Queer Water Supplies

Methods Of procuring water are not
confined to digging wells or storing up
the rainfall in reservoirs.
David Lindsay, who explored the
great Australian desert, says that the
whole of that almost waterless coun-
try is inhabited by natives who get
their water supply by draining the
roots OF. the malice tree, which yield
quantities of pure water. This tree,
absorbing moisture from the air, re-
tains it in considerable quantities in
its roots, and thus makes it possible
to live in an arid region which would
otherwise DE un1nhabitable.
There are people in other parts of
the world who get their supply of wa
ter IN peculiar way. The explorer
Coudreau, for instance, found, while
wandering in the western part of
Guiana, that it was not necessary for
his men to descend to creek when
they wanted a drink of water. A vine
known as the water vine is found ali
through that region. It yields an
fluid whenever it is called upon.
This vine grows to length of 60 to
90 feet. 1t is usually about as thick
as the upper part of the human arm.
1t winds itself loosely around trees,
chambers up to their SUBMITS, and then
falls down perpendieularly to the
ground, where it takes root again.
The natives cut this vine off at the
ground, and then, at height of SIX
or seven feet, they cut it again. which
leaves in their hands very stout niece
Of wood little longer than them
selves. In order to obtain its sap. they
raise the lower end of the vine unon
some support and apply the upper end
to their mouths.
The section Of the vine. while show
ing a smooth, apparently compact sur
face is pierced with many LITTLE veins,
through which the sap flows freely.
Six feet of the vine gives a pint Of
water, which is slightly sweet to +he}
taste. Coudreau saws that it quencbes
thirst as effectively as water from the
most refreshing brook.
The bushmen in the Kalab9ri desert
in South Africa often i've scores of
miles from places whore water comes
to the surface During a certain MARI
of the year rains fiji for a few shot
days the water courses. Later +be
bushmen know how 10 find wafer I'M
the bottom of the dried M river beds
They dig a hole three or four feet
deep and then tie sponge to the end
Of hollow reed. The sponge ahsorhS
the moisture at the bottom Of the hole.
and the natives draw it into their
mouths through the reed, and then
empty it into calabasbes for f,,+1,re
use
The animals that inhabit such wastes
as the Kalahari are. of course accns-
toned to living upon very small and
inGfreqnent supplies Of water. The Be.

THE FAIR SCANDlNAVIANS.

It is hard to agree with Major Wood
ruff as to the influence of fogs upon
blonde types, in considering Norway
and Sweden, the home of the blondes.
The vikings of the prehistoric times
have come down to us as ffaxen-haired.
!, The dominant type of Scandinavia to-
day is the blonde In the mountains of
Sweden there are a few dark-haired
inhabitants, but they are known as
descendants of immigrants from the
south of Europe. Everywhere the
blonde is supreme, from the Skager
Rack and the Cattegat to the Arctic
ocean, but the climate in which this
Light skinned type persists is not one
of fogs, but of clearness and brightness
the music Of the folklore, the literature.
the mythology of Scandinavia are all
associated with the clearness of the szv.
the brightness Of the stars and the bril-
lianey of the air. Much of Scandi-
ravia is in the domain of the midnight
sun. In summer one can pick IN a
pin at midnight in Sweden bv means of

tBx French Cable TO The Tribune,

Paris, Dee. 1.-THE short and moder-
ate speech with which Herr Won Beth

German parliament as Chancellor of the
Empire causes widespread satisfaction
in France. In diplomatic circles IL Is re-
garded as a new departure and as dis

trate German energies upon peaceful

Kings churches IN America. England

ber Of representative members Of those
churches. will take part in the Edin-

SWISS EXTRADITION,
Il Dubious Decision ia the
fFossiief Case.

Neufetatel. Switzerland. New. 20 tSpe-
eial).-A final disposition of the WassilIsff
sxtTaditiOn ease has just been made by
the federal tribunal, and the full text OF
the courts conclusions has been made
public.
Nearly year ago three young men
entered the BaRque du Nerd at AIexan-
drovsk- -GrOuchsvsk, ia Russia, and held up
the eashlsr and a client who was in the
bank at the time. Theu then took from
the safe the SUM OF IGsTs Fubles As
they were. about ts escape. one OF the
clerks named Victor Wassiliefr, who had
been quietly looking on, entsFsd into CON.
versatioR with the robbers. who explained
To him that they belonged to the "anar-
chist-cOmmunist party" Thercupon Was
silieff handed them The cash book and got
one of them To enter in it receipt for
the amount which had just been stolen.
After this WassiUeff offered cigarettes to
the bandits which they smoked before
making away with the booty. The man
neF of the clerk to the thieves excited the
suspicious of the cashier and the GUS
TONER. Inquiry showed that the perpe-
traitors of the crime We're three ticket-Of-
leave men belonging to no political party.
and that the motive of their act was per-
sanal interest. One OF the accused men
revealed the fact that Wassilieff was an
aceOmplice and had told him and his COM
paniOns where the money was kept. in
return for which information they paid
him 500 Fuhles.
NaSSilieff fled 20 Geneva. where he was
arrested al the request Of the Russian Le-
g2ttcp at Berne, Tie protested that he
was innocent. and his advocate maintained
that the crime OF which ne was accused
was political For several months the case
caused lively discussion I'm switzerland;
many radicals and socialists as well as
anarchists opposed Wassiliefrs extradition.
