Where Water Is Lackind,

The industrial growth Of any
country and it's capacity for high
civilization depend in an eminent
degree upon its agricultural devel-
opment. Manufacturing and COM
mercial interests may fuctuate,
mines may become exhausted, but
the progress of the seasons perpet-
ually renews the productivity of the
soil, and only the Incidence of man
or the perversity Of government can
impair this elementary source Of
wealth and power. The state, there
fore, regards its agricultural re-
sources with a jealous eye, and so
long as these are dWarfed and stunt
ed from natural causes it feels that
it cannot reach the highest goal of
prosperity and enlightenment. Of
the 100000 square miles, more or
less, within the territorial limits of
the United States, excluding Alaska
and the islands, about 100000, or
43 per cent, are not supplied by ma
ture with sufficient rainfall during
the summer season to sustain sue
cessful agriculture.-North Ameri-
can Review.

THE DEATH RECORD.

Major G.. S. Clagget of the Second
United States infantry is dead at New
Orleans.
Colonel Joseph A. Lubliner is dead
at Sterling, Ills. In 1848 he served on
the staff of Kossuth, with the rank of
colonel.
Judge John A. Chandler, agent of
the Milwaukee road at St. Paul and
the oldest railroad man in the country
in point of continuous service, is dead.
Cecil Rhodes died at Cape Town
Wednesday after a long illness. The
immediate cause Of death was two
successive attacks of heart failure.
Mr. Rhodes had been ailing for two
years. Whether it was due to his ex-
periences during the long siege of
Kimberley, or the accumulated anx-
ieties regarding the war in South At
RIGA, with an accompanying change of
public feeling in England towards
him, there is no doubt he has been al
most completely broken down for
some months past.

Tired Ewes,

People speak about their eyes be-
ing tired, meaning that the retina
or seeing portion of the eye is ia
tigued, but such is not the case, as
the retina hardly ever gets tired.
The fatigue is in the inner and out
er muscles attached to the eyeball
and the muscles of accommodation
which surround the lens of the eye.
When near object is to be looked
at, this muscle relaxes and allows
the lens to thicken, increasing its
retroactive power. The inner and
outer muscles are used in covering
the eye on the object to be looked
at, the inner one being especially
used when a near object is looked
at. It is in the three muscles men
toned that the fatigue is felt, and
relief is secured temporarily by clos
ing the eyes or gazing at far distant
objects. The usual indication Of
strain is a redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening a congested state
of the inner surface, accompanied
by some pain. Sometimes this Wee-
riness indicates the need of glasses
rightly adapted to the person, and
in other cases the true remedy is to
massage the eye and its surround
ings, so far as may be, with the
hand in cold water.-Family Doc

A QUEER VESSEL.
Description of The Demologos, tn
Worlds First Steam Warskip.

Description of The Demologos, the
Worlds First Steam Warship.
The credit for giving to the Unit
ed States the honor for building the
worlds first steam warship belongs
jointly to the inventor of the steam
boat, Robert Fulton, and the presi-
dent Of the United States, James
Madison. The launching, which at
tracted Che attention of the civilized
world, occurred at New York on
Oct. 20, 1914.
Probably the best idea of the
Demologos has been given by the
commission which was intrusted by
President Madison with her con-
struction. They said: 'She is YES
sci resting upon two keels, separated
from end to end by a canal IL feet
wide and &C long. One section con-
tains the caldrons Of copper to pre-
pare her steam. The vast cylinder
of iron, with it's piston, levers and
wheels, occupied another part. The
great water wheel revolved in the
space between them. The main or
gun deck supported her armament
and was protected by bulwark 4
feet 10 inches thick Of solid timber.
This was pierced by thirty port
holes, to enable as many thirty-two
Founders to fire redhot balls. Her
upper or spar deck was plain, and
she was propelled by her enginery
alone"
The fate of the Demologos was
sad one, she being blown up in
mysterious manner while moored
near the Brooklyn navy yard on
June 4, 1929. In this frightful ac-
cident twenty-five persons we're kill
ed, one Of them being a woman.
The official reports do not throw
much light upon the occurrence,
but it is intimated that the explo-
sion was the result of design.
