DRYING OUT ZUYDER ZEE.
Iollnnders Are Constantly at work
Reclaiming Land from
the sen.

The Chicago drainage canal Is a mere
plaything compared with the engineer
ing feat of draining HARLEM lake 10
Holland. says a writer In the New York
Tribune The Dutch built a dixie around
a piece Of the sea and then pumped the
lake they had made entirely dry. This
was SO successful that other portions of
the STA have been reclaimed in the same
way. Now the Netherlanders have
set ont to dry up a sea. the Zuyder Zee.
and reclaim about 600 square miles
The cost Of this undertaking Is esti-
mated TO be s4l 100000 or $4,000. 900
more than the cost OF the New York
subway. The Dutch government. how
ever, expects TO get It's money back. as
Il will have $4,000 acres OF land, from
which 1t expects to get a rental Of
S4.5OO.OOO a year.
One might think that such a marshy
tract Of land. even after It had been re-
claimed and drained. would be malarlal
Not so. The draining Of the land will
be done a little at a time, so as TO
shorten the marshy stage as much as
possible Coast land. even IL low,
when past the marshy stage. Is espe-
cially healthful. Furthermore. the
people Of that country are used 10 low
land. At any rate. they succeeded In

HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS.
Campaign for IA Principle,
Not for Details.

One great reason for the prevalence OF
bad roads throughout the United States
is lack OF agreement and united action
among the advocates Of improvement
Everybody prefers goods roads to bad
Everybody knows that the roads can be-
improved only by the expenditure Of
money and labor. But here the agree
ment ends. There is a great variety OF
ideas and schemes for securing the de-
sired object There is no end OF discus
sion, but very little Is accomplished
Some people would rather travel
through mud than to have the roads I'm
proved by any other plan than their own
pet scheme" Thus road refOrmers
themselves sometimes actually hinder
the cause TO which they are devoted.
II the roads OF the country are TO be
made good within the lifetime OF the
present generation. It Is high time the
advocates OF good roads should unite in
support Of a few general propositions.
and go TO work in favor Of a general
plan. II a national good roads movement
ever gets started. nothing can stopit II
will sweep everything before IT, But the
difficulty IS to get It started
One great advantage possessed by the
national aid plan. which Is now becOm-
ing so popular. is that II is general I'm
stead Of sectional or local II is as broad
as the whole country. II can bring into
harmonious united action the friends Of
good roads In every state. and II is the
only plan yet proposed that can do this.
The friends OF national aid will make
a mistake II they undertake TO work ont
details in advance. They will disagree
among themselves and give objections
every advantage They should 90 to
work for the general principle and leave
details to be worked out later This
was the plan Of action adopted by Glad
stone. When HIS opponents asked for
details Of any great reform which he
advocated. Gladstone would answer:
There will be time enough to work out
the details when we get the power" The
advocates OF national aid will do well
10 emulate the example Of this great
English statesman They should or
ganize everywhere and fight for the prin-
ciple. leaving details to be worked out I'm
due time

GREEN TURTLES OF FLORIDA.
They Float I'm Balls of
Grass.

The green turtles OF southern Flor
ida live in deep water and feed on sea
plants, mostly the kind called turtle
grass" which they cut of near the
roots. eating the lower parts and leav-
ing the tops floating so that it collects
in great fields and marks the spots
where the animals are to be hunted
for by the fishermen. After browsing
in such ocean pastures the green tur-
ties go to the mouths Of rivers for
baths OF fresh water. which they seem
to need from time to time The Flor
ida fishermen say the reptiles enter
the creeks and roll together in masses
OF grass. cementing them into balls
with clay. When the turn OF the tide
takes the balls out to sea they follow
them The fishermen watch for such
balls floating down the creeks. and
when they see them they stretch nets
across the mouths of the streams and
always catch the turtles.

The Boy and the Farm.

Teachers and farmers teach the boys
and girls to be honest and upright in
every sense. but by all means teach
them to work. II won't hurt them to
do little farm work. Send them to
college II you can. but let's keep all
the college boys and girls on the farm
that we can. and then the farmers in
terest will be looked after better. We
will have better schools. better
churches and better society. Insist on
trying TO keep the boys on the farm
after they have received their educa-
ton. They can keep the farm books
and will lend an air OF intelligence to
the town. We need more educated peo-
pie on the farms. when we will have
less boys and girls going to the cities
from the FARMS. o. Gates, in Farm

Officers of Cavalry Charged
 With Padding PayroIs
GEN. CHASE NOT REMOVED
Governor Peabody Has Ordered a courtmartiaI, However, and the Various Allegations Must Be
 Probed to the Bottom.

Denver, Colo, October 6.-In connection with rumors that scandal of wide reaching character had developed in the management of the Cripple Creek cam paign of the Colorado national guard, Governor Peabody today gave out the following statement:
 Charges and specifications against cer- tain men and officers in the Colorado nat ional guard have been filed with me, which will be immediately inquired into. They are charges of the most serious nature and I shall order court martial. The charges filed with me will be probed to the bottom and any one found guilty. no matter who he is, will not be permit ted to escape punishment
 General Chase has not been removed. but he will remain in Denver for the present.
 "The court martial that has been or dered will convene in Denver as soon as 1t can conveniently do so."
 The governor declined to give the names of any of those against whom charges have been made but 1t Is understood that Adjutant General Bell. Col. Frederick Cross Paymaster General Kimbal1 As olSldll dS HldSieI NeiltIdl w lllldIS, Nreu- eral Chase's adjutant and perhaps others have been ordered to Denver at once, but whether to stand trial or attend as witnesses, Is not known.
 Among the charges to be investigated are said to be:
 Padded pay rolls, the employment of superfious generals and coOaeis, who draw the salary of their rank but who performed sergeant's dutes general ex- travagance in the purchase of supplies for l the commssary department, the charge that certain officers have been securing 'rake.ofG from cor ractors, th1 s- suance bY wnllasaIe c transportation be- 1 tween Cripple Creek and Denver to of ficers and enlisted men, the'r families and friends, and charging the same to the state; the charge that the bookkeeping of the camp Is kept in such a way as to ad- init of grafting; the surreptitious raising of men with 8 pull" from non-eommis- stoned officers to captains. majors and colonels, the erection of quarters for each colonel, thus involving the state in heavy but practically needless expense; the purchase of spoiled beef for the en- listed men at exorbitant prices, and care lessness in the handling of finance, that is said to be appalling.
 The charges are said to have been filed by General Chase against subordinate of ficers. Charges of exceeding his authority and disregarding the direct orders of the commander-in-chief, Governor Peabody. are said to lie against the commanding general himself
