killing White was perfectly justifiable.
/ would, however, just like to see
the shape of his back head under his
loose hair.
Harry Thaw is tall and slender
stopped. His head, even with long
hair, is curiously shaped. 1t is very
high at the peak of the crown, where
there is a 'cowlick" that makes it
hard to brush it down.
His head drops rapidly to the top
of the forehead, where the hair is
plastered to his short, blunt brow.
The forehead shows lack of use other
than to plaster hair against. It's the
forehead and face of an idler.
Thaw's eyes, naturally big, have a
wild, excited look. The most express
sion comes from the whites on the
outer side, and to offset that glare
there is a blank hollowness between
the eye and the nose on the inside.
His nose is a meaningless affair,
straight and square cornered, with
the under edge beveled. The lips sug
gest the cigarette smoker and his
chin looks weak enough to cry east
ly.
1t is the cheek bones that are Harry
Thaws most striking features and
add a wild, weak expression to his
face. They are SO high and sharp
that they suggest those of an Indian.
Peculiar in this respect they are I'M
like those of his brother or sisters.

Curious Method of Mining.

Curious Method OF Mining.
The increasing depth to which it is
necessary to go in following the vein
of kaolin. or potter's clay. mined near
the Housato river in Connecticut
recently caused the Introduction Of a
novel method of mining. Wells from
SO to nearly eco feet in depth are
driven. and two pines, the outer four
inches and thc t4aer two inches in di
ameter. are introduced. Water at a
pressure of forty pounds per square
inch is forced down through the small
er pipe and rises through the larger
one. bringing with it about 5 per cent
of solid matter. of which IS per cent is
pure kaolin.

Pecan. In Rio Grande Delta.

Pecan groves are to become feature
Of the development of the Rio Grande
river country in Texas. Several large
orchards have already been planted,
and this season several thousand more
acres will be put out. The delta of the
Rio Grandc is said to be the ideal sec
ton for the production of pecans. The
trees can be made TO bear in three
years after planting. but the general
period there is six or seven years. On
the Mexican side Of the river pecans
have been grown for many years in the
little sections that were irrigated. This
first attracted attention on the Amer
lean side. The demand for pecans is
always in excess of the supply. and
pecan orcharding is certain to be prof
liable in the south.-St. Louis Repub-

In the house the bill by Mr.. Klech-
ner, of Cass county, to make unlaw-
fui railroad relief associations which
require the signing by employees of
waivers of their rights to damages,
was discussed by representatives who
are accustomed to speak for laboring
mems interests, including Messrs
Klechner, Freuchtenicht, Joyce, King
and Hay.
All declared that this practice in
vogue on the Pennsylvania and Wab-
ash systems, works hardships on en-
ployes. All are required to join the
association, and they supply the
funds, they said, but under rules
drawn up by the company attorneys
they find themselves deprived of dam
ages, oftentimes by this unfair waiv-
er.
There was no opposition to the bill
and the house murmured it's approval
before the last speaker finished. The
vote was So to 0.

A PECULIAR PARALLEL.

The actual work of reclailnine desert land and
swamp land and the system OF canals and
ditches necessary in each offer q peculiar
parallel In the former the main canal comes
from the water source and when II reaches the
land 10 he irrigated branches out into lesser
canals and finally into bitches that run 10 each
individual quarter section. With the drainage
problem the system is identical as far as the
great canal is concerned. and the smaller canals
and finally the individual bitches, but with tho
difference that the water runs toward the land

In the mean time H. NJ. Wilson. an expert cf

reclamation on behalf Of the government and
largely because Of his findings much enthusiasm
is now being manifested TO the possibilities
of the work. Mr. Wilson estimates that there is
an amount Of land equal to that in the arid re-
gions that may be reclaimed; that the expense
of given projects will be less than in arid recla-
nation and that the land brought into cultiva-
ton is much moro accessible to the great mass
of population. He says that much has been
done In the first place by private interests in
draining small tracts here and there other
work has been done by counties and even by
states. but this work has been TO a large extent
