Vast Engineering Works in tho Great
American Desert Region.
Very few people realize what vast en-
gineering and construction problems
are being solved out west in what
few years ago was termed the Great
American Desert region. That same
desert region is Of remarkable fertility
when water is supplied by irrigation
plants The Sweetwatcr dam, in South
ern California, Is the pride of its build
ers and is worth many millions to the
lands 1t renders fertile. In Arizona an
immense canal is being built, which
will utilize part of the surplus waters
Of Colorado and irrigate 100000 acres
of land. In New Mexico, in Eddy
county, is the second largest irrigation
plant In the United States. To secure
an abundance of water at all times,
two immense reservoirs were construct
ed capable of storing 5000 900, 900 cubic
feet Of water.
Some idea of the size of these arti-
fetal lakes may be had when it is men
toned that one of them is thirteen
miles long by four miles wide. The
water from these reservoirs is conduct
ed through some 1900 miles of canals
and bitches and irrigatcs or will irri-
gate 25o,O0o acres of land, mostly fruit
and garden land Imagine a water
works plant with q reservoir 10000 feet
square and having 1900 miles of mains
1t took three years to build this plant
Yet others as great or greater are pro
jected and will be constructed. The
future effect Of all this vast labor and
skill is not easy to predict In many
places they have surely made the desert
bloom and turned poverty into wealth.

THE WONDERFUL SUN.
Actual Work Performed by Old Sol in the
Absorption Of Water.

Actual Work Performed by Old Sol In the
Absorption of Water.
At recent meeting of the Engineers
club of this city Joseph T. Richards
made some interesting remarks on the
actual work of lifting performed by
the suns rays In the absorption Of wa
ter from through the atmosphere, He
said: "For many years past have
been much interested in matters relat-
ing to the composition of the atmos-
phcre and the work done by the sun in
raising the moisture afterwards precip-
itated as rain. Prof. Loomis claims
that the average height of clouds is
two miles. Although this is probably
correct, I think there is no doubt on
the other hand that many clouds from
which we see rain falling are with
In half q mile of the surface of the
earth To make a moderate calculation
let us assume as minimum distance
5000 feet If you figure it out you will
find that q rain fall of one inch in
an hour would amount TO IL, 600 tons of
water deposited on each square mile
to elevate which 1900 feet would mean
an amount of work equal to 22o, 900
horsepower. To raise this water in an
hour by pumping engines giving a duty
of 100, 100000 foot-pounds would require
the consumption of 200 gross tons of
coal think this will help us to ap-
preciate the immense amount of work
being done by the sun IN storing up
our natural water supply. If the aver
age elevation of Philadelphia is "a feet,
then we have 4,517 horsepower de-
veloped for each square mile for arain-
fall run-off in an hour. When these
quantities are considered the wonder is
that when we have such as that which
caused the Johnstown flood the dam
age is not much greater than it was on
that occasion.-Philadelp Record

of Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock will in

an architect friend of Mr.. Elwell, is

4, 1880, as charter member of Monon-

grand council of Pennsylvania as val
uable and influential member, and was
soon made grand regent, the highest
office in the gift of the state grand
council. This was in 1888, and in 1885 he
was reelected to the office unanimously.
In 1892 Mr.. Hazard was elected su.
preme vice regent, and at the cxpira-
ton Of his term of office in that capac-

HANCOCK STATUE FOR GETTYSBURG.

the subject on the right and that Of the
sculptor and date on the left. The
statue will be one of the largest eques-
trian works in the country. The figure
of Hancock standing would measure 13
feet inches.
Mr.. Elwell's statue is picturesque,
dignifled and forceful, and is said to
present an excellent likeness of Gen.
Hancock as he appeared at that time.
The pose Of the figure is easy and com
manding, and the modelling strong,
simple and broad, the textures being
notably well preserved and the fact be-
ing made essentially evident that the
man and horse and trappings are sepa-
rate objects. The general sits in his
saddle like fine horseman.
The face of Hancock is full of life,
and the hair, then worn rather long,
like the mustache and goatee, adds
much to the picturesquencss of the fig
ure. The horse, fine animal, Is full
of life, and its pose is capital, standing
still, with one foot paving the air. The
horse, which from the left of the
writer has somewhat of a classic char
actcr, has its head turned to the left in
eral, which Is directed to the right In
expression the head of the horse is re-
markably lifelil1e and alert.

An exchange says that the eloquent
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, who, by
the way, is a staunch Republican, is
likely to lose cast among the aherents
of the G. o. p on account of the for
cible manner in which he denounced
the Republican tariff humbug. In a
recent address he said: "It may be
well enough to rock the cradle for in
FAINT industry, but when it gets over
six feet tall and wears number nine
boots and threatens to get out of the
cradle and kick your head off if you
don't rock to suit it, it is about time
to move on and give the Mckinley
infant rest" This remark contains
