EIeetrIelty Aids Irria.tion.

Afr1g1ting by electrically operated
pumps has been for some years in q
more or less experimental stage In
California, and has been an interest
Ing pastime for wealthy or particular
" enterprising landhoIders, says lrri-
cation Age. Now. with the great e1-
tension. during the last year or two. of
the territory reached by the long dis
tance electric transmission lines Of
the state, this mode of irrigating has
gone beyond the experimental stage
1t seems to be fully demonstrated
that pumping by electric power is a
cheap and satisfactory method With
the low rates, for power which now
obtain q relative small supply of water
can, by almost constant pumping, be
made to irrigate q fair-sized orchard
and to keep IL in fine condition With
the rapid progress OF electrical devel
opment has come an equal develop
ment in Its use for irrigation. Al
ready many Of the older plants are
out OF date and are being replaced by
the latest refnements in centrifugal
pump practice. Numerous old pump
ing plants have been taken out and
especially designed apparatus Of high
er efficiency has been substituted with
satisfactory results. Ideas on econom.
ic pumping are also changing with ex.
perience. Until recently there was q
feeling among irrigators that there
was not great economy in pumping
against high heads for irrigation work.
This idea has. however, been dis.
proved by recent practice, and where
formerly Is or 20 feet was considered
a high enough head, heads of from 10
to 100 feet are now quite common.
Previous to the advent of cheap elec.
trio power the orchardists in the or
ange belt of Tulare county had al.
ready made an extended use of pump.
ing for irrigation purposes. The value
of the land In that locality for orange
growing. the dryness of the climate,
anu the imp-acticability of securing
river or artecian water for irrigating
purposes rendered pumping a neces-
sity. More or less extensive steam,
soline and horse power pumping
plants have therefore been quite com.
mon in the vicinity of Lindsay and
Porterville for number of years. As
might be expected this locality has
been one Of the first to take up and
make effective use of the electric cur
rent for irrigation.

PARIS, Nov 9.-The Government
is taking precautions to handle
another outbreak on the part of the
striking miners should the decieion
reached last night to continue the
str ke be followed by violence.
Troops were active in the mining
regions throughout the day, but no
serious disorders have as yet been
reported. The authorities believe
that the crisis in the strike is near
and that the next twenty four
hours will settle the question wheth-
er the men hold their decision to
continue the movement or stray
gle back to the mines.
Following the decision OF the
miners congress to continue the
strike there were disorderly occur
rences in Lens Pas de Calaia) last

At Courrieres (Pas de Calais)
houses of non-strikers were sacked
aud number OF coal wagons were

A clash batwesu strikers aud
gendarmes and cavalry is reported
from Clermont Fsrrapd (Puy &c

serious results.
From some mining centers it is
reported that some of the miners
are likely to return to work tomor-

Fanny was small indeed when she came, but now
she is almost large as she ever will be- She has
also grown tame that she no longer fears the
boys who poke sticks in her, but retaIiates by
sometimes shooting her long neck out suddenly
and nipping them when thy least expect il
Fanny seems to have come to the conclusion that
all small boys to be regarded with suspicion

The story has often been told, probably by the
small boys she has nipped, that Fanny is addicted
TO the eating Of rails knives and other hardware
but this Mr Holmes, he keeuer declares to be a
base caumny. He tried her once by placing
zeg Of tenpenny nails within easy reach of her, but
they did not tempt Fanny; she only shifted at
them, and then glanced reproachfuly at her
keeper.
Fannys diet is exclusively vegetarian. Lettuce
grass grains and choppad carrots radishes.
nips and beets form her daily bill Of fare. Some
times some cracked bones are given her, as 10
chickens are given lime and gravel. on several
occasions she has built herself nest in the hay
and laid several large. white eggs, but she never
attempted to hatch them out.
