To rout the typhoid scourge from
the Willamette Valley for nil time,
the Oregon Kllile Hoard of Health
will ask the legislature at its com
ing session to authorize preliminary
work on a project to pipe pure moun
tain water from Clear Lake, a limpid
natural reservoir In the Cascades
about 75 miles to the east nnd north
of Eugene, to 13 valley cities and
towns between Kugene and Salem.
Every engineering and economic
aspect of this project baB been ex
haustively covered In a report sub
mitted to the health board at Its an
nual meeting in Salem Saturday, by
its engineer, Louis C. Kelsey.
If the whole available supply of
the lake were needed, it could fur
nish all the water that 1 , lion, 000 per
sons would need.
The 1.1 valley municipalities which
the proposed lino would touch are

While doubt has been expressed as
to the possibility legally, at the pres

the (invernor has suggested that legal

Military Tactic That Won Whp
Strength Wat Lacking.
After the decline of Home the center
of the world's military progress was
fur seven or eilit centuries transferred
to the Creek empire. Constantinople
ruled elements of n much less lioino
genemus nature than Home In her
prime had deluded umui. There was
less loyalty to the central rule there
and fur less liberty under It. .
The decisive military fact of the east
was, however, that Ilyzantlum had to
contend against overwhelming n u inert
cal superiority in its enemies. South
of it, from the Indies to the Atlantic,
was the Saracen empire, burning with
the zeal of n new religion. To the east
were the Seljuk Turks, while to tho
north were the Bulgarians nnd the
Slavonian and Hunlc tribes.
Against such odds It was useless sim
ply to match man for man. The mili
tary loaders of the empire were full
jf military spirit nnd took keen delight
in war ns a game, but they were tho
descendants of Ulysses, and they made
of war a game of tin esse, of cleverness
in short, a war of wits. By their spy
ing and bribes, by stirring up treason
lu the enemy's camp, by surprises, sim
ulated retreats and ambush, they Il
lustrated the saying of Bacon that
Btratagen Is n weaker kind of policy

enough to win by fnirer methods. Ed

THE GAME OF GOLF.
It Is a Very Serious Matter With the
Real Scot Enthusiast.
In I'Mfe anil the Lotlilnns every one
plays golf men of leisure, working
men and loafers, the laat class produc
ing the finest pluyers. Many of the
Scotch towns luive public courses, and
oven where they are private the arti
san clubs may use them on generous
terms. Says Stewart Dick lu "The
Pageant of the Forth:"
"There Is something very Scotch
about the Scotch golfer. lie seems to
suit the leisurely and contemplative
game. 'Keep your eye on tho ball,'
'Slow back' end 'Aye bo up' are writ
ten nil over him. Ah a nation one
would say Hie Scotch were profession
al, the Kntrllsh amateur, golfers, for
there should be nothing dilettante
about the game of golf.
"How serious a matter it Ih may he
JudgiHl from the old story of the Scotch
minister. Kmerglng nfter a hot and
unhnllowed strife In the bunker, his
profane words still echoing In his ears,
he'mops his heated brow and exclaims
bitterly:
"'Ah maun gle it up! Ah maun gie
It up!'
"'What?' cries his partner In eon
sternntlon. 'tile up gowt'C
" 'No,' be replies, with sublime scorn;

"This Is the real old gulfing spirit
which still survives round the shores
of tho Forth."
The Peacock at Home.
The real home of peaeiM'ks or pea
fowls Is in India. There they were
nnd are hunted, nnd their llesh Is used
for food. As the birds live in the
snme region as the tiger, peacock hunt
lug Is a very dangerous sport The
long train of tho peacock Is not Its
tall, as mnny suppose, but Is compos
ed of feathers which grow out Just
above the tall nnd are called tho tall
coverts. Peacocks have been known
for mnny hundred years. They are
mentioned In the Hlble. Job mentions
them, nnd they arc mentioned, loo, lu
I Kings x. Hundreds of years ago In
Rome mnny thousand peacocks were
killed for tho great feasts which tin
emperors made. The bruins of the
pencock wero considered a grent treat,
and many hail to bo killed for n single

The Mystery of Sleep.
It Is Impossible to give any precise
explanation of tho phenomenon of
sleep. Yet many theories have been
advanced. Lcgeudre has shown by
fairly conclusive arguments that It is
due neither to "brain pallor," nor to
Intoxication by carbonic acid, nor to
the presence of nnrcotle substances In
the blood, theories that hnve been In
turn advanced. I.egendro , Intlinntes
