Autos in Wheat Fields.

In the immense California wheat fields the
modern steam automobiles have cheapened
the cost of harvesting wheat so that the grain
can be raised there at less actual cost than in
the Argentine republic, where farm labor
may be hired for only a fraction of a dollar
per day. These large autos of the California
wheat fields are of so horse. power and are
provided with driving wheels 60 inches in
diameter. They are made to do the blowing,
planting and harvesting at the proper season.
In the spring they drag across the immense
wheat fields Is ten-inch plows, four six-foot
harrows and press drill for planting the seed
wheat. In this way one such machine per
forms the triple work of blowing, narrowing
and planting all in one operation.

The Storm.
From Philadelphia Ledger, March 8


The storm of last week was remarkable not
alone on account of the great damage wrought,
but by reason of its wide extent. On Friday
rain fell from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast,
and the storm which originated in the Pacific
Ocean came ashore at Oregon, dashed to Tex
as and then went up through Oklahoma and
Missouri, and spread from Wisconsin to the
Eastern seaboard, covered two-thirds and,
perhaps, three-quarters of the United States.
Like conditions prevailed in large part OF
this "colossal disturbances" snowfall and
freezing weather were followed by high tenn
perature and copious rains, and large part
of the continent was bloodhound. In this
State the storm was very severe, and IN the
Schuylkil river there was such flood as has
not been seen since 1869. Railroad tracks
were submerged, travel impeded, houses, fac
tories and streets flooded and great damage
done to property. The interruption of through
trade and travel was not so serious as was
formerly the case when wooden bridges
spanned streams Then one bridge would be
carried away by floating timber or other wreck
age which gathered in size and weight as it
advanced, and other bridges would give way.
Bridges are now made of steel on foundations
of solid masonry, powerful enough to with
stand floods; but, while the general travelling
public has not been so greatly incommoded
as formerly by so great flood, the damage to
property all along the Schuylkill to its mouth
has probably been greater than ever before,
because the lowlands along the rivers course
are now more closely built up than ever. The
comparatively low price of land near the river
has invited the building of factories and dwell
ing houses, and the property loss is large.

putting out the gas in q kind Of
dream, for had been drinking heav-
fly. A mosquito awakened me with
its maddening buzz and lay in a
stupor for a little while, asking my
self what the overpowering odor was
that filed the room and what was
the cause of my feeling of dizziness
and faintness. Then l tried to get
20 sleep again, but the mosquito
wouldn't let me. 1t buzzed and bit
and at last it reused me thoroughly.
