The brush dam gives better results
if straw is mixed with the brush to
help hold the dirt Wherever the fall

seriously it is likely to be necessary to
stake down the brush and straw so
that they will not be washed away.
For deep narrow gullies concrete
dams from to y inches thick will
give better results. Iron rods to give
weight must be used in reinforcing
the larger dams, but heavy wires will
do very well in the smaller ones. The
middle should always be left lower
than the edges and the supply way
should be provided with a concrete,
stone or brick apron at the bottom OF
the gulley to prevent the falling water
from cutting into the soil and under
mining the dam.

CHAPTER XXI.

When we hove to, hasty though or
derby confusion reigned. The boats
came aboard from every side at once
AS fast as the prisoners came over
the rail they were marshaled forward
into the forecastle by our hunters,
while our sailors hoisted in the boats,
pell-mell, dropping them anywhere up,
on the deck and not stopping to lash
them. We were already under way, all
sails set and drawing, and the sheets
being Stacked off for wind abeam, as
the last boat lifted clear of the water
ind swung in the tackles.
There was need for haste. The
Macedonia, belching the blacklist of
smoke from her funnel, was charging
down upon us from out of the north
east. Neglecting the boats that re-
manned to her, she had altered her
course so as to anticipate ours. She
was not running straight for US. but
ahead of US. Our courses were con-
verging like the sides of an angle, the
vertex of which was at the edge of the
fog-bank 1t was there, or not at all,
that the Macedonia could hope to catch
US. The hope for the Ghost lay in
that she should pass that point before
the Macedonia arrived at it.
Better get your rifles, you fellows"
Wolf Larsen called to our hunters;
and the five men lined the lee rail,
guns in hand. and waited.
The Macedonia was now but a mile
away, the black smoke pouring from
her funnel at right angle, so madly
she raced. pounding through the sea at
seventeen-knot gait Sky-hooting
through the brine,'" as Wolf Larsen
quoted while gazing at her. We were
not making more than nine knots, but
the fog-bank was very near.
A puff of smoke broke from the
Macedonia's deck, we heard a heavy
report. and a round hole took form in
the stretched canvas of our mainsail.
They were shooting at us with one of
the small cannon which rumor had
said they carried on board. Our men.
clustering amidships, waved their
hats and raised derisive cheer. Again
there was puff Of smoke and loud
report, this time the cannon ball strik-
ing not more than twenty feet astern
and glancing twice from sea to sea to
windward ere it sank.
But there was no rifle-firing for the
reason that all their hunters were out
in the boats or our prisoners. When
the two vessels were half mile apart,
third shot made another hole in our
mainsail. Then we entered the fog. It
was about US, yelling and hiding us in
its dense wet gauze.
The sudden transition was startling.

COLONY HAS FEW INDUSTRIES
Belgian Congo, After Thirty Years, Is
Still in the Early Stages of
Development.

Belgian Congo, founded thirty years
ago, is still in the early stage Of de-
velopment. So far practically no
manufacturing industries have yet
been established and, aside from the
important copper mines in the Ka-
tanga district, the only large indus
trial enterprises are the railways and
river transportation services. II
may be said that all business activi-
ties in the colony are devoted to the
collection of tropical products-rub-
Der. ivory, gum copal, palm oil and
kernels, cacao, etc.-and the railway
and river services are in reality only
accessories to these activities, having
been established primarily to aid in
the transportation of these products
to the seaports. The gathering of rub
Der in Congo has never recovered it's
former activity, and in all probability
will never again be so rich a source

looked at Maud Brewster and knew
that she was similarly affected. Then
looked at Wolf Larsen, but there was
nothing subjective about his state or
consciousness. His whole concern was
with the immediate. objective present.
He still held the wheel, and | felt that
he was timing time, reckoning the
passage of the minutes with each for
ward lunge and leeward roll OF the
Ghost.
Go for'ard and hard-alee without
any noise" he said 10 me in low
voice. "Clcw up the topsails first. Set
men at all the sheets. Let there be no
rafting of blocks, no sound of voices.
No noise, understand, no noise"
When all was ready. the word hard
alec" was passed forward to me from
man to man; and the Ghost heeled
about on the port tack with practically
no noise at all And what little there
was-the slapping of few reefpoints
and the creaking of sheave in block
or two-was ghostly under the hollow
echoing pail in which We were
swathed.
We had scarcely filed away, il
seemed, when the fog thinned abruptly
and we were again in the sunshine, the
wide-stretching sea breaking before US
to the skyline. But the ocean was
bare. No wrathful Macedonia broke
it's surface nor blackened the sky with
her smoke
Wolf Larsen at once squared away
and ran down along the rim of the fog
hank. His trick was obvious. He had
entered the fog to windward of the
steamer. and while the steamer had
blindly driven on into the fog in the
chance of catching him he had come
about and out of his shelter and was
now running down to re-enter to lee
ward. Successful in this, the old smile
of the needle in the haystack would be
mild indeed compared with his broth
er's chance of finding him.
He did not run long. Jibing the fore
and main sails and setting the tOpsails
again, we headed back into the bank

Some Good Points to Look For in Pick
ing Out Good Pig Producer-look
for Usefulness.

In selecting breeding sows, the prin-
cipal thing is to get good swine. 1t
pays a beginner better to invest in two
or three good sows than in a much
larger number of ordinary ones. This
is the advice that the live stock ex-
perts of Clemson college are giving
South Carolina farmers who ask for
pointers on making a start with hogs.
In selecting a SOW there are certain
sex characteristics to look for. She
should not have any appearance of
coarseness. The head should be light
er, forehead higher and neck simmer
and neater than those of the boar.
