MADE TWO WATERWAYS ONE
Historians Unable to Give Credit 10
Some FsrsIshted Ruler Of
the Long Ago.

Arabistan lies at the head Of the
Persian gulf, its western boundary
being the Shat-el-Arab, the great
river formed by the combined waters
Of the Tigris and Euphrates, the
right bank of which is in Persian ter
ritory, while the left is in Turkish
Arabia. Forty miles above where it
flows into the Persian gulf the Shat
el-Arab is Joined by the Karun, and
the town of Mohammerah stands at
the junction of the two rivers, the
former clear, green stream, the lat
ter thick and red.
In ancient times the Karun flowed
into the gulf, and part of the river
still runs along the old channel, but
the main stream has been diverted,
three miles above Mohammerah, into
an artificial channel known geo.
graphically as the Haffar canal. 1t
is impossible even to make a guess
at the date of this wonderful work,
not even tradition remaining of the
ruler whose farsightedness realized
the enormous advantage of joining
up the two waterways. Alexander
the Great has been suggested, but
apparently for no other reason than
that he is a convenient and likely
person to credit with any ambitious
enterprise, and that one of his many
Alexandrias was built on the site of
the present Mohammerah.-Wide

As HE UNDERSTANDS IT.

This "civilized warfare" philoso-
ply is credited to Harve Parsons :
"As we understand it, it is against
the rules of civilized warfare to
shoot an enemy. with a frazzled bull
let, but quite the proper thing to pot
him with a stick of dynamite, a
kettle full of harness buckles and
cracked glass, OF chase him through
a barbed wire fence. There are other
things about civilized warfare that
are hard to understand" Atlanta

TRACTOR TILLER FOR SOIL
ON H. P. SCOTT'S ESTATE

Henry p. Scott. we'll known
banker and broker OF this city. has
the distinction of being the first ag-
riculturalist in Delaware TO employ
rotary tiller. one of the newest inven-
tions in farming implements, which
is made by the Allis-Chalmers Com
pany of Milwaukee, Wis The tillor,
which supplants the plow and harrow
on farm lands, arrived at Delaware
City several days ago and IL will be
demonstrated by a representative OF
the company on Mr.. Scotts estate,
Lexington. near Delaware City, within
few days.
Mr.. Scott plans to invite members
OF the agricultural department Of
Delaware College and some prominent
farmers OF the state when the ma
chine is demonstrated.
The rotary tiller. which consists Of
tractor with one driving wheel in
front and two in the rear. is operated
by one man and II is driven by a
thirty-horse power engine. The ma
chine was patented by K. V. Won Mey-
enburg.
The new machine is unlike the
plow in that it chips the soil and
breaks II. It will mill the ground to
any depth and in fact il supplants the
work OF the pow and harroN.
In speaking OF the use of the trac-
tor tiller today. Mr. Scott said II would
not supplant horses and mules now
used on his estate. as it will not take
the place of the drill or seeder and
animals will be 0sad for these pur-
poses.
Although the machine was purchas-
ed by MIR. Scott directly from the
makers. White Brothers Of this city
who had heard Of the possibilities Of
the tractor have started negotiations
/ toward securing the agency for the
machines in this locality.
