RACE FEELING RUNS HIGH
Suburbs of Muncie Are Waging War On
Negroes Because of Recent Grim
inaI Acts.

Muncie, Ind, June 2S.-Race feel
ing is running high at Riverside and
Normal City, two Muncie suburbs,
where negroes have been frightening
women, and where two homes have
been entered by colored men after
nightfall lately. No strange negroes
are allowed in the suburbs after
nightfall. Edward White, who was or
dered from Riverside, appealed to the
police.
Practically every male resident Of
the suburb has armed himself, and
the edict has gone out that unknown
negroes who are found on the streets
after nightfall are liable to be severely
dealt with. All negroes of Normal City
were ordered to leave several months
ago, after an attack had been made
upon white woman by negro,
who was run down by a mob and who
was finally sent to the penitentiary.

that hundreds of bad men are deport-

that will be their business. No man
who want to work will be molested

" ater Turned Into Conduit Catches Them
Like Rats in a Trap-Mad Strug-
gle to ESCAPE.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 2S.-Thirty-
three persons were killed by an acct
dent which took place near Spanish
Town, ten miles west of Kingston, in
the main conduit of the West India
Electric company, which operates the
street cars from Kingston. Nearly 100
laborers had been detailed to remove
sand from the great pipe, which is a
mile long, and which conveys water
from the intake on the Rio CObre to
the turbines of the power house.
The work had practically been COM
pleted when orders were given to al
low small quantity of water to en-
ter the conduit. Through misappre-
hension, accident or carelessness, the
full force Of water was turned ON and
mad struggle to escape by means of
the manholes ensued with the result
that thirty-three persons were killed.

An Apt Text.

At Vassar the other day a visiting
clergyman was asked to preach to the
young lady students and the sugges-
ton was dropped that it would be
better for him to take a text which
he would use before general con-
gregation, instead Of selecting one
which he thought especially apple
able to the gentler sex, who constitut-
ed his hearers on that day. There
was many a smile at the time, and
many since, when the text taken by
him is considered, it being Follow
me and I will make you fishers Of
men," The students wondered if
there was some special reason for the
clergyman's choice of Scripture.

The Influence of Its Mechanical
Condition on Drainage.
BY C. G. ELLIOTT, Office of Experiment

Soil is made up of exceedingly fine

rocks of different composition which
are disintegrated by the weather.
ground up and distributed by glacial
action and floods and mixed with the
products of successive ages of vege-
table growth. These particles as they
appear under the microscope are rough
and irregular, some of them being ex-
ceedingly small. They range from
coarse sand .OO4 Of an inch to clay

according as the soil grains are more
or less minute. The fine grains pres
ent more surface in a given volume of
soil and hence will retain the greater
quantity of moisture. The coarser soils
will permit much freer percolation
of water, and hence quicker drainage,
than the finer ones.
Another mechanical condition Of soils
has more to do with their drainage
properties than the differences already
noted. It is the massing of particles Of
different character to form compound
soil grains which lie contiguous and
have spaces between them. Those who
have examined the physical structure
of soils minutely will have observed
the granular structure of soils con-
tanning a mixture of humus and clay.
Some subsoils are commonly known as
.joint clays" from the fact that they
show natural cleavage or fractures
which mark them as soils easily drain
ed. Others of marty, sandy or gray
ely nature mass their particles into ir-
regular forms which cannot lie close
together and are known as light sub
soils. Still other clays appear to be
wanting in the characteristics named,
their individual particles lying COM
pactly together and forming dense
mass capable Of retaining larger per-
centage of water than any other varie-
ty, and are commonly known as reten-
tive or impervious Soils Some of these
mechanical characteristics are Illus
trated in Figs. /, 2 and 3.
