Caste Is an impossible Barrier to Pro-
gress in India.

First of all caste is a question of
birth, ana there is no entry except by
birth. A worker in a coal mine may

daughter marry peer, and his grand
son become a peer I'm England. / can

whose millions seat themselves at the
dinner tables of the Brahman class in
America. But no millions will enable
the low caste in Hindu to marry into a
Brahman family or even to touch the
hand or throw his shadow on the foot
of Brahman I'm India.
If man is accommodated by his
caste fellows I'm India, no one of the
caste will eat with him except water

There is no legislation, no police

no meeting of municipal or district
councils, no appointment to office small

OUR UNDERGROUND WATERS.

Water is found in some amount in
ace, from the loosest and most porous
sands and gravels to the hardest Slate
and granite. The amount varies from
the merest trace chemically in the mol
'ecules of the rocks to immense reser-
voirs which supply wells flowing humid
reds of thousands of gallons a day.
Some waters are so pure that refined
chemical analysis shows only minute
traces of organic and mineral matters;
others are so heavily charged with
minerals or other impurities as to be
unsuitable for use.
The slope of the surface at any point
is one factor determining the amount
of water absorbed by the ground The
direction and amount of slope also de-
termne the form of the water table
that is. of the upper limit of satura-
ton Except where the surface is fiat
the water table is generally not paral =
lei with the surface; ii Is almost in

coast. reaching the surface in swamps
and along rivers lakes and beaches.
The surface Of the water table is al

flowing toward the lowest outlets along
rivers or the sea. This direction OF
flow explains why fresh water is usu-
ally found when well is dug in a

TESTS OF BAD WATER.
Many Lives in Michigan Towns Saved
BY u. of M.

ny os " w.
Ann Arbor. Mich. Sept. 11.-What
do, they do in the hygienic laboratory
when they test out water to see if it's
pure?
That's a question that's often asked
the doctors in charge of the labora-
partment of the University of Michi-
gan, to which. all the year around,
and especially in summer time, sam
pies of water are sent for analysis
from all parts of the state.
It's a long process, and complicated.
These experiments have greatly reduc-
ed the number of deaths by bad water
When city and town authorities are
skeptical as to the purity of their city
water-when they are fearful of an ep-
idemic of typhold-when perhaps GER
tain cases of that dreaded fever have
broken out in a town, and the physi-
clans are unable to account for its
presence-then they send a sample of
the drinking water to the u. of NJ.
The tests include an analysis of the
physical properties. a chemical analy
sis microscopical and meteorological
examinations and incubation expert
ments with subsequent examination.
The physical properties which are ex
Iamined are "color. odor, reaction and
hardness" stand tube is filled with
water and the depth TO which a sus-
pended aluminium wire can be seen
therein measures the degree of color.
TO test the reaction of the water, lit
is acid the paper remains its original
pink; IL alkaline, it becomes blue. The
test for hardness is much the same as
that known to every housewife-tho
amount of soap necessary to make n
lathor. The presence or absence OF
odor is determined after evaporation
at 10 degrees centigrade.
In the chemical analysis the residue
from a known quantity of water is
weighed and measured I'm parts per mill
lion. Then the residue Is burned thus
eliminating the organic matter. and the
Inorganic matter is then analysed.
| The amount of chlorine is determined
by putting a standard solution of sill
yer nitrate into the water: the amount
of organic matter by the quantity Of
potassium permangate which IL will
decolorize. Nitrates are determined by
other coloration methods.
The meteorological examination is
begun by putting a measured amount
of water on an agar plate. usually
about fifteen drops. The plate of glass
is then covered with agar, which hard

The water is mixed with this and in 1t

deep regret OF the church over the
withdrawal of Mr.. Burns from ac-
tive participation in the business af-
fair OF the organization The Pas,
tor, Rev. w. l.. Reid, spoke appro-
priately and with much feeling on
the subject and Mr.. Burns respond
ed in his own impressive and fitting
manner.
While the attention of the au-
dienee was centered upon these
proceedings a fine chair was carri-
ed irto the rear of the church and
set in MIR, Burns favorite place neal

OF the addresses Mr.. Burns was es-
corted to the new chair and II was

Comes Near Winning in Contest at
State University.

The Union Literary Society of
State University, Lexington, recent
ly held q declamatory contest in
the University Chapel in which
there were several contestants.
Among them was Herbert Holbrook
Moore, of this county. Those who
heard Mr.. Moore speak during the
anniversary meeting of the Law
renee County Sunday School Asso-
citation will not be surprised to
hear that he won second place and
honorable mention from the Presi-
dent of the University, but they
are surprised that the first honor
and medal were not bestowed up
on him. President Barker. congrat-
ulated Mr.. Moore and predicted for
him career of which Kentucky
would be proud. One could see
from the published account of the
occasion that in theme and deliv-
cry Mr.. Moore fell but little short
of the winner. His friends may
justly feel proud Of him.

Head Carried Fifty Miles.

The tragic death of Boyd Patter-
son an engineer on the Norfolk
and Western railroad, that occurr-
ed at Kenova some time Thursday
night, of last week, was one of
the most sickening affairs OF the
kind that has occurred in this sec
tion.
1t is now believed that he wan
dered around and sat down on the
track when he was run over by an
engine attached to a train and lit
orally ground to pieces. The diff
ferent members of his body were
found scattered along the railroad
for many yards, the trunk of the
body having been stripped of all Its
members, including the head, which
was carried so miles on the pilot
of the engine before 1t was discoy-
ed.

A BOY killed.
Son Of Vim. SpTengeT Of Ashland, REn
Down by Engine.

On Saturday last the morning
train from this place TO Ashland
struck boy near the underground
crossing at the upper end OF the
city and killed him almost instantly.
The lad. who was about 10 years
old, was walking eastward on the
ends OF the ties, with his head down
as though watching his steps on
the ties, and did not see the train
until too late. The boy was the son
OF William sprenger, an Ashland po-
liceman, and formerly a C. and o.
and O. fireman. He was firing for
Bolivar Wesley when the accident
occurred near Graves Shoals sever
al years ago when the engine went
through trestle and both men were
nearly killed. Oddly and sadly
enough the engine which struck the
Sprengor boy Saturday was driven
by Mr. Wesley.

The Ashland Independent says:
A stranger giving his name as
Frank Anderson, was arrested on
suspioion-or, rather, on a loiter-
ing charge-by the local police one
night last week and locked up in
the city jail.
Owing to the fact that a guam
tity of postage stamps of various
denominations, were found on his
person, he was believed to have
been connected with postoffice
robbery somewhere. Saturday he
confessed to City Attorney C. R.
Levi that he had robbed the post
office at Lower Greasy, Johnson-co,
The postal authorities were at once
notified, and Monday afternoon In
spector Geo. r. Hill, of Cincinnati,
came here and interviewed Ander-
son, The prisoner said he was
from Norton, Va, and that he and
John Jones, of Lindell, Va, rob
bed the Lower Greasy office one
week ago Saturday night.
Inspector Hin took the stamps,
and went to Lower Greasy last
evening, returning here today, and
reported that Anderson's story was
correct, and he was unquestionably
gully, verifying his confession. Mr..
Hill left today, but will return shor,
