People who Eat Clay.

Clay eaters are found in the West
Indies, Honduras and some Of the re-
gions round the Orinoco. They are not
necessarily Of any particular tribe, for
even whites have fallen victims to this
degrading and fatal habit. The habit
is contracted at as early an age as Il
years, and the craving once acquired
appears to be irresistible. Confirmed
clay eaters will lie down and lick the
earth where the edible clay is found.
They suffer from chronic dyspepsia
and emaciation; but, in spite of the
pain and weakness, they cannot dc
without the clay any more than the con,
firmed drunkard can do without his nj.
cohol. In some localities this clay Is
whitish gray, sometimes yellowish
pink. There appears to be lime in 1t
and also the remains of minute organ
isms. 1t is sometimes eaten baked and
sometimes raw.
A confirmed clay eater will take four
five, or even six pounds day. Water Is
drunk with it. At length the habit
seems to give an aversion not only tc
other kinds of food. but also to alec
holic drinks. AS soon as this stage Is
reached the eating Of clay Invariably
causes death.

Conquest . d: Great
American Desert



American irrigation was old when
Rome was In the glory of It's youth"
says @. ]. Blanchard in ''The National
Geographic Magazine" THE ancient
aqueducts and subterranean canals Of
South America, extending for thou
sands Of miles, once supplied great
cities and irrigated immense areas.
Centuries before the venturous Morse
men landed upon the bleak and inhos-
pitable shores of New England large
population dwelt In the hot valleys of
the far southwest From the solid
rock, with primitive tools of stone, they
cut bitches and hewed the blocks for
many chambered palaces, which they
erected In the desert or on the lime
stone lodges Of deep river canyons.
These voiceless ruins, older than the
memory of many centuries, tell the
story Of thrifty, home loving and
semi-cultured people, concerning whose
fate history brings us no word. In
these palaces and in many miles of
canals we may almost read the story
of another Egypt-a people toiling I'M
der the burning sun of the desert,
YEARLY and patiently executing the
commands Of an American Pharaoh"
IN the last quarter of century a
crop, producing area Of 100000 acres,
equal in size to the State of Massachu-
sets, has been wreSted from the desert.
Irrigation canals long enough to span
the earth twice and representing an
outlay Of $90,000,0O0 have been built.
Every year this area returns harvest
valued at nearly twice the cost of the
irrigation canals. The United States
is to-day the largest owner of the great
American desert-no doubt as Mr..
Blanchard explains, because it was not
considered worth stealing. For many
years the sentiment has been growing
that the government should make this
vast empire habitable and this senti-
ment crystallized into the reclamation
law, signed by President Roosevelt on
June II, 1902.
The first of the great irrigation
works to be undertaken by the govern
ment is in Nevada. In the bed Of an
cient Lake Lahontan and embracing
what was long known as Forty Mile
desert, the most desolate and arid spot
on this continent except Death Valley,
the engineers completed the plans for
an extensive irrigation work involv-
ing some rather novel engineering fea-
lures, the greatest and most important
Of which is that of lifting the waters
of the Truckee River into the great
canal, which will carry them over into
the Carson River reservoir, whence
they are diverted into laterals and car
ried out upon the desert. When CON-
pleted the Truckee-Carson works will
cost more than 100000 and render
productive more than 100000 acres now
absolutely worthless, but which, when
irrigated, will sell readily for $30,00O,-
600, 1t Is estimated.

snake on the Gas Meter.

Arch Davenport, a Fort Scott joker,
turned a large snake loose In his cellar
under his house. The gas meter was
also In the cellar, and for six months
his snakeship forced the gas company
to give Davenport a fiat rate on his gas
bill. The young man who reads the
meter never got nearer to it than the
door. Last week the snake was found
dead and the reading Of the meter
showed that Davenport had paid fol
only half the gas he had used. He was
compelled to put up the balance due

woman the week previous to the disap-
