No Migrants Allowed

While other towns and localities are
complaining of this nuisance, Rosedale
is striking exception. We can say with
truth that there are fewer loafers or va
grants il this community than in any OF
like size in the state. There but few, If
any able-bcdied men or boys out OF EN-
ployment. In addition to the profitable
emplovment of the cotton fields, the
many improvements now underway III
our towfi afford work III plenty for all
who are able tolabor. And be it said to
the credit Of the working classes, few
there are WHO do not earn their living by
the sweat of their brow. When one is
found who viii not labor for his exist
euce, he is promptly taken in hand ny
the city authorities and soon convinced
of the error of his ways. As result the
trade of the town is good, our people
have money to spend, and they are pros
porous and contentcd. This is as il
should be. III Such prosperous ant
growing country as our great Delta
there is no reason for the existence o
vagrants, and they should not be toler
aated. Every town should rid Itself o
the nuisance, If they will not voluntarl
ly work, then compel them to do So

t4reat Is the Dsifs.

Within the past few years thousands
OF acres of lands have been opened to
cultivation and millions of dollars invest
ed in the Delta. No section of the state
has shown greater advancement. Sturdy
farmers from the hills and from the
western stares. have moved to this fertile
country by the hundreds, and under
their skiliful labor the lands have been
placed in high state of cultivation, and
many prosperous community now
exists where but a few short years ago
the forest stood in its primeval state.
Lands are steadily increasing In value,
and large unbroken tracts of wild lands
cannot be found save iii but two or
three localities. This development ie due
in a large measure to the many new
railroads which have been built through
out the Delta during the past few years,
furnishing the farmer easy transporta-
ton to market for the products OF his
toll. Civilization and PROSPERITY ever
follows the advent of the railroad.
Bolivar county has been most fortu-
nate in this respect. There is scarcely
a locality that is not withiti reach OF
H.. Nv
is enjoying a growth not exceeded by
any other section OF the Delta. Already
one of the banner cot ton producing coun-
ties Of the state, its Development will be
even more marked during the next few
years, and in the next census Bolivar
will take front rank i'll wealth and pro
ductiveness.

influence of the Moon.

In stating his belief that persons are
influenced by the changes in the moon,
the witness at a recent inquest only
adopted a common superstition The
lessons of ancient astrology that once
ruled mankind so extensively have be-
queathed many superstitions, and in
folklore the moon retains considera BILE
power. Despite the statements of ply
sicians, there is widespread belief
that ltinatics-as witness the name
are Influenced by the states of the
moon; that ''our very marrow unseen
watches the horns of the moon, and
our eovered-up brain follows her
phases" Look at the number who
shudder to see the new moon first
through glass, who make their obei-
sance to her when new, or turn over
the silver in their pockets. Nor does
the smile. of the increduious diminish
their belief

and been married. Within "a hours
the mother and the guardian of the
bride got hold of her and took her
away. At the hearing Judge Law
renee asked the girl if she preferred
to go with her husband or her
mother. She decided for her mother.
and the judge at once dismissed the
case. This was the condition of
things up to last Saturday morning,
when the mother and daughter drove
up to the postoffice at Ashton and the
mother went inside. When she re-
turned she found the girl gone, and
she had fed with her husband, who
was hanging around. The girl is
something of an heiress and con-
siderable money belonging to her is

of heat. can be secured from the suns
rays to raise the water to the neces-
sary temperature, by utilizing this in
vention. which, as will be seen, consists
of an ordinary hot-water boiler set in a
glass-inclosed pocket in the roof of the
house. Surrounding the boiler and
forming the sides of the pocket are a
number of polished metal refectors,
which serve to concentrate the heat
rays on the reservoir, and it is not at
all unlikely that the interior of the
pocket will be sufficiently warm to
heat the bathing water all summer
without any artificial heat. In winter
time when the range replaces the gas
stove and a constant fire is maintaine ID
it is arranged so that the solar heater
can be disconnected and all the water
withdrawn from the boiler to prevent
freezing, the supply pipes leading to
the tub being connected with both the
range and the solar heater.-LOuisville

HOW RAIN IS FORMED.
SemI-sclentIfic Explanation of n Phe-
nOnemOn In Which Everybody.
Is IntereAted.

With regard to the formation Of
by Espy, namely, that the rain comes
from clouds formed by the cooling of
ascending currents CT moist air. The
cooling is due primarily to the fact
that when the air ascends by any nat
ural process it also expands, and, there
fore, pushes the surrounding air aside.
But push and expansion mean that
work is being done. The expansion of
steam in a cylinder pushes the piston
ahead and docs the work of the en-
CINE, but this work is done at the ex-
pense of the heat in the hot steam,
and the latter cools just in proportion
as the work is done. We ordinarily
say that the internal heat of the steam
is converted into visible work, or the
potential energy of pressure is con-
verified into kinetic energy of motion.
Just so with the rising air; it ex-
pands, does work, and cools at a rather
rapid rate as it rises Zone deg. f. for
: 1S5 feet).,, If It rises until it cools
to the temperature of saturation at
which it can hold no more moisture
than that which is carried up with it,
then, condensa ton Begins and haze or
cloud becomes visible. But in this con-
-densation the latent heat of the con-
densed moisture is given out, thereby
preventing the air from cooling as rap
idly as it has hitherto done. 1t there
fore now begins to cool less rapidly
and to ascend more rapidly.
The radiation of heat. from the up
per surface of cloud at night, or the
absorption of the suns heat in the
daytime, has less influence when the
ascending air. rises rapidly than when
it rises slowly. The latter case occurs
in our extended transforms, especially
those over the, ocean where the clouds
often travel at the rate of 100 miles an
hour, and the individual particles of
air appear to rise relatively very little,
possibly a mile in that distance, but,
of course, rolling over and over each
other as they proceed. There is no
doubt but that a little mixture goes
on at the boundary of the ascending
air between it and the neighboring air,
but, on the one hand, this is too small
matter to explain the formation of
rain on the outside of cloud, and, on
the other hand, it does not occur at
all in the interior of a cpmdlus clouds
where the rainfall is heaviest.
Just how the particles of cloud hap
pen to come together, or to grow into
big drops, has not yet been clearly eX-
planned, but in general we know that
only small proportion, possibly one
per cent, of all the moisture in a ellen
comes down as rain, while the rest of
the cloud evaporates and disappears.

SOLAR WATER HEATER.
California Man Has Invented a Cons
trivance Which He Considers
of Rare Value.

The majority of bathers do not want
hot water for all their summer baths,
and yet it is nearly always necessary to
start a fire to take the chill off the
water, as few can stand it at the nor
NAL temperature. AS a matter of
economy in performing this service the
solar water heater recently designed
by a California inventor may, if sue
cezsful, recommend Itself to all houses
holders, the cost of installation being
the final expense also, whereas, in case
of artificial heat the fuel for the fire
soon amounts to considerable. Then,
too, there is generally more than a
sufficient amount of heat in the house
in summer, without generating more
to heat the bathing water. The in
ventor claims that sufficient amount

manipulation of the key from the in
side, and it can therefore be left in
place continually when once inserted
in the escutcheon. The guard is
formed of single strip of spring met
al, which may be stamped to shape,
having Jugs on either side of the shank
to act as locking shoulders on the in
side of the escutcheon when the guard
is in place. To insert the device the
key is first put in place and the guard
is then forced home until the sides are
entered far enough to allow the Tugs
to engage the inner face of the plate.
The guard can then only be with
drawn by pressing the two lips to-
gether from the interior of the room.
To afford the guard a solid hold on the
plate the ends of the metal strip are
bent at return angles, thus making it
necessary to press the parallel sides in
until the outer faces incline toward the
center before the Tugs will engage the
inner surface of the escutcheon.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.
