THE MUDDY MISSOURI.

How the River Lowers the Surface Of
tho Land 1t Drains.
The Missouri is the muddiest river in
the Mississippi valley. 1t carries more
silt than any other large river in the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For every
square mile Of country drained it car
ries downstream 3S1 tons Of dissolved
and suspended matter each year. In
other words, the river gathers annual
ly from the country that it drains
more than 2 100000 tons Of silt and
soluble matter, some of which it dis
tributes over the flood plains below to
form productive agricultural lands,
but most Of which finds its way at last
to the gulf of Mexico.
It Is by means Of data of this kind
that biologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded away.
It has been shown that the Missouri
river is lowering the surface Of the
land drained by it at the rate Of 1 foot
in 6,O36 years. The surface Of the
United States as q whole is now being
worm down at the rate Of / foot in
9,12O years.
It has been estimated that if this
erosive action Of the streams Of the
United States could have been concen,
trated on the isthmus of Panama II
would have dug in seventy-three days
the canal which was completed after
ten years work with the most power.

o. M. Rognlien of Walum, this state
whose farm is located less than two
miles southwest Of that town, can
easily claim the coveted distinction of
being the champion potato raiser in
this section of the state. He has just
completed digging a crop of tuber
beauties which for size and soundness
cannot be excelled anywhere. From
four acres a total yield Of 1923 bush
els resulted, thus makins an average
Of PSI bushels to the acre. On one

Tossing In a Blanket.

Tossing in the blanket is a very old
sport or punishment. "Blanketing"
Ben Jonson called it, and in Holinshed
(1557) we find a denunciation Of 'jest-
ing, placing, blanketing and such other
filthie and d~ishonorable exercises"
The French have a special verb,
"berner," for it, "berne" being the
name given to the sheet or blanket
used. The verb "berner" Is also used
for the Moorish punishment, in which
four men hold the victim by his an
kles and wrists and send him as high
as they can-presumably with no blan-
ket to catch him.

MENT LEAGUE
IS FORMED

New York, Nov. 3.-An anti-enlist-
league, pledging all male members ov-
er Is years of age to refrain from en-
listing for any international war in
which the United States may be be-
come involved, is forming at 81 Quincy
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, not far from
the Navy Yard, where hundreds of
United States Marines are held in
readiness to leave at a moments no
tice for any part of the world where
American interests are threatened.
And the Marines are all 'het up" ov-
er the matter, too. TELLING it" to
them has it's drawbacks, for, as
"Johnnies-on-the-spot," they form the
first line Of the national mobile de-
tense, and they cannot get the view
point of the peace-at-any-price propa-
gandists who have established head
quarters close by.
"The United States Marine Corps is
up to it's maximum strength this min
ute and is ready to a man for any
thing that may arise" said a grizzeled
old gunnery sergeant when told Of the
news. "Let EN- strike, the home en-
envy or the foreign kind, and they'll
always find the Marines able to give
a good account of themselves. We
sometimes need a few men to fill ou1

BARON MAY SEND DEATH
WARNING, SAY OFFICIALS
Austrian Believed Within Rights in
Advising Countrymen to Quit U. S.
Munitions Plants.

Information was received here last
night that labor leaders in New York
had been advised that Baron Won
Hauser, the Anstro- Hungarian consul
at Pittsburgh. had published a notice
warning Austro-Hungarians employed
in American munition factories that
they would be subject to the death
penalty on their return to their native
land if they continued in the service
Of such corporations. 1t was further
stated that Baron Won Hauser had
caused this notice to be published in
accordance with instructions issued by
the Austro-Hungarian Embassy.
1t was pointed out by officials that
like notices have been promulgated by
Austro-Hungaria rian consulates in many
cities. but that up to date no cognf-
zance had been taken of the mat
ter. Officials explained that there is
great difference between the notice
issued by Baron Won Hauser and the
offense committed by Ambassador
Dumba that resulted in the demand
made by the United States that the
ambassador be recalled. Ambassador
Dumba was held by this government
to be persona nongrata for the rea-
son that he wrote the minister Of
foreign affairs at Vienna in which he
outlined plan whereby through the
medium of strikes industry in NUM-
ton plants might be disrupted.
Oficials hold that Baron Won Hauser
has merely caused to be published
notice outlining a law of Austria
Hungary in which natives of the dual
monarchy in this country may be
punished by death If they continue to
serve plants engaged in making NUM-
tions for the allies. The act of Baron
Won Hauser. so far as it is under
stood here, does not constitute an Of
fense that would warrant the cancel
lation of his eXequatur.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
LUCIA DE LAMMERMOOR'
Maria Fara. as Lucia, Achieves In
pressive Vocal Climaxes at
the Belasco.

1t is said that to hear Lucia De Lam.
pnermoor" without cast of unusual ex.
cellence is quite Improbable, so that the
large audience present at the Belasco
Theater last night was yet another tri.
butte to the individual and collective tai
ent Of the San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany.
So firmly established in operatic re-
pertory has Donizetti's melodious mas
terpiece become that its performance
during the company's brief season in
this city was in a way inevitable, and
the keen interest and absorbed attention
with which the auditors followed the
poignantly pathetic score are sufficient
to forbid any suggestion that the pop
ularity Of Lucia De Lammermoor'' may
be passing
Maria Fara was the Lucia of the even
ing. She produced her tones well and
achieved some impressive vocal climaxes.
Her acting. too. particularly in the 'fnad
scene, was kuite appeal ling. Giuseppe
Agostini is an admirable artist and sang
the lover, Edgar of Ravenswood, most
agreeably. He enunciated his Italian
delightfully."- and made his solo. Spirit
Pure and Bright" particularly effective
This part is very evidently his best per-
formance.
Milo Picco's splendid barytone was
heard to advantage as Ashton. and the
Bucklaw of Luciano Rossini and Pietro
De Blasts chaplain were also effective.
The famous 'tSextet." is goes without
saying, had to be repeated, as was the
beautiful harp solo of the first act. The
performance, in brief, evinced anew the
general excellence of the company and
its ability to do full justice to the
scores OF the standard operas
Edith Alvord sang Santuzza in Cav
alleria Rusticana" Wednesday evening
instead Of Mary KSestner. Tonight Yer
