MEXICAN CENTRAL ROAD
Will Build to TampicO and Thence
to MatamOrOS.

A private letter received by the
editor from Eagle Pass, Texas,
from former resident of Browns
vile, says:
al am Informed by very good
authority that the Mexican Cen
trail railroad will soon extend their
line To Tamplco aud from there they
will build to MHtamorOS, Mexico.
This Information comes through a
gentleman just returned from Tam
pico, where he obtained it from
prominent and reliable sources.
He Furthermore states that the
road from TampieO to Matamoros
would soon be completed, that is
to say, will be in operation in
about a year and six months from
now. If this is definite, which it
no doubt is, old Brownsville will
| imagine be the second best town
ON the border.
eft is also rumored that the Mex.
lean National will extend from San
Miguel to Monterey"

WHEAT LANDS IN EUROPE.
shown by Analysis, the Soil Of 81
IBERIA II Similar to That Of
America.

We are told that the south European
wheat lands constitute broad belt
of prairie, 600 to 700 miles in average
width, beginning in Hungary and ex-
tending northeastward to the Ural
mountains, and then westward into
Siberia to unknown boundaries, says
the Export Implement Age. On the
north and the west are the gray for
est lands" and on the south and west
are salt and alkaline districts and
sandy wastes and finally the Caucasus
and the Ural mountains, by both
chemical and mechanical analyses the
soil is shown to be remarkably sim
liar to that of our own prairies, also
commonly known by the similar term
of "black loam." The depth is, on an
average, probably a little greater than
tht of our prairie soil. From chem
zeal standpoint the soils of the two
regions are similarly characterized az
by an exceptionally large amount of
thoroughly humified organic matter;
(2) by the presence of an unusual pro-
portion of phospboric acid, and (3) by
a great amount, comparatively, OF
lime, potash and other alkales. These
soils are therefore alkaline, while 9TH
ers, especially of forest regions, are
acid. Ii is well known that the sub
stances thus more abundant in these
soils than in others are just those
usually needed by the wheat plant

THE AUTHORS POWER.
Wields n Magic influence over the
Mind of the Average Reader
of Fiction.

Everybody knows that in a novel q
commonplace person may be made in
teresting by deliberate, patient ex-
position of his various traits, precise
ly as we can learn to like very uninter-
esting persons in real life if circum-
stances place them day after day at
our elbows, says Atlantic. Who OF us
would not grow impatient with the
early chapters Of The Newcomes, for
instance, or The Antiquary, if it were
not for the fact that Thackeray and
Scott know their business, and that
every one of these commonplace peo-
pie will contribute something in the
end TO the total effect? And even
where the gradual development of
character, rather than the mere por-
trayal Of character, is the theme of
novelist, as so frequently with George
Eliot how colorless may be the per-
sonality at the outset. how narrow the
range of thought-and experience por-
trayedl Yet, in George Eliot's own
words: These commonplace people
have a conscience, and have felt the
sublime promptings to do the painful
right" They take on dignity from
their moral struggle, whether the
struggle ends in victory or defeat. BY
an infinite number of subtle touches
they are made TO grow and change be
fore our eyes, like living, fascinating
things.

STORING WATER FOR CROPS.
Work TO Thi. End That Ii Being Done
ny the Geological survey In
California.

The state Of California is particu-
larly alive to the value latent in its
running streams. This is largely due
to the object lesson presented in the
remarkable increase in land values
and productive capacity Of sections
where the water supply has been in
telligently utilized, says the Washing
ton Star. Several thousand dollars
were raised by private subscription
for thorough investigation of the
supply to be obtained from certain wa
tersheds IN the state, and the subscrib-
ing organizations made application to
the photographic branch of the United
States geological survey for careful
measurements of flow and other in
conditions of forestry and topography
upon three typical watersheds.
As a result of these. studies, con-
Quoted by j. b. Lippincott, hydro
grapber Of the geological survey in
California, il was found possible to oh
tain an annual output Of nearly ESQ.,
600 acre-feet Of water, or enough to
cover annually an area Of that ex-
tent 10 depth of one foot, the esti-
mated cost of installed capacity being
about SIS per acre-foot. The water
could be obtained from storage reser-
voirs and from pumping plants TO be
operated electrically by power gener-
ated by the neighboring streams.
1t is believed that the addition to
the resources of the state of this
amount of water for irrigation pur-
poses would be sufficient to support an
additional 100000 people, and would
add in farm values fully $4,000 to the
taxable propertyof the state, irrespec-
tive of the increase in town and city
property which would of necessity fol-
low.

HORSE AND AUTOMOBILE.
6Ae Animal made Acsuaintancs With
the Machine ana Was Easily
Cared Of Has Fear.

There 10 some talk of school
wherein horses may be educated out
of their fear of automobiles; wheth-
Or this would serve or not II another
question,sbut here is a little instance
Of what one sensible, considerate au-
tomobile driver did for the sake Of
. frightened horse, says the New
York Post.
The automobile had come to .
standstill in the roadway to permit
the passage of a small and apparent
ly very young horse in trotting rig
attached to training sulky. The
motor had not been shut OF. so the
machine kept chug-chug-chuggfng as
the horse approached. With q snort
and leap the horse whirled to the
side of the road, nearly throwing out
the man in the sulky. Then the au-
tomobilist shut of the motor and
called to the driver: "Wait a mo-
mcnt until the animal quiets down;
then drive him up slowly while /
sit STILL"
TVS the driver did, and when the
horse was within 10 or IL feet OF the
machine his progress toward It hav-
ing been slow and fearful, the au-
tomobilist got out, took the horse
by the bride, and led him carefully
mp to the car, patting the animal the
while and talking to 1t. Nov, Look
It over, smell it, see there's nothing
to hurt YOU"
For fully five minutes the horse
was permitted to inspect the ma
chine, and at last it seemed quite ac-
customed to it After that the horse
was driven back and forth several
times without evincing the slightest
feat. The automobilist did not start
his car until the horse was almost
out Of sight.
