WATER FROM SAND DUNES.
Source Of Part Of the Netherlands'
Drinking Supply.

The supply of water for Amsterdam
and The Hague is collected from sand
dunes bordering on the sea. In the
dunes near Harlem, where they have
a width of nearly two and half miles.
the SUBMITS are 20 to % feet above
the sea level. The quantity of rain
water percolating to the ground-water
streams is estimated at 1.19 inches
per annum. From Amsterdam the
water IL collected in open canals,
which are never excavated below sea
Level. For The Hague 1t is collected
in stoneware pipes in bed Of shells
laid at a depth Of Is feet below sea
level. Harlem is beginning to build
wells so to 60 feet below sea level to
collect water. AS fresh water Is found
at such depth under the dunes, while
the water at the same depth in the
immediate neighborhood Is salt, it is
thought that the hydraulic pressure OF
the dune water prevents sea impreg

In solution and for this reason, as wal'
as for other reasons is filtered at the
three places mentioned before being
pumped into the mains. When the
water is collected in wells or pipes
it must be aerated before being Al
tered.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

The following logical editorial on the
municipal ownership question is taken
from the Minneapolis Tribune:
The theory of municipal ownership
is that the municipal corporation can do
for the public at cost the service now
done by private corporations at prof
1t, saving to the public the amount Of
the profit in reduced charges.
In the common practice of municipal
ownership the city does 70. the public
at increased expense, but for lower
price, what private corporations have
been doing for a profit. Usually not
only the profit is absorbed in the in.
creased expense, but continual an
nual deficiency is covered up by increase
Of the municipal debt and failure to
provide out Of earnings for depreciation
Of plant.
BY the time the plant first installed
is worn ont the city, unless very rich
and strong, is apt to be at the end of
its credit In many cases, like that Of
the Philadelphia gas works, q private

Are You Ceft-Eared?

LEFT -eared?" said the physician.
Most of you girls are"
"Left-eared?" said the young lady
from the telephone exchange.
Yes, left-eared. The same as left
handed. That is to say, is your left
ear better at its work than your right
one?'
She did not know, so he tested her,
finding sure enough, that her left ear
was a little the acuter of the two.
1T is a natural thing" ne said. You
girls use the left ear exclusively all
day long in your telephone work, and
the right ear has nothing to do Hence
the left, like a muscle, develops; the
right atrophies.
Indeed he ended, "if the tele.
phone comes into much greater use
we shall have not merely left-eared
exchange girls, but We shall become
left-eared nation"

NO CHANGE IN FEELING.

THE object Of my visit, said frof'
Milyoukov, leader of the Constitutional
Democrats in the third Douma, TO
New York reporter, 'is to correct what
ever false impression may have been
made in America by the newspaper
agents in the pay of the Russian Gov
eminent. Not only here, bat in all the
capitals of Europe, public sympathy
has gradually turned from the people to
the Government of Russia" In this we
believe Prof. Milyoukov is mistaken.
During the war between Russia and
Japan the sympathies of Americans
were mainly with the Japanese. The
principal reason for this was the record
made in history by the Russian Gov
eminent 1t had become fixed IN Amer
can minds as an instrument Of oppres-
sion. persecution brutality. The power
of the Gar was against all human JUS
tice and his sort of government contrary
to all sound logic. In the very issues
between Russia and Japan the Russian
Government had manifested dupliclty,
falsehood and bad faith. When the
war began the people could see on the
one side cruel despotism and on the
other little but enlightened, mon
archy. 1t is because the Americans sym
pathized with the Russian masses that
they were averse to the Government
that crushed them. They resented the
course of the Government 90 strongly
that they could not wish for any trl-
umph that would strengthen it. All
through the war the hearts of the
Americans went out to Russian subjects.
And the feeling is the same to-day. The
American people have the deepest sym
patty with a people bound hand and
foot by stern autocrat and his malevo'
lent adherents. They wish to see
new day dawn for their Muscovite
neighbors-a day which will usher in lib.
erty, which necessarily must be attended
with the collapse Of the autocracy now
lettering them"

A Pioneer Orchard Maker.

Johnny Appleseed," who was John
Chapman of Ohio. while the middle
states wers still the far west, sought
out the best way in which he could
help his fellows Believing that the
meager dietary OF the pioneer mill
tated against health and efficiency, he
fixed upon plan which. put into exc
cution, would bring joy and help TO
the settlers. He spent many years
in traversing all the region about the
Ohio valley, in sowing wild and fertile
land with the seeds OF fruit, especially
OF apples The trees grew apace and
their fruit formed the one sole luxury
upon the table Of the pioneer. Many
an orchard to-day growing upon the
rich land of the prairies is the re-
suit of the largess Of that royal
hearted humanitarian. His native
state Is about to erect monument in
his memory.

AN EDITOR GOES TO CHURCH.

A central Kansas editor says: 1--WE at
tended church some time ago and listen
ed to very good sermon, as sermons
60. We enjoyed the singing, and stood
up with the brethren and sisters while
they sang the good old hymn Shall We
Know Each Other ThereT While the
hymn WAS being sung we glanced about
us and counted about II dozen members
of the congregation of the churcL who
do not speak to each other when they
meet on the street or elsewhere. The
thought occurred to us why should they
know each other there, when they seem
ingly don't know each other hereY'
