Digging a Well to Drain a Bog.

An ingenious Yankee who lives on the
west coast of Florida adopted novel
method TO drain bog on his plantation.
He put down four-inch well in the mid
die of his bog deep enough to tap the
waterb bearing gravel. \ nice flow of
water was encountered. which rose in the
well nearly to the surface. AS soon as
the top of the pipe was pushed down to
level with the bottom of the bog the
water in the pond rushed down into the
well and passed off through subter-
ranean channels. In a few hours the bog
was drained. The land has since been
plowed and is now a valuable truck farm.
Scientists declare that wet lands in many
sections Of the country can be drained by
this simple method. Care must be taken
not to permit the well to fill up with
rubbish which might impede the ingress
OF the water.

NOT ACQUIRED BY SOUTHERN.

Mr. Barr.

apecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, November 1.-the
rumor from New York to the effect that The
Seabooard Air Line had at last been acquir-
ed by the Southern railway excited great
interest in railway and financial circles
here.
The fact that the rumor emanated from
the Wall street firm which was the agent
of the Moore Brothers and other Rock
Island magnates in the transaction of 4
few weeks ago, whereby the Rock Island
and Frisco interests seated several directors
in the Seaboard gave to the statement a
semblance of authority.
Mr.. James M. Barr. first vice president
and general manager of the Sea board, was
cut of the city at the time the rumor
came. This left it uncontradicted or con-
firmed There were all sorts of stories
afioat. one of which was to the effect that
the general offices of the system would be
transferred to Washington and the road
actually consolidated with the Southern.
All such speculation and rumors We're dis
PEELED, however, when Mr.. Barr arrived az
his office this morning. To a representative
of The Evening Star he declared that the
rumor was but revival of those that had
gone before and that the road had not been

mouse which had contrived to find its way
into cupboard among a lot of wineglasses.
Evidently the cat saw that to capture the
mouse in that retreat would be a somewhat
difficult task. so, jumping onto the top Of
the cupboard, from plate there he gently
precipitated piece of cheese onto the floor
