The " ork on the city we'll has
closed down. The last drilling
was done about the middle of last
week, an d on Saturday the we'll
was measured under supervision
of members Of the council and it
was found that the hole drilled

Gentry had drilled 900 feet, more
than week before, and the coun.
Gil had entered into an agreement
with him to 60 100 feet further.
Mr.. Gently took up his apparatus,
and moved his engine to the ]. w.

where he will start drilling a we'll.

Life In christIania.

Many of the residences of Chris
tiania stand villa-like in the midst OF
pretty gardens, which IN summer are
full OF bloom and give the streets a
peculiar charm and sense OF open
ness. Within the people live simple,
wholesome lives, kindly and hospit-
able, with that truest hospitality
which invites the guest to share IN
good cheer without ostentation or
display. Dinner is at 3 or 4 o'clock,
served by trim, fresh-looking maids,
and supper at s. where. except on
formal occasions, the guest Is free to
forage around the table for himself
Host and hostess drink the health OF
each guest with the word "skaal,'
replied to by the eyes over the glass
after drinking. Adjourning to the
drawing room, the guests thank both
master and mistress Of the house. and
on the next meeting never fail 70
say; Thanks for the last time"

frank and Unaffected simplicity of the
life and the Straightforward kindli-
ness of the people.-The Atlantic:

To dig ones own potatoes, to shock
ones own corn, to pick ones own
apples. to pile ones own squashes at
ones own barn! 1t Is like filing

try. One is immune to winter after
this, provided he stays to- bake his
apples In his own fire. One works
himself into glow with all
his digging. and picking and piling
that lasts until warm weather comes
again. And along with this harvest
glow comes stealing over him the

Question Of rIp. not . Novelty.

The agitation against the tipping Of
servants which has lately engaged at.
tention Is by no means a novelty. A
determined effort was made many
years ago to put a stop to the Gus
tom. From w. Tones "Chronologi-
cal Historian" the Dundee Advertiser
quotes the following paragraph, un-
der the date January 16, 1850:
AT a meeting Of the nobility and
gentry Of Scotland at Edinburgh 1t
was unanimously agreed to abolish
the inhospitable custom of giving
walls (or 'tips) to servants; and at
the same time 1t was their opinion
that an addition to the yearly wages
of servants would be more honorable
for the master and more beneficial
to the servant. The Hike resolution
was agreed to In a meeting Of the no
bility and gentry of Aberdeen"
1t does not appear that the "unani-
nous" agreement of the Scottish no
bility and gentry did much toward
obilshing vails.-The Westminster

THE AUTO IN WARFARE.
Car Equipped with Guns Plays Part
In an Engagement.

~ 80
Speaking of the automobile in war
,are, THE illustrated Sporting and
Dramatic News. says:
Motorists who have been or are en-
gagged in one of the services (and
they must form quite a percentage OF
our readers) will have been interest
ed to see how successfully the car
engaged in the French war In Moroc-
CO has acquitted herself. This ma
chine, fitted with three quick firing
guns, left Paris on December 8. Six
days later it had progressed so far
as to arrive at the scene of, and take
part in, the most decisive engage
ment of the campaign-that at Ain
STA, where its usefulness was such
that its commander, Captain Gently
"a we'll known French amateur rae
ing motorist, by the way), has since
been decorated with the Cross OF the
Legion of Honor, "for distinguished
services in the Moroccan campaign"
This particular chassis was OF
standard type, 40 horsepower, with
only normal ground clearance. Its
facility of manoeuvring, therefore,
must set at rest forever the pessim-
istic tongues so often protesting that
"cars were all right on roads, buc
for use in the veldt or desert, or In
deed on any broken ground, we're
quite impossible. The journey to
the front of this mitrailleuse was
sufficiently beset with trouble to
form quite a test case. From few
hours after it left the ship nothing
at all like a road could be used.
Rivers had always to be forded, their
banks in many cases having to be
followed for miles before fordable
point was found.
The land within a considerable dis
tance of any African stream from
the Nile downward is ALWAYS of the
most irregular character. and when
once a stream was crossed the ground
on the newly reached side would be
found to bear miles of powders,

to make mile-an-hour walking, or
large stretches of cactus, whose
'spines" were so assertive as TO
force even the wild animals to give
such places a wide berth. Then
would be met nice little lima climbs,
succeeded by stretches of feet-deep
mud. Out of the quagmire sand
storm would be encountered and the
car SO absolutely showed up that
she had to be dug out Of the grit.
The next incident. probably, would
be the sinking of the car up to the
clutch shaft in a desert bog. On
the whole, It may be said with con-
fidence that the ground covered
could not have been more diffcult to
traverse, and the fact that the first
of Frances automobile machine guns
was able to get up to and account for
a number of the mobile Arabs has
proved beyond all cavil her claim to
recognition as a practicable unit OF
our neighbor's effective fighting
strength.

GOAT IS SHIPS PASSENGER.


New York.-Should a goat be taken
as first cabin passenger? is one of
the many questions which have arisen
during the week to drive j. G. Horton,
general passenger traffic manager of
the ocean steamship company, to dis.
traction. This question came up when
James Harding of Glens Falls, N. Y,
notified the company that he, his wife
and their infant daughter, Florence,
desired to sail on the steamer City of
Savannah
Miss Florence Is very delicate, and
under doctors advice she has been
drinking goats milk, so Mr.. Harding
notified Mr.. Horton that the goat that
had supplied the milk would accom-
pany them. He suggested paying first
cabin fare for the milk supply, and
giving the animal a room to herself
Believing that Miss Mamie Goat"
would not add to the attractiveness of
the ships list, Manager Horton
sought to persuade the father that
the goat would be as well cared for
II put in the steerage. The outcome
of all this was that when the City of
Savannah sailed the goat went along,
but not as a cabin passenger. She
was put in comfortable quarters be-
tween decks.

The company defended itself upon
the following points:
Said dog was chasing a rabbit up
defendants tracks in violation of the
game laws.
Said rabbit lived on defendants
right Of way, and was therefore the
property of the defendant.
Plaintiffs dog was trespasser,
and was hunting defendants property

ELECTRICITY AS CROP AID.
Government Expert Has New Plan to
Hasten Growth

Washington.-Prof. Albert F. Wood,
assistant chief of the bureau of plant
industry, department of agriculture, is
at work on line OF experiments
which, II expected results are OBJ
tanned, will eliminate the word back
ward" as applied to crops, from the
farmers vocabulary. He proposes to
use electricity as a means of hasten
ing the growth Of plants and vegeta.
bles. That is. he expects to make 1t
possible to farm by electricity.
Prof. Wood says that In Germany
certain crops are raised by electricity.
Why cannot the same be done In the
United States? he asks himself.
Near the department of agriculture
a plot OF ground has been overlayed
and underlayed with a system of
wires. When the weather becomes
warmer seed will be planted and the
current turned on. Prof. Wood says
that the experiments conducted In
Germany show that by electricity
sugar beets mature month earlier
than In the usual way, and that they
contain more sugar.
