The disease 10 generally referred to as
the speed craEa or speed mania. By
q rather strange coincidence q dis
cussion on this subject took place at
the Societe dc Hydrologic ct de Psy.
Geologic, In Paris. only q few days
before the tragic death Of Zborowski.
One OF the speakers, Dr. Ratchet Soup.

sition to increase thar speed OF
transition at will are simply carried
away by the consciousness thereof.
They have no longer control OF them
selves; they are intoxicated. They then
develop characteristics which are for.

Large Areas In That Country Ara
without Surface Water-Govera-
msnt boring Plant X ept Busy.

Over large areas In South Africa the
surface Is streamless, and hence without
q visible water supply. BY boring to no
great depth, though, the desired article
can almost invariably be found. says the
New York Tribune. An engineer in the
public works department Of the Cape
government says that in the last Ave
years the authorities have made 5000
boreholes at an average cost Of ESQ each,
and at least three-fourths Of these have
produced water In satisfactory ouanti-
ties, the daily output from such wells
now being about $4,000 900 gallons. The
Transvaal government has also ap-
pointed an expert to study local possible
ties.
These facts are naturally of interest to
manufacturers Of well-boring plants,
who are already doing considerable
business with South Africa, and who may
expect to see that business multiplied
many times over during the next few
years. During 1898, 1899 and 1900 appli-
cations for the use of Cape government
drills averaged about 500 annually, and
at present, so largely have these appli-
cations increased. no fewer than half q
hundred drills are In constant operation,
and the government is said to have
booked sufficient work to keep the exist
ing plant fully occupied for at least three
years, and further applications will
therefore have to be met by large in
creases Of plant. and by extensive private
enterprise in the same direrection.
