WATER FROM ARTESIAN WELL
Why Method of Bringing 1t to Sur
face Is Only Successful in Ger
tain Localities.

Arfesian wells are possible only In
certain localities. When there are
pervious strata lying between i'm
pervious beds the water percolating
through will be imprisoned; lying up
on the lowest. and rising to some
point in the highest, when Il previous
stratum brings ii to the surface and
ii escapes in the form of spring If,
however, Il shaft can be sunk TO the
lowest point the water of the whole
basin will pass upward for escape
and will rise to a level corresponding
to the greatest height to which the
imprisoned strata reaches. The wells
were named from one mt Artois,
France. which was the first sunk with
fun knowledge of the principle in
volve'l. The Chinese from time inn
memorial have used these wells. and
hey have also been used for cen
turtles in the neighborhood Of Vienna.

Paris, throws water to a height of -

Claim Action Is Forced Upon
Them by Taxation and
Death Duties.
MUST SEEK SMALLER HOMES
One Big Landed Proprietor After
Another Is Dividing and Selling
His HoIdings-ln Same Families
for Many Centuries.

London.-England's great estates
are crumbling under the weight of
taxation and death duties and one big
landed proprietor after another among
the nobility is dividing and selling his
holdings, many of which have been in
the hands of single families for CEN
turies
The latest indication that peers are
finding it necessary to seek smaller
homes comes In the announcement of
the duke of Portland that he may have
to abandon his palatial mansion,
Welbeck Abbey. in Nottinghamshire.
This Is only one of the residences of
the duke. who owns some 100000
acres in England.
Duke Expresses Fears.
"For centuries past landed estates
have been handed down from genera
tion to generation" said the duke,
addressing his tenants on the occasion
of the coming of age of his son Lord
Francis Cavendish. Landlords and
tenants have lived on terms of mutual
trust and affection. ! fear. however,
that the state of things Is passing
away. for with the present weight of
taxation and the extremely Onerous
death duties, the future may become
very uncertain for all landed pro-
prietors. If this is good for the
country. I certainly do not complain.
with regard to my own case, IT may
not be possible for me and my family
to continue to reside at Welbeck, but
fear that there can be little doubt
that those who come after me will not
be able to do so.''
Many Connections Severed.
On all sides historic houses are find
ing new tenants and ancient families
are severing their connection with the
soil. The duke of Devonshire sold

FINDS SECRET OF HIS ORIGIN

that his twenty-times-g great t-grandfathe
was wire-haired baboon in the wilds
Of Abyssinia and other near-D -Darwinian
monstrosities, were all regarded by
Sergeant John Burrows Of the marine
corps as so much "bunk." Still, his
mind was never at rest.
The sergeant re-enlisted after the
war and was ordered to Guam.
The other day letter was received
at the marine corps recruiting head
quarters. It came from Sergeant Bur-
rows in Guam.

FROM
The sergeant explained that natives
of the island had enlightened him. In
accounting for the origin of man, they
said that everything in the world was
derived from certain rock on the
island Of Guam, which first became
human, then a stone, and gave birth to
all men. From this island men were
scattered all over the world. They
forgot their language and talked like
fools without understanding one an
other nor knowing what was said."-

Wealth and Happjnees.

Much of the anxiety and care of
these days is needless and springs
from an overemphasis Of the amount
of property needed for happiness. Ev-
erything in our country tends to stim-
ulate men toward excessive ambition.
Our climate is rich In oxygen, and is
an irritant to work. The undeveloped
resources OF our land appeal to Gu
pidity-even at time when we begin
to realize that these treasures should
be conserved for our descendants. The
stories of successful men are exploited
with endless variations in magazines
that teach the art Of getting on in
stead Of getting up. Little by little
young men feel that it is a disgrace
to live modestly. Avarice is a virus
in the blood. Undue ambition is pols-
oning the springs Of contentment.

To Jail by Airp,ane.

Aerial policemen in San Francisco
are thus far the first to make use Of
the airplane to conduct q prisoner to
Jail, via the automobile patrol.
The sky route offers the most direct
passage between two places, and in
this instance the prisoner was trans
ferred from the Alexandra county Jail
across the bay of San Francisco to the
locality where an automobile patrol
was waiting to continue the journey
through the city. Where it is neces-
sary to save time, the airplane can
be Of service. as in this case.
When the air becomes crowded with
machines, the arrest Of violators Of
the air-trafflc laws will undoubtedly
become common and aerial patrols
will no longer excite comment.-Pop-
