1t is the desire OF the company to
open up for cultivation all Of the dry
land viii CHI surrounds its new irrigat-
ion system, but the concern Is not alb
solutely dependent upon the state for
the success of the undertaking. Just
across the Kansas line, about fifty-five
miles from the big reservoirs recently
constructed, lies a tract Of 10000 acres
belonging to the company. The orig
inal intention was to open up this
land, barren at the present time for
want Of water, by constructing a ditch
from the reservoirs. Acting on this
plan the company built the ditch a
distance of thirty miles. Then the
idea OF redeeming part Of Colorado
instead of Kansas was conceived, and
with that end in view negotiations
were opened with the state land board
for the purchase of 1900 acres Of
school land and the acquisition Of
about 10000 acres government land.

The most difficult acrobatic work In the
world is to throw a triple somersaut. The
double is comparatively easy. But to de-
scribe three complete circles in the air with
the body is a bigger feat than the most ex-
pert ACROBAT of the day cares to under
take. only three men have accomplished
1t, although dozens have lost their lives in
making the attempt
To perform triple somersault one would.
or course, have to jump from spring
board high enough to be able to turn three
times before alightfng, and probably no
gymnast has sufficient power to leap any
higher than is necessary to accomplish a
double. The height Is not the only trouble.
If 1t We're, leaping Experts, by improved
appliances and practice, would overcome
that difficulty. But, after the body has
turned twice the performer loses control of
himself, and the law Of gravitation over
comes bodily deXterity. His head being
heavier than his feet he is apt to light on
1t first and break his neck.
Only one of the three acrobats who have
already accomplished the9great feat refused
to try 1t again, being assured that his
ahghting on his feet WAS an accident as he
could not control his body after turning the
second time. 80 =
Another undertook theI,feat for a wager
of $3.50. In his first attempt he turned
three times, but alighted on his hands
Everybody was satisfied with the result
and the money was rendered him. He re-
fused it, saying that the feat had not been
perfectly accomplished, and that he would
repeat 1t and alight upon his feet. He did
attempt to repeat 1t, and fell on his head,
dislocating his neck.

THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Energy of the Whole People of Egypt
Devoted to Death.
From the Saturday Review

From the Saturday Review,
To the Egyptian death was but the begin
ming of a career of adventures and expe-
rienccs compared with which the most vivid
emotions Of this life were tame. He lived
with the fear of death before his eyes.
Everything around MIN reminded him Of
that dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which his
present existence was but preparation.
His cemeteries were not hidden away in
remote suburbs; his dead were not covered
with mere grassy mounds or slab of stone.
The whole land was his graveyard; its
whole art was of the mortuary. Are there
no graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to die?" asked the
lSraclite9 In deriSiOn, and we may believe
that Moses WINGED at the sarcasm.
Egypt is the land of graves, and the whole
energy Of the people that could be spared
from keeping life together was devoted to
death. The TnlShtiest tOmbs in the world
the pyramids-were raised upon the deaths
of multitudes of toiling slaves The hills
were honey combed passages and galleries
chambers, pits all painfully eXcavated in
honor OF the illuStriOuS dead, and scuiptured
and painted with elaborate skill to make
them fit habitatlons for his ghost. Where
ever he locked the Egyptian beheld prepa-
ratlons for the great turning point of exist
ence. The mason was Squaring blocks for
the tomb chamber; the potter nodded i'm
ages of the gods or bowls or jars, to be
placed in the grave for the protection or
refreshment of the ka. exhausted with the
ordeals of the underworld, the sculptor and
painter were al work upon the walls of the
funeral chamber, Illustrating the scenes
through which the ghost to pass, or
depicting the industrious life of the de-
parted. The very temples which cluster
along the levels beside the Nile were in
sense but vestibules to the tombs In the
hills behind. The sacred lake, now the
Weedy, picturesque haunt of waterfowl was
then the scene of solemn ferryings of the
dead. The temple walls were covered with
the terrors of the judgment to come. The
houses of the living, indeed, were built of
perlshlng mud, but the homes of the dead
ana the shrines where suppiication was
made to the gods who ruled their fate were
made to last forever. On these all the
strength, the science and the artistic skill
or the ancient Egyptians were cheerfully
laVishcd.

and had looked upon them body of fad
dists and fanatics. They were neither. The
majority of them had been meat eaters,
and had deiberatel given 1t up. They had
deliberately. after trial, given it up and
chosen the other side of the question. In
his early vegetarian days he had to apollo
giZe for his position; now 1t was the meat
eaters who had to apologize. That was
much gained. but in all the criticisms he
had seen on the congress he had seen no
justification of meat eating. 1t was the
meat eaters now who had to justify their
position. The question they had to face
now was. was 1t wise that they who had
for centuries been eating meat should sud-
denly give it up?
Again was it wise in old age to give up
meat eating? Would such a change of diet
cause deterioration of the human race?
His answer was that ii not true that
the majority of people were meat eaters.
They did not cut meat. no doubt, not in all
cases from choice but from necessity. 1t
was scientific fact that the embryological
formation of man had not changed in all
the thousands of years that he had eaten
meat, and that he remained a fruit-eatfn9,
vegetable and Indicating being. The ten
denCy of all life was, moreover toward
vegetarianism. Dogs and cats were ad-
mittedly better kept away from meat, and
the skin and complexion of those human
beings who We're vegctarians were much
clearer than those who ate meat. He sug-
gested that the congress should at its final
sitting, pass two resolutions. the first set
ting forth that as the practice of flesh eat
ing was opposed to the physical and moral
welbeing of the human race the clergy
should undertake part of their work
the teaching of vegetarianiSm. second
resolution which he would suggest was
that in view of the increasing dangers from
diseased meat the county councils should
in their cookery classes give instructor
in. the preparation of suitable food sub
stances.

The Human OdOr.

FROM the indian Lancet
The fact that certain animals. and espe-
cially the dog, will recognize the propin-
guilty of their masters or friends, although
it may have been impossible for them 10
have seen them or heard their voices, has
long since suggested to psychologists and
others the idea that every human being has
a distinctive odor peculiar to himself. and
which remains more or less constant ON
wise, how would il be possible for the
bloodhound, for instance, to take The trail
of an individual and follow il for miles
through crowded thoroughfares as well as
through open country ana unerringly pick
out the individual from among hundreds IF
others?
This idea has recently received a signal
veritcation, as We are told by DR.. Bett IN
the Archiv der Gesammten Physiologie
The doctor states that a friend Of his, with
bandaged eyes and every precautiJn
against collision, was enabled, by the sense
of smell alone. to recognize persons with
whom he was acquainted. and TO call their
names the moment that they came into the
room and at the distance of several PAGES.
The experiments were varied in a number
of ways, but with the unerring faculty of
the bloodhound this man detected the iden-
tity of every individual presented. Other
instances of a similar keeHness are cited by
DR.. Bett According to the man who gave
the exhibition, every family has a charac-
teristic odor common to all the members
thereof, but the intensity of which usually
varies sufficiently among the various men,
bers to enable him to distinguish each in

Everyday Expressions That Have the

There are many pictorial expressions in

oversensitive taste might be tempted even
to designate them slang, but they are
