The area of practical agricultural LANDS
in this country is immensely extended by
practical irrigation. In all the Terri
tories west of 10oth degree of longitude
this method has added millions to the
value of the producing soils and wonder
fully extended their capacity. In Ari-
zona, especially, irrigation is aiding the
rapid development of the Territory and
demonstrating its productiveness' The
practice is to food small grain from
two to four times during the season.
Fruit and grass need less water. The
Arizona canal is over forty miles long,
and irrigates nearly 100000 acres OF
land. Other canals are now in progress
on the Lower Gila which will irrigate
over 100000 acres. In New Mexico,
along the Rio Grandc, large canal was
recently completed which is expected to
bring more than 2Oo,O acres into cul-
tivation. While these great water sup
plies are of frst-rate consequence to the
development of the rainless districts
they are nevertheless the origins of gl'
gantic land monopolies.

Lieutenant Greely, to whom Arctic
adventure ought, one would suppose, to
be nightmare, is confident that new
Arctic expeditions vii soon be under
taken. Lieutenant Hovgaard is plan
ming one which is to take Cape Chclyus-
kin, in Siberia, for its base, and Franz
Josef Land for its objective point. How
near Franz Josef Land extends toward
the coast of Asia, We are without knowl-
edge. Hovgaard's plan is o joint land
and water expedition, the men to travel
on sleds over islands and ice, and in their
ships when clear water offers. Two
English expeditions are projected, one
of which proposes to reach Franz Josef
Land directly from Scotch port, fol-
lowing the course which has been sailed
by Leigh Smith; the other passing west
of spitzbergen, and establishing its base
at the Seven Islands. Nordeuskjold is
going to East Greenland with an expedi-
ton, which, if fair weather should prove
tempting, may strike across for Franz
Josef Land. passing north Of Spitzber-
gen. 1t will be noticed that all the Arc
tic explorers-English, American, Dan
ish, Swedish and Austrian-agree that if
the Pole is ever reached, it must be by
way of Franz Josef Land. The Russian
government alone is pushing a party
largely a sledge party-by way of the
Yana River to the new Siberian Islands,
which are nine hundred geographical
miles from the Pole. And this country
has sledge party in Alaska, which will
push forward to the southern shore of
the Arctic Ocean, and will establish a
base for future operations somewhere
near Point Barrow. Arctic expeditions
are kept up, not SO much by their yield
of scientific knowledge, but by the spirit
of adventure which animatcs our race.
Young men volunteer because it is d
plucky thing to do, and they want fame.
So far as practical results arc concerned,
they have added little to our stock of
knowledge. But they have tended to
keep alive an instinct of adventure, and
readiness to endure suffering and to
confront the grave, which are the best
traits in human nature. The courage
which leads young man to sail into the
Jaws of almost certain death in the ever
lasting ice masses of the North Pole,
merely to solve o geographical problem,
is the quality which makes great soldiers
and patriots, and furnishes q country
with leaders against times which try
mems souls.

A recent investigator has made analy

A recent investigator has madc anafy-
ses of popular brands of paper cigarettes
and has been rewarded with some start
ling discoveries. In the manufacture OF
one of the best known brands he finds
that valerian and tincture of opium are
used in large quantities to. give the cigar
cites their delicate flavor and well-known
soothing property. Another navoring
material is made from the tonka bean,
which gives the so-called "Havana fa-
vor" to cigarette. 1t is known that this
bean contains deadly poison called mel
lolotis, seven grains of which have been
found sufficient to kill dog. Other
drugs and substances equally deleterious
to the health are used in doctoring, COL
oring and favoring the tobacco from
which cigarettes are manufactured, and
the symptoms of cigarette poisoning can
be discovered in any one who has used
them to excess for a long time. The
only remedy is to give them up entirely
or 'taper off, as most cigarette smokers
are obliged to do, at frequent intervals.
So overpowering, however, is the force
of the habit that when its victim once
gives himself any license at all, the num-
Der that he will smoke every day is only
limited by the number of opportunities
