Is to create sentiment which will

would be reduced by care, thorough

A Few Miles of Railroad.

Rumors of war between great pow
ers, said to be threatened by the IN
terminable troubles of the region
known as the Balkans, often appear tc

Of way has been made to figure In the
complications as a possible cause of
war. Russia has been at work on a
line from Servia to the AdriatIc Aus
tria is barred from connecting two
lines which would, If united, form a
line terminating at Salonika, next to
Constantlnople the richest seaport

A strip OF Turkish territory sep
arates the two Austrian lines, and, al
though Austria Is allowed to keep
troops in the region, she cannot build

the powers, which govern In all ques-
tons relating to the rights of Turkey.
Evidently both Russia and Austria
look upon the railroad projects as In

railroads for the disposition of troops
In 1866. Bismarck dispatched troops
by rail overnight and fought battles by

REcLAIMIN : ALKALI :LAND3.

An interesting and important
investigation is being carried on BY
the reclamation service, to deter
mine the best method of reclaim
ing the alkali lands under the
Truckee- Carson project, Nevada.
The plan entails the installing
Of ten acres Of alkali land typical
in texture Of the general farm
lands now being enteied by farm
ers with under drains. for the
purpose of leeching out the alkali,
and the preparation OF another ten
acres of land for flooding copiously
with water, without under drains
being previously laid. 1t is intend
cd that the work Oh the first ten
acres will demonstrate tile advi5-
ability Of reclaming alkali lands
with under drains, and determine
the approximate cost for such work
per acre. The work on the second
ten acres should determine the pos
sibility of retaining these lands /
from alkali without under drain /
being previously laid The lands |
selected are not only typical farm
lands met with in this, but in other
projects, aud are threatened with |
aikali accumulation.
The data collected will be Of !
value to the farming interests in
that the result will demonstrate the
best process for handling farm
lands which are TOO salty for prof
table cultivation, and which are
met With in several parts Of the arid
region. In connection with the
drainage systems installed by the
engineers on the project il will
offer valuable Information relative
10 the efficiency of such drainage
systems.
Beside the two tracts above men
toned, land has been selected fot
the installation OF under drains on
a third ten acre tract This selec-
ton represents typical alkali condi.
tons for the heavy adobe lands IS
ing ia large bodies in the flats Of
the Truckec- Carson project. Should
i b. found possible to reclaim these
lands az reasonable cost, il is be
Iieved that the land available for

would be increase by many thou

LITERARY BULLS.
For Instance, tho "Groan That Gurales
From the Slain"

For instance, the "Groan That Guraies
From tho Slain"
Macaulay once reviewed a poem in
which a climax Of absurdity was reach.
ed with this line:
And hearst each groan that gurgles from
the slain.
The poetic license which let's a 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
thrice he slew the slain" and the Irish
member of parliament who convulsed
the house "f commons by exclaiming
that he would die as a soldier first and
a man aft~rward.
But. strange to say. Macaulay himself
has made IL similar blunder. In his
Battle Of Lake Ragillus'' the follow
ing lines occur:
The shouting Of the slayers
And screeching Of the slain.
Did these writer's make these slips
In the heat Of battle or were they
testing the intellectual a%cuteness Of
their readers? There is q story Of a
German schoolmaster who used to call
out his class In history and begin to
tell them of the Thirty Years war. Eyes,
children" he would say. this is a sub
ject in which I am especially interest
ed. as my grandfather often told me
about it. He was a well to do innkeep-
er, and n day as he was standing in
his doorway a mounted soldier came
galloping up at a 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 todayT" At this point
the ancient pedagogue would pause and
survey his class. Then a smile would
o%verspread his rubiolnd c~ountenance If
a hand was raised and a boyish treble
asked how the dragon knew the wal
would last thirty years. Perhaps Jul
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.-George Seibel In Pittsburg

THE STUPID SWAN.
Graceful and Beautiful, tho Bird IL .
Nincompoop.

Graceful and Beautiful, tho Bird 10 q
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 1t 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 it
Is stuck fast. Not infrequently owners
Of these handsome but witless birds
are compelled to chop away sufficient
withdraw their imprisoned feet.
The stupidity Of the swan in this
respect is emphasized by the intelli-
gence exhibited by ornamental ducks
when the weather turns cold. As
night ONE 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
h a circle. free from ice, so that when
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 1t, the swan
will rush a few feet toward the pond
and then drop down on the ground and
try to 60 through the motions of swim
ming, apparently unable in It's fright
to realize that it has not yet reached
the water.
Neither is the common swan q 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
i1 antagonist. The black swan usually
provokes the fight, too, for it is rather
q quarrelsome bird.-Washington Star.
