national Congress have both adjourned
without doing anything looking towards
the Inauguration Of anything In the way
Of lrrlgatlng northwestern Kansas. The
bill for the irrigation Of that region by
means Of wells and pumps, introduced
by Mr. Hicks, Of Norton county, would
have enabled the hOmesteader 10 do
something. Its merits, however, failed
Of recognition, and II did not become a
law The total lack Of interest In any at
tempted solution Of the problem Of iFrl-
cation, 90 far as the homesteader is con-
cerned, shows conclusIvely that the sub
ject is not understood. Viewed through
the distorted lens Of ignorance, II seems
10 be Of such magnitude as TO be entirely
beyond his means Of attainment.
Believing that very many farmers
would gladly do something in the way Of
irrigation II they knew what To do and DO
satisfied that II would lead to any def
mite results, and as we have nothing In
Kansas In the line Of experience In irri-
eating by means Of water elevated arti.
hcially to which to refer, herewith pre-
sent few facts In the way Of data on
this subject, based on irrigation in Egypt,
where this method OF irrigation has been
very extensively and successfully used.
Egypt has surveyed area OF 5,750,000
acres Of land, and in 1882 a stationary
population 0,302,93O inhabitants, equal TO
6O7 inhabitants per square mile, while
Belgium, the most densely populated
country In Europe, has but 82t to the
same area. The mean annual rainfall OF
Egypt being but one inch, II follows that
the sole dependence for agriculture must
be irrigation, and while agriculture has
fromumeimmemorlal been practiCed both
by means of inundation, caused by the
overflow Of the Nile, and irrigation by
water carried In canals and bitches. OF
late years this last method has been very
largely extended. In upper Egypt but
one-third OF the cultlvable land Is inun.
dated. This change in the mode Of
agriculture has not only added greatly to
the extent Of the territory cultivated, but
also TO its production. It will be seen
that In the flooding Of country whose
longitudinal inclination Is but six inches
to the mile that the question Of drainage
would be a very important and difficult
one.
While much Of the land not susceptible
Of being inundated can be irrigated by
water carried In canals and bitches, in
which case lbs application would be by
opening the inlets to the lateralS and
from them to the lands. There are many
regions Of large extent which by reason
Of their elevation will not allow OF this
being done, in which case the water re-
quires 10 be elevated by machinery Oper-
ated by power Of some kind.
Unlike Holland, whose existence de-
pends solely on drainage by pumping, no
wind power is used In Egypt; that used
is man, animal of some klnd-bullOck,
horses, camels or asses, and ateam en-
gines. For man power the pimplest ar
rangement is kind Of scoop or bucket
called "ndttal," operated by two men.
The range Of height for effective use is
three feet and the amount of water
raised by two men is between five and six

Of Che Republican party Of the state Of
Kansas seemed benttO crowd John Jamea
Ingalls upon the Republican national
convention ~ their chosen and honoFed
preference for Presidential nomination,
Az the state convention Of the party held
at Wichita In 1883, the welkln was made
10 ring In honor Of this man, whom no
one could tell OF what service he had
been 10 a long suffering and patient peo-
pie whom no had then, nominally, for
aiteen years represented in the United
States Senate.
The late Senator, whose eighteen yearB
Of Senatorial service has now closed, had
a son in that Wichita convention singing
peans Of praise to his illustrlous sire, in
substance, saying;
When the history OF Kanaas should DO fully
written the three grand names that would

Depew's connection with railroads and
corporations would be a heavy load, os-
peCially in the agricultural states. We
might as we'll nominate Gould or Wander

or Gresham would come nearer filling the
bill than any OF the others, with some fellow
like Phelps, Of New Jersey, who could reach

something from the manufacturers and

Mr.. Preston, in letter to DR.. Hertz, the

This was Kenezeki rms tolier OF the
sea, upon whom depended the happiness
of his life. They must come to an un-
derstanding somehow. A sea diver as a
father-in-law was not inadmissible.
The situation had grown unique.
He seized the pencil and took his turn
at the slate, awkwardly at first. but still
succinctly.
81 am Ferreol," responded he; live at
Paris; income, 10000 livres; love Angelo,
your daughter, and have the honor to
ask of you her hand in marriage!"
There was growl under the fathers
helmet, and he wrote on the slate anew:
marry her if you like. p
Consent cried Ferreel ardent1y, at
once ravished and uneasy at the reply.
Consent? Yes" penciled Kenezek;
good radiance too. But quick begone
-begone, say; I've work to finish!"
Ferreol delightedly sought to kneel BE-
fore the paternal scaphandrier, but his
inflated clothes held him erect. That
act of respectful homage was forbidden
him.
Meanwhile, seeing him hesitate, An
geles father repeated his order, but
Ferreol, not knowing what to do IN Or
der to mount, and not hurrying enough
to suit his temper, he pulled five times,
according to the rules, the cord Of recall,
and Ferreol shot aloft like a rocket
through company of scuttling dorades.
IF I'd been you" said the sailor, who
received him, and to whom he benevo-
lently proffered glass of rum, "I'd have
waited ten minutes. Kenezek quits
work, you know. every day at o'clock"
Ferreol looked at his watch. Ten
minutes to S.
No." said he, "a man like me never
waits minute"
And he promptly returned to Paris
ITO marry the charming Angele?"
No. Fifty odd hours late in return
ing, the charming but impatient An
gele had married the other fellow.
And Ferreol was not surprised at that.
