Sheep as Land Cleaners.

In discussing the value Of sheep on
country place their service as land
cleaners should not be ignored. They
like pasture grasses. but they seem to
like weeds and bushes even better for
browse. They will often clean up an
old field in year or two, so that what
was tangle or unsightly weeds and
shrubs will appear smooth shaven
lawn. Angoras are simply wonders at
this sort of thing. but the common
everyday sheep Of the ordinary breed
will do mighty good work if you con-
fine her to her job and put in enough
of her. Five years ago one small pas
ture of mine was veritable chaparral
Of thorn, bushes and solidago set
the ewes in it. and today it's as pretty
bit of sward as there is on the ranch

turfed.-Country Life In America.

Alive Under an Avalanche.

Human beings occasionally live.
through Incredibly long imprisonments
after their dwellings have been over
whelmed by avalanches. On March
10, 1855, avalanches buried the village
of Bergemoletto, in the Italian Alps.
and on April Is three women were dug
out alive from stable in which they
had been immured for thirty
days in the dark beneath the mass Of
Snow which lay forty-tWo feet higher
than the roof. With them had been
buried a little boy, six goats. a donkey
and some hens.
The child. the donkey and the fowls
soon died, but the goats helped the
women to survive, their milk supple
menting the thirty or forty cakes and
the pocketful Of chestnuts upon which
they depended for food. Hope Of find
ing the women alive had been aban-
doned when far In April the brother
Of one had dream in which she ap-
pealed to him for rescue, f

cavation possible. and the women were
restored to the world and presently to

Dew as Drinking Water.

The English administration at Gibral-
tar, where water is very scarce, col
lects dew by the following very sim
pie, method: A large pit is dug in the
earth and covered with dry wood or
straw. which in turn is covered either
with earth or with sheet iron. The
straw or wood serves as heat in
sulator and effectually prevents the
conduction of heat from the ground to
the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more rap
idly than the ground, so that it's tenn
perature soon falls below the dew
point of the surrounding air; hence
dew is formed upon the iron or the
layer Of earth in very large quantities
The water thus obtained is drained off
into reservoirs and after Qualification
is used for drinking.-Scientific Amer.

Report of Comptroller of Currency In
dictates Past Twelve Months Was a
Period of Growth for Banking Insti-
tutions-VoIune of Business for
1910 Shows Large Gain Over That
of 1909.
Washington, Dec. 13.-Another year
of prosperity and solid growth for
American banks is recorded in the
annual report of the comptroller of
the currency, just presented to con-
gress. Not only the national banks,
which come directly under the control
and supervision of the currency bu-
reau, are included in the comprehen-
sive review of banking conditions, but
state banks, savings banks, trust COM
panies and other financial institu-
lonesome 1880 others-are repre-
scented.
During the fiscal year of 1910 the
combined resources of the 1000 ma
tional banks of the United States grew
to approximately $1,ooo,o0o,o0O. On
Sept. 1 last their loans and discounts
had reached the immense sum of S.
100000, 000-an amount never before
eQualed in the history of the national
banking system since it's creation in
1854. At the same time they were
counting nearly $30,000,000' of over
drafts in their assets, a practice which
there is no law to stop.
Combining all other banks in the
United States and it's island posses
sions with those of the national sys-
tenn, and allowing an estimate for
those not reported, it is evident from
the comptroller's report that the bank
ing power of the nation has grown in
the last ten years from 1897 of all
sorts of banks, with capital of ST.
150,000,000 and individual deposits of
$769S,000,000, to more than $1,000
banks with combined capital close to
$2,000,000,000 and individual deposits
of nearly $16,0OO,OO0,000 The depos-

more than a decade and in the same
time the combined loans and dis
counts have grown to more than $12,-
000,OO0,OOO. -.
The volume of business is reflected
in reports which have been assembled
from 137 clearing house exchanges,
showing combined clearings of $780,,
000,000,000 for the year ended on
Sept. 80, as against $158,S00,000 900
for 1909.
