Attention has lately been directed
to the wasteful methods of Irrigation
in use in our southwest. Measure*
ments have shown that only 42 per
cent, of the water in the canals
reaches the fields, the rest being loBt
in transit through seepage.
Coal la Fraaec.
It is only within the last 60 years
that coal has been mined on a large
scale in France. In 1760 the output
was only 100,000 tons. In 1643 it was
barely 4,000,000 tons. Last year it
was 32,000,000.

In Berlin restaurants oysters cost
from 50 to 75 cents per dozen. They
are small and of inferior quality.
Cooked oysters are never seen on
German tables.
