his admiration Of his great adversary,
Napoleon, by having portraits Of him
in different parts OF the house. At the

the colossal statue Of the emperor by
Canova. 1t was Of marble in the an

A Curious Structure.

On the road from Clifton downs TO
Avonmouth the traveller will pass, in
the Avon gorge, a curious structure to
which a singular tradition is attached,
relates the London Taller. The story
Is that a person named Cook about a
century ago was told by a gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he reach
ed the age Of twenty-One. To avert
this he built high tower and shut his
son in the topmost room with the in
tentiOn Of secIuding him there until the
fatal age was passed. However, by ac-
cident a viper was taken up in a fagot
to the room to light the fire, and 1t
crept from the fagOt and bit the boy
so that he died. Therefore the tower
was called Cooks Folly, and that is its
name to this day, whatever is the true
explanation.

CHlNA'S GRAND CANAL.
At Times 1t Holds Water Enough to
Float Boats, but Usually They
Are Dragged Over Mud Banks.

OF some of the crude and outgrown
methods used on China's Grand canal
a writer in the North China Daily
News remarks: THE junction Of the
real canal with the Wei river was not
by means OF lock, but simply q high
and steeply slopIng mud bank, over
which the grain vessels had to be
dragged by the force Of perhaps many
hundreds Of men. 1t should be borne
in mind that in China the lock Of q
canal Is not much more like our idea
Of what that name connOtes than # is
like a paddock. Amid constant and
often serious changes Of level, with an
uncertain and not infrequently a
scanty supply Of water, and with a
grain feet which Travelled in blocks Of
some eighty vessels under one officer,
It was necessary to devise some way
for keeping them together and for
transferring them as a consolidated
unit with this in view.
"For this reason a Chinese lock on
the Grand canal is nothing but stone
gateway into which large boards may
be lowered through a groove In the
stones, restraining most of the water
from It's flow, until there Is a depth
sufficient to float all the craft, when
the boards are pulled up and the en-
tire feet passes through.
~After this the boards are again
lowered for another division Of the
grain boats. In case the water gives
out-a by no means unlikely occur
rence-there is nothing to do but to
wait until more comes from some
where"

EFFECT OF SILT ON ALFALFA
Injuries Resulting From Hard Crust
Formed Over the Surface Of
Irrigated Flelds.

The silt.laden waters of the rivers
OF the southwest during periods OF
high water In time form crust over
the surface Of irrigated alfalfa fields.
The soil formed by such rivers Is
naturally impervious. and when
coating Of fine sediment is deposited
around the plants the effect Is injurt-
GUS. particularly to young plants.
which may be killed az a result, not
withdrawing the fertilizing value OF
the silt. In irrigating with water car
rying much silt the larger and heavier
particles are deposited In the chan.
nels which convey the water from the
streams while the finer and lighter
particles are carried to the fields.
These fine PARTICLES cement together
and form so hard crust when dry as
to exclude both air and moisture from
the soil.
Engineers may in time devise q
practical remedy for this evil by build
ing settling basins and storage reser-
voirs. but ut present the tendency OF
many officers Of canal companies is to
increase the grade OF the channels so
as to carry the greater part of the
silt to the fields. This does not solve
the problem: It merely shifts the bur
den to the water users. To such. disk.
ing the surface at the proper time has
proved the most efficient remedy. An
effort is made to secure well water
or clear ditch water while the alfalfa
Is young and later to counteract the
bad effects of muddy water by the
free use of the disk.
Disking alfalfa is quite generally
practised now throughout the west. 1t
is generally done In the spring as
soon as the ground is hard and firm
and before the growth has started.
When field Is disked a second time
in the same season 1t Is done when
the stubble is short. Just after the re-
moval of the crop. The disks should
be set nearly straight. SO as to stir
but not overturn the soil. The spring
tooth harrow Is used also but its
tendency is to tear up the ground too
much. Perhaps the best implement
for this purpose is the spike disk har-
row or alfalfa renovator. as 1t Ia some
times called. in which spiked wheels
are substituted for the ordinary con-
cave disks.
Disking not only breaks UP the i'm
pervious layers formed by muddy wa
ter, but 1t splits the old root crowns,
thickens the stand. destroys weeds.
checks evaporation. and mixes the
dead leaves Of previous crops with the
top layer of soil.
