IT IS

Charles E. Mace, in the May Popular
 Mechanics Magazine.
 k7G0HE only city in the United States
 boosting of sewer system in
 which all the pipes, were laid by Mother Earth is Bowling Green, Ky. Although the prosperous little municipality has population of 15,- 900 there is not a foot of man-made sewer pipe in any of the streets or alleys
 The explanation is that the city is built over a forma ton of oolitic white lime stone which is maze of connected crevices extending to considerable depth below the surface much the same formation as tha. of the famous Mammoth Cave, just 30 miles distant. This limestone is said to be composed of the -fassilized eggs of prehistoric ma rine animals. The logs of oil wells drilled iii the western Kentucky fields show that limestone of one kind or another is encountered as deep as drilling has ever yet been carried.
 When new residence Is being built in the Bowling Green region. a "sink finder" is employed, who merely goes out in the back yard and digs about in the red surface soil, which Is sell dom more than three feet deep, until he locates a Assure. A garden hose 's then placed. in the crevice, and the water is allowed to run until it is free from Instructions. It is then approved by the city inspector, and the house has perfect sewer connection. No city

NATURAL SEWER SYSTEM

has a more sanitary system. Chemists say the sewage would be purified in very short distance by passing through the limestone. Seepage never comes to the surface, the explanation of geol- ogists being that it flows through these natural passageways in the stone until it finally finds an outlet Tn the river bed
 An interesting character Is found in Uncle" Henry Jameson, an aged negro who has specialized in locating fis- sures and digging sinks" for the past 25 years. When asked just how many he had dug. he laughed and said. 'Lawdy. Boss. reckon couldn't count that many" Uncle Henry uses the divining rod, or witch stick" as he calls 1t, in locating the Assures. and declares he would never dig without first employing his forked peach tree branch. The frequency with which his though Henry is 74 years of age. his services in this capacity are in sucs demand that the builders will not let him retire, and he has just signed d contract to locate sinks for 25 new residences now under construction in the city.
 It is fortunate for Bowling Green that nature has provided this elaborate and efficient scheme When one con siders that the surface soil is not suf- fciently deep in many places to bury the sewer pipes, it is obvious that the expense of digging trenches in the usual way would be prohibitfve.

tempts to communicate with them by speech and signs were equally fruitless, and the offer of knives. fishhooks and mirrors appealed to them only as an indication of weakness. Seeing no arms among pr. Rice's party. four of the Guaharidos suddenly advanced and loosed their arrows, one of which fell close beside pr. Rice. On a shot being fired over their heads they quickly took cover, but renewed the attack. and pr Rice. who takes the keenest interest in the South American Indians and had no wish to prolong the encounter. de- cided to retreat in the launch.
 These Guaharidos indians, several of whom were killed during the fighting, are savage tribe and are much dread- ed by the other Indian races. They live In cylindrical houses. with roofs taper ing to point, but roam the mountains and forests for a great part of the year. Their food consists chiefly of the raw flesh of wild animals and fish. They bury their dead in baskets. which are afterward exhumed and burned. the ashes being preserved

Cincinnati Shippers Slow
in Using the Waterway

t8 HI OSlnE the W dteTWdyS c1r1HE Queen City, Cincinnati river
 U boat that made two trips to New Orleans and return, will be limited to traffic between Cincinnati and Louisville. The Times-Star asks the reason for abandonment of the Mis- sissippi river route and declares, "The south has not done it's part in furnish ing freight and passengers" The vessel did not pick up a pound of freight at New Orleans on its return trip.
 But who are to blame more than the citizens of Cincinnati and the up- per Mississippi for not making. the Queen City earn her return trip ?, The sugar, coffee, salt and rice were available at New Orleans for every wholesale grocer on the Mississippi and Ohio and were to be had at a saving of 20 to 30 per cent of the freight rate. If the Queen City took on no freight at New Orleans it was because up-river merchants, and espe- cially those in the home town of the Queen City, were not alive to their opportunities and were paying high rail rates on sugar, coffee, rice and salt from New Orleans when they might as well have gotten these com modities by the Queen City at low water rates.
 It might interest the Times-Star to know that Birmingham and northern Alabama points are regularly sup plying themselves with commodities brought from New Orleans on regular weekly schedules by Warrior river vessels and that Chattanooga, At lanta, Meridian and West Point, Miss, also avail themselves of the freight rate saving of 20 per cent arising from use of the river route via the Port of Birmingham.
 None of us is using the inland waterways as we should, but the Times-Star should criticize the ship pers of Cincinnati, not southerners, for failure to patronize their own vessel.

 Although many contributions have already been received, it is hoped that today and tomorrow, but particularly today, there will be 2 rush to send in books and money. The Central High school has only about 1000 books saved from the fire which de- stroyed the school building. At least 5000 are needed to provide students with reading courses and reference works.

LUKE M,LuKE SAYS

All you have to do to name 10 great leaders of men is to name 10 women. If we would quit climbing hills be- fore we get to them and quit crossing bridges that are not there, there wouldn't be so much weariness in the world.
 Of course, it is none of our business. But there are lot of men who own bath robes who couldn't remember the last time they had a bath.
 Before wise man goes into politics he should take special course in not writing letters.
 The dear things borrow punches of store hafd from one another so often that it isn't good policy to tell girl that she has her fathers eyes and her mothers hair.
 Men like to brag about their charity. But, at that, they manage to keep the cost of giving lower than the cost of living.
 Man was made to mourn. Just about buy new automobile tire his wife makes him spend it on new shoes for the children.
 A smart woman will cut three-f foot "v'' in the front of a kimono and cut the bottom off until it Is knee-h high and then call the result negligee,
 woman will spend eight hours cleaning the house when she expects company and then spend the next eight hours apologizing because the house Is so untidy
 If, they ever took a census of liars in this country it wouldn't look much diff ferent from the ordinary census re- port.

INDIANS OF ORINOCO VALLEY.

From the London Field.
 7NHE story of pr. Hamilton Rice's
 latest expedition to tropical
 South America, as told by him to the Fellows of the Royal Geographi- cal society, was one of fascinating in- terest. Dr. Rice set out in the latter part of 1919 and carried on his explor- ation for some seven months. during which he made hazardous voyage in specially designed 45-foot launch up the Rio Negro, the great left bank trib- utary of the Amazon, to the upper reaches of the Orinoco river. During the voyage up the Orinoco pr. Rice dis covered at Esmeralda an Interesting link with the explorers of the last cen tury in the person of an old Indian named Pedro Caripoco, who had accom- panied the French explorer Chaffanjon on an expedition up the river in 1886.
 Caripoca joined pr. Rice's party and was able to point out at many places the level that the water had reached in December, 1886, many feet above its level in January of last year. It was during. this part of the expedition that Dr. Rice's party had an exciting en- counter with band of wild Indians of the Guaharodos tribe. The explorer had encamped on the bank of the river and two of the party were proceeding down stream when one of them espied an Indian peering through some bushes. They immediately returned and gave the alarm. but pr. Rice had no time to act before the banks were thronged by infuriated Guaharidos. led by a hideous creature who looked like the incarnation of some hybrid forest mon ster.
 Big and muscular, with broad faces. the Indians were armed with long bows and arrows. clubs and slaves, and the dtn Of their yells was incessant. At
