GrSrnAn JouN B. BowmAN says in the

GENERAL JOIN +. BOWMAN says IN the
Kansas City Times: . 1t is my opinion
That irrigation will be the means Of
doubling the population Of every State
and Territory within the coming ten
wears. l further believe that IN the
East. where the rainfall is heavy, but
uncertain, irrigation will ultimately be
resorted to in oder to insure greater
regularity Of crops. Four-tenths Of the
area Of the United States, not including
Alaska, require irrigation. This terri
tory includes parts of California, Texas,
Kansas, Nebra ka, Nevada, Oregon, all
of Arizona, New -dexico, Utah, Wyom-
ing, Montana, and portions OF Dakota
and Washington. Through this vast
territory there flow a number Of streams
with narrow valleys capable of cultiva-
ton. In these valleys settlers have
taken up their abode, cities have been
built, and now the cry is for more room.
The room is there, and tile only thing
needed TO make the broad sunburned
plains vie with valleys is irrigation.
The sentiment in favor of this method
of retaining lands is growing strong,
and predict that ten years will witness
a revolution"

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

TIE world is likely to be gataer from
the death OF Charles III, Prince OF Mo
naeo. If the news contained IN a Berlin
dispatch is correct. This is to the effect
that the Princes successor. Albert
Honore Charles, is opposed to gambling
n his municipality, and that he will do
all in his power to suppress 1t. II this
information is correct the days OF Monte
Carlo are numbered, and the most
wealthy and powerful corporation OF
gamblers on the ia e of the globe VIII
be forced to give up business or remove
10 n new stand. Prince Albert, If he
really breaks up the palatial Casino at
Monte Carlo, will be entitled to the
credit of a rare sacrifice of personal
interest. For the Casino at Monte Carlo
is, in a very material sense, his prlncl-
pality. 1t is from the renting OF tins
that the revenue of Monoca has been
derived for the last twenty years, and
during all that period the sub. ects OF
the Prince have been exempted from
taxation. To abolish gamb ing In the
Casino now means to impose taxes again
upon a people who have learned to en-
iov n government without paying Tor IL,
and it requires brave man to take sucn
a radical step as this in the treatment oil
his subjects.

How to Rescue the Drowning.

A noted swimmer, in answer to the
question: What is the best course to
pursue in aiding people who are drown
ing" says Take them by the back
hair and hold them at arms length.
I've noticed one thing about drowning
people. When they are sinking the
first time if they see you and they rise
again they know where to grapple with
you, and the result is you both go down
together, with strong probability that
you will be drowned. 1t is my advice
that if you go to rescue a drowning per-
son you should swim around him and
keep behind him, so he won see you
when he comes up the second time.
Another thing, when gong to a persons
rescue try to gain his confidence. 1t is
IA fact that one finger placed under
swimmers body will keep him ahoat if
you can only get him to believe it.

ton, Pa, has a peculiar habit. For
many years lie smoked cigars until his
physician told him he must stop smok-
ing or die. Thereupon Tripp hired q
negro to smoke all day near him and
blow the smoke into his face. The
negro did this for years until he died,
and his place was taken by white man.
Mr. Trip is in perfect health. His
smoker uses about twelve fine cigars
day. Trip seems to derive great en-
joyment from this second hand method
of INDUCING in tobacco.

All this had taken but = few seconds,
but Mabe. Feather tone was already
fifty yards away. The girl knew some
thing of swimming and had had the
presence of mind to throw herself on her
! back. 1t took two or three minutes
hard swimming, for the life-buoy greatly
impeded his action, before Captain
| Seymour was alongside her. She gave
sharp cry as he touched her, Tor
though he had shouted she had not
heard him, and her thoughts were on
the monster astern.
GAN right, Mss Featherstone catch
hold of this life buoy we shall soon
have help from the steamer.
The ship seemed a long distance
away, but he could see by the spray
thrown high from the screw that her en-
gines were reversed, and boat was al
ready being lowered. Then he looked
the other way, and for moment his
heart seemed to stand still, for net fifty
yards away he saw the black fin OF the
shark he had expected it, for me knew
that the shark was swimming at the
same rate of speed as the steamer had
been going, and that it must very soon

"Spash with your hands and feet,
he said eve shall manage to keep him
off till the boat comes up"
But Mabel was too terrified to do any
thing She chung to the life-buoy, with
her eyes fixed in wild horror upon the
shark Keeping one hand upon the
buoy, Captain Seymour, with his other
arm and his feet, splashed the water /;
and the shark, which approached rapidly /
until within distance of twenty yards, |
paused and began TO swim round and |
round them. Mabel now somewhat re-
covered her consciousness and began al
so to splash the water.
"That's right" Captain Seymour
said cheeringly. "You see we are
him.
This lasted couple of minutes, which
seemed an age to them.
"The boats half way from the ship"
Captain Seymour said. "Another eou-
pie of minutes and it will be here.
Keep it up, Miss Featherstone, till the
last moment; but if you see the shark

throw yourself on your back. will
meet HIM.
"No, no." she gasped, "you shall
not throw away your life. "
II am not going to throw it away.
If he makes rush shall shove this life
buoy into his jaws. That will puzzle
him.
The shark had now ceased swimming
round, and lay with his head towards
hem at distance of some fifteen yards.
The tremendous splashing evidently
,roubled aud alarmed him. The boat

was now coming rapidly up, and the
first officer, standing up in the stern,
! shouted words of encouragement. The
shark doubtless heard the sound of the
approaching oars, and, fearing that he
was about to be baked Of his prey,
moved slowly towards them.
Leave go, leave CO. CAPITA n Sey-
mour exclaimed, but as the girl sill
held on he ierked the life buoy from her
hand, and exclaiming, " Throw yourse +
on your back, swan a couple of strokes
forward to meet the shark. Its hesita-
ton was now over with sweep of its
tail it darted forward, throwing itself on
its back as it approached within four or
five yards # the swimmer. The great
mouth with its treble row of teeth open

mour thrust the life buoy into it.
Large as the mouth was, for the shark
was one of the largest of its kind, it was
not so wide as the width of the buoy.

obstacle prevented the jaws from meet

shark came to the surface some little
distance astern. 1t was shaking its head
violently, and lashing the water with its
tail. The life buoy had been pushed

and the sharp teeth had imbedded
themselves deeply in the cork 1t was
trying in vain to get rid of this strange
object that it had encountered.
Thank God it's fixed there Z" Cap
tain Seymour exclaimed 81 think we
are safe now"
A minute later the boat dashed up
alongside with ringing cheer from the
men.
Miss Featherstone, who was insensi-
BILE now, was lifted on board. Captain
Seymour was then hauled in. The
shark was still going through the most
awful contortions, lashing the water in
to a foam, shaking its head like dog,
turning over and over, and evidently in
a paroxysm of rage and alarm.

the first officer said. "What on earth

throat l suppose he can't get rid of it. -

claimed suddenly, glancing at Captain

HUI London Observers Do Not Credit That
Naval Engagement Rumor.
LONDON, March 9.-Tbe fact that The
Schlesische Zeitung is rec ognized vehicle OF
inspired publications lends great interest to
the report in its columns O. a naval fight in
Samoan waters between the German shin
Olga and an American mai ofwar, but even
this voucher is not sufficient to warrant be-
lief here that the American ship with ell on
board was blown up. 1t Is possible that there
may have been an exchange of shots, but that
there was a battle In which either ship was
injured is very much doubted. 1t Is suggested
that the item was printed merely as feeler,
in view Of future possibilities, and the sug.
gestion finds more adherents than does the
report Of actual hostilities.
As still further evidence that the report is
not true The Cologne Gaze tie, which is gen.
orally better informed thar any of its Ger
man contemporaries, prints a carefully pre-
pared and undoubtedly offic al review of the
Samoan situation which 1t concludes by say.

This, perhaps, is entitled to no more con-

also an inspired organ the two publications
are taken to indicate that Germany expects q
row in Samoa and is awaiting information
OF the result OF its instructio ms to that end.
