How the Rain Bores Holes.

When rain falls It does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores its way
in. forming tiny tubes, says the Reho-
both Sunday Herald. These tubes are
so small that 1t would be impossible
to insert hair in one of them with
out bursting its walls Sometimes the
tubes are bored down to a depth Of
four or five feet. When the Surface
dries the water evaporates from the
tubes, just as it would from pipe.
If the tube Is twisted it takes longer
for the water to evaporate.
If one takes a rake and stirs the
ground after each rain he breaks the
tops of the tubes and the water will
stand In them for months In this way
the farmers of the West, on semi-arid
lands. store the rainfalls one year
and raise a crop of wheat every other
year, there being sufficient water in
two years, but not enough In one, to
raise a crop.
