The Tour Abroad.
From Harper's Weekly.


The best type of car for European tour
ing Is a light one of medium horse
power with room for four. Suit cases may
be carried in these cars. but trunks must
be sent ahead by express. car that
will turn very short is the best. because
some of the curves on the mountain
passes are no curves at all but an acute
angle with a drop of a thousand or more
feet just beyond the stone-posts along
the edge of the road. A light car also re-
quires less gasoline per hundred miles
Shipping the car by steamer from New
York is, of course, expensive, but the
freight rates by the slow boats are about
one fourth what they are by the fast mail
steamers. Before shipping, therefore, it is
we'll to get prices from the various lines
and select the one which seems most de-
sirable. 1t costs less to ship an auto
mobile to Great Britain than to ports on
the continent Some motorists of long ex-
perience prefer to begin their trip at Ma
Piles and end it with tour Of Great
Britain There is as much proportionate
difference in the cost Of carrying a car
across the English channel as there is of
bringing it over the Atlantic. The fast
turbine steamers charge as much as $50
for carrying q car across from England
to France, while the rate on the night
boats from Southampton to Havre is So.
But there is a line from London to Bou-
logne which sails three times a week and
charges only S. for car Of average size.

CHEAP LAND CLEARING.
Something That the Fathers Could
Not Have Done.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The problem Of land clearing In the
most inexpensive method possible, and
one which can be used by the man en-
deavoring TO make home for himself
on logged-off land, Is one of first i'm
portance in this state. In western Wash
ington there are great areas of good
land, with fertile soil. admirably adapted
to vegetable and fruit growing and to
dairying, lying idle and held at low
prices because of the expense of reduc-
ing Ii to cultivation. While this condi-
ton of affairs exists, western Washing
ton imports largely the vegetab les, the
fruit and the dairy products which ii
consumes. Yet few acres under intensive
cultivation here will bring larger net re-
turns than the quarter-sectiOn farm of
the northern prairie states.
In the neighborhood Of Arlington a par
tial solution Of the problem of clearing
land cheaply has been found in the use
of gasoline engines, equipped with cables
and drums. What can be done with this
equipment is shown in the experience of
one farmer, recorded by a correspondent
of this newspaper With gasoline en-
CINE of local construction and with the
assistance of his two sons a farmer liv-
ing near that town cleared twenty acres
Of land and took out every stump during
one season. The time devoted to this
work was only that which could be
spared from the management of dairy
farm, on which twenty cows were MIXED,
the cows, by the way, netting 500
month during the time spent in clearing.
While success has been had with other
methods of clearing land. such as the
charring process, which requires no ex-
pensive equipment, the fact appears to
be that for quick work the best results
have followed the use of the donkey en-
CINE, either that of the logging type or
the more modern gasoline engine. On
the particular farm in question the ac-
tual expenditures for gasoline and oil
were but $50. But the principal trouble
with the donkey engine method is the
first cost of the equipment. At that, after
the land is cleared. 1t is altogether prob
able that a gasoline engine would remain
a valuable and useful part of the farm
machinery, would be worth its cost for
farm purposes and be in daily use.

ENToMBEO MINER RESCUED
Joseph cIary Brought to Surface From
Tomb in Mine.

Joplin, Mo-Joseph Clary, impris-
oned by cavein at the White Oak
mine near Joplin since last Sunday
morning, was reached by rescuers
Wednesday. He was still alive and
we'll. When the last spadefuls OF
earth were removed by workmen in
the shaft and they dropped into the
drift, C1ary threw himself into their
arms and wept while the shouts OF
thousands cheering at the mouth OF
the mine echoed down the shaft.
Three workmen were digging in the
narrow shaft. The bottom suddenly
gave way and they dropped into the
drift. A glare of light flashed in on
the entombed Clary and he looked
upon fellow beings after period in
darkness, which, though reckoned by
him to be something over four days,
was really exactly three days and for
ty-fiye minutes.
Clary is % years of age, the SON of
a pioneer mine operator, who has di-
rected the rescue work without rest
since his sons Imprisonment.
When it was found that Clary was

gers redoubled their efforts and the
drift was reached hours earlier than
expected.
