Progress OF Irritation.

Scientific American: The irrigated and
irrigatable lands of the western part OF
the United States are mainly included be-
tween the one hundreth meridian an the
Pacific Ocean, and comprise, according to
officisl surveys, about SIC, 1000, 900 acres.
Within this great extent of country are
nearly all possible combinations Of soil
and climate. In general way, however,
four great classes may be distinguished.
These are desert, pasture, frewood and
timber lands. OF these, the desert land
10 practically valueless, the pasture land
is too arid to support vegetation and may
be used only as a pastursge, and only
the two latter divisions are more or less
fertile. The irrigated sections are includ-
cd in the desert and pasture lands. At
present some 1861 1881 acres, or less than
six-tenths OF one per cent of the satire
region, have been provided with an srti-
fetal water supply sufficient to raise
crops.
The proportion of this desert or pasture
land which may in the future be brought
under irrigation depends, of course, upon
the thoroughness and ingenuity with
which the water supply is utilized, but it
is probable that it will be under 3 per
cent of the entire area. Statistics show,
however, that irrigation is profitable
measure and cannot be neglected. The
average cost OF water for irrigation
throughout this section is at the rate OF
tS.l5 per acre. Applying these figures to
the total acreage the total first cost OF ir-
rgating the lands of last year was about
$50 100000 and the total value of the
water right was s94, 4l2,OO0. the increase
Of vsluing being $64 100000, or 21S.S4
per cent of the investment. The estimated
Rrst cost of the irrigated lands from which
crops have been obtained was s77 500, OOC
in 1889, and their present value, includ

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube is infamed YOU have
rumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

ing the Improvements, is $296, $50, 900,
showing an increased value of $2l9, &c.,
600, or 2S3 0S per cent of the investment
in the land. The average value OF the
crop raised was sl4.s9 per acre, or total
Of $53 ,057 900. This, it must be consider
ed, exhibits merely the cost and value Of
irrigation in the arid regions. The value
Of the untitled water supply can scarce
ly be estimated.
DuriLg the past four years the federal
government has done much to further the
work Of irrigation by establishing an irri.
CATION survey and by appointing State
engineers in California, Colorado and
Wyoming, whose duties are practically
confined to irrigation.
At present the irrigation OF this region
is carried on by what 10 called gravity ir-
rigation.
The different systems adopted by mod
ern engineers may be classified as peren-
nial, periodical and storage work. by irri-
CATION from artesian wells and from sub
surface sources. The perennial irrigation
includes the supply OF water from canals
which receive their supply from streams
which give 8 constant supply of water
through out the entire year.
Periodical irrigation includes the ca
mails which have supply only at certain
seasons of the year. A more common
plan, however, is the storage system.
The dams for this system are generally
constructed on intermittent streams for
the purpose of receiving and preserving
their food waters.
The irrigation from srtesian wells is
prscticed wholly by means OF canals,
which convey the water to the land d.
rectly from the wells. And the irrigation
from ground water sources is performed
by tunnels under the beds OF streams,
which tap some water-bearing stratu u 4.
or by cuts in sloping ground, by wells to
collect the ground water, and by similar
contrivances.
TIE work of irrigation calls for much
skill and scientific knowledge. Climate,
geology and topography must all be con-
sidered in the work. 1t is to be hoped
that the skilled engineers now at work on
the subject will provide an economical
and efficient system for the future.

created.

The Theory of the Tides

New York Sun: The following is given
in brief as the theory most generally en-
tertained by scientists. with few excep-
tions. concerning tides: 1t is assumed
that the moon, acting alone, would not
only raise wave on the side of the earth
nearest to it by gravitatlon, but would
also draw the earth itself far enough out
of its course to leav. behind some of the
water on the further side, which water
would then be -aised relatively to the
earth's 8 surface and constitute the second
tidal wave: the sun alone would act sim
ilarly, although its tide-raising effect is
only about two-Hiths that of the moon.
Now, at new moon, the. sun and moon
pull together" and give higher tiues
than at the first and third quarters.
when the sun draws its right angles to
the line of the moons attraction, and at
full moon, when the sun is on the oppo-
site side of the earth from the moon, vii
tually the same effect is observed as at
new moon: but the double tide-raising
action of the sun would again be super
imposed on that of the moon and give
tides on opposite sides as high as those
a fortnight before.
