Albuquerque, N. M, April 21.-Depu-

of the Indian agents. One instance is
cited where party of Navajos went
into the Mogollon mountains last No

killing 376 deer, 115 turkeys and an un-
told amount of small game. The pc
tition further states that when game
is scarce the Indians do not hesitate to
appropriate ranch cattle.

Boston, April 21.-Ex-C Champion John
L. Sullivan distinguished himself as a
life-saver this afternoon. He heard a
woman scream in the rear of the house

of being burned to death, her clothing
having been ignited by blazing fat on
the stove. He quickly wrapped big

Mrs. Donnelly's burns proved fatal.
She died at the city hospital at 2:15 this

just as surely as though every ST. oke Of
the oar was accompanied by rhyme
from Tasso. Amsterdam Is, IN fact,
city of canals. The town is built on
about ninety islands, which, by the ar
tiflcial waterways, are cut up into all
sorts of sizes and shapes, and on them
are builded thousands upon thousands
of queer old houses, some, perhaps
most of them, dating back to the time
when the burghers banded themselves
together to overthrow the Spanish rule.
In the matter of canals, Rotterdam
and u dozen other cities Of the coast
are exactly like Amsterdam, while all
over the country dampness and mois-
ture are the rule. Situated on one of
the most inclement coasts in Europe,
a wind from almost any direction comes
laden with moisture, which settles on
every object, so that during half the
year and large part of the other half
the walls of the houses, both within and
without, the woodwork, and even the
domestic utensils, feel damp and clam
my. To people who have been accus-
toned to different climate, such per-
sistent dampness is very hard to bear,
and even the natives, accustomed as
they are to much moisture, suffer from
1t, for diseases such as rheumatism,
consumption and others induced by
the climate, are very common.
But the never-ceasing dampness has
another unfavorable feature, which, to-
gether with the fiat and depressed
country and the innumerable canals,
render Holland peculiarly liable to such
a disease as cholera. 1t is generally
understood that Dutch housewives are
the neatest people on the earth. The
housekeepers Of other nations may be
neat from principle; with the Dutch
neatness has become mania A Hol-
land housewife is never SO happy as

dalton of bort. High water in the
River Mouse occurred simultaneously
with n high tide. The dixie gave way,
and 100000 people persisted. In 1880
there was another failure of these de-
lenses against the sea. Heavy rains,
high water in the rivers, high tides.
and strong winds came together, and
the bikes seemed to melt away in q
hundred places at once. All the low
country was inundated and the drown
ed numbered more than 100000. There
never were more frightful disasters,
and that they are remembered in Hol-
land is proved by the zeal with which
the bikes are kept up and the interest
shown in them not only by the state,
but by every citizen.
In such II country the problem Of
drainage becomes of the first impor-
lance. Lying, as most of it does, at u
lower level than that of the sea- nat
ural drainage is impossible and re-
course must be had to artificial means.
The extent to which this system of arti-
ficially carrying off the rainfall as well
as the water that insensibly percolates
through the giant barriers that have
been raised can be appreciated only
by an actual inspection of the huge
pumps that are provided for the pur-
pose Of raising and sending off the
superhuous water. When the Haar-
lem Lake was drained an enormous
steam engine was constructed for the
purpose of working eleven great
pumps, each Of siXty-three inches in
diameter and ten-foot stroke, and in
actual work these pumps discharged
sixty-six tons Of water at every stroke.
For four years the pumping went
steadily on, or from May, 1913, to July,

population In such place is found
nowhere else In the world, and when II
Is remembered that these low-lying
countries have always been thickly set
tied, the statement that the ground on
which they live Is mass Of putridity
can be easily understood. In soil
clogged with the refuse of ages, any
sort of pestilence may Turk, and in view
of the dampnoss, the canals and the
impurities Of bullt-up grounds the won
der is not that cholera stays in such u
locality, but that it can ever be forced
out.
The Netherlands form the western
end of the vast plain that crosses Eu-
rope from the east to west. From 100
to 200 miles In width, it has no eleva-
ton greater than 300 feet until the
foothills of the Ural Mountains are
reached. In Holland the plain reaches
the sea and really sinks below the sea
level, for the greater part Of this sim
gular country is lower than the level
even of the lowest tides, and is kept
from overflow only by constant vigil
lance, unremitting eXertion and lib
eral outlay of money. The dixie system
Of Holland is of an antiquity so great
that history does not mention its be-
ginning. The Roman invaders of this
country in the century before the
Christian era found n system of arti-
fetal sea walls in use, perhaps not
very extensive, nor very efficient, but
nevertheless sufficient to meet ordinary
emergencies, and from that time to this
there never has been a year during
which the Holanders were not looking
after their bikes, except one. The
worlds history records no more des-
perate eXpedient than that adopted by
William the Stakeholder, who resolved
to cut the bikes and let in the sea, rath-
err than submit to the French invaders
but the device was entirely successful;
the French army was literally drowned
out of the country, and the Hollanders
remained victOrs, though retaining SOW
ereignty of only watery waste. Every
other year the bikes have been watch
ed with scrupulous care. Day and
night watchmen patrol their whole
length with keen eyes, for the tlniest
leak would, in few hours, become a
creyasse that no earthly power could
stop. A break would mean the munda-
ton of thousands of acres, the blot
ting out of thousands of lives. There
