Fertile Lands of Colorado

The traveller who visits Colorado for the
first time Is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth OF
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixed in the minds OF
strangers. crowding out all knowledge OF
her wonderfully fertile soil Little thought
Is ever given to the 1900 miles Of irrigs-
cation canals that have been constructed,
and the 2, OOO, 900 acres Of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out OF 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds Of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union
The fruit industry has reached y, 600
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is q profitable industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output OF
gold and silver, does not compare with her
AGRICULTURAL wealth A handsome and pro-
iusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled The
Fertile Lands Of Colorado" has Just been
issued by the passenger department Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railway, and gives

wnen the Spanish squadron was sight
ed: The Olympia, flagship; the Balti-
more, the Petrol, the Concord, and the
Boston. They had passed to the north
west OF Manila and were holding to
the south.
The Spanish squadron was inferior
to the attacking feet. but its position,
under the protection Of shore bat
teries, gave it an equalizing strength.
It Is estimated by all experts that one
gun mounted on shore Is worth sew
eral aboard ship. The shore gun has
a fixed platform and is, therefore, able
to IRE with much greater accuracy.

lean ships expected to see the Raleigh

seemed paralyzsd. The Raleigh sent
IN two raking fires before she steamed
back into place. II was on the third
turn, too, that the great duel between
the hagships took place. When the
American ships withdrew after the

an opportunity to rest and eat break

Austria, the Olympia and Raleigh fol-
lowed her closely. The Christina de-
stroyed, attention was turned to the
Austria. A she'll from the Raleigh
struck the Spaniard's magazine and
exploded It. So terrific was - ex-
plosion that the flying fragments Of
the cruiser tore away all the upper
works Of the gunboat FL Correo, which
lay beside her.
The feet disposed of, the American
vessels next turned their attention to
the batteries. There were some good
Eunners in he Hintorios battery. One
OF their shells smashed a whaleboat of
the Raleigh. It was not until the Ra-
leigh sailed In to about 1000 yards and
and had killed six gunners that the
battery was silenced.
The Baltimore and the Raleigh the
day after the big fight went down the
bay and destroyed six batteries At the
entrance. The Spanish garrison had

TIE faces Of Roman women Of the
upper classes are cold, hard, finished
and inpenetrable as canoes. says Har-
per's Magazine. In q face which Ii at
all beautiful you win not ind . line

and suFeness of line goes with that
complexion which is the finest Of all
compilations, pure ivory, and which
carries with 1t the promise Of tenn
permanent in which there Is all the
subtlety Of ere. The distinction be-
tween the properly arlstocratic and the
strictly plebeian face is, think, less
marked in Rome than in any city. Al
most all Roman women have regular
faces, the profile clearly cut and In
straight line; black hair, often with
deep tones of blue in II, and sometimes
curling crisply; dark eyes, often OF q
fine uniform brown, large. steady, pro-
found, with that unmesning profund;ty
which means race, and which one sees
In the Jewess, the gypsy. They have
a truly Roman dignity, and beneath
that the true FIRE, without which dig
nifty Is but the comely shroud OF q
corpse, and though there is not trace
in them Of the soft, smiling. catlike air
of the women Of Venice, and not much
Of the vivid, hardy, uncaring provo
cativeness Of the women OF Naples,
they are content to let you see in them
that reasonable nearness to the ami
nal which no Italian woman Is
ashamed to acknowledge. They have
often a certain massiveness Of build,
which makes a child look like young
woman and a young woman like
matron; but, for Italians, they are tall,
and though one sees none OF the trim
Neapolitan waists, II Is but rarely that
one sees, even among the market
women bringing in their baskets on
their heads, those square and lumpish
figures which roll so comfortably
