clared:

N. Fl. Darton, of the Geological Sur
vey, is gaining reputation as the
champion water finder of the world. He
has been astonishingly successful in
finding water at many places and at the
depths he predicted. His latest and
greatest achievement was in telling the
engineers that they would find water at
a depth of 5000 feet in the Deadwood
sandstone at Edgemont, S. d. The bor-
ing was started, and met with such OBJ
stacles that the work at times was on
the point Of being abandoned, but the
engineers faith in Darton triumphed.
At 2.695 feet great stream was struck,
which yields 100000 gallons of water a
day and is priceless to the country, since
there is no other well nearer than 60
miles and all the water used has had to
be hauled in tank cars.

Great Britain seems far ahead of US
in the use of motor vehicles for drays,
delivery wagons. trucks and carts. This
Is probably because of the much higher
price of horses. Yet there is the most
remarkable advance in this country in
the use of these vehicles. for which our
English cousins have the very conven-
lent name of "Iorries" More than 18O
manufacturers are engaged in the busi-
ness, and one can now purchase a neat
little delivery wagon, to carry from 500
to 1000 pounds. for $500. "LorriesI
carrying 10000 pounds cost as high as
$1,000.

The direct primary bill was defeated
by close vote in each House of the
New York Legislature. Where the
primary system has been tried it has
failed to Justify the loud promises of
its promoters that it would be a cure
for all of our political evils. The gem
eral consensus is that it has brought
more corruption and decentralization in
to politics than was known before. The
defeat of the bill shows that reaction
is setting in against the theories which
political empires are so prolific in.

All competent observers think that
we are on the eve of general dis
placement of horse-drawn vehicles by
gasoline trucks or "lorries.' as the
English call them. One thing that is
making much in this direction Is the
spreading out of the cities. which re-
quires prompt delivery of goods over
greater distances than can be covered
by horse power. The grocery or other
store that can send its goods by gaso-
line wagons will have decided advan-
tage over competitors who use horses.
Next III the large cities there is q diff
Guilty in securing suitable stabling, and
the price OF feed is steadily advancing.
The more asphalt pavements there are
the better for the lorry and the worse
for the horse. The Introduction of the
lorry will greatly relieve the congestion
in centers of the big cities, since a lorry
will carry several times as much as a
horse-drawn truck, and does not take
up nearly so much room.

So far about all we have learned
about Halley's comet is that 1t has a

this was not merely reflected light.
