STRENUOUS LIFE IN WASHINGTON
Coiored Citizen Has Best Of Argument
with Trolley Oar.

with Trolley Car
A dusky citizen of Washington while
laboring under the effects of several
pints of hallucination attempted to
wreck a Pennsylvania avenue motor
car one evening last week. He butted
into it with great force, the impact
driving the car back considerable
distance and putting out all the lights.
Several passengers who were dangling
from the straps were flung to the moor
with much violence and the startled
fare register rang up seven unauthor-
lied fares.
The shock was felt even in the power
house, where the pipe Of the chief en-
gineer was rudely hurled to the floor
and the night watchman's dinner pail
fell off window sill.
Experts who saw the accident are
convinced that the only thing that
prevented the telescoping feature.
which, which is usually a character
istic of head-on collisions. was the
elasticity of the colliding bedies-or
rather, of the dashboard and the dusky
head.
Strange to say, the only visible indi-
cation of the collision is deep dent
in the forward end of the motor, the
other party to the bump having walked
off apparently in good condition.

and there is every reason to expect
that the mineral output of the desert
will be quadrupled in the next decade.
The total population of the Great
American Desert in 1900 was about
100000 people, or 1.5 to the square
mile, or twice as many to the square
mile as the Sahara. OF this total pop

the existence of cities and industries.
Like the deserts of the Sahara and
Asia. those of America have supply
of underground water. Though not
often sufficient for agriculture enough
has usually been found to afford a
supply for cattle, railroads and mines.
The sterile and hopeless-looking soil
of the desert when artificially watered
is apparently more fertile than that
region where rainfall is more abund
ant. There is no nobler spectacle than
a dreary waste converted into an en-
erald oasis by water artificially APP
plied. and in the desert may be seen
some of the most profitable and skill
ful agriculture in the world. The
wheat fields of Utah and Sonora, the
great cotton farms of Coahuila. the
alfalfa valleys of the Rio Grande and
the orchards of California are all in
spiriting examples. The transforma-
ton made in the desert Where irriga-
