I Tradition of Modern Flying Dutchman That Masaachuaetta Fishermen Firmly Believe In. The burial of John Winters, recalled to old-time fishermen a tradition of a modern Flying Dutchman with its ghostly crew that was believed to roam the seas in pursuit of a ship that had sent them to the bottom, relates a correspondent from Gloucester. Win ters was the last survivor of the crew pf the Gloucester schooner, Charles Haskell, which in a storm in " ?? * Jawm ?tn/l oonlr o Jinri'ii, j out/, iuu uun u auu oaua u I Salem schooner and Its entire crew on Georges fishing banks. He died at the Fishermen's Snug Harbor in his eighty-second year, repeating almost to the last the tale of the ghost ship supposed to have pursued the Has kell throughout Its career as a-fish erman. Once off Eastern point, at the en I trance of Gloucester harbor, Winters said, a schooner ran down the wind, hove alongside the Haskell, and its phantom crew climbed the rigging, de claring, themselves the ghosts of the Salem fishermen. Winters and others of the yaskell's crew refused to fish in the ship again and a new crew was taken on. These returned with a sImllar*story of ghost ly visitations at sea, took their dun nage bags and quit. Another and still a fourth crew were shipped, but each came to port with a renewal of the story of a ship shrouded in white and a specter crew, and the Haskell was hauled up, unable to get men. It fin ished Its seagoing as a sand freighter, and the Salem ship was not heard j>t again. ' URUGUAY RICH IN AMETHYSTS Gems Found in "Goedes," Which It Nature's Way of Storing Precious Stone* for Posterity. The northwestern part of Urug'uay In a newly discovered field for the pro duction #of amethysts, which occur In "geodes." The geodes, so plentiful that they are picked up In the fields, are carried on mule-back or in carts to the nearest Railway station and shipped in barrels to Salto. whence they are transported by river boat to Montevideo. Naturally, it will be asked, What Is a geode? Originally, It was a hole In rock. Water perflating through the rock deposited silica, making a lining for the cavity. The lining grew thick er and thicker, and after a long time, If the rock were broken <*? ' weath ered" to pieces, a hard nodule would drop out. The nodule Is a geode; and If, as sometimes happens, the silica has formed crystals Inside of It, colored by metallic salts, the goede Is ft little Jewel box containing ame thysts.

The surprifng idea that an arid climate Is thfmosi favorable for ag riculture Is explained by a report on the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project Tn Otl/lK n in nit; Slum vl ii osiiiu^ivu. in ouui u climate plant growth Is stimulated by almost continuous sunshine, there is no night chilling of the soil following cloudy days, and crops are harve.vted promptly without spoilage by ^aln, the products being greatly Improved and the harvesting cost lessened. The chief advantage of all, however, is control of the water, which by arti ficial irrigation can be supplied at the* best time and in the quantities needed by the crop^T The scant rainfall of the Columbia basin area ha* been a preparation for the new method, for the moisture has not been sufficient to leach away the stored plnntfood, but /there has been drainage enough to prevent the accumulation of alkali salts, the most soluble of the earth's constituents.

Tihis con dition was reported to the Secretary T i. ~ J 1 T> 1 1 T> If ui uauur \wjay oy xwwiauu x>. ma hany, who was sent to Europe by the Wilson administration to attend the session's of the international com mission on immigration and emigra tion and whose resignation was ac cepted last week by President Hard ing. 1 Low wages are preventing many Englishmen from coming to this country, the report said, while in France the present rate of exchange on the franc is an almost insur mountable barrier to immigration. There was said to be a noticeable note of expectancy in England for better times, but rather a lack of optimism among the poorer classes of France. In both countries, how ever, the laboring classes were said to be getting plenty of "wholesome food. B. H.
