From the record of inundations which
have for ages been the scourge of Holland,
it would appear that during the last
thirteen centuries one Of the larger floods

lshed. In single night, in 1927, u vii

A recent London dispatch says that
Under Secretary fowler had sent letter
to his constituents at Wolverhampton
defending the purchase OF American
pumping engines, on the ground that the
American firm with which contracts had
been made had had experience in sup
plying the pumps wanted, and had
number ready for shipment. At the
first thought one might ask what pumps
were wanted for a great desert where
there is no water. 1t appears, however,
that the pumping apparatus Is needed to
supply pipe line across the desert IRON
Suakim to Berber. The distance is 260
miles. The desert is level, but impassa-
BILE because utterly destitute of water.
The proposition is to construct a pipe
| line for the conveyance of water after the
principle of oil pipe lines in this country,
| where much greater difficulties have beer
overcome than the Berber desert pre-
sents. Besides pumps, it Is expected
that the pipe will be obtained in THU
country from manufacturers who have
had experience in that line of business
The English propose to erect water-tant
every thirty miles along the route, to bs
supplied with water from Suakln
pumped through four-inch pipe. A rail
road will then be constructed, whlcl
will practically annihilatc the distanc
between the seaport of Suakln, on tn
Red Sea, and Berber. The distance iron
Cairo to Berber by the Nile route Is abou
; 200 miles.

According to reports from Carson, the
records Of fifteen days proceedings OF the
Legislature have been distracted from
the room in which the clerks, appointed
for the purpose, were preparing for the
State Printer. The Silver State says il
ia not surprising that members should
dislike to have the records Of their pro
ceediogs published, and the only unac'
countable thing about it is that they did
not take away the whole record. Posi-.
bly,, as the clerks were allowed very
liberal pay for copying the Journal, they
mag draw on their Imagination and make
up record that will show off the states
mar 10 better advantage than the true
record. At any rate, the solons have the
aati3fsction Of knowing that made-up
record cannot possibly be any worse than
the real one.
