WRESTLING POSTAL CARDS.
German Novelty Caused a Hunt
for Birds in Mail Sack.

The whStiinI postal card in the for
eign mail department of the general
postoffice at New York was much in
evidence the other morning when the
mail that came over in the Cunarder
Campania was opened, says the New
York Times. There were hundreds Of
the whistling variety in the mall and
for probably an hour the uninitiated
postal clerks were busy trying to find
canary birds, jay birds and in several
cases crying babies that the sounds
that filed the room led them to believe
had crossed the Atlantic in mail bags.
The cards come from Germany and
are about the same size as the regula-
ton American cards. Where the mes
sage is to be written there are the pic
lures Of two birds. one bird flying to
the east and the other to the west.
Between the birds the whistle. which
is Il very small affair, is ingeniously
inserted and emitS it's sound when the
card is grasped.

IRRIGATION IN THE SOUTH.
Important Government Report in
the Process of Preparation.

! 1t is quite likely that some time
within the coming six or eight months,
says the Washington Post, Professor
Mead of the department of agriculture
will write a paper on the subject OF
| irrigation east of the Rocky mount-
aims, with special reference TO to the
south. Several years ago Mr.. Hamil,
ton Yancey, agent for the department
in northern Georgia, who owns large
farm in the Coosa Valley, Cherokee
county, Ala, decided to try the expert
ment of irrigation on his place to as
certain whether or not 1t could be
profitably employed in the south. The
farm in question lies in bend OF the
Coosa river and is almost level.
The soil, a rich, heavy loan, retains
water for considerable period after
rains, and for years past 1t has pro-
duced heavy crops of corn AMI cotton.
So long as the rainfall was regular
Mr.. Yancey was certain of reaping a
large quantity of grain from this
land, but for the past two or three
seasons the district in question has
suffered from the effects of prolonged
drought, and as result the crops have
proven failures. Early last season Mr..
Yancey applied to the department re-
questing information as to the manner
of constructing an irriSating plant,
and in response Professor Mead dis
patched Mr.. w, H. Code to the scene,
who erected on Mr.. Yancey's farm AN
irrigating machine, or pump, with a
capacity of 200 gallons and operated
by means of a 35-horse power engine.
The water lifted from the Coosa
river to height of thirty feet through
ten-inch pipe and distributed over
the land brought results that were
astonishing. At the time the plant
| was erected the corn crop on the land
was suffering from drought, the stalks
| being little over three feet in height
| In three weeks after the plant began
operation Mr.. Yancey rode through
the field on horseback. and from his
, lofty perch was barely able to see over
| the tops of the stalks. Mr.. Mead
states that as result of this expert
ment, which has been pretty we'll ad-
| vertised throughout the south, there
! is a growing interest in irrigation
| throughout this section, and inquiries
and request are coming in from many
quarters of the trans-Ohio region from
| farmers VINO desire lnIOrmdGlOn duu
! who reside in places which now and
then are visited by severe dry spells
The interest in the foregoing lies in
the fact that the Yancey farm is the
first upon which irrigation has been
| practiced in the south and the second
to adopt means of artificial watering
east of the Mississippi river, the first
having been the old Newell farm, near
Boston Mass, upon which the father
of irrigation in the United States, Mr..
Frederick Hayes Newell, spent his
boyhood.

FEW FAILURES DURING 1902.
Commercial Casualties Smallest
i'm Fourteen Years.

In spite of some crop shortages,
added to record breaking strikes and
reduced foreign trade Bradstreet's
for January reports that the failure
record for the past wear is on the
whole favorable one. In only one
section, the south, was there an IN
crease of casualties over the record of
1901, and in only two, the south and
central west, and there an increase of
liabilities.
During the year there were reported
9.67I commercial failures with liabili-
ties of $lC5, 693 623, and assets of $780,
$40, 800, a decrease in mum Der of fail
ures of 5.5 and per cent are shown
but comparisons with prior years are
markedly in favor of 1902. In liabili-
ties an even better showing is made,
those of 1902 being the smallest re-
ported for twenty years. While the
proportion of assets to liabilities was
AS per cent in 1902, as against 1919 in
1901, and 47.2 in 1900, il is lower than
in any preceding year since 1885.
With two exceptions the number OF
failures was the smallest in fourteen
years, despite The fact that the num-
Der of concerns in business is growing
steadily, the increase since 1892 ag-
gregating 10 per cent. The annual
death" rate is shown to be only 80
in 1902, against .S8 in 1901, and .85,
hitherto the lowest records made, in
1900 and 1899.

A SALT COVERED LAKE.
A Six Inch Crust Completely
COnCea!S the Water.

Probably the most remarkable lake
in the world is one with a coating of
salt that completely conceals the wa
ter. 1t may be seen at any time dur
ing the year, fully exposed, being seen
at its best when the sun is shining
directly upon 1t. This wonderful body
of water is one of the saltiest of the
salt lakes, and is situated near OBJ
dorsk, Siberia. The lake is nine miles
vide and seventeen long, and within
the memory of man was entirely roof
ed oyer by the salt deposit. Origi'
nally evaporation played che most
prominent part in coating the lake
over with salt, bat at the present time
the salt springs which surround it are
adding fast to the thickness of the
crust. In the long ago periodical
evaporation of the lakes waters left
great salt crytals on the surface. In
course of time these Caked together
Thus the waters were finally entirely
covered. In 1873 the lake found an
underground outlet into the river Obi,
which lowered its surface about three
feet. The salt crust was so thick,
however, that it retained its old level,
and now presents the curious spec
tacle of salt rooted lake. The salt
coat increases six inches in thickness
every year. The many islands with
which the lake is studded are said to
act as braces and to help keep the
arched salt crust in position.
