The floating gardens in the lakes
near the city OF Mexico were recently
visited by an English naturalist, who
reports them paradise and accounts
for their existence. Floating tangles
of peat moss. rushes and grass are
caught by stakes driven into the soft
lake bottom, and upon this mass rich
mud from the bottom is thrown. The
surface is then transformed into
market garden.

The United States census for 1900

The prettiest homing pigeon race yet
flown from Hagerstown fair grounds took
place yesterday, when four baskets, con-
tanning 1T birds were liberated before the
largest crowd ever assembled at any Mary
land fair. at 1:3S pm, shortly after the
close of the first trotting race.
For thirty-six hours they had been on ex-

when taken before the immense grand stand
showed by their restless disposition that
they We're anxious to test their mettle. AS
the band struck up the air of Hail to the
Spirit of Liberty" four assistants raised the
lids of the baskets, and, as one bird, the
entire flock rose, and making but a semi
circle, made a bee line for Washington
where they were anXiously awaited by their
owners.
1ne first to return was to the loft of Fred
Klinge at 3:46, averaging slightly over
thirty miles an hour, which was necessarily
slow, as the birds missed their last training
fight owing to the inclement weather of
the past few days.
