looked at the house in a new light
"How hard | worked on that" he said
SIN the daytime had to do something
else, but every night l would sit up late

builder saw him.
Again he turned his eyes toward the

to squint at it after the carriage had
passed it. Then he looked at the archi-

The movement which has been
agitated in California recently, look
ing to state storage of waters and
reservoir building, is to be depre-
Gated by those who favor the gener.
al development of the west along ir-
rigation lines. After years of effort
in behalf of the establishment of a
system of national irrigation, it
would surely be grave error for the
people of California or of any state
to turn aside and devote their ener-
gies to schemes for state irrigation
which might interfere with the
broader system. 1t is entirely prac-
ticable to secure the construction of
irrigation works by the federal gov
ernment, practically without ex-
pense to the individual citizen and
without loss to the government; but
the injection of local movements
and state bonding schemes is only
disturbing feature which would be
certain to retard the national move
ment.

of golf stick at the foot. The lady
has several other dogs and is quite a
fancier of CANNES. The other evening a
gentleman called who had heard great
deal of the celebrated animal. As he
entered the darkened parlor small
yellow dog of ns particular breed arose
from rug in front of the CRATE and.
unnoticed by the gentleman. slowly
walked toward the door The dog
crossed half way over he threshold and
stood in such position that person
in the parlor could just see its hind
legs and tail. At that moment the maid
lighted the gas, and the dachshund
poked its head inquiringly through an
other open door. The gentleman gazed
in amaZement at the head of the dachs-
hund peering at him from one doorway
and the hindquarters of another dog
visible in the other doorway, and then
in the hearing of the servant CALCULATED

dachshund of hers was long one, but

The first day of December 1899 is
a date of unusual Importance in the
United States, or for that matter in
the whole world so far as the pro-
gress of science is concerned. Up
on that day the waters of Chicago
river will turn in the opposite di-
rection and Lake Michigan will be-
giu to discharge into the Gulf of
Mexico. For many years the work
of cutting this immense canal has
been in progress, and after the ex-
penditure of much human energy
and ingenuity, together with $685.
100000 of money the work is done.
The plan which had for its object
the improvement of sanitary condi-
ton in the city of Chicago was con-
ceived in 1890. 1t was thought
feasible to draw the waters of lake
Michigan through the Chicago and
Des PLANES rivers to the Illinois riv-
er, and thence into the Mississippi
AT present the sluggish Chicago riv-
er, laden with the sewage of the city
pollutes the lake waters to a dang
erous degree. To get drinking wa
ter the city has built tunnels three
miles out into the lake to cribs there
fixed, but even so far out the water
is perceptibly contaminated.
The drainage canal is 35 miles
long, and the excavation of its chan
mel involved the removal of 2S,067,-
SS9 cubic feet of drift earth, and
1926, ,653 feet of solid rock.
