What" asked the teacher, docs
anthracite mean?"
That's kind of COAL" said little
Willie.
: Yes. Anthracite coal is what we
call hard coal. So anthracite must
mean hard. Now can you tell me what
bituminous means?'
That's coal, too" Willie replied.
but it isn't the same kind of coal
that anthracite is, Is it? Bituminous
coal is what we commonly refer to as
soft coal Now, Willie, let US see if
you can form a sentence containing
the words anthracite and bituminous.
Willie thought the matter over for
a minute and then said:
Here's one. This morning before
pa started downtown ma wanted IS
for groceries and things, and she tried
to get it by saying bituminous words,
but pa gave her an anthracite look,
aud when he disappeared around the
corner she was weeping Unanimously.

FIGHT WITH AN OCTOPUS

Attacked by an octopus a young
man Of Waimate Island, N. T., had
an exciting experience, a few days
ago. He, was gathering mussels
in the SET close to the shore on
one Of the islands in the gulf
when the young man with cries for
help attracted the notice of his father.
On arriving to see what was the mat
ter, the father found that an octopus
had one of its tenacles, as big as a
mans wrist, wound round the boys
leg. The creature had so strong hold
of the lad that it drew blood before
they could be separated.

TIMOTHY ON IRRIGATED LANn
Flooding From Field bitches Is Most
Popular Method-Soil Should
Determine Distances.

Probably more irrigated lind on
which timothy is grown is irrigated
by flooding from field bitches than
In any other way. When this system
Is used, bitches are plowed from the
lateral ditch to different parts of the
field and are distributed in such way
as to carry the water along the slopes
or ridges, from which it can be
diverted to flow over the surface Of
the soil. These bitches are made
with pillow, preferably one having a
double moldboard.
The distance apart that the bitches
should be and their location are deter
mined chiefly by the character of the
soil, the slope of the land and the
volume of water available for irri-
eating. According to Prof Samuel
Fortier the average distance apart
that the lateral bitches are placed
In about so feet; the distance may
vary, however, from 80 to 40 feet to
2t0 feet or more
When the water is to be turned on
the land, it is diverted from the main
ditch into the field bitches. Dams are
placed at the proper places in these
bitches, SO as to cause the water to
flow over the surface of the land ad-
jr'ning the ditch. When the soil to be
irrigated from this point has become
sufficiently moist, the dam is removed
and another is placed farther down
the ditch, from which more land Is
watered. This method of procedure
Is followed until the whole field has
, been irrigated.

Yesterday he won his game,
Everybody wildly praised him.
Lovingly they spoke his name.
On their shoulders proud men raised
him;
Yesterday his curves were great,
Splendid batters fell before him,
All the town stayed up till late,
Willing. eager to adore him
He is walking from the field,
Sadly, slowly, Unattended
With his features half concealed.
All his former glory ended
He is Kissed and termed mutt"
He has lost the game, confound himr
Yesterday a hero. but,
Bricks today are falling round him.

THE CORPSE PLANT

The Indian pipe, or corpse plant, is
strangely interesting kind OF para
site. 1t has bunch of fibrous roofs
which attach themselves to the roots
of other plants, or sometimes they
grow in decayed vegetable mattsr
The plant is white, and has nc leaves,
but little bracts instead. The flowers
have no odor and turn black as coon
as they are plucked. Many botanists
claim that the Indian pipe Is an un-
pleasant plant, but we have not found
it so. 1t attaches itself for life to
one plant which it chooses for it's
friend. Some botsnists call I, life In
death"

ATTORNEY ELECTION

Special States Attorney John E.
NoTthup, conducting the investiga-
ton into alleged frauds in connection
with the election of States Attorney
Hoyne, today issued a public appeal,
asking all Chicagoans who registered
but did not vote at the November 5
election to send him their names.
Northup asserted that the grand
jury discovered that in many in
stances ballots were cast for persons
who registered but did not appear at
the polls, and he is taking this means
of learning to what extent this prac-
tice was pursued. No report will be
made by the jurors before next week.

GOES DOWN EMBANKMENT
Windsor, Vermont, July 11.-Pres.
Wilson narrowly escaped injury in
an automobile wreck today when his
chauffeur was forced to drive off the
road, crash down an embankment in
to a yard and run flush against
house to avoid collision with wagon
travelling in the opposite direction.
The automobile carrying the secret
service men had to be sent down the
same embankment in the same man
ner. The president was returning
from a golf game. He laughed at
the experience.
The wagon approaching from the
opposite direction was on a narrow
bridge; the presidents car was going
at a fair rate of speed; there was
no chance for the approaching car
to swerve from it's course on the
narrow roadway. The presidents
chauffeur saw this and took the
chance on the embankment.
