A visitor in Kansas, having list
ened few hours to a few of the
things that State is noted for. sent
the following letter to his home in
the East:
Most OF the Kansas streets are
paved. grains of corn being used for
cobblestones, while the cobs are hol-
lowed out for sewer pipe. The husks
when taken off whole and stood on
end, make nice tent for the child
rem to play in. 1t seems queer to
hear the feed man tell the driver to
take a dozen grains of corn over to
Jackson's livery stable, but that
amount is sufficient to feed many
horses. II it were not for the soft,
deep soil here I don't see how they
could ever harvest the corn, as the
stalks would grow up into the air as
high as Methodist church steeple.
However, when the ears get too
heavy their weight presses the stalk
down in the ground to an average
depth of 92 feet. and this brings the
ear near enough to he ground to be
chopped off with an AK. Often these
sunken stalks are converted into ar
teSian wells"

Close to Earth's Core of Fire.

1t is somewhat startling to think
of going deep enough into the earth
to feel its subterranean heat from the
fires, which, we are told, are never
quenched within. The earth which
is turned up in digging a trench or
foundation is cool and fresh only be-
cause it is near the surface. After
descending comparatively short
distance the increase in temperature
begins, and it grows rapidly warmer
as the depth grows greater.
The deepest coal mine in England is
at Killingworth, near Newcastle, and
the mean annual temperature at four
hundred yards below the surface is
seventy-seven degrees; at three hun
dred yards it is seventy degrees;
while at the surface it is but forty
eight degrees. This is an increase in
this particular place of one degree
for a little over fourteen yards. In
this way the depth of the origin of
hot springs may be estimated, for,
taking sixteen yards-the distance
accepted by scientists-to the de-
gree, it is simple matter to figure
the approximate depth of the boil
ing point, which, however, is always
a variable point, owing to variations
of pressure. With the usual two hun
dred and twelve degrees Fahrenheit
as a basis, it gives three thousand
three hundred and ninety-six yards
as the depth at which boiling springs
probably rise.
The heat of the water at Bath is one
hundred and sixteen degrees; there
fore they rise at probable depth of
one thousand eight hundred and fifty
six yards, or u little over mile.
The famous thermal springs at Hot
Springs, Arkansas, range in temper
ature from seventysiX to one hundred
and tifty-seven degrees Fahrenheit.

WHAT is DRY FARMING?
The Phrase is Misleading by the Present
Definition Of DRY" Territory.

Texas amuses the United States.
The State that, in respect to pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic, is the
vastest dry" area in this country,
seriously objects to the epithet
dry" in the phrase dry farming" "
Half of the State physically is well
wet by Jupiter Pluvius. but the
physically dry half imagines that the
word dry will iniure it.
This is to mistake a cure for a dis
ease. .-.-
The word 'dry" in "dry farming
may not be the clearest and most fe-
licitOus term to express the idea of
farming in comparatively dry re-
giOns. but it is not Objectionable in
itself, nor does it put any stigma on
the soils and lands thus cultivated.
1t merely expresses the same sort of
an idea as the terms semi-arid
and subhumid."
The lands designated as dry, "
'semi-arid" or "subhumid" are nei-
ther bad lands nor rainless lands.
They have soils of amazing depth
and fertility, and enjoy rainfalls that
reach as much as 20 inches a year.
The phrase dry farming" is mislead-
ing and misnomer, for what is
meant is, not farming without water,
but farming lands without usual
amounts of rainfall. The term re-
ally expresses the resourcefulness
and pluck of man as he redeems re-
giOns hitherto unavailable for agri-
culture. The word dry" will never
frighten honest and intelligent farm
erS.

DISEASES CONE FROM TRADES.
BY William Allison Mayson. NJ. D.. il
New York Review.

new York review.
Every man who works for long
time at any one of scores of indust-
rial trade is pretty nearly sure to con-
tract, sooner or later, the bodily dis
ease that is connected with his occu-
patton. Some of these maladies are
mysterious, many are dangerous.
Bakers generally have bad teeth
the flour dust collects in their teeth
becomes acid, and gives rise to a
special kink of decay. Bakers. too,
owing to their irregular life-sleep-
ing in the day and working at night
and because of the hot air and dust
they breathe are great victims of con-
sumption.
Boilermakers lose their hearing
from the continual racket in which
they have to labor.
Those men who work around the
breweries look strong and healthy,
but the beer that they drink ruins
their lives and they generally die
before reaching middle age.
One of the peculiar diseases that
is but temporary in this effect, and to
which a man is immune after having
experienced it once is "brass found
er's ague." Three-quarters of the
new employees of brass foundries ex-
perience it. They have severe chills
and headache, cough q great deal,
and then develop a high fever; the
illness passes in day or so. 1t is
caused by the inhalation of metallic
dust or vapor of zinc or copper.
Blacksmiths suffer from paralysis
OF the entire right side, due to the
continual shock of hammering. and
their eyes become weak from the
glare OF the fire.
Professional cooks are also subject
TO impairment OF the eyeSight; they
have to open oven doors continually
to see how whatever they are baking
or roasting is progressing, and the
outrush of the heated vapor affects
the eyes.
The strong fumes OF naphtha are q
little less deadly than those of chlor.

peculiar to those employed in the
manufacture of this product and those
who use it largely in cleaning estab.

the eczema which covers the hands

to be due to impure alcohol used il

Procession of the EquinOxes.

A Chicago dispatch of the 4th SAYS
that Prof. Cuthbersom, forecaster
at Chicago for the U. S. A. weather
bureau, has exploded the theories
about equinOctial storms. Years ago,
people used to believe that a severe
storm of some sort had to be ex-
pected at such time. Il have been
studying the weather conditions
Tor many years and as yet have never
been able to discover any phenomena
which could be attributed to the
changes of seasons at just the time
when the sun crosses the equator.
Now, while acknowledging that
about all reliable bits of information
extant comes from the colege-bred
profession of the Windy City, we beg
to insist that many laymen have
made just as diligent study and intel
lgent observation of weather condi-
ii )ns and results as those noted reser-
voirs OF wisdom, and there as a re-
currence cOincident with the equi-
noxes. varying but a few days from
the time when the sun crosses the
equator. that for convenience are
called the "equinoctial storms" and
their regular appearance at varying
intervals rather seems to prove than
refute the idea that they are due
to climatic conditions varying with
declination of the moon each month
apd the sun each year, as well as the
changing position of the moon due
to revolution of the line of nodes in
a period of about ten years. Each
of these cause variation in the
rate of procession of the equinoxes
at the time and the position they
would have, if they moved uniformly.
and this is called by astronomers
equation of the equinoxes. If this
is borne in mind. it accounts for the
variation of the equin octial storms,
which may come few days before or
a few day after the sun has apparent
ly crossed the line-from the 21st to
the % days of March and September,
the vernal and autlmal equinoxes, re-
spectively. So this Explosion of the
Theory of Equinoct;al Storms" only
impresses the thoughtful mind with
the accuracy of the calculations and
deductions of those whose occupation
it has been to read and record the
signs of the heavens.
