A paper out in Northwestern Kansas tells of pious old farmer who has the habit of gazing at the rafters in his dining room when saying grace. One day while so engaged he forgot himself and his grace sounded something like this, We thank Thee for this food and by Joe there's that derned gim- let I've been looking for for the last six months. I'll have Jim get up there and get it. Thou hast been gracious to us. o Lord. and again we thank Thee, amen !"- Kansas City Star.

solving the drinking water problem
than three hundred feet steady sup
ply of water is assured, thus making
possible to every rancher on that por-
ton of the tract supply of water
from similar wells But the same old
conditions stand in Twin Falls, and it
is now up to the citizens here to show
a similar amount of push and enter
prise. One manner of getting the wat
er would be to order the Twin Falls
Waterworks company to supply the
city with water from deep well, CIV
ing them a limited time in which to
comply on the penalty of forfeiture OF
their franchise if pure water is not
furnished The other method would be
to form a stock company of citizens
just as Bull has done, and drill well
and then demand a franchise after the
flow is struck. Public sentiment
would be strong enough to insure the
promoters getting franchise if the
pure water should be forthcoming
There should be little delay in getting
such an enterprise under foot, because
every prospective settler or resident of
this city is going to get wise on the
water supply within a few hours after
striking town.

PREDICTING GEOLOGIC UPHEAv-

AIS.
1t is generally acknowledged that a
science attains it's highest stage when
it enables us to foretell what is going
to happen. Judged by this standard,
meteorology is much further advanced
than geology. The weather may now
be foretold with some accuracy, yet
almost no effort is made to forecast
the movements of the earth's crust, on
which so many thousands of lives
often depend. We have an elaborate
science of geology, but it confines it.
self almost entirely to the records OF
the past. There are rare cases where
1t has entered the predictive stage but
these are SO infrequent as merely to
stand out as exceptions. Thus we are
told by Prof. T. A. Jaggar, Jr., of the
Massachusetts Institute OF Technology
that the recent Sicilian disaster wal
foretold by an American volvanologist
Frank Alvord Perrett. who has pre-.
dicted disaster on Mount Etna for two
years past. Professor Jaggar writes
in the Evening Post New York, Jan
uary y:
Mr.. Ferret, who was decorated by
the Crown of Italy for his splendit
service to science and to humanity OF
vesuvius in 1906. wrote in The World
Work Of November, 1907: BY the ra
