Dredee Employed to Dig Channel
Through Cranberry Marsh Credit
to Designers.

In Wisconsin there Is a clamshell.
bucket dredge in use which at each
shovelful removes an amount of ma
terial much greater than the size of
the bucket itself The reason is that the
outfit is being used to dig a channel
through a cranberry marsh, where the
material to be cleared away varies
all the way from tangled weeds to
hardpan. The eventual object of this
channel, which is 80 feet wide and 6
feet deep, is to drain 1900 acres OF
cranberry land In one section of this
land there is a lake, the waters Of
which must be distributed throughout
the boys during certain seasons of the
year. The use of this type of bucket,
which, besides digging into hard
ground, will also come away with bush
els of underbrush, matted boughs,
etc, hanging from its jaws, illustrates
the art OF adapting the tool to the
work. Popular Mechanics.

IN THE WILDERNESS
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

Alan Deane felt in harmony with al.
the world, as he left the little vine
embowered cottage where the treas
ure OF his heart was bestowed-Edna
Wilton. 1t was quite dusk. The stars
seemed to sparkle like happy eyes,
the gentle nightingales sang a sooth-
ing melody to his rapturous heart.
"She is mine-mine" whispered
Alan in subdued ecstasy. Coward
heart Why did you not urge me to
seek the bliss'ul assurance of her love
before?'
In rare humility he accepted the
great gift love had given him. Bush
ness life had only recently begun for
Alan and it was decidedly desultory.
He had been disappointed as to secur-
ing employment. His, however, was
not a nature to remain waiting or
idle. He picked up the first task that
came to hand. Alan was something
of an artist. For few months he as
sisted a scenic artist in getting up the
scenes for a grand spectacular drama.
This led to his introduction to sue
,cessful manufacturer, who was max
Ing q speciality of his celebrated Red
Rose Soap" The man had got the
idea of advertising the soap on all
the cliff sides he could find in Idaho.
The more inaccessible the place, the
more daring the feat Of thus giving
his soap publicity, the more literally
was he willing to pay.
At salary that would enable Alan
to set aside enough to begin house
keeping on in nice way, the latter
was given charge Of the expedition. A
wagon, driver, ali the tackle and 9TH
or paraphernalia necessary to swing
from lofty heights and scale great
pinnacles was put aboard The paint
ing was to be crude, but loud. The
red. red rose was a 10 by 16 daub Of
carmine, the lettering white and 80
feet in length, so the great sign could
be read miles away
With all this arranged and sure
ty Of good money ahead, Alan went
to Edna and proposed. He had hest
tated before because there was
rival in the field. There was one

AnuleWorm "Farm."

There are FARMS" it seems, the
products of which bear no relation to
farming as ordinarily pursued The
latest addition to the list is an angle
worm farm" conducted by Mr.. w.
Orion Moon, who lives near Grand
Rapids, Mich. His farm is one OF the
curiosities of Michigan. 1t consists
of 25 pals, pots, pans and old crooks.
Each receptacle, or field contains
from 40 to 500 angleworms.
During the last three years his pc
culiar crop has netted him $1,000 an
nually. He delivers his worms in oiled
paper packages, one dozen to the pack
age, at ten cents each. Here is his
way of rearing angleworms:
Get several good angleworms. Place
them in an ordinary pail or granite
receptacle, with two double handfuls
of earth. Feed the worms twice day
on coffee grounds and corn meal. They
will thrive and multiply .-Youth's

reminders only for him.
When Alan started out on his
unique painting trip, the stranger, who
was named Jim Prevoast, accompan-
led him. The latter seemed to
breathe more freely and his spirits
rose considerably, the farther he got
away from civilization. He never re-
ferred to his troubles or to Ridgeway
now, and Alan was glad that he had
lifted the man from q forlorn refugee
position to a really harmonious COM
partnership.
During a month bright. cheering
letters followed Alan in his wilder
ness course. Then. although he
wrote regularly, there came no re-
plies. He decided that they were
lost or delayed, following his erratic
route. He was anxious to hasten his
program and get back to the girl he
loved
One afternoon Alan and his COM
panlon had been working since day
break on particularly perilous un-
dcrtaking-the painting OF sign on
the face of cliff looking sheer down
over 1000 feet into rock strewn IA
vine. Alan had left Prevoast to put
on the finishing touches, and had gone
to the near settlement to arrange for
the removal of their traps to their
next stop.
Returning, his heart stood still as
lie neared the cliff. A man was hack
ing at the ropes sustaining the frail
platform a hundred feet down. He
sawed them through, there was
crash below. a bloodcurding shrek.

in amazement and horror, and
rushed at the villain. The latter, I'M

Of the man he had intended to plunge
to his doom, went down like shot
as Alan hit him, his head striking a
rock. There he lay, senseless.
Alan peered over the edge of the
cliff. Away down below the platform
hung, suspended by one rope. Cling
ing to trailing cable swinging to and
fro, was his helper. 1t was the work
Of moment to descend, to venture
down the swaying cable till Preyoast
could climb over him. Alan insisted
that the terrified PreYoast precede him
to the cliff top. When he arrived
there he found Prevoast bending over

papers.

WORDS OF INTELLIGENT MEN
ACCORDING to o. w. Holmes Lecture

A lecture ought to be something
which all can understand, about
something which interests everybody.

not quadrupled that number. These
old lectures are a mans best, com
monty; they improve by age, also.
One learns to make the most OF their
strong points, and to carry on their
weak ones. to take out the really good
things which don't tell on an audi
ence and put in the cheaper things
that do. All this degrades him, OF
course, but it improves the lecture
for general delivery. A thoroughly

thing in it which 500 people can all
