W. H. IJYAItS -(JLAKE B. IKVIXi: Editor Jlnnnzcr. SUIITJ2KKANKAN IKItlCJATlON. Speaking of irrigation the subter ranean method introduced into the United States by a New York man will yet make portions of Eastern Oregon and other mountain regions now regarded as hopeless the most fertile of all tho country. By this method one ucre in made to produce as much us tea or more of the best .in countries favored by nuture with rcjgular precipitation. It is the old method that 1ms been used for ages in the vales of Southern Thibet and other dry parts of Central Asia, Ditches are imulu across declivities t, and, partly lined with rocks or other Insoluble material. Theso ditches catch in time the waters of any melting snows or accidental showers. Few legions but havo some rain or snowfall at some time. All this is caught and conserved In these ditched and tho consequence is that 1 the grounds below the ditch gradu ally receive tho waters and are kept moist. Of course where no mois ture fulls at all this method Is not applicable. JJnt there urc many countries where more water falls in ouo or two months than is really needed during tho whole year and tills preserves and properly dis- tnuutcs u. wnerover tuero are snow or .ruin showers theso ditches get full and the method Is practica ble, and the results are surprising. AIK SHU'S. Patrick .Campbell of New York, a Scotsman, has made a machine somewhat Jlku a bird with which he successfully Hew two miles around Coney Island, lately. The academy of sciences there pronounce It asue-ce.-w the uud beginning of what will result in greut things. It has been wild oy some thinking men Unit if hull' tho mouey used In experiment ing on, steam, vessels had been em ployed ou aeronautics, travel through the air would now be an ac complished fad. Unfortunately tho origin of aerial navigation wits made by using bid loon-shaped vessels which never con bo mado practica ble owing to tho .surface they oxjwso to the winds. The sauiu blunder was persisted in by stcam-shlp nav igator. The grand need for air travel has been a material light and strong enough to lJuat and bear tho enoriuotiH pressure required. ThUt has bct'ii found. TJjjuo and persist ence may accomplish all that the most sangitluo hopo hi this direc tion. "Nothing Is Impassible to him who uuUeitiSBo.1' VlUllSTAnLK UUOWT1I. A Boston paper expresses nurprisu that 11 certidu Illy should be Hour ished by water, no earth being re quired around dt. The. fact is, not tho huudrcth part of one percent of any vegetable growth come from the earth, hut all comes from tho air. l'lant a tree In a cemented cistern. Kill tho cistern with earth and weigh every pound of tho earth. Lot tho tree, grow and produce .fruit for years. Then haying weighed the fruit .and all tho leaves thut have fallen, take out tho treo and weigh It, Thou weigh the earth hi tho cistern and you sIiaII find that not one ounce has been taken from It. Yet tho tree, leaves and fruit will hayo weighed thousands of pound. This experiment has been mado ofton. The roqlu of the treo have taken n few chemical proper ties nnd In consuming them have established a kind ol vegetable mag netics current which, playing along the trunk, lias started tho buds whoso loaves absorb from the Atmosphere and established the jirlnolple of growth. kot. TIIK FOT.I.Y OF FOOT.9. There was a great sensation among UiefushIonablo guests of thol'lanters Hotel St. Louis a few days ago caus ed by the appearance among them of a very distinguished looking gen tleman, wlic-o rich elaborate toilet and splendid maimers caused him to be reckoned us a foreign duke or lord at least. "How very distingue." "How perfectly comme il faute,"etc, etc,, were tho mutterings heard. "Who'cati it bo ?" "How can we get an Introduction?" When suddeiily the actress, Mary Anderson appeared on the scene, Then to the horror and astonish ment of tho simpleton dudes and dtulesses it was discovered that the distinguished looking individual was her private and special waiter. Of course the fashionable actress must exceed in folly all the fools, in order to continue as a drawer of crowds. What she lacks in ability she must make up In dress and style. LUTIIANA&IA THO HONO I'UIILICO. The silly idea of prolonlng life when the body is afflicted with a loathsome disease incurable, is giving way to common sense views and tho time is nbt far oil when lepers, instead of contaminating thousands, will b'e put to death in the most comfortable way possible. In fact'thut disease which is slowly extending and eating Its way into tho human race by contagion, could long ago have been extirpated l)ad common sense regulated the matter. Society kills thoso who have slain even one person. Why not merci fully relievo of his awful burden a creaturo who will cause the death of many, in the most horrible way, however innocently on his part. Tho first thing wo know this plague, leprosy, will bo getting as common as opium smoking. M 1C ANrNcTo F WAIl. "Pis well that some of tho editors of our furious blood-thirsty sheet are not rulers ot states. It mey were we should have war upon war. Just now they are panting for a light with Germany about Samoa. One week of war with Germany would cdsl more than all the islands in that whole group are worth. Threo months would cost us hun dreds of millions and would place us where our national debt could never be wiped out. That would mean tho continuance forever upon us of the, present British system of raising revenues. It means Imperialism un der the form of republicanism. But that is just what a large number of tho pcoplo of this Union want.
