REBUFF WAS CUTTING ONE.

Fitting Retort of "Mad Poet'' to an
UngentIemanly Remark.
Many stories are told of Mcdonald
Clarke, known fifty years ago in New
York as the mad poet" which show
that he had a vein of great shrewd-
ness, such as is often possessed by
people who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at a table
in a New York hotel quietly eating
his simple dinner when two young
men took their seats at the same table.
Mcdonald Clarke was a well-known
figure, and the young men at once
recognized him, though he did not
know them.
They were not gentlemen In the best
sense of the word. and it occurred
to them that they might have some
sport with the poor poet. Conse-
quently one Of them said in an I'M
necessarily clear tone:
"I have seen almost everything and
everybody in New York except Nc
Donald Clarke. 1 have a great ad
vibrations for his poems, and 1 would
give a great deal to see the man."
When he passed the mad poe
leaned forward and said with eviden
qualification:
"Sir, 1 am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see.'
The young man stared at him Will
much rudeness for a moment, anC
then drawing a quarter from hi
pocket, he laid it on the poets plate
saying, That's for the sight!'
Clarke looked at the coin for an in
slant, and then placing it in his peck ct
he took out a york shilling" 121

WATER IN DESERT CACTUS.
Natives Are Accustomed to Tap Plant
When They Are Thirsty.


The marvellous strength of desert
plants is well known, but we are at
a loss to explain the source or rea-
sons of their luxuriance in regions
where only a few inches of water fall
during the year, and that little is i'm
mediately drunk up by the torrid sun.
What enables the yucca to thrust its
head through thirty feet of gypsum
and sand or the barrel cactus to store
enormous quantities of water and to
hold the water for months, perhaps
years, or the sumach to cling so ten
aciously to its ground when every
thing else is swept away, are ques-
tons which none can satisfactorily an
swer. No less marvellous and mex
plicable is the mesquite shrub, which
sometimes has roots over fifty feet
long, and other desert plants whose
hairy coverings and resinous coatings
prevent the evapora ton Of moisture.
These secrets may soon be discovered,
however, as the Carnegie institution
has established a desert botanical lab
oratory at Tucson to study them.
1t was among the desert hills west
of Torres, Mex. The Indian cut the
top from plant about five feet high
and with a blunt stake of palo verde
pounded to a pulp the upper six or
eight inches of white flesh in the
standing trunk. From this, handful
by handful, he squeezed the water into
the bowl he had made in the top of
the trunk, throwing the discarded pulp
on the ground. By this process he
secured two or three quarts of clear
water. slightly salty and slightly bitter
to the taste, but of far better quality
than some of the water a desert trav-
eler is occasionally compelled to use.
The Papago, dipping this water up in
his hands, drank it with evident pleas
ure and said that his people were ac-
customed, not only to secure their
drinking water in this way in times
of extreme drouth, but that they used
it also to mix their meal preparatory
to cooking 1t into bread.-National
Geographical Magazine.

Would Float a Big Fleet.

According to a report of the geo.
logical survey of the United States
government, now nearly ready for
publication, petroleum was first dis
covered by Colonel Drake less than
near Tftusville. Men in those days
had no notion that petroleum was
among the necessities of existence
tallow dip or a wax candle illumin-
ated sufficiently the nights activities,
and q blazing log wood fire left no
room for desire for another kind of
heater. Petroleum might have been
counted a superiuity, but instead it
sprang into immediate favor, and now
it's list of popular byproducts grows
longer every year.
The total production of crude petrol
cum from 1859 to the end of 1902 has
been no less than 1,165, $50, 727 barrels.
That means that If two and one-half
feet were allowed for the height of a
barrel, and if these barrels filed with
all the domestic oil that has been pro-
duced were laid so that their heads
touched they would encircle the earth
two and one-quarter times.
OF this total Pennsylvania and New
York produced $50 per cent; Ohio, 24.3
per cent; West Virginia, lib per cent;
Indiana, 80 per cent; California, 80
per cent; Texas, 81 per cent leaving

taxes by giving him board, and
when there was no vacancy in
the few houses, he took a small

piled him with food. One day a
young boy came running breath
lessly toward him.

Indeed, I do like pork" the
teacher replied, concluding that
the stingy father had determined
to donate some pork to him.
"You tell your father if there is
anything in the world I do like
it is pork.
Some time transpired, and
there was no pork forthcoming.
One day he met the boy alone in
