Reclaimina Lost Paradise.

Efforts are being made TO reclaim
and plant parts of the vast tract Of
land which stretches for several miles
around Rome and goes by the name
of the campagna Romana. 1t has
been allowed to remain idle and un-
cultivated ever since the fall Of the
Roman empire. Before that time ii
was sort of terrestrial paradise.
When Rome, however was obliged
TO resign her position as THE mistress
OF the world" the campagna was aban
doned and gradually became marshy,
malara-infected desert, inhabited only
by few hardy shepherds.
Prince Aldobrandini has engaged a
company to reclaim huge estate of
several thousands Of acres which he
owns in the campagna.
SO happy have the results at the ex-
perimental station been that it is
hoped that soon work may be begun
for the total reclaiming of the whole
Of the campagua

Tasmania,s Artsslan Water.

The dry season experienced in Tas-
mania last simmer caused the state
government to examine The county
known as the Midlands for artesian
water. The area surveyed was APP
proximately 800 square miles, The
investigation has shown that there is
no arteslan water in the Midlands,
bur that there exist definite sub-ar-
tesian basins from which apprecidble
quantities Of water Of very fair quail
ity may be drawn. The investigation,
the first of it's kind in Tasmania, will
make valuable asset of the Midlands,
and will furnish data from which val
liable conclusions can he drawn as to
the conditions affecting irrigation.

Ingenious "Aatroom Pirates"

Two hatr0om pirates In q Broad

spool of thread the other night. When
they were pulled apart it was learned
that they use white thread to loosen
change from tightwads. They cut the
thread in little strips. When per-
son refuses to tip for being brushed
off, the boys wait until he reaches the
front door, then rush after him and
begin apparently to pull number of
white ravelings off his back. Then
they show them to the tightwad. 1t is
always good for dime.-New York
