How Pyramids Were Built.

Tn looking at pictures of the pyra- midS and the Sphinx every one has wondered how these great monuments could be built in an age when there was no such thing as steam derrick, Discussion upon the point has run through rhe centuries. An English en- gineer has hit upon what appears to be the true explanation His opinions are supported hy the evidence or an- cient inscriptions upon tombs and temples. This engineer states that in building q pyramid the Egyptians con- structed an inclined roadway to the level of which the work had reached. As inc pyramid grew taller, tho anie of the road constantly grew sleeper, and it's length greater. Up this road. way passed all the material required tn building the pyramid. hauled by slaves and pack animals.

AustraIia's Rainfall.

committee of the British Associa. ton for the Advancement of Science has recently collected samples of rain- fali during a period of one year, at 16 stations scattered over the continent of Australia, and examined them quanti- tatiyely to determine their content Of nitric and nitrous nitrogen. About 1,- OOO samples were examined and the re- suits were compared with the records Of the weather conditions under which the rainfall occurred. The general con- clusiOns are that, for a given type of weather, the concentration of oXidiZed nitrogen in the rainfall varies inverse ly as the amount of rainfall and that the total amount of oxidiZcd nitrogen a unit area found in the rainfall accom- panying storm depends upon the type of weather and is practically in- dependent of the amount of rainfall. and that the total amount of oXidi2ed nitrogen unit area found in the rain- Tall accompanying storm depends up on the type of weather and is practie- ally Independent of the amount of rai0- tall.

The following is an instance of Henry Clay'S readiness in getting out of difficult situation. On one ocCa- sion vote he had given in congress offended one of his constituents who unbraitcd him for 1t and declared he would never again support him for congress.
 Meeting this constituent on the court green Mir. Clay said to him: "I am sorry you will not again support me for congress because of a vote I gave on certain measure. When your rifle misses fire do you throw 1t awayT' "No." replied the constituent. sI do not throw it away" What do you do with ftF" asked Mir. Clay. 'Why, I pick my riut and try it again" re- nIied tho constituent. Well" said Mir. Clay. "arr you going to throw me away heeauSe have missed fire once? Won't you let mc pick my flint and try asatnf Won't you treat me as you do your rifle when it misses tire?'
 This ready reply satisfied the Con- stituent and completely won him over. and he was ever after one of Clay'S most faithful supporters in his candi- dacy for congress.

SUCCESSFUL FARM SURVEY MADE IN CONNECTICUT BY
 DEFENSE COUNCIL AGENCIES
Litchfed Leads and Four Others Follow in Census of Agricultural Resources Important Move in Line of Increasing Food ProductOn- More Than 1000 Volunteers Accomplish Task.

Some of the conspicuous advantages of taking the farm survey have been demonstrated while the actual census was in progress. County agents have learned through perusal of census re- ports that certain farmers had live stock to sell or that others wanted to buy. With this knowledge they have been able to bring together the men who were tn the market to sell and those who were ready to buy.
 UnOccupied farms and those for sale or to rent have been located by census methods, and steps are being taken to utilize these farms this season because of the patriotic necessity of securing food from all tilIabIe land. In TOl- land county the county agent was en- abled through the census reports to place $2O0 worth of seeds with farm CTS who were planting their spring wheat and who otherwise would have been unable to get it.
 Litchfield cOuntys recent survey is being followed up by having an expert in farm machinery visit the farmers who have grain harvesting and thrash ing machinery. He is learning about the condition of the machinery as to whether it is in need of repairs and 'n addition how much outside work tue owner can do for his neighbors. Re ports from the Litchfleld county sur vey indicate that the farmers will make a gratifying increase in the area of grain to be planted.
 AS soon as the census reports are turned over to State Librarian Goddard by the extension live stock men he will proceed to tabulate the labor re sources and employment needs of the farmers, the intended crops for 1918 and the labor saving machinery on hand. As the first farm census of the state since 1S45, it's value cannot fully be appreciated at this time be- cause of the many purposes which it can fulfill both in war time and in years of peace. It provides an agri- cultural mailing list for the state gov ernment that will be of inestimable value in distributing necessary infor- nation among the farmers and in turn securing facts from them.
The Press., 1918-04-18

A war emergency census of all the farms in five Connecticut counties has been completed by a staff of volunteer CT food production and conservation Is the immediate result expected by the Connecticut State Council of De fense, which authorized the survey. The work was done first in Litchfleld county and later taken up and com pleted in Fairfield, New Haven, Tol- land and Hartford counties.
 Efficiency and speed characterized the work in each county The farmers showed splendid cooperation by readi- ly filling out the census blanks, thus giving the state government needed information regarding their resources in labor, live stock and machinery, to- gether with their plans for 1918 crops.
 The thousands of census reports col lected since the first day 0H~the cam- paign, March 25, have been assembled at the State Library in Hartford. This week the extension live stock men of the Connecticut Agricultural College are doing important statistical work with the individual census returns. They are coding the various breeds of horses, cows, sheep, swine, poultry and bees so that the state will possess a live stock census classified by breeds. Upon completion of their work State Librarian George $. Goddard will set in motion the tabulatiOn machinery which performed a great service for the state last year in the tabulation of the state military census.
 Fairfield, Hartford, New Haven and Holland counties conducted the agri- cultural survey through their county farm bureaus. Each town had from six to fifteen practical farmers mak- ing the canvass in their neighborhood. They received their appointment from the chairman of the local War Bureau and were under the supervision of the county farm agents and their assist ants. Litchfield county's survey was taken earlier in the year and served as working model Middlesex, New London and Windham counties have agreed to take their farm census next fall.
