Desert Made Habitable.
In the southwest coro.•l ,.i f;l ace,
between the rivers Ado.:' n1.•1 I;:irons
ne, are long stretches of pine woods,
green and cool. Where these pines
now stand was a barren waste in the
middle of the eighteenth century. Sun
and wind vied with each other in mak-
ing the land drier and dustier. Over
the stormy Bay and Biscay came
winds that set up great sand storms
and sometimes burled whole villages.
But at last there came along a man
olio acknowledged fate only as some-
thing to be overcome. His name was
Bremontier and he was an Inspector
of roads.
He began fencing in the desert, He
built u fence and behind It planted a
handful of broom seeds. Behind the
broom seeds he put seeds of the pine.
The fence protected the broom seeds
and the broom grew, Then the broom
to its turn afforded shelter to the del-
icate pine shoats.
Soon the pines spread and their
tough roots bound the sandy soil to-
gether. The first step was accom-
plished. Then canals were made to
drain the wet parts and carry water
to the dry.—New York Evening Post
Walnut Stump Worth $250.

county farmers, more than $250, ac-
cording to Junction City (Kan.) dis-
patch.
The brothers recently purchased all
of the walnut trees and have been
cutting them down and shipping the
timber to St. Loula and Kansas City
markets, where It commands high
prices.
The big stamp weighs more than
nine tone and the portion above
ground measures fifty inches across,
while the portion that was under-
ground was even larger. It Is esti-
mated that the huge chunk of timber
would make gunstocks enough for an
entire regiment.
Based on present prices, the tree of
which this stamp germed the base
will bring in more than 8250.

By stimulating the appetite for news,
and by making 1t easter to collect In-
forinatlon, the Dally Acts brought
about a remarkable growth of Roman
journalism. It did more t.huu merely
record the proceedings of the senate;
It gave a daily list of births and
deaths, touched oa financial news by
noting the receipts of the tax depart-
ment, told the news of both the civil
and the crimlunl courts, and reported
eleetlons and other political events. A
few years nater, waren Rowe had be-
come au empire, it regularly gave de-
tailed mews of the imperial family. In-
deed, the new emperor, Augustus, tak-
ing Csesar's hint, used the Acts freely
to promote his personal views.
The natural result of all this was the
demand for more accessible news. Soon
the number of hand-written news
chronicles increased. Thus the Acts
began to circulate commonly among the.
well-to-do, and Roman ladies are men-
tioned as "reading the morning paper."
This "home edition" was an enlarged
Issue of the Forum edition, and the
varlous "publishers" supplemented the
news that they procured from the bul-
letin board with additional news gath-
ered from other sources. Dictating to
a number of copyists et once, they
could "run oft" an edition of 50 or
even 100 copies, though the usual num-
her for one publisher was probably not
above 12. A still more enlarged edi-
tion, but apparently not a deity, was
written for the "mail," and travelers
in the provinces sometimes stayed over
to await it when It did not arrive on
time. The Daily Acts was published
for 300 years or more.—Youth's Com-
panion.
Building Houses in China.
All lumber for building in China is
bought In the Ing, says H. le. Richard-
son, writing in Asia magazine. As soon
as the logs begin to arrive the con-
tractor tackles them with the saw-
yers. These men are paid piece rates
Ivhlch average about three cash or
one-tenth of a cent per square foot of
surface sawed. They average a bet-
ter wage than a carpenter, getting
about 10 cents a day, as compared
with 8 cents a day for the carpenter.
At this rate they are cheaper than
any steam saw mill that can operate
in China. In fact, the only reason a
saw mill can operate in China at all
is because it can produce quickly and
with a more even thickness than the
native sawyers. The necessary doors,
frames and window sashes are ail
made by hand. Three Chinese carpen-
ters at 8 cents a day with their na-
tive tools can accomplish about the
same work done by one Canadian car.

Slnee the villa had been closed by
the authorities, pending the outcome
of Landru's trial, no watchman had
been detailed to guard the house. An
official who visited the villa a short
time ago found the shutters, doom and
windows smashed. Everything port-
able had been taken, from kitchen

HIDDEN TREASURE 1N INDIA
Tka talk of draining the River
Wash in England and turning it into
fertile farm lands, has roused much
speculation as to buried treasure.
If this were done there is cer-
tainly a chance that the treasure of
King John might be recovered, for
it is known that somewhere in that
great sandy estuary lie his golden
crown, his jewels, and his treasure
chests.
There is another royal treasure ly-
ing hidden in some rocky chasm in
the mountains of Wales. It is that
of ,Edward 11., which he hid in the
year 1326 when flying from his vic-
torious Queen Isabella through the
wilds of Glatnorganshire. So secure-
ly was it hidden that the search made
for it was vain.
Why do we spend thousands in fit-
ting out expeditions to pirate islands
in tropic seas when the soil of our
own country is full of buried gold?

PROHIBITION'S WORK AFTER
TWO YEARS
Mr. P. W. Wilson, formerly an
English member of Parliament, and
now American correspondent for an
English paper, was com®ieaioaed
some time ago to make a report on
the subject of American prohibition
for the consideration of social stud-
ents in the United Kingdom, and in
the New York Times he gives an
abstract of what his report will be.
Mr• Wilson as an Engliehman is prob-
ably an unprejudiced observer, al-
though it is to be admitted that
unless one knows the private habits
of any person speaking on the sub-
ject it is impossible to tell whether
he is biased and in which direction.
In hie review he states fairly both
sides of the question and gives an
explanation as to how the Eight-
eenth Amendment came to be
passed. Ile makes the shrewd re-
mark that American rprohibition ie
the work .of the American women,,
and that the Eighteenth Amend-
ment abolishing liquor is really a
twin to the Nineteenth Amendment
giving the vote to women.
No change is more familiar in
discussion of American prohibition
than that against the Anti -Saloon
League of springing prohibition on
the people against their will and
bludgeoning the measure through
various State Legislatures and 'finally
through Congresa. There can be
little doubt that some of their
methods were rather rough. We
have heard that in some cases pub-
lic men were threatened that some
of their private acts would be re-
vealed to their electorate if they did
not support prohibition even against
their will and their better judgment.
Mr. Wilson merely remarks that
life is a rough-and-tumble game,
and that the methods of the league
are of less importance than the forces
which made it so powerful. He
finds that the country was slowly,
but surely, going dry ,before the
coming of national prohibition and
seems to be of the opinion that
the whole country would have eventu-
ally dried up with the exception of
the large cities.
The prohibition movement began
in the South, where it eras com-
plicated to some extent with the
question of color. A negro full of
vile gin would commit some hor-
rible crime and automatically the
great majority of people in the eom-
munity would be turned into pro-
hibitionists. For a long time the
Protestant churches had been united
on the subject of prohibition and
had been powerfully organized. It
was this organization that was to
a large extent taken over by the
Anti -Saloon League. There was
also the influence of large employ-
ers of labor, who believed. that pro-
hibition would result in the greater
efficiency of their workingmen. He
believes that the fact that many of
the large brewers were of German
origin, and that many of the hotel -
keepers were Germane, hats, in
many instances, something to do
with the .growing !prejudice against
the liquor traffic in a country which
in the years of war was generally
anti -German.
Mr. Wilson notes the failure of
either of the .great parties to adopt
a wine and beer plank in the Presi-
dential election campaign. He
finds it still more significant that the
new 'Congress has strengthened the
Volatead Act in important particu-
lars, and 'beliey'es the prohibitionists
are justified in their claim that they
are more firmly entrenched in the
Capitol than ever. While there is a
lot of homebrewing, the fact that
this involves some trouble, and that
the trouble devolves usually ,upon the
housewife, who, in the main 48 a pro-

The- almnt of hard liquor Myo
'drunk is, in the opinieri of Mr. W91 -
what was drunk before prohibition.
The tremendous prime which are
obtained for genuine whiskey is
infallible proof on this point. 'He
finds little positive evidence that
prohibition has increased the mem-
ber of drug 'addicts to any impor-
tant extent, although he admits
that reports from various states are
co/Aiding. He quotes David Belem -
co, epeaidn for•the theatre, that
prohibition bas been a benefit, and

thing for the legitimate hotel busi-
ness. 'Mr. Wilson sees little pros-
pect of the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment. It could hardly be
accomplished in a• few years, no
matter what agitation were carried
on, and if it is not done in a few
years he believes that as a new
generation of voters arises, never
having tasted liquor, the prospect
of repeal becomes negligible.
A RHINOCEROS HORSE
The best referred to in the Bible
as a "unicorn" is almost: undoubtedly
the single -horned rhinoceros of
Southern Asia, which, needless to say,
is a very formidable 'beast.
At Calcutta there is a famous Zoo,
which, specialising lin Asiatic anil-
mals, keeps on exhibition a number
of rhinos of this speeiee.
The other day a native who had
never be pre seen a rhinoceros visited
the Zoo and, overcome with amaze-
ment, was suddenly 'inspired with an
ambition to ride the biggest one,
which at the moment lay peacefully
dozing in his pen. He proceeded
thereupon to climb the iron fence, de-
spite the ,protests of other persona
who sought to restrain him and who
looked in vain for a guard or keeper
to prevent the crazy action.
Once over the fence he boldly strad-
dled the (huge animal, land looked
around him for admiration. But the
rhinoceros, amazed and indignant,
leaped up with, surprising agility,
threw the man off, impaled him with
his horn, cast him thirty feet into
the air and then lay down upon him
Guards, summoned to the scene, kill-
ed the beast with explosive bullets.
The man was dragged out of the pen,
still breathing; but be Mod a few
hours later,
Extensive deposits of phosphate
rock have been discovered in ]Oast -
ern Holland.
A new motor cultivator first pikws
up the ground, then sifts it free of
weeds.
