spread over the bottom lands
north of town in such volume
and so rapidly as to cause a
general hegira from all that
section.
Four horse teams were rum
ming Tuesday and Wednesday
hauling people and their effects
from the flooded district to
temporary lodgings elsewhere.
The loss of crops on that ter
ritory it is said will be larger
than on former overhows, from
the fact that during several
good seasons settlements up
there have been quite rapid
and many have good improve
ments and large farms opened.
About fifty families are now
more or less affected.
Every available building in
Little Sioux and River Sioux
has been occupied by from one
to four families during the
past few days.
Some of the sufferers tried
hard to stay, hoping the flood
might subside, and having too
much to leave, but by Wednes-
day evening they telephoned
for the teams to move them
out Thursday.
Since '93 they have had sew
eral good seasons on that terri
tory and fine crops have been
secured.
But at this time we hear of
one putting his hogs up in the
corn crib and another has the
pigs in a loft and expects to go
through the mire daily to at
tend to them; others have a
scaffold on which to raise pigs
a few feet.
1t makes a world of trouble
and loss for those in the soup.

The congressional committee
investigating the question of a
paper trust and the tariff on
wood pulp, from which paper is
made, finally stood pat for the
tariff and refused to vote for a
reduction in the duty on wood
pulp and other paper materials.

have but recently seen where
the tariff shoe pinches can now
go ahead paying the freight.

high tariff were the only ones
who had to pay it there would

The Amount of Rainfall Over
the Surface of the Earth.
The discussion of observa-
tions on rainfall made first by
Sir John Murray and later by
Bruckner and Fritsche permits
an estimation to be made of the
mean rainfall on continents,
which is found to be about 30
.---..s. pcl year. Inc rainfall
on the ocean is more difficult to
measure, but it has been esti-
mated by Supau, and Fritsche,
taking account of all the known
facts, estimates the mean an
nual rainfall for the entire sur
face of the earth at about 36
inches. Making use of this
number, it is easy to calculate
that the total rainfall amounts
to 464 millions of metric tons
per year, 1,272 thousand mill
lions of tons per day, So thou
sands millions of tons per hour
SS3 million tons per minute, or
Is million tons per second.
