THE POWER OF WATER.

The power of water is enormous. A tiny jet of water descending 1900 feet, travelling at the rate of 100 yards a second, cannot be cut into with an axe or a sword. It will fracture the best blades of Toledo steel. It will hurl an axe through an oak plank. It s quite impossible for a man to cut +nis stream thru.
 To compute the power of falling water it is necessary to multiply the volume of flown" water in cu- bic feet per minute by it's weight, 62.5 pounds, and divide by SS,OO0 the number of foot-pOunds repre- senting 1 Il. D. for l minute. A stream of water when flowing over weir five feet in width by one foot in depth at the rate of one foot a second and having a fall of twenty feet, develops eleven horse power.-

EARLY PLANTING
 IS THE BEST

Washington, D. C., March Elf forts to dodge the boil weevil by planting cotton late have been prov en fruitless by the government bur eau of entomology in spite of the theory that prevails very generally through the south. In fact the most recent experiments along this line show that late crops are a de- cided disadvantage. In one field in Louisiana last year 1,125 were picked from an acre that had been planted esrly, while in an adjourn ing field that had been planted late the yield was but 650 pounds per acre. Ia another instance a field planted May 22 produced but one fourth of a bale, per acre, though in 1911 when planted a month ear Her it gave half a bale to the acre.

Cleveland, March 2.--"Just com mon sense", is the way Miss Flor encee Higgins, Cleveland telephone girl, explains her object in discard ing ruffles, laces and cameos for low heeled shoes, skirts, long point ed tailored collars, mannish suits and velour hats.
