A MAP OF ARIZONA
All the Prehistoric Views From the Valleys

An the Prehistoric Views From the valleys
to Be Seen at the Fair.
New York Evening Post.I
In connection with the Arizona exhibit .
the Worlds Fair, work of unusual magni-
tude and interest has just been arranged for
in Phoenix by the construction of the larg-
est rel1et map ever made to show accurately
and in detail all prehistoric views Of the
valleys of the Salt and Gils rivers
The map will give a birds eye view of
nearly ], 600 square miles, which, it is esti-
mated, once supported an ancient popula-
tion of 1000, 900 to 3,0O0,0 900 souls, and
whose passing in to oblivion without leav-
ing tradition as to whence they came and
why they disappeared constitutes one ofthe
greatest mysteries of the human race. Prof
F. w. Putnam of Harvard College is direct
ing the work, and when completed, the map
whose population is estimated to have at
one time exceeded 100, 900 souls, old canals
and reservoirs with water flowing through
them as in the days Of their original con-
struction.
The great antiquity of the views to be
shown is demonstrated by the fact that in
many cases the canals are covered with lava
and volcanic ashes OF very remarkable
eruption, while the best engineering skill of
Europe and America has been unable to
find any defect in their construction. The
old canals in many instances cover thousands
of acres that tie present irrigators cannot
reach. s.'e-

After Their Husbands Death They Are
Subjected to Much Worriment.
Youths Companion.l
Among the many sad things connected
with the lives Of women in India, nothing
is more pitiable than the state of the poor
little widows A child-wife, only or
years old, is regarded by her husbands s
family as the cause, more or less direct. of
his death. She is treated at best with dis
like, and often with great harshness and
severity. Therefore the death of young
wife before her husband is the cause of
great rejoicing among her friends that she
has thus escaped widowhood
They are convinced that the gods have
favored her, and that she has been advanced
degree in the great series of births and
deaths through which every Hindu passes
on his way to final perfection. The prayer

Covers Fully 5000 Miles.
st. Louis Globe Democrat
Interior navigation has long held promi-
nent place in the traffic of France and it is
not surprising to learn. that the length of
navigable waterways in that country Is
5000 miles, of which $50 miles are returned
as tidal, 2,100 miles navlgable without
works, 250 canalized rivers and 5000 miles
canals
The State looks out for all but per cent
of this network, which is therefore practic-
ally free from tolls This system of inland
navigation has cost about $500, 900, 900 for
construction and purchase and $25, 600, 900
for concessions The annual cost of main
tenance is about 50, SOC, 900, or 1925 mile,
which covers all expenditures whatsoever.
The number of vessels employed on the
waterway is between $1,000 and 10000;
about 26 per cent have q capacity OF 300
tons or more, while more than half have
capacity exceeding 100 tons. Moreover,
about 1000 foreign boats use the French
canals each year.
The motive power is now almost furn.
ishea by draft animals, although a few
steam tugs are used on the Seine, the Disc
and some, other rivers and steam cargo boats
are occasionally met Cable towing and
tow locomotives are also used in a few
places. The average cost of moving ton
of freight one mile is stated to be .064c on
rivers and 25 per cent less on canals
