MODERN Engineering Feat.

An unparalleled engineering feat, says
Golfers Weekly, has recently been
achieved in Australia of immense val
ue to the gold fields. The COolgardie
water scheme is TO Australia what the
famous Assuan dam is to Egypt. The
remarkable feat of pumping 5000 900
gallons of water a day for 4 distance
of 800 miles. from the Helena river to
KalgoOrlie. has been accomplished by
English engineers by means Of a great
dam, called the Numbering weir, ninety
feet high, constructed across the Hele-
ma river twenty miles from Perth The
reservoir capacity is about 5000. 900, 900
gallons. There are 4 number OF aux
Hilary reservoirs and pumping stations
along the S0-inch steel water main
which runs along the railroad line TO
the gold fields-the richest square
mile of earth on the globe near Kali
goorlie. The only foreign enterprise of
equal Importance is the SimplOn tun-
mel, the great burrow which will make
Switzerland and Italy next door neigh
bOrS. In 4 short time Pullman trains
will pass through the Simplon Alps in
a few minutes, 1000 feet under the snow
covered diligence road which Napoleon
and which takes about ten hours TO
IHaverse in favorable weather. This
tremendous rat hole, which passes under
Lake AvinO, will cost the Jura-Simplon
railroad over SIS, 000, 900.

A Remarkable Case

One Of the most remarkable cases OF a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing
pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.
Fenner, Marion, Ind, who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. She says: THE coughing and
straining so weakened me that l run
down in weight from las to 90 pounds.
I tried 4 number OF remedies to no avail
until l used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
cured me entirely of the cough,
strengthened my lungs and restored me
to my normal weight, health and
strength" r. r. Bellamy.
An exchange refers to the h%einOus-
ness of gentlemen pumping cold lead

a weak stomach weakens the man, be-

enough food to feed the tissues and

which the plaintiffs, g.. srsstianson. and

ants, B. Thordarson and Halidor Ar
mann. for divefting the direction Of a
natural water course. The defence is that
the channel Of the water course divided
and that the diversion complained Of is
not a diversion, but the water was assist
ed some twenty years ago by a pillow fur
row to run in natural channel which
formed one of the forks and has run
therein ever since. Another point of
general interest to the public is likely to
be incidentally decided in this case, and
that is what constitutes a natural water
course, in this country. A natural water
course must not be diverted to another's
damage, but a mere depression which
carries off surplus snrface water for a
short time in the spring or times OF
heavy rains is not water course in the
meaning ofthe law. In,the case here the
evidence is conflicting on this point. In
the level prairies of this valley however,
we have few water courses fed bv springs
running all the year around as in the east
and other billy places; but undoubtedly,
we have natural water courses in the
ordinary meaning of the term, and wheth-
er man would have the right to change
the course of coulee that is small river
