We maintain in the state speciai department which dbsorbs about e2j,0O0 d year. and it would not be easy to estimate the total amount which rabbit destruction has cost pub licly and privately. A srra. deal has been done to diminish tn" extent of the ravages from this cause, but with favorable seasons there iS such d re- vival Of the numbers that a renewal of ;he difficulty always threatens
 Thus. at the present time there are parts of the state liable to be overrun by the pest. and farmers are complain ing bitterly of the losses inflicted on them. The Upper Murray district in the neishborhood of CudcWa and Cor ryong. has been described as a huge rabbit warren: in the Rochester dis triCt the new settlers find themselves called upon to face an unexpected diff ficuity. and the MorninGtOn peninsula K very bad.

This modern agriculturist and his wife. who had been "contendinG with the soil and weeds and vegetation" 7" meet on the porch Of their nome and the following conversation takes place:
 What have you been following that you appear SD taxed with heat?" the wife began
 Il have been viewing the estates to ascertain the promise of the crops" " returned the husband. The maize is flourishing and the fields are beauti- full with the rows of green by which they are adorned. And now that the cultivator is at work. it makes one surmise that with a moderate season our fertile acres will prosper bounti- fully. The condition of the soil is fine and the boys are performing graceful work Blessed days are these and the spears of all that is green rise up to be caressed by the mildness of the sun.

"OLD BENZ

A new book by the author of Toby Tyler is certain of warm welcome. This tale of the ten-y year-old boy who ran away to join a circus deals en- gagingiy with subject that every boy delights in--for what boy has not at onc time or another wanted to be a circus performer? Subsequently the author. James otis, wrote d sequel. MT Stubbs. Brother" which was al
 most as popular as the famous Toby Tyler" Now comes third book about Toby and his friends. entitled old Ben" IL has just been pub
 lshed by the Harpers. The pictures by Sarah Noble Ives are excellent and the original Toby will be recog- EiZed. Ben the old circus driver
 comes to live in Toby's home town and brings with him the living skel- eton and the fat lady-Mr. and Mrs. Treat. Of course this creates great excitement among the boys in the village. who are all anxious to join the circus. despite Toby's experiences. and hope that Ben has come to en- gage them. Their efforts to attract his attention by showing off on ev- cry occasion and the doings of the monkey. MT. Stubbs' Brother" sup ply an abundance of fun. MT Treat and his wife. Lily. are as amusing as ever. and they with old Ben give a distinct flavor of character to the tale. Moreover. there is plenty of real boy life in it. one boy has passion for turning handspringS. and regards himself as promising acrobat. An other has an opinion of himself as II musician based upon a rudimentarY knowledge of the accordion. which is not shared by his family and friends So one turns handsprings and tn. other produces doleful strains n season and out. in the hope of being roticed by old Ben. who nearly eX- pires in his spasms of silent laughter

able engineering organization in the world, engaged in one of ahe greatest undertakings in the world. except per hapS the Panama canal and it is not far behind that job in size as some two million dollars a month is being spent in construction. the whole un- dertaking being estimated tO cost ap- proXimateiy S1S00G0 000 or eighteen times as much as the Salt River recIa- nation project.
 Specifically the work is to provide the city of New York with an added supply of water equal to its presen, supply. making q total supply of q billion gallons per day. The work in wolves bringing the water from point in the Cdtskill mountaints near King ston. wher" number of creeks are to be damned for the purpose. a distance of 92 miles to the city line with a dis tributinG system l7la miles long in the city. The water is carried under the Hudson by means of q siphOn between HOO ana l206 feet below the river l,.vel in ;he solid rock. and in similar way all the streams en route are siphoned under. The shafts at each end of the big siphOn. together with the tunnel itself. represents pretty big job of mining. The tunnel through the city at no place is less than lj0 feet below the surface of the solid rock anl in some places il is several hundred feet So the tunnel is from 200 to 750 feet below ground. depending on the topo- sraphy of different portions of the island. The tunnel is 10 he the main artery of the water system and il so far below ground it is believed noth- ing can ever interfere with it ana be- ing every inch of II in solid rock there is no fear of it's breaking Every 4OO0 feet there will be an upraise to the surface pipes for distributing The tunnel under the river Is 5000 feet long but is part of tunnel six miles long ana in the whole length of the system there are over fifty miles of tunnel. IL has the Alps tunnel dis,anced as to length.
 As most readers know the project also includes the Ashokan dam huge storage reservoir the masonry of which is now completed though there is yet lots of work 10 do on the ap- breaches. MT. Smith said inc basin of the dam could he made available for the storage of some water next winter only for the fact that 1t is now full of railroad tracks the arrange mcnts for moving which haVG not been completed so it will probably be two years before the dam is really in com mission and four years befOr" the work in the city will he completed. Taking the project as a whole, he says il is now about three quarters finished.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MONEY AT 20 PER CENT.
Money Status a Barrier to Speculative
 Activity in Stocks.

New York, Nov. 29.-The highest rate for call money in several years was touched today, 20 per cent. being quoted ust before the close. Quotations fluctuated in an cratic way, though the bulk of the business was transact ed at figures considerably below the top. The opening was at per cent. and renewals were made at '. After mounting to 10 per cent. the rate fell back to s. Late in the day the quota tions rose by leaps until 20 per cent was touched in the last few minutes. It was the highest rate since January of 1908. A furry in nancy was not al- together unexpected, although the com parative ease at the opening and the dip to per cent. after 10 per cent. was touched had lessened fears of a squeeze. There were indications, how ever, that the recent scarcity of funds might make itself felt in some such
 way.
 Loans made today carried over into the new month, and there were prep
 arations to be made for over $100, 000.- 900 December interest and dividend disbursements. Another unsettling factor was the drain on this center by Canada and the interior, which threat ems to obl1tera)te the surplus reserve
 shown in last weeks bank statement.
 Forecasts based on known movements of money indicated a cash loss of from S4, ,5O0,000 to twice that amount. The loss of gold to Canada was increased by an additional shipment of s500,000, bringing up the total to $1,750,000. The uncertain status of money was an effective bar to speculative activity l in stocks, and the market was listless. 1 The Hartman stocks and Canadian
 Pacific were higher and there were wide movements in a few specialties,
 with General Electric. Westinghouse
 and Rubber particularly strong. Oth-
 erwise fluctuations were narrow. The
 urry in money was without effect on | stocks.
 The Hartman lines, Canadian Pacific
 and Northern Pacific reported increas- es of round amounts in their earnings l for October. The earnings of Union 1 Pacific and Southern Pacific were the 1 largest in their history.
 i The bond market was generally firm l although there was slight depression in some quarters. Total sales, pal value, $1,300,000.
