THE MISSISSIPPI.
An Explanation Of How Water Can
Run Uphill.

An Explanation OF IVo" V@se' SS'
Run Uphill.
Can water run uphill? 1t would
he legitimate answer to this ques-
ton perhaps to cite the flow OF wa
ter through siphon, its capillary
action as in a lamp wick or its up
ward course when drunk by an ami
NAL. The inquiry should be made
more explicit. Can a river in its
natural channel, open to the air,
run uphill? Impossible as this
seems, it is an established fact. In
truth, every river flowing toward
the equator for a sufficient distance
runs uphill.
The mouth Of the Mississippi is
three miles higher than its source
that is, Minnesota, where the Mis-
sissippi rises, is three miles nearer
the center of the earth than is the
gulf of Mexico. In the reason for
this difference in level will be found
the explanation of the rivers uphill
flow.
As any schoolboy will tell us, the
earth is ball nattcned at the poles.
This flattening, while comparative
ly insignificant, is still sufficient to
make the polar diameter twenty
eight miles shorter than the equa-
torial diameter. In other words,
the north and the south pole are
fourteen miles nearer the earth's
center than is the equator.
Now, the distance from the north
pole to the equator, measured along
the earth's surface, is 5000 miles,
and the distance from the source
to the mouth of the Mississippi is
about 800 miles, or one-fourth of
5000. If, therefore, there is diff
ference in level Of fourteen miles
between the north pole and the
equator there will be a difference
in level between the source of the
Mississippi and its mouth of one
fourth of fourteen miles, or three
and one-half miles.
But the territory watered bv the
Mississippi has been elevated some
what by the action of volcanic OF
similar forces, and the actual ex-
cess in height of the rivers mouth
is reduced to three miles.
How is it possible for the river
thus to run uphill?

that led to Kidd's being charged with

found himself. For some years Kidd
had been a ~shipmaster sailing out of
New York, and for a time had com

that an English frigate be sent to sup
press the pirates, and not getting it
he decided to fit out a privately owned
ship. He cast about for a captain,
and Robert Livingston, founder of the
New York family of that name, who
was then in London, recommended
Capt. Kidd as the proper man. Kidd
was disinclined to take the position,
but Bellomont intimated that Kfdd's

Thames if he did not, and he yielded.
For two years little was heard from
the Adventure Galley, either in New
York or London. but hat little was
bad. Ships brought stories that Kidd
had turned pirate. One report was
that he had taken a great ship, the
Quedah Merchant, and had left his

1.-THE CENSUJS>>'

The Director of the Census is Edwin Dana Durand, a Michigan man
born in 1871. For two years he legislative librarian of the New York
State Library For another ear he wa assistant professor ofa dninisra-
ton and finance at Stanford University. From 1900 until 1902 he a
secretary of the industrial commission, an for a short time before going
thu census bureau as special expert he was instructor Of economics at
Harvard.
The history of census taking in this country may be divided into three
periods, determined by fundamental acts of Congress. The first of these
extends from 1890 until 1850. During this period the Department of State
had charge of the work, while United States marsha1s and their assistants
supervised and collected the data. In the second period, extending from
1850 until the law of 1902 was passed, the Department of the Interior had
charge of the work The laws of 1902 and 1903 providing for the permanent
organization and changing the bureau frm the Interior Department to that
Of Commerce and Labor mark the beginning of the present epoch.
AS early rs 1910 a attempt to include in the census information per-
tanning 10 manufactures of this. country was made, though it met with little
success. The act of 1850 increased the objects of inquiry to include mines,
manufactures and agriculture, and with each succeeding decade the scope IF
inquiry has been enlarged until the mass of information has become too
heavy to handle with ase, and much of it is out of date before it is put
years after it a begun. The census of 1880 appeared in 1889. For ach
enormous sums of money are spent, thousands of clerks are employed, tons
of lterature distributed.
The four principal reports Of the ems of 1900, those O population,
agriculture, manufacturing and vital statistics, filled ter quarto volumes,
10000 pages If printed matter, and with the special reports sustained the
claim that in the matter of ensus taking the United States leads sin scope
of inquiry, combinations of facts and costs incurred.

car. His other ship, the Quedah Mer
chant, was burned at Hispaniola (San
Domingo) after Kidd's arrest in Bos.
ton. The sloop San Antonio, in which
Kidd came north, was seized in Bos.
ton.
Fanciful stories have been told of
Kids visit to Gardeners Island and
his burial of treasure there. The only
authentic account of his visit there
Is in the testimony of John Gardiner,
given under oath at Boston about
three weeks after Kidd's visit. 1t
makes no mention of the treasure hav-
ing been buried. An official abstract
of Mr.. Gardeners testimony was as
follows:
About 20 days ago Mr.. Emott, of
New York, came to his (Gardiner's)
house and desired a boat to go to New
York; furnished him one; that even
ing he (Gardiner) saw a sloop (the
San Antonio. with six guns riding off
Gardeners )island; two days after
ward in the evening Gardiner went
on board the sloop to inquire what
she was.
When he came on board Capt. Kidd
till then unknown to him. asked him
how himself and family did; said he
was going to Lord BellomOnt at Bos-
negro boys and one negro girl ashore
and keep them until he returned or
his order called for them; about ten

the steamboats, came into more gen.
eral favor.
A few years afterwards attention
was devoted to the building Of power.
full tug boats so that sailing vessels
could be towed up the river against
the current. At one time oxen were
yoked up and driven to the river side,
waiting to assist. In addition to the
oxen there was n horse as leader.
This system prevailed up to tho
year 1882. At that period wharves
did not exist; the boats drew up to
the shore as close as possible and
made fast to piles temporarily driven
in the bank of the river.
The first records of accidents to
steamboats, in the ST. Lawrence are
those of the Waterloo" and John
Bull" The former %foundered in Lake
st. Peter and was replaced by tho
John Bull" a fine boat 100 feet long,
which was burned in 1888. 1t was re-
lated of the latter boat that she
earned more money while at anchor
than while in operation, This arose
out of the fact that she burned 50
much coal that she was Improbable,
but while at anchor was often used az
the official residence of His Excel
lency the Governor-General, Lord Dur

The third steamboat accident Of
which there is a record, was that Of

Der, 1853.
First Iron Steamers.
The first iron steamers came into
use on the st. Lawrence about 1843.
the pioneers of that class being the
Prince Albert" and Iron Duke"
which were used as ferry boats be-
tween Montreal on the one side, and
st. Lambert and Laprairie on the
south shore. This was long before
the Victoria Bridge was built, and
passengers from the south by the
Champlain and st. Lawrence Railway
were landed on the south side ana
were conveyed across the river BY
these steamers. These boats were
built in Scotland and brought out In
sections, being put together in Mont
real.
The year 1S45 saw the advent OF
the Richelieu Steamboat Company,
which was destined to play an impor-
tant part in st. Lawrence navigation
in after. years, much larger than the
o%riginators Of the service ever
dreamed. From the modest beginning
of running some market boats to Sorel
to enable farmers to market their
produce in Montreal, the company has
by sreauy grown anu -unrursnnnnr1Un

After shooting up" the town Tues
day afternoon, two men robbed the
German National Bank of Mineola, Ia.
sixteen miles south of Council Bluffs,
of 81, 900.
When the men stopped shooting they
separated, one going to the zeal of the
bank and the other stepping into the
front door, pushing by Cashier Neff,
who had been attracted to the front by
the shooting. The second man then
entered the bank and started to talk
with the clerk. Milf went back into
his cage, and as he did so the man
who had pushed by him drew a re-
vollver and, pointing it at his head,
crowded in. Mfr grappled with him,
but the man jumped away, sprang into
the cage and picked up a package Of
bills and stepped outside. While the
man who had the money coolly stuffed
1T into a small grip, the second rob-
Der covered both cashier and clerk
with his revolver. Then, bidding the
bank men good day, the two robbers
walked to the front door, closed it be-
hind them, walked down the street
and escaped.

EARTHQUAKE AT PANAMA.

Great Alarm Caused, but No Serious
Danger Has Been Reported.
A strong earthquake was expert
enced in Panama shortly after 8 a. N.
Monday. People were greatly alarmed,
but no serious damage has been re-
ported and no one was injured. The
administration buildings Of both the
government and the canal commission
in Panama and Ancon were shaken
so severely that the clerks left their
desks hurriedly for the street. They
returned, however, when it was seen
that no damage had been done and
that the first shock was not followed
by a second. At A~guadulce, in Cocle
province, and at Pacora, in the prov
ince of Panama. more than. 100 miles
apart, the quake was felt.
