DESOLAIION IN
FLOODS TRACK
Total Damage Is Estimated at
Sc, 5OO,0 O0-Waters Are
Rapidly subsiding.

. I 80 & & . 4 y afsg L r ~ s
Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 10.-The
ISusquehanna has fallen nearly four
feet during the last twenty-four hours.
Many of the streets here are clear
Of water and people are returning
home. There is no indication, how
broken.
At plymouth and Nanticoke the sit
uation is much better. Reports from
Bloomsbury say the flood is receding
at the rate of four inches an hour.
There is no change in the gorge at
Nanticoke.
Communication was established
with 18th bloomsbury at noon. News from
there Is reassuring. During the morn
ing the waters subsidized about three
feet. A few Of the families who were
driven out by the high water have
returned to their homes.
The banks Of both sides Of the river
from Shickshinny to Sunbury, a dis
lance Of fifty miles, present a scene of
desolation. Wrecked bridges, out
buildings. telegraph poles. etc, are
streWn everywhere. Isl
Mines that were flooded are being
pumped out and some of them may be
able to resume work tomorrow.
Railroads along the river are badly
damaged and it will be several days
before traffic can be resumed.
Of damage in the Wyoming region run
from $1,000,0O0 to $2,5O0,000. The
total damage in all towns between
Pittston and Sunbury is estimated at
500, 900.
The river is now open from Roaring
Creek to Sunbury. But: The big ice
jam between Roaring Creek and Mes
copeck. tWenty-four miles long, is APP
parently as solid as ever. The situa-
tion,s however, is not dangerous unless
there should be another rise in the

rHr LAW OF Rrvnnsaur.

If one could take six distinct and DIE.
ferent breeds Of fowls-for instance.l
White Brahma, Leghorn, Houdan,
Langshan, Plymouth Rock and Wyan1
dotte-and let the breeds mix, hit and
go miss, for six years. what sort of
breed of fowls would one have at the
end of that period? Well, for one
thing, the law of reversion would bel
very nicely illustrated. The distinctive
features Of each of these breeds would
disappear. The ultimate product would
be just common scrub stock, with the
chance that the Leghorn type would .sufl
fer the least in the metamorphosi as
that breed more closely follows the orig
inal type Of jungle fowl from which oil
our poultry originally came. This same
process Of deterioration and reversion
to original types operates just as pow
erfully with stock Of the improved
breeds as it does with poultry, and ii
explains why when man starts out
to cross Jerseys with Holsteins, Short
horns with Polled Angus and all this
sort of cross breeding he soon finds
himself breeder Of simple and orig
inal scrubs. The improved breeds OF
poultry and stock are, we might say,
purely artificial productions, the results
Of careful selection by man, and need
to be continually REINFORCED and FORTH
fed by additions of blood from animals
excelling in the particular quality for
which the breed may be noted. Now
you can see why the grade sire will
always run herd of stock or flock
of poultry down and how important i'd
is to select only the purest bred sires
if a herd Of cattle or flock Of poultry
is to be improved in quality or even
maintained in excellence. !.

The primary sources Of a nations
wealth are it's natural fesources-the
timber OF its forests, the fish of it's
seas, lakes and rivers, the minerals
buried in its hills, the elements of fer
tility locked up in its SOIL Just as
man develops these natural resources
he creates wealth. The stick of tim
Der, the can of salmon, the ton of coal
and the buslcl of corn, as produced by
man, are each original and created
wealth. The man who buys and sells
the timber, the fish, the coal and the
corn creates no wealth, but he who
fashions the timber into a house or
burns the coal to drive the engine of
some factory or produces from the
corn variety Of other products is a
wealth producer. Only as a man by
his labor gives an added value to sono
natural product can he be termed a
wealth producer.

SOME Exploded rHEoR1rs.

The drainage Of ponds, lakes ana
marshes has nothing to do with the;
rainfall of country. While such!
drainage will dry the earth, it will not
dry up the heavens. Neither will the
cultivation Of the surface Of a dryii
country do anything toward promote
ing greater rainfall. Both Of these
scientific fallacies We're believed In bH
many few years ago. Drainage will
greatly facilitate the release Of any
excess Of rainfall which the earth
cannot absorb and so tends to increases
the volume Of our floods and freshets,l
while the cultivation of sparsely wal
tered areas will tend to conserve SUCH
rainfall as the country may have. NeiJ
Their will the mechanical Disturbance
of the air above the earth by explo-
sions produce rain unless the clouds
are saturated with moisture, which
would fall anyway, yet many believed
rain could be thus produced not very|
long since. Experience knocks the
stufing out of lots of humbugs-scie
tiic, political and religious.

By some subtle process of moral rea-

farm tenants who think it perfectly
legitimate to steal all they can from the
man whose farm they work. 1t is this
evil which makes the farm owner look

system. Thrasher men could tell some
funny stories, If they would, about the
