interesting statistics irrigation in Idaho. The
figures secured from various State records and
form part of a magazine article being prepared by

have been received that it may be considered practi-
caly authentic.
The following table shows Idahos irrigated lands,

The Holy City.

Thirty men, red-eyed and disheve1ed, lined up be-
fore judge of the San Francisco police court 1t
was the regular morning company of "drunks and
disorderlies." Some were old and hardened, others
hung their heads in shame. Just as the mon1entary
disorder attending the bringing in of the prisoners
quoted down, strange thing happened. A strong,
clear voice from below began singing:
Last night lay a-s1eeping
There came dream so fair
Last night! 1t had been for them all nightmare
drunken stupor. The song was such contrast
to the horrible fact that could fail of sudden
shock at the thought the song suggested.
I stood in old Jerusalem,
Beside the temple there,
the song went on. The judge had paused He made
a quiet inquiry former member of famous
opera company known all over the country, was
awaiting trial for forgery. 1t was he who was sing
ing in his cell.
Meantime the song went on, and every on the
line showed emotion. One or two dropped on their
knees; boy at the end of the line, after des-
perate effort at sefcontrol leaned against the wall,
buried his face against his folded arms and sobbed
20, mother, motherP
The sobs cut to the very heart the men who heard
and the song, still yelling its way through the court
room, blended in the hush. At length one man pro-
tested
"Sudge," said he "have got to submit to this
We're here to take punishment, but this" He,
too, began to SOB
1t was impossible to proceed with the business of
the court, yet the judge gave order to stop the
song The police sergeant, after suppressed effort
to keep the men in lne stepped back and waited with
the rest The song moved on to its climax
Jerusalem, Jerusalem Sing for the night is DER!
Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna for evermore!
In an ecstasy of melody the last words rang out
and then there silence.
The judge looked into the faces of the men before
him. There not who not touched by
the song; not in whom some better inn
pulse was not stirred He did not call the cases
sing1y-a kind word of advice, and he dismissed
them all. No fined sentenced to the
workhouse that morning The song had done more
good than punishment could have accomplished

PANIC IN KINGSTON.
4 Chinaman Rings Town Bell Scar
ing Residents Out of Their Wits.

Kingston, Jamaica, Feb. "A pan
ic, excelled only by that following TIE
earthquake, was caused by the unex-
pected tolling of the big town bell,
was turned into an occasion OF laugh
ter rather than fear A Chinaman,
believing the government had offered
a reward Of fifty pounds to anyone
who would ring the bell without caus-
ing the tower in which it is located
to fall, undertook the feat, chosing
midnight as the time for the perform
ance.
At the first mournful tap of the bell
the residents leaped from their beds,
imagining some horrible impending
danger. a few bolder spirits rushed
to the tower and arrested the China
man, who vainIy endeavored to ex-
plain. He was locked up.

MRS. CHAwICK sHAMsuNG.
Prison Doctor Says That Incarcera-
ton Has Agreed With Her.

Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, who was able
to victinize bankers and get big sums
has been unable to deceive the Off
Gals at the Ohio enitentiary in Co
lumbus, O.
For weeks reports have been cir
culated that the woman was on the
brink of a collapse, as the prison lie
and fare had gradually drained her
strength until she was thin and weak.
These reports came from walters who
served her, guards, and lawyers. 1t IS
thought that Mrs Chadwick intended
to give this impression and then lay
her case before President Roosevelt
and appeal for a pardon upon the
grounds of broken health and chas-
tened spirits.
DR.. ]. NJ. Thomas, chief physician
of the penitentiary, however, declared
to-day that the reports were false.
Mrs. Cnadwick's health, if any
thing, has improved since her incar-
ceration,' he said s'When she entered
the prison her nervous system was
somewhat excited, and she remained
in this condition FOR some little time,
but now she is calm and self-contain-
ed and in good general health
Mrs. Chadwick has frequently said
she could not perform the light task
assigned to her by the nlatron of the
woman's department. Each time this
complaint was registered DR.. Thomas
was summoned. He always found her
condition was good, and said. exercise
would benefit her health. One NOR
ming he said bluntly:
Mrs. Chadwick you are not i'll.
You are only shamming.'
Since she has been in the prison
Mrs. Chadwick's sole ailment has
been indigestion, due to overindulg-
ence in rich foods. Each night a cab
brings her a good dinner from a res
taurant, which costs, on the average
50. TIE bill is paid by her Columbus
lawyer. From some source the money
flows in upon her and provides luxur-
ries.

NEW FORCE OF NATURE.
Important Atmospheric Discovery
Made by German Scientist.

Scientific men in Germany are eagerly
discussing the reported discovery Of q
new natural force. Prevalent ideas II
regard to the mechanism of the uni
verse have been so revolutionized, in
the course Of the last ten years, by
the discovery Of x rays, radium, and
so forth, as to suggest the existence Of
still more unknown forms Of energy
and unrevealed forces. Many prob
lens which were formerly ignored by
science 2s being the outcome Of super
sition-such, for instance, as that Of
the divining rod-are therefore being
locke at less skeptically than be-
fore.
Herr c. Gruhn Of Berlin, who some
years ago excited public interest by
the invention of an apparatus for the
telegraphic Transmission of handwri-
ting, has recently made some interest
ing experiments from which. the ex-
istence OF some new natural force is
inferred. A wooden rod hung up by
silk thread fro mthe top of a closed
glass vessel was found under certain
conditions to be acted on by another
rod consisting Of metal or stone. In
fact. as the latter was brought nearer
to the vessel the suspended wooden
rod was drawn toward it as though
there were some attraction between
the two. In other cases a lepulsion
was observed. These phenomena
were found to depend or the condi-
ton of the atmosphere.
The apparatus constructed by
G1uhn can even be used foi the prog
nostication Of the weather. In spite of
difference in temperature, each kind
OF weather will, in fact, De found to
correspond with given behavior of
the suspended rod. Changes in the
weather are generally announced from
twelve to thirty-six hours beforehand.
Especially remarkable results were
Obtained with a glass tube containing
paper, vane suspended by quartz
thread, when the existence Of two
forces was revealed, one of which was

walls Of the glass vessel. and the oti sr
an attraction due to the suspended
body. According to present views, heat
consists Of an undulating motion Of
the surrounding ether This motion
would obviously be unable to produce
an attraction or repulsion as above
stated.
Herr Gruhn and other scientific men
are pursuing their Investigations by
