BRITISH FLEET TO PACIFIC.
Fourth Cruiser Squadron Is Ordered
 to EsouimaIt

rourth Cruiser Squadron Is Ordered
 to Esquimalt.
 Halifax, N. S., Feb. 6.-Great Brit ain has ordered her famous fourth cruiser squadron of eleven warships to Esquimalt her naval base on the Pa" cific in British Columbia. When the squadron shall have arrived, the Brit ish fleet at Esquimalt will consist of thirteen cruisers, whose guns will con- mand every seaport city of the states of Washington and Oregon and will be within two days sail of San Fran cisco bay.
 No explanation of Ensland's reason for sending the big fleet to the Unit ed States sea frontier is vouchsafed by the admiralty. Naval experts here and in London do not deny, however, that Great Britain is preparing to full fill her part of her treaty alliance with Japan in the event, however remote, that the United States and Japan be- come involved in war.

BARNS BURNED.
Night Riders Visit Witnesses
AGAINST jake Ellis.

Murray, KY, Aug. 1G.-That
courts and soldiers in Kentucky
have little effect on organized out
law bands, known as night riders.
was evidenced here last night when
the bold raiders took vengeance on
Dave and Smoot Hendricks, father
and son, prosecuting witnesses in
the recent trial of Jake Ellis.
The night riders visited the
barns of each of these men and
burned them. The Messrs. Hen
bricks have both been bitter against
the night riders and their depreda-
tons.
This is the second barn that has
been burned for Smoot Hendricks.

CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN.
How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use Of
the Moist Subsoil.

In Syria and Palestine from the be-
ginning of April until October there is
practically no rain, yet in July the
fields teen with a vigorous growth of
watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers,
ETC., all fourishing without artificial
watering, although e that time no
rain has fallen for many weeks.
In fact the Syrian peasant, from. the
moment his seed has been sOwn, prays
that no rain may fall. During the
period of growth of a crop the surface
of the soil to a depth of six or eigh;
inches is perfectly dry and loose. Be
low this surface layer will be found
moist soil, in which the roots extend
and grow vigorously. In this mois'
subsoil plants continue to grow until
late autumn. When the crop is re
moved in the autumn the rains com
n:ence and the land is plowed afte
each heavy rain as soon as the sol
begins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept ir
view in plowing-to furnish favor
. able surface for taking up all tn
water and to prevent its upward evaT
GRAFTON. from the subsoil The grea
point is to keep the upper six incheS
of soil perfectly loose and friable, st
that the moisture from below is no
drawn upward and lost in evaporation
but does not ascend higher than tn,
compact subsoil that is not broken H.
by the pillow. For this reason the pillow
ing is shallow, averaging from four &c
six inches in depth.
When the time for sowing the seed
arrives the land is plowed to deptE
of about six inches and the seed Is
sown from an arrangement attached
to the pillow, falls on the damp sub
soil and is covered by the soil closing
over behind the plowshare. From this
time the upper stratum of loose soil
prevents the escape of moisture up
ward beyond the wet subsoil on which
the seeds rest and into which theiI
roots after the process of termination
spread.
