PLAY WAITED TWENTY YEARS.
Augustus Thomas Tells Why He Wrote
 "The Witching Hour.'

An interesting fact about ''The Witch ing Hour" not generally known to the public is that it's preparation actually be- gan more than a score of years ago, and reflects, in a way, the awakening and growth of public interest in those themes which the play now exploits-telepathy, hypnotism, suggestion and other phenom- ena associated with the dynamic side of thought, says the author, Augustus Thomas, in the February Delineator.

 My impression that play could be writ ten on the subject communicated to MT. A.

 Peppermint is grown from roots which are planted in furrows three feet apart after the soil has been deep ly plowed and carefully narrowed These roots, usually from one-eighth to three-quarters of an inch thick and about two feet in length, are placed in the flrrows so as to form a continuous line.

THE WORLDS GREATEST
 WATERWORKS PROJECT

Only a trained engineer can appreciate the herculean proportions of the Ashokan dam and Catskill aqueduct project which is to supply New York City with pure water, writes Lincoln Marshall in the FebruaryVan Norden-The World Mirror. To the layman the figures are bewildering. One hundred and sixty-two millions of dollars, the total cost. That is more read fly said than comprehended. Close to q hundred miles of concrete aqueduct seven teen feet high and six inches wide! That, too, is hard to grasp. And o0000.00O gal Ions of water flowing through that aque- duct every day. The ordinary imagina- tion balks right there.
 For centuries the marvellous reservoirs and aqueducts which gave Rome its water supply have been the wonder of mankind Ashokan reservoir-twelve miles long and two miles wide, with water surface of ten thousand acres and a capacity of 120,00O, 100000 gallons of water-will make ancient and modern efforts of this kind pale into insignificance. The Catskill aqueduct will be large enough to accom- modate an primary railroad train, easily, and will carry thirty times as much water as all the aqueducts of Rome.
 To accomplish this task eight villages will be erased from the map. The peace full farm houses, stores, railroad tracks, roadS-all must go. Tn lSlo, II present indications are correct, these villages will be superseded by a great stretch of water. and the places where the children once played on their way to school will be from twenty to a hundred feet below the surface.
 A whole town has sprung up-with houses, stores, a bank, churches, clubs a model town in every sense, but one that will disappear just as soon as the work is done. And a corps of more than seven

Woman,s ur,laue Farm.

From Harper s W eeklN-
 In the southwestern part of the state of Michigan lives a woman who earns a livelihood by conducting a farm of a unique type, the raising of peppermint. Forty acres are under cultivation, and each yields annually profit of $40, and often half again as much when the price of peppermint oil rises. It fuetuates between $1 and S5 per pound, but the product may generally be held for a favorable price.
 The best land for a peppermint farm is reclaimed swamp land, although any low ground that is sufficiently fertile will answer the purpose. Every five years the crop should be changed, or else the peppermint will exhaust the soil to such an extent that a profitable yield cannot be obtained. Fifty pounds of oil to the acre may generally be produced for each of four consecutive

 About the middle of August the first crop is in full bloom and ready for cut ting and a month later a second cut ting may be made. The hay is then thrown into windrows and left until it is thoroughly dry, when it is ready to be run through a still and the oil ex- tracted. To produce one pound of oil requires at least 325 pounds of dry hay, but unless the soil is well fertil- ized the crops will rapidly deteriorate

 MT. Palmer and I had more than one reading and discussion of the little sketch. but, partly because there was no demand for one-act play, and partly because MT. Palmer still adhered to his belief that the public would not understand the theme, no production was made of the play.

 member, the picture represents the scene after the battle of Sedan, and shows the Emperor William l., Bismarck, Moitke and the Crown Prince Frederick riding over the battlefield. The En- peror and the Crown Prince are repre- scented as trampling the French flag un- der foot All French visitors to the reichstag regarded the picture as an af- front to their nation, and angry articles appeared in the leading French news papers at the beginning of the session, when the picture was seen for the first time With the exception of Chauvin- ists, Germans, too regarded the picture as a violation of good taste, and the ma jority in the imperial legislature demand ed it's removal, which the president of the chamber has ordered to be carried out.
 After the recent political crisis, which terminated on November IT with the En- peror's acceptance of the popular de- mands and pledge to observe greater l 4TeSeTNo IOr the IuIure, IL was freely stated that a great national outburst of indignation would follow any attempt on the part of the Kaiser to resume his former role. Although the whole country was now aware that the Kaiser emerged from his retirement on New Years Day. and made another astonishing speech, there are no signs of national indigna- ton. On the contrary, some of the leading conservative newspapers includ- ing Die Post" declare that the Elm peror, in identifying himself with the contents of Count Schliffen's article in the "Deutsehe Revue" voiced the sentiments of the German people. Another influential conservative organ, the "Deutsche Tag eszeitung," thinks that the imperial ut- terance was ill-advised. The Pan-Ger- man organ. the "Rhenish westphalian Gazette publishes 8 vigorous criticism of the Emperor as follows:
 Although we thoroughly approve of the article itself aJd agree absolutely with its political tendency, we regret deeply that the Kaiser should have iden- tif1ed himself with such opinions. Peo- pie will ask what the Emperor really does think It will be remembered that in recent interview he described himself as England's best friend who has done
 and would do everything possible to maintain friendly relations with her. In Count Schliffens article England is de- scripeu as an 1mplacable enemy Will King Edward regard this as d friendly welcome to Berlin? What will be said about the imperial frankness in Italy, France and Russia? When we consider all these aspects of the matter We are bound to regret that the imperial utter ance has become public. We are bound to assume that this happened against the kalsers own wishes. But if the Kaiser desires to speak so frankly about the extremely eli i,,E l,o must take care that his words remain secret.

COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE
By MALCOLM CLARKE.

Berlin. January 30.-Evidenee is afford
 ed daily of Germanys remarkable prog
 ress in the construction of an aerial fleet.
 The firm or Siemens & sehuelert have almost completed the construction of
 new large Barseval airship, and the zep pelin Airship Construction company al i Friedrichshafen has begun the new year with staff of four engineers and 90
 workmen. The technical staff and the
 number of workmen will be largely in ! creased in the spring when the construc- ton of several new airships of the Zep pelin type will be begun.
 The German war office has decided to establish a military aerial station
 near the Zeppelin works at Friedrichs-
 hafen, and the chiefs of the military l ballooning department Major Gross and ' Captain Won Jena, are going to Fried richshafen in few days to supervise
 the erection of the necessary sheds. The airship Zeppelin I. really the third air ship constructed by Count Zeppelin), will be the first airship stationed here and
 barracks will be built near the arship shed for the accommodation of a detach-
 ment of the balooning corps
 Major Won Frankenberg, president of the German Aero club publishes detailed proposals for the erection of signals by
 which aeronauts, when travelling in mid
 air. can ascertain their position.
 Major Won Frankenberg' proposes that l huge signboards shall be placed on the roofs of church towers and high build ings, with a certain code of signals, vis- ibe from airships aloft. inscribed upon them. Aeronauts would then carry a sig nal code book, enabling them to decipher the meaning of the signals seen below
 them. Major Won Frankerberg further l proposes that these signals shall be H. luminated at night in such a way that l they will be visible to aeronauts during l the hours of darkness, and that the l frontiers of different countries shall be l made visible by the same method of sig mailing. The technical subcommittee of l the German Aero club will shortly con- duct experiments to test the value of such signals.

sion In other papers of the merits and

that the existence OF any feature" Of
