Desert Places opened.

The opening of a railroad from a
point near Luxor into the Libyan
desert has rendered easy the approach
to the oasis of Khargeh, which is re-
garded as a typical example ofsthese
isolated centers of life. The Libyan
GASES are deep depressions in lofty
plateau. which has a maximum eleva-
tiop of nearly 1000 feet, but the bot
toms of the oases are only from 100
to 800 feet above sea level. They are
underlain by beds of sandstone. which
are the sources of the water supply.
Artesian wells 400 feet deep form
practically inexhaustible means of ir-
rigation and such deep wells have
been used from ancient times. The de-
pressions were once the beds OF
lakes and the water in the sandstone
probably has it's sources in the Abys-
sinian highlansd.

Rat determination.

Consul General John Edward Jones,
at Winnipeg, reports that active meas
ures are being taken by the Manitoba
government to rid the province of
rats, which made their appearance in
the grain fields and granaries last
spring.
Through the cooperation of the
chemists of the agricultural college in
Winnipeg virus has been produced
which, it is claimed, is fatal to rats
and easily communicable to others.
AS the rodents when discovered had
already made their way into the fields,
this method of ridding the country
was deemed most efficacious. The
virus produces a fatal fever in the
rodents, which much resembles ty-
phoid. 1t was found impracticable to
distribute this virus broadcast to farm
ers, so supply has been sent to the
secretaries of the various municipali-
ties together with instructions for
use.-Consular Report.

MADE MORE SMALL HOLDINGS
Good Results Of Years Operation
Of British Law That Was
Much Opposed.

II is officially declared in Great
Britain that the small holdings act
of 1908 has given great stimulus to
the provision of small holdings by
private land owners direct, The re.
suit of the first years work for the
country at large since the act came
into operation has been that 23,2S5
applications have been received by
county councils for 373,601 acres;
that 13.202 applications have been ap.
proved Professionally as suitable; that
the estimated quantity of land re-
quired for the suitable condition ap.
plicants is .185,09S acres; that 21,417
acres have been purchased, and 10,-
OIL acres leased; that the land &C.
quired will provide for about 1900 of
the applications, and that 504 of them
were in actual possession Of their
holdings on December 81, 1908.
Out of the approved applicants
about 81 per cent were agricultural
laborers. It is estimated that at the
end of September of this year
not less than $4,000 acres was OBJ
tanned, but few of the applicants de-
sire to purchase their holdings. Out of
1926 applications received during
the year only 629 or 81 per cent. ex-
pressed a desire to purchase. No
doubt considerable land has been sup
piled by land owners direct, mainly
through the intervention of county
councils, stimulated by the provisions
of the act.
During 1908 there were in Devon
and Cornwall 722 applications for 12,-
2T1 acres. The councils purchased
440 acres and leased 129 acres. In
the southwest of England there are
large areas of crown lands once under
cultivation but now neglected that
ill doubtless be brought back in the
near future to suitable and profitable
husbandry by the hands of the people.

GIRL WALKS FORTY MILES
Soantily Clad Young Society Woman
Escapes from Insane Asylum
and Is Found Exhausted.

Kenosha, Wis. Scantily clad,
Miss Eleanor Joslin, a former Den.
yer society girl, escaped from the
Waufatosa asylum and walked 40
miles to Kenosha. She made the trip
in IL hours.
Friends in Kenosha, at whose resi-
dence she knocked, took her in, bun
died her into bed and summoned n
physician. The girl was exhausted
by her trip, but had suffered no seri-
Gus harm from the exposure. She has
been taken back to the asylum.
Miss Joslin made the journey clad
only in shoes, stockings, skirt and a
shirt waist. Her waist and skirt were
torn in shreds upon her arrival, she
having crawled through fences to hide
whenever she saw any one approach
ing along the highway. The shoes
were worn through, and her feet were
bleeding.
Disappointment over her parents
refusal to allow her to unite with a
religious order is given as the cause
of Miss Joslin's mental condition.

ted in 2:01A, the fastest mile ever
trotted in a race, and two seconds
faster than the previous record held
by Cresceus. The second heat was
trotted in 2:01A, the fastest second
heat trotted in a race, and the race
itself was the fastest two heats.

Purest EnaIlsh in. America.

Prof George l.. Raymond of the
George Washington university OF
Washington has been revisiting Lon
don after A years, and he brings
back the report that he is more firm;
ly convinced than ever that the pur-
est English is spoken in America. He
said, to quote him directly:
81 find that England is still full Of
dialects, and that Englishmen Of edu-
cation mispronounce the English Ian
guage. In Westminster Abbey heard
a preacher mispronounce four words
within five minutes. In America we
keep to the standard of the language
We pronounce according to the die
tionary, to which everybody refers
In England 1t seems to be common
practice to mispronounce words de-
liberately."

UOBBER KILLS BANK CASHIER
SHOOTS THE PRESIDENT AND
WOUNDS THE CHAUFFEUR.
Daring Daylight Holdup Attempted
by Novel-Crazed Youth at New
Albany, Ind.

Louisville, Ky.-The youthful ban
dit who entered the Merchants Ma

gary Fawcett, the cashier, with the
first bullet, turned his weapon on John
X. Woodward, president of the in

John r. Tucker, negro chauffeur of
an automobile in which the bandit
tried to make his escape, was also
wounded and may die.
After an exciting chase down the
Ohio river by motor boat full of po-
lice, the bandit was captured. The
prisoner was saved from mob which
mad gathered to lynch him, only by a
ruse.
AS the bandit entered the door OF
the bank he ordered everyone to hold
up their hands. An instant later he be-
gan firing with both guns.
Fawcett was shot through the chest
and neck and died almost instantly.
President Woodward was shot through
the liver and intestines. Tucker, the
chauffeur, who lives in Louisville, was
shot through the body.

TRADE SCHOOLS ARE URGED
Industrial Education Is Advocated In
Report Made to Federation of

Toronto, Ont Organized labor's
attitude on the vital question oi
industrial education was set forth
in report to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor by the
special committee appointed by au
thority of the Denver convention to
investigate the subject.
The committee, of which John Nit.
cheH is chairman, held three meetings
during the year in New York, Wash
ington and Toronto.
1T is believed" says the report,
'that the future welfare of America
largely depends on the industrial
training of our workers and protect.
ing them. The inquiries of the com.
mittee seem to indicate that If the
American workman is to maintain the
high standard of efficiency, the boys
and girls of the country must have an
opportunity to acquire educated hands
and brains, such as may enable them
to earn a living in self-selected vo-
cation and acquire an intelligent un-
derstanding of the duties of good citi-
| zenship.
I'VE favor the establishment of
schools in connection with the public
school system at which pupils be-
tween the ages of IA and 16 may be
taught the principles of the trades,
not necessarily in separate buildings,
but in separate schools adapted to
this particular education and by com.
petent and trained teachers.

SHERIFF AND CITIZENS JAILED
Sentences Imposed on Tennessee Men
Because They Defied United
States Supreme Court.

Washington, d. C.-For the first
time in it's history, the United States
supreme court on November 10 i'm.
posed prison sentences for acts of con-
tempt against that august body, in the
case growing out of the lynching of
Ed Johnson, negro, who was charged
with assault at Chattanooga, Tenn, in
1906. The act of contempt charged
was the failure of officials to prevent
the lynching and participation therein
by citizens, after the court had an.
nounced its intention to review the
case. The crowd was angry because
a stay of execution, which was to have
taken place the day following the
night of the lynching. was thereby
given the negro. Those sentenced;
Joseph w. Shipp, ex-sheriff, 80 days;
jeremiah Gibson, ex-jailer, 60 days;
Luther Williams, citizen, 80 days;
Nick Nolan, citizen, 80 days; Henry
Padgett, citizen, so days; William

MAXIM DEVICE IS 0. K.
AMERICAN ARMY TO BE ARMED
WITH NolSELEss MusKETs.
official Tests of Sllencer Show II TO
be Adaptable In Principle to
the Military Rifle.

Washington, d. C.-War is to be-
come a silent as well as smokeless
business. Official tests of the Maxim
silencer, just completed, show 1t to
be adaptable in principle to the mil
itary rifle. The waSdepartment made
public report on the silencer Novem-
ber 10. The American army, as soon
as possible, will be armed with noise
less muskets. Army experts are now
working out the necessary modifica-
tions which will be needed to fit the
silencing device for the rough usage of
campaigning.
The first Spanish, French and Eng
lish veterans to face the American In
dian found his ambush, and his silent,
deadly arrows nerve shattering. To
the horrors of such warfare will now
be added the marvellous long range of
modern small arms. The Spanish war
was the first to be fought with smoke
less powder. American regulars, vet
Grams of Sioux and Apache campaigns
testified that the ordeal of facing the
Mauser was both novel and terrible
They had the whiplike reports to
guide them. yet they found it difficult
indeed, to locate even roughly the
source of the whining bullets
In tomorrow's warfare neither the
silent, peaceful landscape nor kindly
sound waves will give hint of the
concealed enemy, whose bullets fall
like rain. The silencer will almost
guarantee the success of night attacks
on sleeping camps. Out of the dark
ness. out of the void, will spring the
sudden messengers of death. The
silent rife will be added to wars ar
mory just as the swift fitting aero
plane carries the savage business fol
the first time into the field of the
skies. Noiseless weapons will be ar
ideal equipment for hawk-like bi
planes. American troops will be the
first of the world powers to use the
silencer.
