THE Maybrick case was the sensation of
England last week 1t secmS~to be the
general opinion that Mrs. Maybriek is a
very bad woman, but as her husband was
an arsenic eater it is not believed that she
poisoned him. Had she not gone on the
witness stand herself, she would probably
have been acquitted.

PEOPLE have been wondering what has
been causing the unusual rain fall this
summer. Some of the Democratic press
have laid the blame on the new admins
tration. Meteorologists have told Us of
high barometcrS and low barOmeterS. As
tronomers. have pointed to the freckled face
of the sun as possible cause. Now, how
ever, they have a new story which may ac-
count for or be an accompanying phenom-
enon. \ day or two ago one of our East
ern star gazcrs discovered a new comet
sweeping this way, and the news was her
aided abroad. The great Lick telescope
was speedily pointed in that direction, and
now comes the story that not one comet
but whole flock of them, seven in num-
ber, were seen. If they are guilty of ere
ating the exceeding dampness they may
do even worse beforo they leave us. The
only apparent consolation is the fact that
there is luck in odd numbers and there are
only seven instead of thirteen.

OF the most important committee,
appointed by the Senate to mako in.
vestigations during the summer il
the Committee on Irrigation. Tha,
committee, in connection with the
Geological Survey, is now preparing
to enter actively upon Its work, and
it will start from St. Paul, its head.
quarters, in July.
There is no object of greater i'm.
portance to the American people,
now that the lands available for agri.
culture are being rapidly taken up,
than to solve the problem whether or
not the immense arid tract IN the
western territories can be made
available for the purposes of cultiva-
ton.
The scientists of the geological
survey are a very efficient aid in this
inquiry, and the information which
they furnish will illustrate in a gen.
ersl way the purposes at which the
committee aims. The purpose Of
this inquiry Is no less than to ascer.
talns whether 1t will be practical to
remain an area equal to 10000
square miles or about 100000, 900
acres, which is half of the entire cui.
tivated land in the United States at
present and worth in money many
millions of dollars.
Eminent scientists are of the opin.
ion that this can be done, and it Is
the chief purpose of this COMMITTEES
to ascertain and report whether or
not such scheme Is practicable.
MAJOR PowELL's PLAN.
The project is based upon the idea
which was first given to the public
some 10 years ago by Major Powell,
the present director of the geological
survey, in his report upon the ARID
lands west of the Tooth meridian.
That report is still the classic upon
this subject.
Major Powell has been continuing
his investigation since that time and
has induced Congress to adopt his
theory, namely, that it is possible to
reclaim a very large proportion OF
this arid region and to make it avail
able for agricultural purposes. But
it Is not to be understood that it ID

or Senate Commisson. or of the Gov
srnmeut, to do the actual work of IT.
rigation itself and to improve thi'
land in order that private persons
may have the benefit of the eIpendi
lures which the Government. woald
make IN that direction. Nothing oi
the sort 10 contemplated.
The theory of the entire work II
that the actual irrigation of the land
is the proper province either OF Pri
ate capital or OF the states or terri
tories, and that the only function
that the Government can properl,
perform in this connection Is to de
termins whether or not the theories
which have been laid down as to th'
possibilities Of reclaimipg this lant
are practicable.

they, Major Powell and those who
have become interested with him

The western states and territories
within whose Jurisdiction the ARID
belt is located, are convinced thai
this work is practicable. The bes'
proof of this is that the state of No
