NORWAY Improves Harbor.

Over $4,000 in harbor dues is con-

Even after her condemnation by a

To Extend Euyptian RAILWAYS.

London, July 27.-Lord Kitchener's
arrival home is partly concerned with
a scheme to open a new route to Egypt
which is being promoted by a foreign
syndicate One item in the scheme is
the purchase of the Mariout railroad.
and the khedive has recently been APP
preached by group of French and
Italian fnanciers on the subject.
The railway, which is narrow
gauge. runs from Alexandria through
Mariout. a district of Cyrenaica, to-
ward the TripOlitan frontier. 1t will
be remembered that portion Of Cy-
renaica was handed over by Turkey
to the Egyptian government at the
beginning of the Turko-Italian war.
The construction Of the railway was
started by the khedive at his own cost
some years ago The line has from
time to time been extended so that at
present it is about AT miles long and
is about 1866 miles from the Tripolitan
frontier
Mariout is the ancient Mariotis. the
granary Of Europe in Roman times.
and the wheat sheaf of the Roman
coat of arms refers to this district,
which was then watered by many
streams. but is now dried up. 1t is
proposed, however, to extend the Nj

Novel Auto Accident SAFEGUARD,

London, July 27.-Mirrors at road
crossings for the use of warning auto
mobiles are commencing to be used in
England, and the results are very good
They are being put in places where
the crossings are specially dangerous,
and the use of large mirrors allows the
driver to see the reflection of cars
which are coming in other directions
The method probably will be extended
in the future, as it is likely to avoid
many accidents and will be we'll worth
the small cost of putting in. Another
use for mirrors is upon heavy power
wagons, where the driver cannot hear
the signals of automobiles back of him
so as to have him take the right hand
side Of the road to allow them to pass,
for the noise of the power wagon often
prevents the horn from being heard.
1t is proposed to fit the power wagons
with small mirrors showing the back
of the road. but were this to be made
obligatory the mirrors might be i'm
posed upon the usual automobile cars
as we'll, and this would give rise to
some objections from their owners.

Livinu Off an Acre,

Mountain Home Ark. July Is
George Higginbotham says that he viii
again make living off his acre of land
here this season if a drought does not
strike this section-this on an acre
too, that ten years ago grew nothing
but hog weeds and would hardly sprout
a grain of corn. Intensive farming
does it. and Mr.. Higginbotham is
known here as the most intense farmer
in the country. His living is not a
meager one, as one might suppose,
either. for it comes right fresh from
Mother Earth, and he lives in about
the same style as the average city man
does on $50 a month salary and has a
family to support.
There is nothing remarkable about
his miniature farm. At first he made
a living off it because he had to and
now because he can. His secret is to
keep something growing on every inch
of it all the time and to keep the soil
rich both by working and fertilization
so that the stuff will grow all the time
AS fast as one crop is taken off another
is put on.
In looking around for other additions
that would bring him profit on his
miniature farm he decided on cows
and chickens. His calves from the two
cows bring him $50 year
Mr.. Higginbotham says that any one
can make living off one acre of land
if he properly tends and fertiliZes it
and keeps something growing on every
inch all the time.

Despite the fierce antagonism of Tory
opponents, organized obstruction of a

government guarantees the full sick

half million deposit contributors. -
who pay their contributions into the
pOstOffice department and are entitled
to relief only to the extent of such
contributions, together with those
made on their behalf by their employ
ers and the government.
Under the law men contribute
cents weekly, their employers 8 cents

only cents. The benefits include be-
sides free medicine and medical at

this great American crop is suffering.
The party will make start from

taken up with study of the diseases
which have recently attacked the pota-

port will be made to the United States
government and to each of the states
visited concerning the result of the
survey.
Among those who will take part in
this unique investigation will be Dr.

Agriculture and Forestry, Berlin, and
DR.. H. w. WOllenwOber, also of Ger
many, who are authorities on plant
diseases. Several scientists have come

According to E. H. Grubb. widely
known potato grower of Colorado, the
crop situation is very serious. In
known diseases have attacked the
plant in almost every part Of the coun-
try, the germs having been imported,
it is thought with some foreign tubers.
In Utah, which is one of the great pO-
tato growing states, the loss by disease
has been so heavy that the state crop
has not been large enough to supply
home needs. The dreaded "leaf roll, :"
which has caused heavy damage in
Colorado and Nebraska has now made
its appearance in Maine and New
York. Several diseases new to sci
ence have made simultaneous attacks
upon potato plants in Europe and
America, and it is hoped that the com
ing gathering of experts will be able
to devise remedies for these ills.
