Also, to determine the truo measure of Its amount, tho slzo of the claim, the capacity of the ditch, or tho area irri gated. 7 Tho volume of return or seepage water, nnd Its availability for being again diverted, and Intluenco on value of Irrigator's rights. 8 Size, number, location nnd capac ity of dltchos nnd other distributing works established, aud Irrigation duty of water. Tho work also Includes collection of data showing how water Is divided among different ditches from tho same stream; how It Is distributed among users; the nature of water-right con tracts between canal owners nnd water users; what contracts have proven satisfactory; and what forms of con tracts have given rise to controversy, and the reason therefor.

Late Secretary of Btato Kcitnnled oa Orcuteat Diplomat of tho Duy. Hy tho death of John Hny tho llfo of tho leading diplomat of tho day has ended. Not only had he established himself lu such exalted position, but he had formulated, developed and completed what has pf lato been known as American diplomacy, tho direct method of pursuing negotiations regarding matters In coutrovorsy be tween nations. So successful had be come this method that ho bad cm ployed It not only In controversies ho tween this country aud others, but in matters between other countries when questions aroso which only Indirectly affected tho interests of tho United States. In short, John Hay has made tho United States a factor In tho poli tics of tho world to bo reckoned with on orory occasion In which, hy Its In terests, tho United States can bo re garded ns a participant. John liny was regarded as not only tho lending diplomat of tho day, but tho greatest diplomat that over occupied tho ofllco of secretary of state. John Hny was born In Salem, Ind., Oct. 8, 1KW. Ho was tho son of Dr. Charles Hay. Ho was educated at Warsaw nnd Springfield, III. He was graduated nt Ilrown University in 18.18. In 18(11 hn went from Springfield. III., to Washington to !ccomo Presi dent Lincoln's secretary nnd later ho served In tho civil wnr. Ho reached tho rank of colonel nnd was nt Lin coin's bedside when tho President died. He then went to Europe and filled sub ordinate diplomatic positions nt vari ous capitals. In 1800 he was appoint ed ambnssador to England. In the seventies, when Mr. nay was acting editor of tho New York Tribune, he wrote fanciful verse of the soil, which became moro celebrated than his more serious literary efforts ona of which Is a llf of Lincoln, for which JOHX HAT. he recolved 150,000. Mr. Hay's houso In Washington was one of tho most beautiful residences In tho drx, nnd his library was filled with rare pic tures nnd rarer books. As a literary man John nay would hare won fa mo sufficient for tho most ambitious. II U life of Lincoln is nn able work nnd his poetry was of a high order. Rut as secretary of state under McKlnlcy and then under Roose velt, Mr. Hay brought tho diplomacy of the United States Into tho first rank. His ability wns splendidly shown during tho Roxer troubles In China. Hay alone kept China out of the Ilusso-Japancso war. Limiting tho zone of conflict was one of his great est diplomatic victories. I TROTTING OR GALLOPING? What Io FUh Do, and Reals, and In rcta unil WormaT Hero is a problem for pcoplo with sharp cytsl Aa wo all know, a horse when walking or trotting advances only ono leg of each pair at a time, but when galloping lifts both foro feet together and then both hind feet. Now tho question la how other animals manngo this mat tor. Thu birds, of courso, flap both wings together, but which birds run nnd which hop? We human beings "trot" when we walk, nnd "gnllop'' when wo Bwlm that Is, if wo Aro using tho plain breast stroke; Tho dog, however, "trots" for both. Now, do the amphibious animals tho seals, otters and tho rest swim llko men or llko other four-footed crea tures? Then there are the fish. Ono would, rather expect that, as they movo their tails from side to side, they would flop alternately with tho flns, which are their hands and feet. Who can tell whether they do or not, nud whether nil fish nt all times follow ono rule? Ry the way, how- docs a frog uso Its "liands"? The great anatomist, E. Ray Lnnkes ter, has lately pointed out that whllo tin "thousand legs," such as our com mon gaily worm, advance two feet of n pair together, the centlpeds, which ere much llko them, do exactly tho op posite; nud the swimming worms also nltcrnato the stroko of each pair of paddles. I doubt If many pcoplo can tell on which system the caterpillar mannges Us dozen or so legs, or wheth er the adult Insect walks, trots, paces, or gallops on Its six. How does tho spider use bight? Altogether this Is n largo field for observation, a field, too where any one may discover new facts ns yet un recorded, and thus ndd to tho store of knowledge. SL Nicholas. (ihnklnir.
