DRAINAGE OF WEI LANDS
WILL SOON BE THE FAD

Few people realize how valuable
the topographic maps published by
the United States Geological Survey
may be in furnishing accurate data
on which to base plans for improv-
ing swamps and marshes. On these
sheets a general drainage plan may
be laid down and the feasibility of
the proposition definitely determine
ed without preliminary surveys.
The maps afford an opportunity for
the comprehensive study of each
case without regard TO state or
county boundaries. They not only
show the area which may be i'm
proved, but indicate by contours and
figures of elevation what the extent
of the drainage works should be.
A good illustration of the useful
ness of these atlas sheets is afford
ed by the recently surveyed Lines
vile, Pennsylvania, and Andover,
Ohio, quadrangles, which show
Pymatuning swamp. This covers
an area of about 5000 acres in
Crawford county, Pennsylvania, but
drains through Shenango creek into
Ohio and back again into Pennsly-
vania, and at one time furnished
water for the summit level of the
abandoned Pittsburg and Lake
Erie cansl. This land is at pres
ent nearly worthless, though by
proper drainage it may be rendered
exceedingly fertile. Ashtabula
creek, heading little south of the
village of Pennlin, has a greater
fall than Shenango Creek, the nat
ural outlet, but it is separated from
Pymatuning swamp by ridge about
forty feet in height. Should detail
ed examination of the material Of
which the divide is formed prove
favorable, Ashtabula creek might
be utilized in draining the swamp
lands, and a much larger area thus
be reclaimed.
This is only one of dozens of
similar areas mapped by the Geo
logical Survey in which enough
information has already been coll
1ected to make substantial Begin
ming for studies in drainage. The
really important marsh areas such
as the Dismal swamp, the Florida
Everglades, and the wide reaches
in Minnesota are yet to be mapped,
and until that work is done, nc
comprehensive plans for their drain
age can be perfected.
-. The possibility of improving these
lands is only beginning to interest
people in this country. Abroad
much more attention has beer
given to these questions. In the
United States most efforts in TIL:
: direction are the result of private
enterprise. In only a few case:
have examinations been made b,
county and state authorities. Area:
: to be examined are rarely confined
to single county, and frequentl,

ST. PETERSBURG, June lit is
the sentiment of the lower house of

martial of thirty-slx members of the

the leader, known throughout the whole
Of the Baltic provinces as Napoleon"
to death and twenty to Imprisonment
from three to fifteen years.
A preliminary Interpolation regard
ing the Riga court martial already has
been presented to the lower house of
parliament, as a verdict of guilty was
anticipated, and it was not desired to
give the military officers time to OK
ecute the sentences before the inter
pellation reached them through the
regular channels. as happened at a
previous execution of eight persons at
Riga.
AT Bielostok Chief of Police Der
katchoff. against whose life several at
tempts had been made, was shot and
kill I'd by several unknown persons

one of them being wounded.
AT Warsaw six persons were killed

BOOM IN JERSEY.
Workings Are Being ReOpened in
Morris COunty--New Shafts.

YOUNGSTOWN, June 11.-An
iron boom has struck Morris coun-
ty, and, judging from present indlca-
lions that section of New Jersey may
500 produce iron proitably. Many
years ago there were several mines in
Morris county, but they shut down
about the time of the civil war and
seem to have been forgotten since
then. At Millbrook, the old Cooper
mine has been reopened lately and a
fine vein of ore five feet thick is being
mined.
The old Dickinson shaft on Mine
Hill is being worked, a new shaft
having been sunk to a depth of 200
feet through a twelve foot vein of
ore and the product is now being
shipped. This mine was started in
Revolutionary times. At Mt. Hope
a nine foot vein has been found. Jo-
seph Wharton has a shaft down 200.
feet at Teabo, and expects to strike
the real ore a few feet further down.
At Mt. Olive mining is being con-
Quoted on a small scale. In parts of
Randolph township, near Splitrock
pond, on the line between Charlottes-
burg and Sparta, in the vicinity of

CURE WHITE PLAGUE.
Or. Pearson Hopes to Relieve Hum
an Beings of Consumption.

PHILADELPHIA. June lit is Of
icially announced through the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania that an in
fallible method for the prevention of
tuberculosis in cattle has been dlscov-
cred and that back of this there is
cause for belief that human beings can
be made immune.
To a Philadelphia, DR.. Leonard
Pearson, dean of the veterinary de-
partment of the University of Penn
~sylvania, assistant director of the Hen
ry Phipps Institute For the Study,
Prevention and Treatment of Tubercu-
losis and head of the veterinary bu-
longs the honor Of this tremendous
discovery. 1t means, he says, work of
far greater Importance. The expert
ments made with cattle have forced
the conclusion that men, women and
children can be made immune and
that tuberculosis can be arrested even
when persons are almost in the final
stage of the disease.
The Pearson cure Is a new system of
vaccination. The several tests made
have been successful In every case.
The chain of experiments started with
the living tubercle in man, was extend
ed to cattle, is now being applied to
monkeys and Is about to be carried
back to the starting p~oint-man. 1t Is
a work asserted to be more freighted
with promise of life, wealth and hap
piness to the human race than any dis
covery of recent years.
