African Irrigation
Immense Plant Constructed by Cecil Rhodes.
aaaaa2naAnNAa aann va af

An important piece OF work has re-
Gently been completed in the shape Of
Mr.. Rhodes Matoppo dam. which Is to
be used in connection with the irri-
cation of a portion of his farm near
Bulawayo, Africa. This farm is stu
ated ca the northern edge OF the
Matoppos. eighteen miles from Bula-
wayo, and through It runs the val
ley Of a tributary from the Malima
river. This tributary is dry eight
months in the year. and the land
around consequently parched.
Mr.. Rhodes schemes are nothing II
not big, and In this instance he has
built q huge earthwork wall TO dam
the tributary. The work was begun
In May. 1899, and has taken nearly
two and a half years to complete. 1t
will render possible the cultivation Of
some 1000 to 1900 acres Of the most
fertile soil. The total cost up to date
has been something under $50. 900.
The completion of a canal to divert the
Malime food waters into the reservoir
will bring this total up to about G35.-

A Chinese paper published in, Pekin
has obtained tho following details rela-
tive to the deaths Of the high ofidi ais
Chauchuchiau, Yung-nien and Prince
Chwang, who committed suicide on
command OF the emperor. 1t is impos-
sible to give the full report. as the de-
tails of the actual suicides are given
with true Chinese barbarity and una
dorned lucidity. The whole account,
however, bears the stamp Of truth, and
the statement of the Chinese court thai
the three officials had paid the penalty
for their crimes, hitherto improved,
may hereby be considered as confirmed.
The report runs:
"Chauchuchiau ate gold leaf. which
is the distinguished method of taking
ones life among well-to-do Chinese.
Death is caused not by poisoning. as Is
generally assumed. but by asphyxia. as
the thin gold leaves stick in the air
passages. Hoping against hope, how
ever. that the empress would nave
mercy on him, he took too little. and,
as he still lived when the time pre-
scribed had elapsed, he took opium

Chinese have a new scheme for get
ting into the United States in spite of
the exclusion laws, according to a dis
covery which has been made by the
Japanese consul's Office in Chicago. 1t
was announced by Chancellor Yoshito
Komma OF the Chinese-Japanese con-
sulato that several Chinese had clipped
off their queues and represented them
selves as Japs.
To one who is not well acquainted
with the features of the two Orientals
the difference between a Chinese with
out a queue and a Jap Is so slight as
to escape notice. This similarity Is
said to have been taken advantage Of
by the Chinese repeatedly and With
great success to gain admission TO the
United States. 'lf' 80
The dress and other characteristics
were changed in accordance. ,iphe
sacredness with which all Chinese are
said to regard their queues had 'beeh
instrumental in getting them past the
inspectors when their braids have beep

should be a fair return for the capital

that the production of eggs in winter

1t is entirely probable that a law
will be passed in England at an early
date permitting the use of borax in
Iutter 10 the extent of one-half of one
per cent. The same law will prohibit
the use of any ~preservative in milk.
On January 10, 1899. Parliament
passed a law creating a commission to
investigate the harmfulness or harm
lessness of p~reservatives in butter and
milk. This commission has been al
work for over two years collecting evil
ience and making experiments. II
has sought information not only In
england but in foreign countries. The
report that IL will make TO Parliament
IS known and it is believed the re.
port will result in the law mentioned.
The important thing about II is that
II will prevent the use of preserva.
lives in milk. That is the substance
largely used as food. especially by in
valids anG children. No person eats
enough butter at any n time to be
greatly harmed by the one-half per
cclt of borax In 1t. But with milk II
is entirely different. 1t Is far more
likely to spoil than butter and this
fact induces recklessness on the part

IL Will thus be seen that the acreage
yields in both Germany and the United
Kingdom are about double those of the
United States. This is due to the prac-
tice in those countries OF intensive ag-
riculture. American farmers have 1t
easily in their power to enormously
increase the wheat output of their
wheat lands without increasing the
area. In fact, all effort should be put
forth toward making each acre do
more instead OF increasing the num-
