The Black Hole of Calcutta.


A scientist, writing Of the black hole
OF Calcutta and it's atmosphere, says:
ION the Goth of June. 1856, about 3
O'Clock in the evening. TAG men were
forced at the point of the bayOnet in
to a dungeon eighteen feet square.
They had been but a few minutes con-
fined In this Internal prison before
every n fell into a ~perspiration so
prOfuse that no idea can be formed of
It. This brought on a raging thirst,
the most difficult respiration and an
outrageous delirium. Such was the
horror of their situation that every in
suit that could be devised against the
guard without and all the opprObrious
names the vicerOy and his officers
could be loaded with were repeated to
provoke the guard TO fire upon them
and terminate their sufferings. Before
II o'clock the same evening one-third
Of the men were dead, and before 6
next morning only twenty-three came
out alive, but most Of them in a high
putrid fever. All these dreadful effects
were occasioned by the want of atmos-
pheric air and by their breathing a su-
perabundant quantity of nitrogen emit

MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION,
Vast Sum Will Be Expended In Many
Western States.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-In 1908
more than 800, DOC, 900 will be expended
by the federal government in conplet-
ing the vast irrigation projects which
have been inaugurated in the west and
southwest. This project will operate
to stitfen credits and the
people everywhere. so it is believed
by the officers of the reclaim alton
service. On January l, 1908, $780,.
900 additional funds bee ONE available
for these uses, and every dollar of it
will be expended in the irrigation
works.
BY states, the sums to be expended
are: Oregon, g. 9 900: Washington,
81. zoe. 1000; Idaho, $500. 900; Wyom-
ing, %, TO. 200; California, $3.50, 900;
Montana, s3,110,O0O. and sums in
other states bringing the total up
to s39, 200, 600.
The irrigation law compels the
secretary of the interior Sin Carrying
out the provisions of this act, so far
as the same may be practicable and
subject to the existence of feasible
irrig cation projects, to expend the
major portion of the funds arising
from the sale of public lands within
each state and territory for the benefit
of the arid and semi arid lands with
in the limits of such state or territory;
provided, that the secretary may tenn
porarily use such portions of said
funds for the benefit of arid or semi
arid lands in any particular state or
territory h~ereinbefore named, as he
may deem advisable, but when so
used, the excess shall be restored to
the fund as soon as practicable, to
the end that ultimately, and in any
event within each 10.year period after
the passage of this act, the e~xpendi.
lures for the benefit of said state or
territories shall be equalized according
to the proportions and subject to the
conditions as to practicability and
feasibility aforesaid
This law was approved June Il. 1902,
hence, in less than five years the in
terror department must, under the law,
arrange to expend in each state Or ter
ritory the major portion-which has
been interpreted to mean at least 81
per cent-of the sums which shall
have been collected in that state or
territory from sale of public land.

Washington May Be Dry.

WASHINGTON, November 26.-''Eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow

p~roverbial BONE This is the wall
that is going up from the convivial

are not in the minority-as the time

There is now little doubt that a de-
termined attempt, which promises to
be successful, will be made at the next
congress to secure the passage Of a
law prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors within the
District of Columbia. The anti-sa-
loon workers are already gathering
in Washington for the fray, and de-
clare they will WELD sufficient politi-
cal influence to force congress to act
favorably upon their little bill.
Speaker Cannon alone prevented
the reporting OF such a measure last
winter, and even the heroic Uncle Joe,
it is alleged, will be unable to stand
before the water wagon iuggernau
at this session. The anti-s aloon PEG

North, director of the census, in his
annual report, made public today,
recommended that congress pass a
law authorizing and providing money
for the 18th census, which will have to

that he should be allowed at least two
years in which to make preparations

STICK TO THE FARM.

An instructive comparison is made
by the Ravalli Republican, in dis.
cnssing the disposition to abandon
the ranch for city life. In describing
the stu alton that frequently results
from this change, it says few specta-
cles are more pitiable than that Of a
prosperous Bitter Root farmer who
has sold his broad acres and has his
cash value in his hand. Daily newspa.
per items telling of such trans actions
are tragedies in three lines.
Tragedy:
John Smith yesterds y sold his 300
acre farm to jim Jones. He received
$685. 900 in cash.
Everybody says, "Lucky John! Got
q good price, In the next breath
they say: "Wonder what John will
do now" Yesterday he had q farm;
today he has q fist full Of money.
Yesterday he was a farmer; today he
is nothing if not a financier. He sus-
poets be is not the latter. Yesterday
he was q free.land-owner, with never
q thought of q burglar or speculation
to ruttle his serenity. Today burglars
and banks are Scylla and Charybdis,
and he is between them.
John knew what to do with his farm.
He had accumulated it acre by acre
with pride in it's thrifty expanse.
Panics might come and go, prices
rise and fall-there was always the
certainty of q living. There was d.
version in planning the years crops,
earnest struggle to stimulate their
growth, exultation in the honest and

apple, the yellow grain and the fat
tened stock had been sent to market.
Johns farm was more than a bust.
ness: it was a home. Never till now
did he realize how much of life it was
to him.
John has traded his farm for a cash
fortune which he does not know what
to do with. His view of his fellow
men has degenerated. On his farm he
thought all men were honest. AT least
they looked honest to him. Now they
are all a sordid pack of thieves trying
to get that 1925, 900. When John used
to 60 to the bank to negotiate small
loans for sundry little farm needs, the
cashier was a halo of integrity. Since
John sold his farm he has discovered
that the cashier is a bank wrecker in
disguise.
John and his family moved 70 town
and John "retires," just to crafty the
hankerings of the boys for dude
clothes, Gig arettes and billiards, and
so tina the girls may wear fine dresses,
play the piano, go to dances and give
parties. If it were left to John he
would be different, but John is not al

Sometimes, however, John tC

actly that way, but he realizes hal
comedy is better than a tragedy an,
day. He takes his handful Of money

PERMITION TO BUILD.
GIVEN BRIDGE COMPANY BY THE
WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT.
Attorney Aler Gets Permission For
His Company to Connect the Two
Counties.

The county commissioners of Wash
ington county, Md, on Tuesday passed
an order formally granting permission
to the Washington and Berkeley
Bridge company to erect a toll bridge
across the Potomac river at Williams
port. The bridge will be for general
'aaic purposes, and also for a steam
railroad and trolley line, subject to
the Public General laws of Maryland.
F. Vernon Aler, OF Martinsburg, who
is attorney for the company, appeared
before the commissioners and mao e
the application. So far as the county
commissioners have been able to learn
there is no opposition to the building
of the bridge, but on the contrary
most people are heartily in favor of
the project. Mr.. Aler has associated
with him Alex. r. Hagner, of Hagers-
town, to represent the company's In
terests in that county.
