THE AUSTRALIAN NIGHT WELL
Remarkable Kind Of Wstsr Hole
Which e Dry During Day but
Filled At Night

In the deserts Of Western Austria.
liza there are sources Of water supply
called water holes, that are usually
found in the solid rock. Many Of
these holes are shaped ike a caraie,
with a narrow meek and wide cavity
below, and some Of them hold thou
sands Of gallons Of water.
There is a remarkable kind Of
Australian water hole, known as a
"night-well,' which is dry during
the day but filled with water at
night. When; with the darkness,
the water begins to flow, persons
nearby can hear the sound OF rush
ing air. Examination has been
made Of one OF these wells in which
the water gathered in a long, mar
row trench. Near the bottom OF it
was found a horizontal pit that sep
arated a thin layer Of gneiss from
the Gasin mass. 1t is believed that
in the daytime the high tempera-
ture causes the plate Of gueiss to ex-
pahd in the form Of an arch, and
that the water in the trench re-
treats into the cavity that is thus
formed. When, at night, the. plate
Of gheiss contracts, it forces first
air and then water into the trench.

EVEN SENATORS DON'T RULE

One" Waxsd Sarcastic al Hubby's
Expense, the Morning After.

The story is still told In chuckle
circle in Washington, where old GRO
mics get together, Of the night when
+. w. Pettus, senator from Alabama,
then eighty-two years old, stayed out
too late.
The day after the escapade the sem
ate was drOning along and Mr.. Nc
Cumber was making a speech that
was well studded with statistics and
entirely denuded OF thrills. The SEN
ators drifted into the cloak rooms.
Only Senator Pettus remained. sud
denly his shoulders were seen to be-
gin 10 shake with mirth, and some
observer went over 10 learn what, in
so dry a speech, could have made him
laugh.
he said he had played poker with
the Joe Cannon crowd the night be-
fore and when the hour Of midnight
arrived, the time at which Mrs. Pet
tus required his presence at home, he
had all the blue chips and could not
gracefully get away. So he played
till three o'clock.
When he got home he pulled N his
shoes at The front door, slipped into
his room, mdressed in the dark and
sought to 90 to bed. Mrs, Pettus, un-
fortunately, had east anchor In the
exact middle OF the bed. SO he be-
slowed himself most intentionally
ON the edge and courted Morpheus in
vain.
Just at dawn Mrs. Pettus swoke.
The senator pretended that he was
sleeping. she got mp on her elbow
aud looked at her partner for 80 years
In the increasing light. Instantly she
detected his discomfort.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By J. E. Jones)
Warren G. Harding


 1 There were plenty of references from Marion, by reporters who were stationed there during the days of the front porch campaign" and the succeeding conferences with "thoughtful men," to the conditions of nerves" debeloped by the "Presi- dent-elect" Senator Harding admit ted that he was worn almost to a frazzle when the campaign was over; but by the time he got back from Panama he was again in fine condition. Evidently the conflicting opinions of the thoughtful men" al- most wore him out once more, and the reporters had stories about their difficulties in obtaining statements and interviews with him. They won dered about it a great deal, and de- scribed his changed manner.
 All of which might indicate, in the first place, that the new President found himself perplexed and out of patience because the thoughtful men" thought in so many different kinds of ways that he will be obliged after all, to depend almost entirely on his own thoughts in framing his policies. And having the same kind of nerves" that the Creator has as- signed to all other human beings, the uew nracironf uho,,a nuorx-holx- knows, wants to be frank and straightforward, is likely to need a good many fishing trips in order to keep his vision clear and his judg- ment running straight. He is man with a far more vigorous frame and constitution than Woodrow Wilson brought with him to the discharge of the affairs of the Presidency, but it looks as though he will have to culti- vate forebearance and patience a great deal before he will be able to find much happiness in his new task at the White House.
 Unfortunately, neither Wilson nor Harding are so constituted that they will ever be able to "cuss 'em out" like Roosevelt, or forget it" and be happy, according to the fashion of William Howard Taft.

be among the first acts of the Hard ing Administration.
 The President-elect and his closest advisers doubtless hold to the purpose to "scrap" the Versailles agreement. But, while the document may not be acceptable as the basis for interna- tional affairs, there is no question but what the matter uppermost in impor- tance to our future welfare, is the finding of policy that will promise passing by Congress, over the Pres ident's veto, of the bill to reduce the Army from 28O,O0O to 175,OOO men, and the determination to reduce war expenses. Republican leader Mondell, in the House, has made vigorous de- nunciation of the policy of perpetual ing the burdens of war upon the tax payers of the Nation during peace times.

The rice outlook is growing better. We understand that some has been sold for $1.02 1-2 during the past few days. We predict that by the first of March the price will be con- siderably above dollar bushel for the best grades. Several sales have been made in the district at from 75 to 90 cents we are informed whnh shows a great improvement. The prospects are that rice will gradually increase in price from this time on and if it gets to a dollar or better the financial situation will be greatly re- lieved.
