Set Speed Record.

Substituting bricks for the old

thieves, John Butler, forty-seven
years old, of 401 Howard road south
east, was so efficient in aiming that
one casualty was marked down and
five or six colored boys marked up
new speed records for sprints.
The casualty" was Edward Berry,
eleven-year-old colored boy, of 756
Howard road southeast. DR.. l.. J.
Scott, 2505 Nichols avenue south
east, found he had a badly cut face
and a possible fracture of the jaw.
Police say that Butler, angered by
the repeated thefts of vegetables
from his little garden, decided to
watch the patch. His eagle eyes
perceived several forms stealing into
his garden. Tomatoes disappeared
with alarming rapidity, and Butler,
heaving bricks Unfortunately, cut
another notch in his list of game.
The police doubt that any more fitch

Odd Facts About Gold.

DEW persons are familiar with the
= real color of gold. because 1t is
seldom seen except when heavily al
loyed, q state In which it is much
redder than when 1t Is pure. 81
The purest coins ever made were
the $50 pieces which were once in
common use in California Their
coinage was abandoned because the
loss by abrasion was SO great and
because their interior could be bored
out and Allied with lead. They were
octagonal in shape and were, the
most valuable coins ever minted and
circulated. 1
All gold is not alike when refined.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken in California. More
over, placer gold is more yellow than
that which Is taken from quart.
This is one of the mysteries of metal1
iurgy.e because the gold in placers
comes from that which is' In quartz

To Battle a Flood.

nNE of the engineering difficulties
- to be overcome In the construc-
ton of irrigation canals is the ero-
sion of the bitches where the grade
or fall of the ditch is so great as
to cause the water to flow swiftly.
The prevention of erosion is accom-
plished in various ways, such as con-
structing a series of small water
falls or terraces, etc. A novel and
apparently effective plan was tried
and adopted by one of the engineers
of the reclamation service In
project where IL was desired to tap
one of the big canals and carry the
water to a lower level, by embedding
boulders in solid concrete. The ditch
was built of concrete and in a dis
tance of something over a hundred
yards, where 1T was seen that the flow
of the water would be very swift,
large rocks, as big as mans body.
several hundred of them, were
buried in the bed of the canal.
When the cement set these. of
course, became fixed and immovable,
presenting in the aggregate a large
surface of resistance to the rushing
water when turned into the ditch.
and delivering it with comparatively
little force into the basin below.
whence 1t is led off through another
ditch. To have run this short con-
Meeting ditch on two levels or with
la waterfalI at either end would have
been a considerably more expensive
method. The plan devised by the
reclamation engineer to retard the
unwelcome flow commends itself for
it's ingenuity as well as for Its prac-
ticability.
