Burial of Sir John Moore The death of Sir John Moore at Co rana is probably the best remembered fact in all the checkered history of the peninsular war, for a good reason. There are oets. like .Shenstone, whose fame is secured by a single quatrain. Th» poeti-al reputation of the Rev. Charles Wolfe, who eight year? after the event wrote "The Burial of Sir John Moore," rests on that one production alone. As crrbed. before its author "s name be came known, to s.ich well known poets as Campbell and Byron, the poem took firm hold of a cation's heart. Dying of consumption at the early age of thirty-two, Wolfe's memory will ever be kept green by just that one piece, which "IngoMsby'' oaor.lieJ. which a million school boys have recited, which Lor J Byron pronounced to be "the most ode in the lan guage.

Sims, Warden of the peniten tiary, who is commanded by law to con duct personally every execution, was reported several mouths ago as saying he would resign his office rather than l«rform such a duty. The prison is at Florence, sixty miles from here. When Sims was ques tioned by telephone concerning this staterneut and the preparations for the execution of the eleven men sentenced to death, he replied: ••It is too early to make preparations. The executions do not octeur until De cember 19. I have absolutely nothing to say about any resignation. As soon as necessary, I presume, preparations will begin for killing the eleven men. I do not know who will spring the trap. The executions will be conducted as provided for iu the 1913 Arisona revised statutes."' Asked if the condemned men knew the result of the vote on the abolition of capital punishment which will send tiem to the gallows, the Warden said: "I presume they do. They read the papers. I don't notice any difference in their actions. 1 have not discussed their fate with them." The statutes referred to say: "A judgment of death must be ex ecuted within the walls of the prison.

Geological Survey Has Been En gaged In Systematic Study of Wa ter Resources for the Last Eighteen Years Washington, D. C„ Nov. 27.—For the last eighteen years the U. S. Geo olgieal Survey has been engaged in the systematic study of water.resources of the United States. The specific appro priation for this work has ranged from $12,500 to $200,000 a year. From 1903 to 190S the annual appropriation was $200,000: since 1911 it has been $150,000, but the demand for water resources investigations has been stead ily increasing and at the present tiu.e twice the amount of the impropriation could be profitably and economically expended upon this class of engineering work. In studying the water resources of the country the volume of streams, the location, extent and amount of uuder ground water and the quality of water are determined. A knowledge of un derground water conditions in any sec tion of the country is of general value and is of very special use in the arid and semi-arid portions of the West, for iu many sections underground water is the only source of water for domes:ic use and for Irrigation purposes. The amount of water flowing in a stream at any place is determined from meas urements made of the flow at different stages or heights, in conjunction with a record of the daily stage of the river. With this information the daily flow of a stream is easily computed. Since the dow of a stream defends primarily upon the amount of precipita tion, which varies greatly from year to year, it is evident that to be of value records of the flow should be deter mined for a number of years; that is. at least 5 years up to about 10 to -0 years or even longer, depending upon the stream, its location and the use to be made of the stream. This data is of primary value in all problems involv ing the use or control of water for irri gation. water power, flood control, mu nicipal water supply and drainage. There is no definite relation between precipitation and the flow of streams, so that stream flow can only be deter mined with accuracy from actual roc ords of the dailv flow. In studying the water resources of the United States the country has been divided into 12 main natural drainage basins. A report upon the stream flow of each drainage basin is issued bv the Geological Survey each year. Thus all the stream-flow data during 1912 on streams which flow into the Great bakes and St. Lawrence river have been compiled by Kngiueers t. Covert, A. H. Morton and W. G. Hovt, in Water Supply Paper 324. The total drainage area ot the at. Lawrence river below the mouth of the Oswegatchie river is approximately 383,000 square miles. Of this area, 95,600 square miles, or nearly 25 per cent., is water surface. The area ot Lake Superior is 32.100 square miles. Excluding Lake St. Clair, Ontario is tho smallest of the Great lakes, with an area of 7.400 square miles. The mean ! annual flow of the St. Lawrence river i at Ogdensburg is about 2.-2.000 sec ond-feet, or cubic feet per second. I lie mean annual flow of the Ohio river at its mouth is about 300.000 second feet, with a drainage area of 203.000 square i miles. ~ , . „ Water-Supply Paper 3-4 contains all the information collected during 1. 12 on streams in the St. Lawrence river basin. Records of river stage and dis charge, or river stage only, are given | for some fifty odd gaging stations In addition to the ordinary use made ot : stream flow records, in water power, water supply and flood control studies, the data in "this report are of value in studying the effect of the flow in the ' Chicago Drainage & Ship canal upon ■lie Great Lakes and also in studying the pollution of the Great Lakes by sewage. LOSES FIRE LOSS SUIT Charles Abrams, Convicted as Incendi ary. Tails in Case i Brookville, Pfl.. Nov. 27. —After be ing out for several hours the jury re turned a verdict for the defendants in the case brought by Charles Abrams J ugaiust a number of insurance compa ! nies to recover for a loss in the big I fire at Summerville in September, 1912. The ease was on trial all week. 1 A large portion of the business sec j tion of the town was burned. Abrams was charged with setting fire to his store, convicted and sentenced to the Western penitentiary. He was recently I paroled. _ . , -. . jThaOrignd KHHRIHh ■lll ts a greater variety may be kept, as each plant may receive dif ferent treatment in the matter of light, watering, soil, etc., and palms, rubber plants, and cacti, which call for special handling, may be added. Begonias, ivy, smilax and aspidistra, all good plants for indoor culture, demand more or less the same treatment, as was explained in a previous article sent out by the United States Department of Agricul ture, describing the indoor window-box. Those who do not .have gardens would do better to get potting soil of the nearest florist for their potted plants. Good potting soil may be prepared at home but it usually takes considerable care and forethought. Those willing to take the trouble may prepare it by us ing one part compost, one part good loam and one part sand. The compost should be cow manure luid good turf rotted together for a year and turned two or three times in the interim. Well decomposed Joaf mould would answer ! as a partial substitute for tho compost. [ One-twentieth part bone meal is a good | addition to the mixture. If the loam \ is very heavy, containing much clay, j its proportion should be somewhat d'i | minished. If the loam is light and I sandy, reduce the amount of sand, or in | some localities omit it altogether. I Potted plants should be examined j occasionally to see whether or not the i plant requires repotting. This is done !by holding the hands over the top of the pot, inverting plant and all, tupping the edge of the pot so as to loosen it, then lifting the pot oft'. This cannot j be done unless tfoa soil is moderately i moist. If the ball of earth is com | pletelv covered with roots, the plant I should be put in a slightly larger pot with new potting soil "firmed'' about | the old ball of earth by "firming" with j the fingers. Then wet thoroughly. A housewife who desires a few pot ! ted plants but does not possess the reg | ulation flower pots, niijy prepare tin ! cans that will be quite satisfactory. A ; small hole should be made in the'bot ! torn of the can and a piece of broken j crockery or a few stones put in the bot | torn of the can before the earth is added, in order to give the proper j drainage. The stones of crockery j should be also used in the regular flow er pot. Hanging baskets may be used ad j vantageously to make an indoor winter j garden attractive. They should be j hung near a light window. If geraniums are potted so that the l root growth is restricted, ami if they are kept fairly dry, they may be forced I to bloom during the winter. Geraniums : are attractive in the ordinary window ! box because of their foliage alone. 1 They should not be placed in a window j box with the expectation that they will ; bear flowers. Ferns as they come from the florists j prepnred for indoor culture should be i placed in a strong light, though they | grow well without sunlight. They should be watered sparingly but should be kept at all times. Improper ; watering, .especially keeping the plant soaked or permitting it to get dry, is the foundation of most fern difficulties. It is especially difficult not to overwater when the fern is in a jardiniere, there drainage is necessarily poor. In spring and summer they will require three times the water necessary in fall and t winter. It is well occasionally to put them in the bath tub and give them a bath with weak soap suds made from a good grade of soap. The soap must be thor otjghly rinsed off immediately. Great care must be exercised not to injure , the fronds as they arc very tender. : Mealy bug is one of the worst enemies in house culture. This is a white wooly , insect that works close to the bottom lof the fronds. If found, the plant should be examined every day and all insects removed by a splint or tooth pick. If the pest is very bad, cut off all the top of the fern within an inch of the ground, treat thoroughly each i day till ail insects are exterminated j when a new top can be grown. Red spider is a minute sucking in ; sect that thrives in a dry atmosphere, i It can be kept in check by spraying ! the top with clear water. In living rooms this is frequently impracticable. The next best thing is repeated baths. The aphis or green fly is also eradicat | ed by washing. Ferns should bo fed once in two to four weeks in the place of ordinary wa tering with dilute nitrate of sodia, (a i heaping teaspoonful to a quart of wa ter) ammonia water (a teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart) or manure leach ings. Prepared plant food or a little sprinkling of ground bone and wood ashes also gives satisfaction. (No. 7 of this series entitled "Trop ical Plants for Indoor Winter Garden" i will follow shortly).

Hu Peculiar Formation Nov. 27.—Bunker Hill, south of the borough of Jonestown, is the highest point of the trap rock hi'lls and is of a very strange formation, with abundant and immistnkablo evi dence that it once was an active vol cano. Basalt, igneous rocks, jaepar, flint, milky and crystallized quartz, big and magnetic iron of 90 per cent, copper, marble, coal and other varieties of minerals are found. The formation is a regular conglomeration, besidos iu the volcanic-like there arc mineral springs containing medical properties. A singular cavern is also found in the hill, but of late years was partly de molished by taking stone from the hill lor building and other purposes. it is well know u by tradition through tho successive generations from the early settlers iu the beginning ot' the eight eenth century, as told by the Indians, who declared once to substantiate their claim, produced large quantities of valuable ores to make purchases from the white people. The prospecting was abandoned for the time, with the hope that some time the discovery would be by acci dent, and it now appears to be the case that an abundance of copper ore of high percentage lias been discover ed about a mile southeast of Jones town, on the farm of David Brandt, which place is a continuation of tho Bunker Kill range of hills.
