Good weather at the South with the

the unsettled condition of affairs in Wall
Street but these adverse influences were
more than offset by marked and surpris-
ing falling off in the movement of the
crop which attracted general attention,
and led TO considerable covering by
shorts. Not only were the days receipts
and estimates for tomorrow very light,
but the semi weekly movement at the
thirteen leading interior towns showed
really a sensational falling off, the re-
ceipts being much lighter than either
last year or the year before. We think
the market will be governed for the inn
mediate future by the movement of the
crop from day to day, and it is possible
that the figures will be moderate to say
the least and will lead to a much better
market. TARRANT & KING.

APair Of Famous Hymns.

Two hymns. "Nearer My God to
Thee" and "Lead. Kindly Light"
have recently attracted universal At
teution because of their association
with the late President. The first
named hymn Was written by Sarah
Flower Adams in l845. She was .
member OF the English Unitarian
church. The hymn was first set to
the music OF an air that had no hope
of ever becoming popular AMI in 1860
DR.. Lowell Mason gave to the sublime
music to which it is now sung. Lead
Kindly Light" was written in 1888 by
john Henry Newman, then an Epis-
copalian clergyman but later Ko-
man Catholic priest and finally one
of the famous Cardinals of that
church.

USING WATER TO BUILD DAMS
California and Texas Reverse the fiydrnuIic
Mining Process.

| 6VsUiuy btOCGSSs
The Uhited States Geological Sur.
vey has been studying methods OF
building dams cheaply. with view to
promoting irrigation in arid regions
Its inquiries have led to al interesting
revelation.
Some Of the old time operations oil
the miners for placer gold and the use
of the hydraulic "giant" have eug.
gested an ingenious method of con.
structing dams for reservoirs in the
West. The hydraulic giant was found
to be . most effective and powerful
agent in removing even compact bod
les of earthern material. A stream OF
water brought from an elevation un.
der great pressure and directed
against the face OF q hill in which
gold was supposed to be, ate its way
into the mass with tremendous force,
cutting out large amounts Of the ma.
terial and washing them away, the
waste water asserting the fine from
the coarse particles. The sand and
gravel thus washed away were care.
fully examined for the precious metal.
OF recent years hydraulic power has
been employed to almost reverse this
process. Engineers, appreciating the
great transporting and asserting power
of water used in this way, have availed
themselves Of it to build up instead Of
tear down the land; and by carefully
guiding the material loosened by the
force Of the water they have been able
to accumulate and arrange it almost
at will. Tho process has been found
especially useful in the construction
OF dams. For example. if an earth
dam is to be built. the material rolled
along by the water is carried in fumes
to the selected spot. On leaving the
flume, small powders and coarse grav.
el are at once deposited. The sand
flows on further, and the fine mud il
carried in suspension for considerable
distances. 1t is thus possible 10 de.
pesit the gravel on the outer slope oi
the dam and the finer material in the
center, thus making . central imper'
vious clay wall aud heavy coating ol
coarser gravel on the upper aud lower
faces Of the dam. The material being
deposited under water is thoroughly
compacted, and there is less danger oi
settlement or of porous layers being
formed than in the case of dirt placed
by carts or scrapers. A number oi
dams, notably in Southern CAlilornis
and in Texas, have been built with ex.
traordinary speed and small expense
in this way, and even high railroad
embankments have been constructed
in like manner.

FLEET-FoOTED DOGS.
Speed and Endurance of Wolves, Foxes
and Terriers.
From Our Animal Friends.

fIoui oIT Animal
Comparatively few people realize Of what
remarkable speed dogs are capable Some
remarkable statistics in regard to this have
been gathered by NJ. Dusolier, a French
scientist. After pointing out the marvellous
endurance shown by little fox terriers who
follow their masters patiently for hours
while the latter are riding on bicycles or in
ance Is shown by certain wild animals that
are akin to dogs. Thus the wolf can run
between fifty and sixty miles In one night,
and an arctic fox can do quite as we'll IL
not better. Nansen met one of these foxes
on the ice at point more than seventy
miles northwest Of the Sanikow territory
which is $50 miles from the Asiatic coast
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel for
ty-hve miles on the ice in five hours, and
there Is one case on record in which team
of Eskimo dogs travelled six and one-half
miles in twenty-eight minutes. According
10 NJ Rusoier. the speed of the shepherd
dogs and those used In hunting ranges from
ten TO fifteen yards second. English set
tiers and pointers hunt at the rate Of eigh-
teen 10 nineteen miles an hour, and they
can maintain this speed for at least two
hours. FoxhoundS are extraordinarily
swift. as is proved by the fact that dog
of this breed once beat a thoroughbred
horse. covering four miles in six and one
half minutes, which was at the rate of
nearly eighteen yards a second. Grey
creatures, and their speed may be regarded
as equal to that of carrier pigeons. English
greyhounds, which are carefully selected
and which are used for coursing are able to
cover at full gallop a space between eigh-
teen and twenty-three yards every second
