water supply, discussing it briefly in its
scientific and practical aspects, and then
passes quickly on to canal construction.
With simple instructions he makes the
laying out of canals and bitches with
out the aid OF an engineer an easy
task, illustrating simple levels and the
manner of their use. He tells of the vari-
Gus methods and cost of ditching, the re-
lation of size and grade to the carrying ca
pacity, how to avoid bank-cutting and
other evils, how fumes, pipes and con-
crete conduits are made and what they
cost. and other similar matter.
The important subject of the reservoir
select site, how to build the various kinds
of dams, how to estimate the capacity of
the reservoir, etc., are fully set out.
He explains what IS meant by what irri-
cation engineers term 1.-The duty of water"
the quantity of water which should be
used for a definite area of land devoted
to definite purpose. Water rights and
how to acquire them receive attention.
Elaborate instructions for the measure
ment and handling of water are given.
Then comes the subject of it's application
to the soil. The amount of water crop
should receive, the time in its development
to obtain the best results, the method of
applying water to different crops, together
with that skill in accurate and economical
tice and experience" are some of the i'm
portant considerations which the author
discusses. Then he tells of the various
best ways of applying water to different
crops, including berries, fruits and field
crops of all kinds, as we'll as the vineyard,
the garden and other kinds of growth.
The chapter on alfalfa is particularly val
liable.
The various methods of raising water by
power are fully set forth, and numerous
ingenious devices related to the subject of
irrigation are described. Sub-irrigation
and surface and subsoil drainage receive
attention, and then the book gives the
common law of irrigation, which was
written for the volume by Judge T. G.
Brown of Gunnison, Colo. This chapter
is a compact statement of all the decisions
which have been rendered affecting irriga-
ton, and contains citations of them. The

remem bered. There is in it, however,
much more than the snowstorm, the wan
derings of the lost travellers and the clos
ing sacrifice. There is the picture of
Russian peasant life, worked out with
the fidelity that impresses every
reader with a sense of its trush to
nature. There are the characters of the
greedy, aggressive, domineering peasant
proprietor, the rising man of the village,
contrasted with the character of the pa
tlent, submissive, hopeless servant. There
is the account of the workings of these two
souls In the face of death; the servant
facing the approach of death without fear,
without hope, calmly resigned to it as he
has been resigned to every other thing
that has come to him, and the strong man

THE MARRIAGE OF GUENEvBRE.

Richard Hovey, who may be classed
among the new Chicago school of writer's,
has here essayed a drama, based on those
Arthurian legends which have ever
formed mine for writer's of English
poetry. Naturally, since Tennyson has so
well exploited this field, the tendency is
to compare Mr.. Hovey's work with that of
the English bard, but this, it must be con-
fessed, is hardly fair. The knights of the
round table are here made to play their
parts, and Galahault (not Galahad), Mer-
lin, Launcelot King Arthur and others
have their sitting. There is scandal in it,
involving Sir Launcelot and Queen Guene-
we're, and q murder, but all ends with a
reasonable amount of happiness. This
speech of Launcelot to Guenevere gives an
idea of the text:
Faith believe and I do not believe.
The shocks of life Oft startle us TO thought,
Rouse us from acquiescence and reveal
That what took for credence was but custom.
Though the priests be the channels OF Gods grace
Y ct otherwise they are but men; they
AS others, may mistake for falsehood truth
And holiness for sin-God help me. sweet,
cannot reason i'll only know love you.
And Guenevere is made to say further on |:
oh, what tangled anarchy is life!

To weave for itself little order ed space,
Its sklless touch pulls unexpected threads
That tighten to It's own strangling-

space is crowded more sensible, useful and
timely information than is common in
practical works. Now that the possibilities
of irrigation in California have been dis
covered this little book will prove mine
to all who have need to apply the infor-
nation which it gives. The book is gem
erously illustrated with engravings, which
add greatly to the value of the text
The history of irrigation and the close
relation between it and the development
of the ancient civilizations Of the
world occupy the initial chapter. Then
comes a discussion of the advantages of
irrigation, in which it is shown that it is a
higher and more scientific form of agri-
culture than rain farming" and that it
produces surer results and more generous
returns. Here is sample of the style and
reasoning:
"As there is no material difference in the
cost of cultivation of an acre yielding ten
bushels of wheat and another acre YIELD
ing sixty bushels, it must be evident that
the man who gets only ten bushels pays
six times as much as does the man who
produces sixty bushels. The profits to be
derived from ''the new agriculture" as ir-
rigation has been aptly called, comes not
alone from the annual return from the
watered acres, but from the constantly in
creasing value of the land itself. Many in
dividual instances could be cited, espe-
cially in regions devoted to fruit culture
where the returns are. almost fabulous
Lands which were worth from 50 to $40 an
acre have, by the expenditure of from $40
to $50 an acre in the construction of irriga-
ton works, become worth $500 an acre and
upward. The same land set out with suit
able varieties OF trees and vines have sold
within five years of planting at $1,000 or
more an acre. So valuable are irrigated
lands in Spain that they sell from $720 to
$3.50 an acre, which is ten times the price
of the unirrigated, and the same ratio of
values prevails elsewhere"
This is his summary of the benefits of IT.
rigation:
Irrigation means better economic condi-
tons; means small farms, orchards and
vineyards; more homes and greater COM
fort for men of moderate means. 1t means
more intelligence and knowledge applied
to farming; more profit from crops; more
freight and more commerce, because spe-
cial products of higher grade and better
market value will be enhanced. 1t means
association in urban life instead of isolated
farms. 1t means the occupation of small
holdings. 1t means more telephones, tele-
graphs, good roads and swift motors;
fruit and garden growths everywhere;
schools in closer proximity; villages on
every hand, and such general prosperity
as can hardly be dreamed of by those who
are not familiar with the results of even
the present infancy of irrigation in
America"
The author then plunges into the more
