cistern Filters Do Not Remove Germ,

Cisterns that are properly constructed
and receive rain water from roofs gem
orally afford water of good sanitary
quality, but if water Of doubtful quality
is stored in cisterns the supply is of
course not safe for domestic use. Fill
ters used in connection with eisterns are
of value in making the water clear but
are generally of no value in removing
disease germs. Many cisterns are divid-
ed into two parts by brick wall, the
water being admitted into one compart-
ment and drawn from the other In
such cisterns the water passes through
the brick and in that way is improved
in clearness and color, but not generally
in sanitary quality--tU. S. GeologicalI

Steady Increase in Colorado Coal Produc-
tim

Coal mining as an industry in Colorado
began in 1864, when production of 500
short tons was recorded. In 1876 the
production reached for the first time a
total exceeding 100000 tons, and six
years later, in 1882. it had reached the
millon-ton mark. Since that date the
increase has been almost uninterrupted.
The production exceeded 100000 tons
in 1890; 10 years later it had grown
to over 100000 tons, and in 1910 il
exceeded II 100000 tons, but in 1912 it
fell just below the 100000 ton mark.

the frogs. Not at all. But HI
- Just liked to stone them or catch
them and take them home, where they
soon died In the shallow basins ir
which he put them to live.
Fred had a good home and was a boy
who stood well at school. for few knew
kindly. So he would steal off unnoticed
and sit for hours on the banks Of the
Black Pool, which was far down in the
pine woods a mile out Of the village
This evening he spent a longer time
there than he realized Since sunset he
had been throwing at every green head
that popped up out of the black water,
and yet he was not satisfied. For there
was one big fellow who kept peepins
from beneath q large water-lily and
croaking at him In a dismal way that
sounded as II 1t were making fun of
him. So the boy fingered. He threw
every stone on which he could lay his
hands and every stick in the vicinity.
but still there was that impudent,. fat
green head peeking out and tho big
mouth. croakinK "Juggerrum! jugger-
rum!

fretted Fred. IF 1t takes me all night.

make fun of me-"
So the boy went back in the field and
got q lot Of stones which he piled on
the bank; then he sat down under a
tree where the roots made a COM
Portable chair with seat OF soft
moss. Presently the moon began to
rise and flicker on the water. and
Fred could see the green back Of q
huge frog swimming rapidly towards
him. He was too much frightened to
cry out for the animal seemed al
large as a man. The big head rose
| out of the pond and the moonlight
flickered on the shining. wet skin.
Fred sat perfectly still. Up the
muddy bank the frog climbed. its

a basket last Saturday and Grated toma-
toes to so and go cents. Because the
crate holds about II baskets and cost l3
cents; the extra quality Of tomatoes re-

as profitable to the growers.
The early tomato growers have re-
ceived the cream for their crops. Some
have done well, but the average has not
been very large considering the labor.
