ing miniature rivers through streets,
flooding cellars and inficting damage
that will reach thousands of dollars.

RECLAMATION OF HIGH PLAINS
Great Work to he Described by the
United states Geographical
survey.

The efforts of the photographic
branch of the United States geological
survey are being directed to the discov-
cry of sufficient water to lead to the re-
clamation and habitation of that area
of the Great Plains lying west of the
prairies and east of the Rocky noun
tains, commonly known as the High
Plains. The section is admirably suit
ed to agriculture and grazing except
for its inadequate water supply, which
is so uncertain that great areas of fer
Tile land lie quite uninhabited. states
the National Geographic Magazine.
This is especially true of the re-
gions lying between the river valleys
which cross il at wide intervals. These
broad interyalley plateaus are practi-
callY waterless, but it has been discOy-
cred that water may be had from I'M
derground sources by wells and wind
mills, and it has been demonstrated
that, while the region may not be large
ly reclaimable by irrigation, it may be
successfully used for grazing by Great
ing stock watering points at compare
lively close intervals 1t will. however,
be difficult, if not impossible. for the
grazers TO raise anything besides fod-
der cane of the drought-resistine varie-
ties, such as katlir corn. Vegetables
and other products will, for the most
part probably have to be grown else
where.
The river valleys, ON the other hand,
seem destined to be extensively cult
waited by irrigation, the water for
which will be pumped from the gTavels
of the river beds, where an underhow
has been known to con ntinue in the sum
mer season after the rivers themselves
have ceased TO run. These areas will
furnish garden produce for the ranches
on the plateau, and in this manner
make the regions as a whole inhabita-
BILE. The details of this Investigation,
with exhaustive studies of the nature
of the underground waters of the High
Plains, appear in the twenty-first and
twentN-second annual reports of the
tinted suites geological survey. the
latter of which is now in press and will
soon be issued,

THE LAKELAND ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.
Victims of the Cruelty OF Attendants
Testify Before Investigating COm-
mittee, Hut some Fear 10 Tell,
Fearing Further Abuse nA tha
Result.

Louisville, KY April f2-As the re-
suit of an Investigation into charges
OF alleged cruelty on the part of the
attendants of the Lakeland insane
asylum, situated about eleven miles
from this city, some disclosures Of a
startling nature have been made A
number of patients have testified be-
fore the Investigating committee that
they have been the victims of acts OF
cruelty, and some OF the witnesses
stated that they feared to tell all
they knew on account Of the fact
that they would suffer at the hands
of the attendants at the close of the
examination.
According to the testimony of sew
eral witnesses, one Of the fayorite
forms of punishment for slight infrac-
tions Of rules on the part Of the pa
tients was beating with a slungshot
formed Of Il sock in which potato
or some other hard vegetable had
been placed.
Some of the patients declared they
had frequently been choked One had
been taken into back room and tied
to chair, an attendant following
with a leather belt, The witness who
told this story did not know what
had occurred in the back room, how
ever. Bruises on the breast and legs
Of one Of the patients were shown as
proof that he had been kicked by the
attendants, and it was developed that
shower baths were also used as a
means of punishment, the patients
being held while cold water was al.
lowed to drip on them. Two attend
ants, after being closely questioned
admitted that they had kicked and
choked patients, but stated that they
had been forced to do 50 in self-de-
Tense, as they had been attacked.
The investigating committee will
continue its labors next week and it
is expected that report will soon be
prepared for the board of commits
sioners of the asylum under whose
supervision the investigation is being
conducted.

Deer Goes TO Mass.

Members Of St. Mary's congreEaS
ton had a most peculiar experience
at high mass, at Natchez, Miss, when
a large, fine doe ran down Union
street into the iron fence about the
cathedral, severely injuring itself. The
doe then ran into the cathedral and
up and down the eisles among the
members of the congregation. II
finally made its way out, running at
high speed, and when two blocks from
the cathedral fell to the ground and
died in few moments. The doe had
been driven from the Louisiana par
ishes by high water, swan the river,
climbed the hill at the river front and
raced through the streets to the ca
thedral.
