Finally Got to Fighting.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Phiiadelphia Times.
Bishop Woodcock OF Kentucky was dis-
cussing the southern mountaineers. among
whom he had lived and worked for many
years. The question OF family feuds
was brought up and the bishop related
the following anecdote:
"A certain family had attended q ro-
union which terminated In q free-for- -au
fight. The offenders were taken before
the local justice OF the peace. who ques-
toned an old woman az to tho particulars
OF the fight. Her description was typical
of the mountaineer's attitude towara
strife and bloodshed.
"'Well. Judge she said, lem Lewis
got into an argument with Hank Budds.
Budds smashed yem over the head with
a stick Of cord wood. bursting his head
open. Then Jem's brother elashed Hank
up with q butcher knife. and Lou Barry
shot him through the leg. Larry Slower
went at Lou with an ax. and then, 5u6eo.
we just naturally got to dghting."

Breaking Up Soil With Powder.

From the Manhattan mdustrialist.
It doesn't take long to tear an acre to
pieces with the powder system now being
used in adobe lands. demonstration a
few days ago on the college farm showed
how thoroughly the ground was broken
up. Whether tho process IL to be success
f,il is still to be proved. e. r. Angast
has charge Of the work now being done.
In ground to be used for an orchard Mr..
AnEast had holes bored-196 to the acre
Afteen feet apart The charges put into
these were connected with wires. Three
rows, about twelve or fifteen charges
were fired at one time. The tough adobe
was cracked from hole to hole: large
pieces rose twenty-five or thirty feet into
the air. The ground was In fairly good
condition to plow, but It will be even
better after frost has laid its softening
influence upon 1t.
It costs about SIS an acre for the pow
der and possibly $3.50 or 4275 for the
labor.

Two Hundred Million Tons Of Soda.
From the Evening Wisconsin.

otOm tne Evenlu8 WtbcouSan
Reliable information adds to the won
ders Of East Africa q soda lake whose
area is about thirty square miles. The
deposit at Magadi Is divided into distinct
layers Of soda the topmost being ten
inches thick. Imagine q lake filled with
solid soda instead OF water. The surface
Is hard and resembles pink marble. Dur
ing the short rainy season the lake Is COW
cred over by a few inches Of water, which
quickly disappears when the season is at
an end. Like everything else, this sim
gular formation has a mother" The ma
tives say when q block Of soda Is removed
tho ''mother liquor" rises to the surface
and at once begins to form q fresh crust.
You may thus work the same spot year
after year and procure the material
freshly made. The British expedition
bored q hole about nine feet deep, and
found crystals all the way. They believe
the formation Is solid. Even q depth Of
nine feet would mean 2o0,00Oo00 tons.

WHAT IS TO BECOME OF

Real Estate Men, Noting Senator Clark

Of New York In making q proper tax

senator Clark did not object to the 1908
assessment, but when the valuation
steadily mounted upward he did voice
a protest and only last week formal
nstttion was presented In court In an ef-
fort to have the assessments against the
mouse reduced. According to Senator
C1arlr's statement his 5th avenue home is
actually worth 81 100000. and he declared
that the usual ratio Of assessment would
