surface of the plain for the water they
so often needed. In 1871 a we'll 100
feet deep was dug in the middle OF
the plain by a rancher named John
Martin, and cool, soft water was
obtained in great quantity, so that
his ranch BECAME the resting place OF
every traveller crossing the desert.
Since then, many wells have been
sunk in every part OF the region,
They rarely go down more than so ia
20 feet, and the water is raised chiefly
by windmills. Practically nothing has
been done, however to develop water
supplies by means of deep wells
though the conditions appear favor
able for abundant water from this
source.

waters of the Jornada, Prof. Keyes de.

The waters of the arid region are
so generally spoken of as "alkaIl

THE FAMOUS FEMALE FRENZIED
FINANcIER AND THE LIFE SHE
WILL LEAD IN THE OHIO BIAS.
TlLE-sHE HAS A NICE CELL.
SHE WILL MAKE SHIRTS AND
UNDERWEAR.

Columbus, o., Dec. 16.-When Mrs.
Cassie Chadwick reaches the peniten-
tiary she will be greeted with scenes
familiar to Madame Lydia Devere,"
the Toledo fortune teller, and She
will live over again the prison life of
that hypnotic-powered prisoner.
There will be no strangeness to the
scenes, for they are unchanged since
Cassie Chadwick, the most famous
woman ~frenzied f~inancier Of the age.
was Lydia DeVere, and did time for
fflching money out Of a Toledo man
in connection with the ~parentage of a
child.
Nor will there be any change in the
mode OF prison life from that which
obtained when she was here as Mad.
anne DeVere. It's the same old work
OOm and the same old work of max.
ing underwear and shirts for the male
prisoners. Cassie will return TO the
needle which she piled when she was
in as Lydia.
The female department of the pris
on is located in the southeast corner
of the institution grounds, surrounded
by a 30-toot wall. and I'm this way
completely shut off from the male
portion of the building, which II
abuts. The building occupied by the
female department extends lengthwise
east and west, is Two stories and an
attic tall, and of stone.
In this building the woman prison,
ers work, eat and sleep. The lower
floor is occupied In front by the mat
rOns and back OF their quarters is the
kitchen and laundry. On the second
floor the workroom is located, and on

the women are locked at night.
So the life of Cassie will be a see

breathing spells granted for health'i
sake. during which the women are
exercised in the open yard within the

The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined, but there has been much talk among the crew as to the weakened and leaky condi- ton of the boiler. At the time of the explosion steam was up and the vessel was in readiness to sail for Port Hartford where she was to meet and convoy the monitor Wyo- ming to the Mare Island navy yard.

People ashore saw huge cloud of white steam rise. followed by an immense column of water which rose in the air to twice the height of the Bennington's spars.

LoNooNs FAMOUS DISHES.
Inns That Serve Eel Pies, Turtle Soup
and Other Delioaeies-Results
Of Accidents.

Though various New York res-
taurants are famous for certain
dishes, it is the result of accident
rather than design that one arti-
Gle on the menu should be preem-
inently successful. The day is past
when this one dish could make the
reputation of the place.
But this is not so in London,
though there are not as many inns
as formerly which have become
famous through the success of one
dish. Formerly every London inn
with any pretensiOn at all had its
own special dish, upon whose ex-
cellence it prided itself and to par
take of which patrons travelled
many miles, says the New York
Herald.
Eel pies we're once the greatfea-
lures of the duellist's breakfast
served at the old Sluice house,
near insburypark. The necessary
quantity of fish was regularly
dredged up from the stream which
IAN under the windows. The pies
are still to be had, but the cells are
obtained from a nearby fish mar
ket.
Simpsons in the Strand is noted
for its fish dinners. The place was
once very popular, and even to-day
there is a certain following who
swear by this repast.
The Ship and Turtle, in Leaden-
hall street, is noted for three
things-the turtle soup, the tur-
bot and the Madeira. The first
named is prepared after an old
recipe which has been in posses
sion of the hosts of the house for
over a century.
Another inn boasts of saddle of
SOuthdOwn mutton. This is
wheeled up to the table on a NOV.
able arrangement, in order that
each individualmay select the par.
dcular cut to which he is partial
The mutton is kept warm by means
of water heated by a lamp.
