These ga tubes are so small that it would be th impossible to insert a hair in one of he them without bursting its wall. Some sk times the tubes are bored down to a th depth 6f four or five feet. When the surface dries the water evaporates from the tubes just as it would from a pipe. If the tube is in twisted it takes longer for the water to evaporate. If one takes a T1 rake and stirs the ground after each pr rain he brakes the tops of the tubes m: and the water will stand in them tor pi; months. In this way the farmers of the West, on the semi-arid lands, store the rainfall one year and raise he a crop of wheat every other year? w] there being sufficient water in two ag years, but not enough in one to raise a crop.?Harper's Weekly. pi ? if Hurried to Atlanta. m Cummings, Ga., Sept. 9.?The sending of Bud Smith, a young gro, to Atlanta for safe keeping af- er a'v ter his alleged confession of the as- ^ sault on a young white girl who was found unconscious in a ravine near here to-day prevented a probable lynching and another outbreak of race troubles here.

A Large Contract. Orville Wright said the other day Dayton: "Our aim is to make flying safe, le important thing is not now to oduce aeroplanes that will go 150 iles an hour, but to produce aeroanes that won't fall down." Mr. Wright smiled. "I'm reminded of a flying story," ! went on; "a story about a man 10 called at a biplane selling ;ency and said: " 'My older brother bought a biane here last month.

EXTEXl) RAILRC?\D. s Work Starts oil Greenville & Knoxville Railway This Month. ? Greenville, Sept. 5.?From an of ficial source, it is learned that the - work of extension on the Greenville , & Knoxville Railway will begin with^ in the next 30 days. Within the past week engineers have completed the - survey from Davenport to Gap Creek, 1 a distance of 12 miles. This gap is - at .he top of Saluda ridge and the route laid out by the engineer is on > a grade of 68 feet to the mile. This j is considered a remarkably low grade t for a mountain road and is an agreei able surprise to the promoters. The Gap Creek route is the lowest r across the Blue Ridge mountains bet tween Richmond and Atlanta. Re - cent developments certainly mean that the Knoxville road will be put through within the next 12 months.

Man Arrested for Working Alleged Fake Land Scheme. Lake Charles, La., Sept. 7.? Charged with misuse of the mails in ' connection with an alleged fake land ' scheme, C. M. Fletcher, who professes 1 to be an artist, and claims Chicago as his home, was arrested here -to day by United States Marshal B. Ingouf and a postoffice inspector from Beaumont, Texas. . He will be held in jail pending the next session of the Federal grand jury. Fletcher, who has been living here for three months in a cottage north of West Lake, is said by officers to have been receiving letters at Sulphur and other near-by postoffices in reply to the advertisements in Northern papers of the River Lumber Company and the Bayou Oil Company, one of which offered Louisiana 1 timber lands at ten cents an acre. A Floting Farm. Jenus Soeby's "floating farm" is one of the famous sights of the Columbia river, writes a contributor to the Wide World Magazine. All i the buildings are supported by three raftes made of huge pine logs. Soeby, a veteran of the Spanish American war, got the idea of a floating house boat when travelling in China and 1 Japan, and when he returned home i after the war he built three rafts on , the Columbia river, and on these he erected a house and a warehouse to keep nets and boats, chicken pens, 1 and so on; he also made a garden in 1 which he raised enough vegetables i for the use of his family. Soeby's , farm and inn, floating serenely on the water, soon became a favorite headquarters for fishing parties. 1 Here they were housed and fed, and 1 at night Soeby would play on his old i violin for their entertainment. He , also gave musical lessons. The "farm" was moored in front of the property of Mr. C. E. de Long, who 1 charged Soeby fifty cents a month 1 rental. When Soeby did not pay his < rent for two years de Long secured < a judgment and a writ of ejectment ( from the judge of the superior court, but when the sheriff attempted to enforce the order the water was too 1 low to mov^ the rafts. Recently, af- 1 ter a iresnet, me waiei iusc, emu George Johnson, deputy sheriff, was sent to remove Soeby's property. He hired a river steamer and crew of half a dozen men, pulled up the an- ! chors of the rafts, and towed this < unique floating habitation half a mile down the stream where it was an- < chored, and where Jenus and his wife ; still live.
