Eactoriea That Float.

Floating factories have become an
important part of the development
of the forest resources of India. In
certain parts of the country forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense OF
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such
a course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared in .
sawmill 1t can be packed in a way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system OF log
ging. Plants for the preparation of
tannin extracts have also been estab-
lish in this manner. The plants are
built on fiat boats, 200 feet long, by
27 feet wide. capable OF carrying .

LOST NEBRASKA CITY FOUND
Ruins Of the Ancient Town Of Qui
vera Of Tradition Skirt the
Loup River.

Omaha, Neb.-The ancient city Of
Quivera for which the Spaniards, un-
der the command of Francisco Vas
quez Coronado searched diligently
some four hundred years ago. 1t is
said, has been discovered. A party
Of leading western scientists and
archaeologists, headed by DIR. Robert
F. Glider of this city. is already plan
ming to make extensive excavations
and explorations next summer. The
ruins of this ancient city skirt the
Loup river In Nebraska for several
miles While 1t had been known for
years that Quivera was somewhere
in Nebraka. 1t was not until Doctor
Glider and his associates completed a
series of excavations that the exact
location of the old Spanish settlement
was found.
A farmer near Riverton, Neb., dug
up an old stirrup, which looked SO
strange to him that he sent 1t to the
state museum. The head of the state
archaeological department found that
both in shape and material 1t was like
those used centuries ago by Moors
and Spaniards. 1t had been made on
a blacksmith's anvil, and the blowf

FISHES HIT THE LIQUOR LAW
MaekereI Sold In Delaware Carry Bot
ties Inside Of Them for
Thirsty Ones.

Wilmington, Del-A new industry
to overcome local option conditions in
lower Delaware has developed at
Lewes, and at the Delaware breakwa-
ter. Mackerel fishermen from New
England ports are supplying the dry"
section with liquor by selling pints
and halfpints concealed in mackerel.
Buy fish and get big drink" is
the slogan of the fishermen. and 1t is
netting them considerable money.
When Governor Miller recently ap-
proved an act prohibiting the ship
ment of liquor into Kent and Sussex
counties. dry" sections. the bibulous
residents of Lewes and vicinity be-
came alarmed. The Webb bill had
previously stopped interstate ship
ments.
Ingenious Yankees on a mackerel
boat from New England laid In a large
supply of liquor before reaching Della
ware and opened a large number Of
fish and placed bottles Of liquor inside.
The fish land contents" were offered
for sale.
There was soon a big demand for
the fish, and other mackerel fishermen
learned of the plan and emulated it.

he was four years old and injured
both legs permanently.
He said that neighbor had told
him a snake story just before he went

ever so many feet long and an incred-
ible number of inches thick. which
the neighbor had said he had killed.
Charles woke up In the morning
with the story still In mind. He
thought how comfortable 1t was to
live in a country where one could
sleep in peace instead of In one of
those countries where. he had heard.
snakes sometimes creep in and share

Revelling in the thought. he thrust
his right leg deeper under the covers.
Then something that stung like hot
needle pierced his ankle.

London-Without doubt the pleas
ATTEST place In which to spend non
wintry winter Is Egypt-the banks of
the Nile. In Cairo. perhaps. it is not
quite correct to describe the winter as
nonwintry. for the early morning and
evening cold Is sufficient to make It,
self very sensibly felt; but in Assuan
and Luxor the winter is no winter in
the European sense of the word.
By Christmas the narcissus and the
violets, immense beds of which grow
In the gardens, are already In bloom;
while by March, our early spring, the
orange blossom and the scarlet hibis-
Gus are fully out. the pink and white
oleanders and petunias are Towering
with a profusion utterly unknown in
European gardens. and the long. lofty
wall Of the winter palace gardens in
Luxor is hung with. as 1t We're, tap
estry of deep yellow Marechal Mel
roses and deep purple bougainvillea-
wonderful color study of tints, both
rich and rare. Winter on the Nile, In
deed. is more like an ideal summer,
with warm days. which are yet not ex-
hausting. and with cold evenings and
early mornings, which possess some
marvellous quality of freshness and in
vigorating power OF which evenings
and early mornings elsewhere seem
bereft.
For complete rest and refreshment
of mind and body. think. after consid-
cradle experience Of travel, that l
should send anyone to Egypt in pref
erence to any other part Of the world
should not recommend much time be-
ing spent in Cairo. as. interesting city
though 1t is IN the older and native
parts, 1t Is not characteristically
Egyptian. and does not. unless per-
chance, for the incorrigible town lover,
possess anything approaching to the
nameless charm of the Nile and upper
Egypt.
Throughout the entire journey. last
ing about fortnight. from Cairo to
Assuan, this abundant life Of the Nile
Is ceaselessly in evidence. In summer,
