PREPARING RICE FIELDS.
Are Really Shallow Ponds Surrounded
nv Low Mud Walls.

Rice fields resemble no other fields, be
cause they are not fields but shallow
ponds. They are of all shapes and sizes
each surrounded by low mud wall
rising a foot or SO above the water that
fills the field" Each season the walls
have TO be faced with fresh mud. On the
tops of the walls a row Of peanuts or
beans is grown, for no space may be
wasted lit is good farming TO draw ouL
the water from the '"fields" or paddles at
harvest. but this cannot always be done
If it is done, the field Is left IN the con-
dition of a swamp. 1t slowly dries and
then a winter dry-land crop Is sown, or
the stubble-covered paddy is simply left
To itself. In the spring the water Is
let in. and the farmer, his son or wife,
or all three, dig the grOund-a heavy

LIGHTS HOUSE BY WATER.
French Scientist Tells How to Utilize
Wasted Energy.


Every house with its own electric
generating installation is the dream
which NJ. T. CoIardeau, French scientist,
expounded before the French Academy
of Sciences recently. We waste too
much energy, was his text, and he pro-
ceeded to show how scandalous was
waste.
Wind power, he said, was wasted
wholesale, but even more culpable was
the waste of water power within ones
own house. THE force of every kitchen
and bathroom tap is wasted" he de
clared, and he put forward a scheme
which. he believes. can be made practi-
cable to utilize the force from the water
that runs from every kitchen tap, which
Paris derives from a reservoir 200 feet
above the city.
This is where NJ. Colardeau's invention
comes in. In his own house he has fixed
on his supply pipe a high-speed water
turbine, giving directly to a dynamo.
with a little battery of accumulators.
Every time that the taps are turned on
the little generating station works and
the batteries accumulate the energy from
the water. With his own installation
the scientist claims he can light one
500-candle power lamp. or 20 lamps of
from II to 20 candle power.
In his house he uses no other install
lation, and it never gives out and never
costs him anything. In the country
place. NJ. COlardeau would use the wind
to pump water up to the required heights
and SO transfer the wind energy into
water energy. which. in turn. would be
apparatus similar to that described
above.
when we've done that" he conclud-
ed, I'VE needn't any longer worry about
the exhaustion of the coal stocks of the
world. New York Times.

RAISING BEARD IN JAIL.
Shaved When She Married. Now Wants
to Get Freak" Job.

4
A woman has voluntarily gone to jail
| in the New Castle, Del, Jail in order that
her beard may grow shielded from the
pubIic gaze She is Mrs Edward Ferris
and for many years she sat in the side
show of a circus and displayed her lux
uriant whiskers. She was thrifty and
managed to save $1,000 Nine years ago
Ferris. a glass blower of Millville, n. J.,
wOoed and won her.
She married him and shaved off her
chief stock in trade. Ferris took her
money and invested it in oil stocks which
never were heard of again. A year ago
he left her and their four-year-old daugh-
ter.
She was in desperate straits. She
could not raise her beard unless she found
privacy. She decided Jail would be the
best place. She put her daughter in a
home and hired a horse and carriage,
which she sold in Tuckerton n J., for
$50. but the law let her go. She tried the
experiment again in Chester, Pa. Once
more the authorities were annoyingly mer-
ciful. Having failed in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, she decided to try third
time in Delaware She was arrested in
Wilmington and sent to the workhouse.
The beard is already coming along
nicely. 1t is well past the stubble stage
and is breaking into silky waves. Mrs.
Ferris believes that when her nine months
sentence is up she viii be able to rejoin
the old side show and display her hirsute
decoration as of yore.-Boston Herald.

PHIL CAMPBELL'S N SCHOOL PROSPECTS
 UNUSUALLY BRIGHT

Phil Campbell, September a. tspecial.)-Great interest was mani fested at the opening of the Phil Campbell High school Monday The prospects for large enrolment are more encouraging than ever in the history of the institutions
 It is source of eradication to the community to have Prof. John G. Rea and Miss Eulah John Witt as associate principals. They are won cerful leaders and have working with them an unusually qualified fac u.ty, and the courses given will bs strong and constructive
 Under the direction of Mrs Carl Gllliland the athletics enthusiasts are greatly encouraged in the pros poets of Al football and basketball teams at Phil Campbell this fall. The school affords many excellent play CTS, and they are ready to begin work in earnest The outlook is most promising
 Since the needs and capacities of the individual pupils vary so widely, no set of exercises or studies can be strictly adhered to. However, the music department is affiliated with the best southern conservatories. A very interesting feature of the music department will be the advantages of the chorus. All students who are interested in choral music and who can meet the necessary requirements in voice and sight reading will be admitted to the chorus. The chorus will study part song. cantatas, etc, and give a number of public con certs

Someone must have broken into the library after MT. Danby left" Natalie cut In quickly.
 Smithson flung her discreetly re- tuking glance.
 Don't you remember that I locked the windows before Mir Danby came in?' He turned to the secretary. You were early up this morning, sir. lou. found the windows locked and opened two of them didnt you?"
 Maurice hesitated, racking his i brains to recollect He had much on his mind early this morning, with the problems of Mir. Ducane's various business interests looming up before him.
 He had risen at s:3o and gone down to the library to write some letters Yes, he remembered opening two of the windows.
 You found them bolted!" querisd the lawyer, his shrewd eyes on Mau- rices young face. T rather think so,' said the lat ter slowly "One of them was bolt ed, anyhow I can't be so certain

 Not only the lawyer, but Smith son. the butler. was regarding him cautiously.
 He spoke up.
 "I wish Mir. Ducane could be told about his loss. As his secretary I'm naturally placed in an awkward po- sition when things fo amss"
 The heart of Natalie sank lower What a wicked girl she was to sup press the information anent Farrel Galt's belated visit to the library,
 But she'd utterly lacked courage. And now it was too late to make any announcement of the sort.
 Besides, what on earth would they all think of her, having counte- Eanced such visit?
 She'd have to explain, too, how ', : had entered by the library window, and had refused to go away.
 Even then she could give no ex- cuse for her behavior, for it would have been an easy matter to have summoned servants to her aid.
 To confess the truth would mean scandal. The old lawyer-Smith- son--even Maurice would believe that Farrel had some hold on her--that an intrigue of some sort was go- ing on.
 Silence was the only policy at present.
 But she would get in touch with Galt as soon as possible. and force him to return the stolen papers.
 One of the nurses at this june ture came to summon her to her uncles bedside.
 The doctors morning visit had been paid and MT. Ducane was waiting with a pleased expectancy for the arrival of Natalie.
 She tried to drive the worried look from her face before she entered the presence of the sick man
 Good morning. uncle. You look splendid today. We'll have you up and about in no time"
 She drew a chair near him. He smiled happily at the young girl She was the apple of his eye
