HOLLAND IS SLOWLY SINKING
Dutch Are Planning to Make New
Land by Draining the Zuyder
Zee.
London.—M. Biaupot ten Cate, writ
ing in the Ingenieur, suggests that
Holland is slowly sinking. His the*
pry is based partly upon the sub
lidence of old Roman buildings.
. Such apparent subsidence is known
!n other countries, but in these cases
t is probable that instead of the
buildings sinking the surrounding or
superposed soil has risen. The old
Reman street tfca; ran through Lon
don is now eighteen feet below Cheap,
side. At Aosta in northwest Italy the
l__ '1 _-1
Holland Schoolgirls.
.toman pavement of the Via Praetoria
Is from eight to ten feel below the
j present level of the ground. The
Cathedral of Xotre Dame in Paris
•vas formerly approached by a fight
; if steps, which have now disap
pesred. With > regard to Holland M.
ten Cate says:
“A certain number of Roman edi
• ices, the entrance to which must
| necessarily have been from the level
; of the ground when they were built
in the first, second or third century
B. C., are now awash at high tide.
. -\n examination of the foundation
! shows that they have sunk from five
to thirteen feet.
‘In certain lew lying plains of Hoi
' and that have been drained for long
| years the level of the ground has
, fallen a little over a foot it. two
centuries.
"Finally, the formation of the Zuy
ier Zee and of the Gulf of Jade, in
northern Germany, leaves no room
for doubt as to the subsidence of the
soil in that part of Europe in fairly
recent times."
But in spite of this gradual sinking
t>f the soil of Holland the construc
tion of the great works for the drying
of the Zuyder Zee will not be allowed
to cease. The Zuyder Zee covers 760
square miles. It is estimated that the

CURE FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS
West Coast cf Africa May Get Rid ot
Disease Through Fowls Who Eat
Pupa of Fly.
London.—Letters received from the
west coast of Africa during the last
few days tell of a new- hope for the
ultimate conquest of sleeping sickness
It is known that one or two of the
tsetse flies carry the parasite (trypane
5ome) either from man to man or from
beast to man. The attempt to remove
the natives from the fly areas, and
thus to protect them from the disease
has not been altogether successful
Any effort to kill down the flies ap
pears hopeless.
Recent work, however, shows that
the guinea fowl finds the pupa of the
fly a tasty morsel. Land that has been
scratched over by fowls is completely
free from the pest. In a few weeks
full details of this new hope will be
published the world over. If the na
fives can be persuaded to keep fowls
it will not only be a source of profit tc
themselves, but also a protection
against the assaults of the fly. Fowls
do not harbor the disease, and al
though they have maladies of their
own they are not such as attack hu
jnan beings.
CEMETERY MADE IN A ROCK
Moat Remarkable Graveyard In the U.
S. la to Be Found a* Acoma,
New Mexico.
Acoma. X. M.—What is perhaps the
most remarkable graveyard in the
United States adjoins the old Spanish
church in the ancient pueblo of Acoma.
X. M.. and took over forty years to con
struct. The village is situated high
in the air upon a huge, flat-topped
rock many acres in extent and en
tirely bare of soil. In order to create
the graveyard it was necessary to
carry up the earth from the plain. 300
feet below, a blanketful at a time, on
the backs of Indians who had to climb
with their heavy loads up a precipitous
trail cut in the face of the cliff. The
graveyard thus laboriously constructed
la held in place on three sides by high
retaining walls of stone.—Wide World

"Red-Headed Woodpecker.”
Marion. Ind.—A jury in the Grant
circuit court held that If a man calls
a woman "a red-headed woodpecker"
she must not become provoked to the
extent of striking him with a broom
stick.
The decision was called for in the
case wherein Mrs. Estella Lang of
Gas City was charged with assault
and battery on Harvey Buzbee. ’Mrs.
Lang received a minimum fine of $1.
She testified that as Buzbee rode
past her on a bicycle he called her a
"red-headed woodpecker,” referring to
her auburn hair, whereupon she
struck him with a broom handle.

time and finally approached Deputy
Henry Smiley.
"Please, sir.” the lad said timidly,

around here?”
"Why, yes, sonny,” answered Smi

"Well, have you seen any without a
little boy?” the lad asked anxiously.
"Yes,” replied Smiley.
“Well,” said the little chap, as a
relieved look crossed his face. "I’m
the little boy. Where’s the lady?”—

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.
It Is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is a poison to at least one
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding It out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be
fore they discover the fact
A Xew York hotel man says: "Each
time after drinking coffee I became
restless, nervous and excited, so that I
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleeib which got
w orse and worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that I try Postum. 1 laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me. but she
insisted so hard that I finally bad
some Postum made. I have been us
ing it in place of coffee ever since, for
I noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation d:sappeared. I be
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use of stick
ing to a beverage that was injuring
me?
“One day on an excursion up the
country I remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained a
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that I had
already made the change.
"She said her brother had also re
ceived great benefits from leaving off
coffee and taking on Postum.” "There’s
a reason.”
