An experiment designed to have an

electricity was used as pumping
agent for irrigation. The experiment
was a success in every respect, and
IL was announced at its conclusion
that there would be an immediate ex-
tension of the electric wires through

JOHANNESBURG REVIviNG.
Hotels are Crowded and Gold Mining
Will Soon be Resumed.

New York Sun.-A letter received in
neSburg says that a large number of
residents are returning every week,
everybody is too busy to think about
the war, and all are sanguine that in
six months from the present time the
mining industry will be on as large a
scale as it was when the mines were
closed over two years ago. The town
was never so busy as it is today
If these sanguine expectations are
realized 5000 stamps will be at work
before the end of the year, and if they
turn out gold as fast as before the war
they will be producing at the rate Of
over $50 1000 900 a year
The people on the Rand, however
feel perfectly certain that there is "
be an enormous increase in the indus
try. They say there is not a particle
of doubt from what is known of the
mineral resources and the present
plans for development that within FIVE
years there will be 1900 stamps in
operation. This would be nearly
three times as many stamps as have
ever been worked on the Rand.
This estimate of future growth may
be extravagant. but it shows at least
the confidence of the people in the
future of the Rand, whose fallen
fortunes they are now working with
the utmost energy to restore.

Wreeking the pan-American exposi-

to be sight of so general interest
that already IL - Chicago Wrecking
company is t,9ing precautions to
keep crowds of people from pouring
into the grounGs. Fences shutting out
the park portions of the grounds and
enclosing the buildings to be wrecked
are being built, and the staff of guards
watching the property is daily being
increased.
Preparations for actual tearing down
OF the large buildings have already
begun. Railroad tracks have been
run into the grounds, forming circu-
itous route through the court of foun-
tains and running alongside each of
the big buildings. The existence of
the railroad tracks is indicative of
the economic way in which the wreck

work of reducing the structures into
disable material.
Practically all of the stuff will be

A LAUGHING CHORUS.

Oh, such a commotion under the
ground
When March called, "Ho, there!
ho,"
Such spreading of rootlets far and
wide,
Such whispering to and fro!
And care you ready" the Snowdror
asked,
"'Tis time to start, you know"
Almost, my dear" the Scilla replied
"I'll follow as soon as you GO"
Then, 'Ha! ha! hal" a chorus came
OF laughter soft and low
From the millions of flowers under
the ground
Yes, millions-beginning to grow.
"Tll promise my blossoms" the Crocus
said,
when I hear the bluebirds sing"
"And straight thereafter" Narcissus
cried,
my silver and golu I'll bring"
"And ere they are dulled," another
spoke,
Inc ny dCIuLu DcllS Shall mug
And the Violet only murmured, I'm
here"
And sweet grew the air of spring.
Then "Ha! ha! ha!" a chorus came
Of laughter soft and low
From the millions of flowers under
the ground
Yes, misunderstanding to grow.
Oh, the pretty, brave things! Through
the coolest days
Imprisoned in walls of brown,
They never lost heart though the blast
shrieked loud,
And the sleet and the hail came
down,
But patiently each wrought her beaBi
full dress,
Or fashioned her beautiful crown.
And now they are coming to brighten
the world,
Still Swallowed by winters frOwn;
And we'll may they cheerily laugh
"Ha! hal"
In a chorus soft and low,
From the millions of flowers under
the ground
Yes, misunderstanding to grow

Cadets Have to Work Hard and There

is Little Time for Frolic.
In describing lie daily life of a
cadet it is unfortunately necessary, at
the outset to refute the idea that this
life is made up largely of leisure and
frolic. Nothing could be further from
the truth. No college in the country
manages to crowd into a course of
four years SO extensive a curriculum.
Yet, in addition to all the long hours
spent in study and recitation. every
cadet is obliged to master thoroughly
all the intricacies of the drill minor
tactics, the outdoor application of
academic studies, and, in general, the
essentials of a sound technical and
military training.
A young man there is obliged to
rise at 6 o'clock every morning. ex-
cept Sunday, when he may stay abed
until 7. Just enough time is allowed
him in which to dress properly, and to
