swain in question was most anxious to
be restored to the good graces of his

with frigid reception. For several

convinced that there was no balm in

Would she please return it? The
scheme worked like charm. The

Philadelphia dentist. ''The animal was
in great agony, and when proceeded
to examine his mouth he appeared to
realize that it was my purpose to re-

in one of the back teeth, which was
also badly liberated at the root. I
temporarily relieved the pain and next
morning went to see him again. He
gave evidence of pleasure at my ap-
proach, and 1 concluded that would
attempt to fill the tooth instead of re-

THE WONDERFUL SUN.

Actual Work Performed by Ola Sol In w
Absorption of Water.
Alta recent meeting Of the Engineers
club of this city Joseph 1. hicharas
made some interesting remarks on the
actual work OF lifting performed ny
the suns rays in the absorption OF wa
ter from through the atmosphere. lie
said: 'For many years past nave
been much interested in matters reiau-
ing to the composition OF the atmos-
phere and the work done by the sun IN
raising the moisture afterwards preclp-
itated as rain. Prof. Loomis claims
that the average height OF CLOUDS Is
two miles. Although this is probably
correct, / think there is no doubt on
the other hand that many clouds from
which we see rain falling are with
in half a mile of the surface OF the
Garth. To make moderate calculation
lot ms assume as a minimum distance
1900 feet. If you figure it out you Will
find that a rain fall OF one inch IN
an hour would amount to 72,6Oo tons OF
water deposited on each square mile'
To elevate which 1900 feet would mean
an amount of work equal to 100000
horsepower. To raise this water in an
hour by pumping engines giving duty
of 100, 600, 900 foot-pounds would require
the consumption OF 200 gross tons Of
coal | think this will help us to ap-
preciatc 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 Tor rain
fall run-off in an hour When these
quantities are considered the wonder Is
that when we have zach as that which
caused the Johnstown flood the dam
age is not much greater than 1t was on
that occasion.-Philadelphia Record.

Vast Engineering Works in the 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 Sweetwater dam, in South
ern California, is the pride of its build
ers and is worth many millions to the
lands it 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 1,2O0 miles of canals
and bitches and irrigates or will irri-
gate 100000 acres of land mostly fruit
and garden land. Imagine water
works plant with reservoir 40, 900 feet
square and having 1 200 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.
