THE WORLD DRYING UP.

Possibility That the Human Race Will
Die Of Thirst.
We are to die of thirst. Compare
lively few persons know the suffering
involved In a thirst for which there is
no help at hand. The consuming thirst
more than the pain of any wound
makes the battlefield hell. Yet death
by thirst is the doom forecast for the
race by grim scientists. Biologists
find that the fresh water supply Of the
globe is falling. They have data which
point to the gradual withdrawal of the
streams and other. bodies Of water
from the surface. Both In Africa and
central Asia and, indeed, in all the
great levels the water beds are drying
up. A great number of lakes well
known in the historical age have en-
tirely disappeared. For example, Lake
Chiroua, in Africa, has vanished with
In recent years, as has also Lake
Ngamj, discovered by Livingstone.
Lake Tchad is more than half dried
up. For centuries bodies of water In
central Asia have been evaporating
and the deserts extending. Where
1000 years ago great cities stood in
east Turkestan there are found only
vast and depressing stretches of sand
The river Tarim, once principal Ash
attic route, is almost gone, and Lob
Nor, formerly four times the area of
Lake Geneva, is now but shallow
marsh. The same sad conditions are
noted in European Russia. Novgorod,
the most pushing city in the cars dis
tracted realm, was surrounded by wa
ter In the middle ages. While we may
be sure that the fate which the geolo-
gists suggest for humanity Is very far
away, the facts recited to show the
drying up process are convincing proofs
Of the need Of preserving our forests
with more care. st Paul Pioneer

FATE AND A NAME.
John, When Borne by Royalty, Seem
inIeed with Misfortune.

John, When Borne by Royalty, Seems
Linked With Misfortune.
It is interesting and somewhat curl
GUS to note the persistence with which
misfortune has logged the name OF
"Johnu when borne by royal persons.
although no Ill omen seems to attach
to it in the case of ordinary citizens.
For instance, King John of England
has always been regarded. whether al
together justly or not, as most 1nfa-
nous prince. John of France was
taken captive by the Black Prince, and
John Balliol Of Scotland was most
thoroughly despised by his country
men on account Of his fawning atti-
tude toward the English. Robert Ill.
Of Scotland changed his name from
John, but this did not save him from
his destiny. He himself was cripple
and died of a broken heart, the most
tragic fates having overtaken all most
dear to him.
John 1. of Bohemia was blind. The
Pope John 1. was imprisoned by the
king of the Goths, and Pope John x.
was driven from Rome by the Duke Of
Tuscany. Pope John XII. was impris-
oned by his brother and Is supposed to
have been poisoned, fate similar to
that Af he ece Jonn XIV. Pope John
XIV. was forced to fee from Rome and
died of fever in Tuscany. John XVI,
dubbed the "antipope," after troubled
career, was brutally tortured and con-
signed to dungeon for the brief re-
mainder of his life.
John l. Of Constantinople was poison
ed; John II. was killed while hunting
wild boar, and John III. was dethroned,
his eyes put out and left to die in pris-
on. John I. of CASTLE was killed by a
fall from his horse.
This is not by any means complete
list of the unlucky Johns, but 1t serves
to show the fatality which seems to
cling about the name in so far as roy
atty is Chicago Record

LITERARY BULLS.

For Instance, the "Groan That curgIss
From the Slain"
Macaulay once reviewed poem in
which climax of absurdity was reach
ed with this line:
And hearst each groan that gurgles from
the slain.
The poetic license which lets groan
gurgle from a slain man is capable Of
letting him walk into town from the
field of battle, collect the amount Of
his life insurance policy and hand it
to his widow. 1t brings to mind the
heroic warrior of whom it is said that
s'thrice he slew the slain" and the Irish
member of parliament who conyulsed
the house of commons by exclaiming
that he would die as a soldier first and
a man afterward.
But, strange to say, Macaulay himself
has made a similar blunder. In his
Battle of Lake Ragillus" the follow
ing lines occur:
The shouting of the slayers
And screening of the slain.
Did these writer's make these slips
In the heat of battle or were they
testing the intellectual acuteness Of
their readers? There is story of g.
German schoolmaster who used to cali
out his class in history and begin to-
tell them of the Thirty Years war. 'sYess
children he would say, this is sub
ject In which. am especially interest
ed, as my grandfather often told me
about it. He was well to do innkeep-
er, and one day as he was standing in
his doorway mounted soldier came
galloping up at furious rate. What's
the matter?' asked my grandfather.
Matter enough answered the dragon.
Don't you know that the Thirty Years
war has begun todayY" At this point
the ancient pedagogue would pause and
survey his class. Then a smile would
overspread his rubicund countenance II
hand was raised and boyish treble
asked how the dragoon knew the war
would last thirty years Perhaps our
poets, too, would play the schoolmas-
ter and smile If we should ask them
how it is possible for the slain to groan
or screech.-G George Seibel In Pittsburg
Gazette Times.

THE STUPID SWAN.
Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird Is =
- Nineomnoon

Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird Is .
Nincompoop.
To the mind of the average farmer
nothing which walks on two legs Is
quite SO stupid as a hen. He is mis-
taken, though, for there still remains
that beautiful, graceful nincompoop,
the common swan. The swan is so
stupid that it will stand In the shallow
part Of a pond and allow the water to
freeze round its legs till the ice is so
thick that it cannot lift its feet and 1t
is stuck fast. Not infrequently owners
of these handsome but witless birds
are compelled to chop away sufficient
ice to make it possible for them to
withdraw their imprisoned feet.
The stupidity of the swan in this
respect is emphasized by the intelii-
gence exhibited by ornamental ducks
when the weather turns cold. AS
night comes on and the water begins
to freeze the ducks begin swimming
In a wide, well defined circle. Round
and round they go during the entire
night, keeping all the water within
the day dawns they can float about
and doze in the sun. Ducks are al
ways most active during the night and
choose the day for sleeping.
But to return to the swan. If you
find one of these birds some distance
from the water and startle it, the swan
VIII rush few feet toward the pond
and then drop down on the ground and
try to go through the motions of swim
ming, apparently unable in Its fright
to realize that 1t has not yet reached
the water
Neither is the common swan good
fighter. The black swan, although
one-half its size, is Invariably the VIC
tor in the combats which are some
times engaged in and generally kills
it's antagonist. The black swan usually
provokes the fight, too. for it is rather
a quarrelsome bird.-Washington Star.

she disappeared into the hotel
He saw her several times after that
at the Peterson ranch just below his
mine. He learned that she was the
new governess for the Peterson chill
dren, but was always busy when he
called at their ranch. And how often
it seemed necessary to see Peterson
lately, even though he never had more
than a moments talk with her.
One day a terrible storm came up,
and it rained increasingly, which kept
the giant busy Strengthening the reser-
voirs. The next morning he was awak-
ened by the roar Of rushing water.
Dressing hurriedly and putting on his
high rubber boots, he was soon down
at the point Of the hill where he could
see that Peterson's ranch was entire
ly submerged, the house seeming to
stand in the center Of lake, with
the water gradually rising past the
window stills. He hurried down the
hill and waded through the three feet
Of water to the house. He climbed
through a window, and there on the
stairs sat the girl.

He came often after that, and the
black cat learned to know his feotstel
and to meet him at the door and to
curl up on his knee as he sat In front
of the fireplace while the two good
friends basked and chatted in the gold
en- glow.
And then came the beginning OF the
new quarter and with it Miss Frazier's
remittance.
~And next week / must go" she told
the little man when he came that even

He looked at her calmly.
"You amt goin'," he said.
Miss Frazier, thrilling at his master

with his kindly hand against her
cheek. ''You amt goin' to be lonesome

the glance that flashed between Hide

seen it. He would have been even
more amazed had he watched young
Aldrich next morning riding off to-
ward the gypsy camp at sunrise.
When he reached 1t, the old bag Of

sight Of him. She was busily stufing
a grizzled wig and long black cloak

smoothing the folds of her blue serge

wherein reposed goodly number of

As the latter bowed and smiled and
rode away the little Dresden china

gypsy bangles into her trunk and
closed the lid.
''All's fair In love and war;" she
