Roberts investigation.

The Congressional committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charge
preferred against Congressman Rob-
erts of Utah, will visit Utah to take
testimony in the case.
Miss Roberts, who accompanied
her father as private secretary, COM
plains that tue interest and curiosity
manifested in her, and the remarks
passed about her in public and other
places, sometimes in hearing,
amount to direct insults and mark
course Of treatment towards her in
the east which would not be tolera-
ted or permitted in any western city,
even in place where opponents OF
her father are strongest.
Roberts fears he will be kept out
OF his seat so long by dilatory meas.
ures on the part of the examining
committee, if nothing else, that il
the seat is finally awarded him it will
hardly be worth taking. The i'm
preston is strong however, in nearly
every quarter that he will not be
permitted to take the seat at all.

Occasionally small diamonds have
been found among the ridges of gravel
brought down from the north in the
age of the glaciers and scattered over
the states bordering on the great lakes.
Prof. Hobbs, of the University of Wis
consin, thinks that these diamonds
came from some place in Canada, and
that by tracing back the lines of ad-
vance of the glaciers the original loca-
tion of the gems may be discovered.
An effort to carry out Prof. Hobbs sug-
gestion is to be made, and Prof. Fl. L.
Fairchild, of the University of Roches-
ter; Prof. l. c. Russell, of the Univer-
sity of Michigan; Prof. ]. P. Iddings,
of the University of Chicago, and Prof.

bian museum, will cooperate by exam
ining, without charge, suspected gems
found by persons living near the gla-
cial moraines.-Youth's Companion.

HUNGRY sUppLICANTs FED.
= Chicago Hospital and Its singular
Method Of Dispensiug
Charity.

Belief in the Divine principle that the
hungry shall be fed has led the sisters
of charity in certain Chicago hospital
TO segregate one portion of their build
ing to the reception and comfort of pen
niless wanderers. While this section of
the hospital outwardly resembles a
prison, it is comfortably furnished, and
those who enter it's portals find hope
and encouragement to continue the bat
tie OF life.
For years the sisters were annoyed bv
the depredations committed upon their
premises by INDECENT characters. 1t was
this and their desire not to turn the
hungry away that induced them to pre-
pare their haven for the foodless. They
summoned carpenter and informed
him what they required. His ingenuity
solved the problem, and after a few
days work the dining-room for the pen.
niiess was completed.
The entrance is at the northern end
of the basement. 1t is found usually by
some mysterious sign which the last
applicant has left behind. The hungry
supplicant raps at the grated door, and
is surprised to see it slide back noise
lessly, as if in response to his magic
touch. He hears a voice bid him "Come
in Somewhat awed by his quiet re-
ception, he enters the corridor, and
turns to his right. Half a dozen steps
carry him to another grated door, which
opens into dimly lighted room. Reas-
sured by the jet of light, he shuffIss
forward and seats himself in an easy
chair at clean, iron-topped table, the
door of the room swinging to and snap
ping behind him. He is prisoner for
the time being, but kindly voice of a
sweet-faced sister dispels the queer
feeling which came over him when he
observed the resemblance of his quar-
ters to prison.
A lift drops at the side from an upper
floor, and the sister, who appears to be
ministering to his wants with mechan-
ical assistance, advises him to help him
self. He inspects the dishes as he trans
fers them to the table, and finds that
he has an excellent meal before him.
Feeling like lord, he sits down and dis
poses of the tempting food. The future
looks more roseate as he finishes and
arises to replace the empty dishes in the
lift. He hears the door open again, and
passes out, lowly muttering his thanks
| in an audible tone to his unseen bene-
factor as he returns to the sunlight

MINING CLAIM CocAroRs.
4 Good Many of Them Fall to Comply
With the Law of 1897

w" 1tS law OF 1851
A good many prospectors and
Others are doing assessment work
these days on claims which they have
located since the passage of the Stat
tute in March 1897. In many of
these cases the requirements of the
new law have been disregarded in
making the locations and their
claims to the ground amounts to
nothing.
the average old time prospector finds
1T hard to understand why an old
fashioned short notice is not entirely
sufficient to enable him to hold the
ground he claims under it.
Some fail to understand that de-
velopment work is required to COM
plete location, or that the claim
must be monumented or otherwise
marked out on the ground in a man
ner more effective, and public than
under the old system.
Others again do the necessary de-
velopment work and mark their claim
properly, but fail to embrace these
facts in their notice of location so
that the record of it becomes void
under the statute.
In addition to the facts contained
in an ordinary notice of location,
and with which the old time pros
pector is quite familiar. the new law
requires that each notice of location
of mining claim made after the
17th. of March 1897, shall contain
among other necessary matter: a
description of the dimentions and
location of the discovery shaft, or its
equivalent, sunk upon the claim,
and the location and description OF
each corner with the markings there
on, and further provides that "any
record of the location of lode min
ing claim which shall not contain all
the requirements named in this Sec
ton shall be void"
This provision has been so gen.
orally disregarded that many a claim
is today open to relocation, upon
which assessment work is supposed
to have been properly performed,
and every claim owner who knows
of mistake of this character in his
location should proceed to correct
it without delay.

Decrease in Pensions.

For the time in many years there
was a decrease in the number of pen
sioners during the last fiscal year,
and decrease in expenditures of

The MaIariaI Mo.quito.

Nature states that Maj. Ronald Ross,
the leader of the expedition to Sierra
Leone, found that in India the malaria
parasite is borne by the spotted-winged
mosquitoes and not by the common
brindled or gray mosquitoes, and his
recent cable message announced that
malaria on the ives, coast of Africa
is produced under the same conditions
as in India. There is evidence that the
Misunderstanding species only breeds In

WAFER STORAGE.
Recommended Heartily by the Secretary
of the Interior.

of the Interior.
A good portion of tue report of the
Secretary of the Interior is devoted
to arid lands and how they may be
reclaimed.
OF unreserved and unappropri-
ated public lands Nevada is shown
to possess 81 1926, TAO. acres, of which
large quantity 32,15S,27 acres are
unsurveyed.
The irrigable area of the arid re-
gion is placed at $4,000, 900 acres
distributed throughout the mountain
states and territories as follows:
Arizona. 1000 acres; Colorado g.
600, 900; Idaho 5000, 900; Montana
1l,OOO; Nevada 100000; North
Dakota 100000; Utah 1900, 900;
and Wyoming 100000.
Secretary Wilson says: That this
vast areage capable of sustaining and
comfortably supporting under a sys-
tenn af irrigation, population of at
least $4,000, 900 people, should re-
main practically a desert is not in
harmony with the progressive spirit
. of the age or in keeping with the
possibilities of the future. What
can be accomplished upon the vary
ing conditions in each of the local
tiles named, and what should be at
tempted also depends upon the re-
turns to be expected. In other
words the fundamental question is
whether it would pay to store and
control the storm and food waters,
which by proper irrigation, may add
increased wealth and provide happy
homes for willing workers.
The cost per acre of properly
constructed irrigation system neces-
sarily varies and depends on local
conditions. The remarkable results,
however, accomplished in the valley
of the Nile is practically redeeming
Egypt from state of bankruptcy,
should encourage a most liberal
consideration of the question of irri-
cation. it is desirable that such
reasonable expenditures be made by
the federal government, as we'll as
by states, as will gradually but as
rapidly as possible, insure the bles-
sings consequent upon welldefn,
ed and executed system of irrigation.
Recommendations in the way of
reservoir sites, methods of reclaim
ing, alterations in the laws relating
to the use of water etc. follow, and
of the misuse of water says
"Many of the valleys of the noun
tain states are being injured serious
ly by the injudicious use OF water.
Wherever the soil contains alkali,
it is being brought to the surface
when too much water is applied, and
the land thereby rendered infertile.
More than one third of the country
depends upon the success of irriga-
tion to maintain the people, the
industries and political institutions
of that area, and future growth will
also be measured by the increase OF
the reclaimed area. In a region
which in the extent and diversity of
its mineral wealth. has no equal on
the globe, the riches of the mines in
the hills are already surpassed by
the productions of the irrigated
farms in the valleys, and the nation
at large is at last awakening to the
fact that the development of the use
of the rivers and the arid land of
the west will constitute one of the
most important epochs in our in
crease in population and material
wealth.
