oId Roman Wall unsarthed.

A part of the wall which once en-
closed old st. Paul's, London, has been
discovered in excavations at the cor
ner of Paternester Row and St. Paul's
alley in London. The wall, which is
about 60 feet long, is made of chalk
and rubble, and was built in the
twelfth century. On the same site
pieces Of a Roman amphora, Roman
vases and some Samian ware have
also been found. Other finds" include
a cancels skull unearthed in High Hol-
born and large quantity of pipes of
the eighteenth century. Under some
old stables in Bartholomew Close

three Norman arches have been found.
They are close to one another, and
are believed to have formed part OF
the cloisters of the priory which once
stood on this site.

SUCCESS WITH DRY-FARMINo
Failures Not Always Due to scanty
Precipitation, but to Lack Of
Scientific Methods.

CBy PROF. q. H. WATSON State Dry
Farming Expert of Wyoming)
In view of the past two years OF
drought and the resultant failure or
partial failure of crops, some doubt az
to the feasibility Of dry-farming in
Wyoming has been expressed 1t Is
a noteworthy fact that In those states
where dry-farmlng has been practiced
for period of 40 years, the past two
years Of scanty precipitation have
been followed by no especially dis
astrous results. The reason for this
Is not that they are more favorably
located than Wyoming, but that they
have reduced their dry-farm methods
to a science. In fact, the State OF
Utah, for example, has lower annual
precipitation than Wyoming. Then,
too, the larger part Of this precipita-
ton comes in the winter, while In
eastern Wyoming rs per cent. of our
moisture comes when we need 1t most
that is, during the growing season.
The past two years in Utah have
been exceedingly dry, and yet compar-
atively few crop failures have been
reported. To the contrary, yields OF
winter wheat ranging from 20 to 30
ard even 40 bushels to the acre were
very common. This ability to secure
good crops under adverse conditions,
however, has not been acquired with
out severe losses in the past. In fact,
former droughts were the school
masters that compelled the dry-farm-
ers of those sections to adopt the very
best methods in their farm practice
They learned that dry-farming was
safe in regions where the annual pre-
cipitation averaged - inches. Some
years it might be more; some years 1t
might be less. When moisture came
in excess 1t was stored UP for future
use in time of drought, and when the
drought came good crops were raised.
They learned, too, that deep soils
were essential to dry-farming and that
the summer fallow aud careful cult
walton were vital parts of the prac-
tice. Thus they have secured repu-
tation that was worldwide and that
brings each year from other nations
scores of investigators who study
their methods of dry-farming.
During the past summer In Wyo-
ming striking examples of proper and
improper systems of tillage were evil
dent. Small grains on fallow land, OF
following corn or potatoes, gave good
yields, while In adjoining fields the
same kind of crop, disked in on oat OF
wheat stubbles, was burning up. In
such cases drought is a severe school
master, but 1t will nevertheless bring
to knowledge of the truth those who
insist upon following methods CONNER
in humid areas.
In the meantime prospects for q
favorable year are encouraging Food
crops will be harvested. The soil will
be worked scientifically and thereby
put into condition to produce ever
during unfavorable years. And dry
farming in Wyoming will no longer b
questioned, but will be acknowledged
as a demonstrated fact.

ObrIclno.

A young man who had never testi-
fed before was called before the court
as a witness In a certain case. He
was somewhat fustered over the at
tention that was being paid him. and
mumbled his words so that the young
woman stenographer could not hear
them distinctly. He was told to speak
plainly and to turn toward the stenog-
rapher.
Speak to the stenographer," said
the prosecutor.
At that the young man arose and
with deep bow to the lady said,
How do you do?"-Satire.

Crime to KIss.

In Russia it is a crime for lovers
to kiss in public, and not very long
ago two young women and two young
women were arrested in Odessa for
having been guilty Of this offense
They had all been dining together in
a restaurant, and kissed on parting.
They were condemned to short terms
of Imprisonment, and the sentences
were confirmed on appeal. The gen.
eral fine in Russia for a kiss in the
open street is Is shillings, but in a
tramcar it may cost anything up to
25 shillings.

A favorite sport in New Zealand, as
also in Australia and Tasmania, is
competition in wood chopping and
saving; and in these contests, which
attract a great deal Of interest, the
championships are always won
through the use of American tools.
In fact, the expert woodsman working
for a prize would never think OF u.s.
