Drilling With Diamonds.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is quite an expensive article. Its value. however. will undergo fluctuations. de pendent upon the price Of the dia monds. Perhaps $500 is a fair value for a bit The diamond used Is ex. ceedingly hard-harder than those usually used as jewelry. Their carat price Is considerable. averaging. say. y60 carat. The diamonds used will weigh from one to two carags. so that eight have a value ranging from S4SO to S96O. on the average. The loss oi a bit means SO many diamonds gone and may lead to difficulty with the hole. The diamond Is not tough. but brittle. It will withstand heavy pressure if applied evenly and with out shock. IL can readily be seen that drilling through seamy rock may be- come quite unfavorsbie. If tbero Is much quartz present the abrasion may become excessive. Under ordinary conditions. however. the wear on the diamonds. while considerable. Is by no means prohibitiye.-Cassier's Mag az!ne.

 Louise looked at him steadily ''Where would you take mel" she asked.
 You need not be afraid. he said
 If you please then. she consented you may drive me"
 Before they had gone half mile the rain was upon them, flashing in al all sides
 There's an old barn at the end oi this lane," the vagabond said. q passed 1t this morning. We might make a run for it."
 As they gained the shelter the storm burst in all It's fury.
 Well. said Louise. resignedly. q don't know whether anybody will ever find ms or not Do you think you could make a run for it and get the hamper? We could have our lunch"
 He brought the big basket back and they sat in the open door and ate Of the good things
 Louise noticed that her companion had the manners of a gentleman Her curiosity getting the better of her she asked: 'How-does it happen that you are here?"
 'I like It." he said. Then he leaned toward her and sang to an air of Schqberts;

 And the by-way nigh me. Bed in the bush with stars to see

 You have not always lived like this" she said
 No; back in my boyhood shere were school. and college, and some years of study for a profession. But l couldn't stand it-I am rover by nature"
 He spoke of his travels after that. and she listened. fascinated Balfour had never charmed her thus. He talked of himself. while this man talked of places. Of theories.
 When the storm had passed. they met Balfoar struggling back over muddy road. He eyed the vagabond with suspicion. and glared at Louise. when at parting she asked her road.

WHAT'S GOING ON
 AT M'NEIL, NEW TOWN

That MeNeil, the growing settle ment on the Courtland railroad Is destined to become one of the prosperous agricultural sections of the Sulphur Springs valley is the belief of c. E. Bolton. the promi- nent resident of that place. who was in Douglas yesterday. Mr. Bolton says that the crops were not all that could be desired this year, still here were several good yields of cane. milo maize and beans. Crops would have been excellent had not the drought caught them dur ing the latter part Of July and the first of August
 In he vicinity of McNell many Of the settlers are now installing pumping plants and Mir Bolton is confident that they will be able 10 successfully cultivate their land by pumping water for irrigation The lift Of the water varies from thirty to eighty feet. The price Of gasO- line has heretofore been 20 cents per gallon which makes pumping costly, but now new engine is under consideration which will be run by crude oil at 6 cents per gal lon.
 The residents Of McNen and Whitewater have combined in the organization of farmers assOcia- ton and a stock company has been organized for the purpose Of estab- fishing a cannery there next year on a small scale for preserving corn pumpkins and beans Mir. Bolton is the secretary of the farmers as. sociation and also Of the canning company He also keeps the gov ernment record Of rain fall at MeNeil and says that the fall this year has been nineteen inches. much in excess of last year.
 While much Of the rain came toe late to produce the best crops it made a splendid grass crop for the cattle ranges, but it was not sufn- cient 10 produce very muck wild hay which was SO plentiful last year and the year before.
 Mir. Bolton says that the dry farm ing method has proven failure in this valley. but that the pump irri gatiOn he regards as feasible and destined to successfully cultivate many of the fertile acres of the valley in the future. where water can be had within 90 to 75 feet of the surface
