The monument which is over the
grave of William Fl. Reighter in Mount
Hope cemetery at Logansport, Indiana
is a queer one. The statue part of the
monument represents Mr.. Reighter as
he was attired when stricken with
heart disease. Mr.. Reighter was ditch
contractor, and prominent in his local
ity. 1t was on a rain day that death
came, and he was we'll prepared for the
weather He was wearing a broad
brinained hat, a macintosh over his
suit of clothes, and his trouser legs
were in his rubber boots. The MEM
bers of the family, wishing to remem-
ber him as he looked when last he babe
them good by, employed man about
the same size and build as Mr.. Reighter
to have his photograph taken in the
clothes last worn by the deceased, and
when he had carried out the idea they
replaced the head on the photograph
with the head and likeness of Mr..
Reighter. This picture was sent to a
sculptor in Italy, with the request that
a life-sized statue be made from it in
italian marble. The statue is true to
life It cost $1,000

1t used to be thought that there were
few people 100 years old. Now it is
asserted that there are more than 1000
persons in the United States who are
100 years old or more. Mr.. Joseph H.
Perkins of Syracuse, New York, says he
has collected facts to prove this, and he
is going to publish book telling about

CITY HAS TO BE PUMPED DRY.
Low-Lyfng New Orleans Cannot BE
Drained by the Ordinary
Methods.

The city Of New Orleans, like most
Of the land at each side Of the Missis-
sippi river in the alluvial country, lies
considerably below the high water line
OF the Mississippi river. The whole
city would be inundated by the river
occasionally if 1t we're not protected
by levee along the river front The
city is also protected by levees run
ming at right angles tc the river--one
above the city and one below it--and
also by a levee along the shore Of
Lake Pontchartrain and by levees
along the banks OF the various canals
which reach from that lake into the
territory of the municipality. says the
Engineering Magazine
New Orleans Is so near the mouth
Of the river that the land upon which
the city Is built Is not only lower than
the high water stage Of the river, but
is IN part lower than the level Of the
gulf Of Mexico and Of the various
lakes in the vicinity Of the city.
Therefore. there is no natural drain
age for the land inclosed by the levees
surrounding the town. The rain water
that falls upon thi0 area has to be
pumped so as to force it into either
Lake Pontchartrain or Lake Borgne
The city itself covers a large area. al
though the major portion Of It's area
is not built up as a city. The part at
present chiefly occupied by buildings
consists Of a strip a mile or so wide
along the bank Of the river.
This area is the subject OF rainfalls
