CuriOsities of Colds.

It Is remarkable fact that people
catch colds only when they are warm.
a correspondent Of the London Spectator
says that there are places where it is
impossible to catch d cold, simply be-
cause there are no colds to catch and
that these places, singularly enough, are
in the Arctic region. The explorer Nam
spent Iii the Arctic never cuught cold,
though they were constantly exposed to
fatigue ahd wet, ind slept lii wet gar:
nlents and weilt about all day with wet
feet. The moment they returned to civ
ilizatioii they all caught cold. The mem
bers of the jackson Harmsworth Arctic
expedition stayed three years In Franz
Josef land and never had cold, though
wet feet was their "chronic experience"
exposed to gale in 4 boat FOR three days
and nights, oil drenched to the skin,
and when they arrived on land, had to
remain In their wet clothes and let them
dry Oil their bodies. With but two ex-
ceptions they caught severe colds as soon
as they returned to civilization. Sir Mar
tin Conway, while exploring Spitzbergen,
with his four compuhions, was often wet
through ahd frequently slept lii wet
clothes, but they never caught cold until
they returned to the Andree settlement
on the coast. Wherever European set
Elements exist, there colds seem to de-
yelop, and the writer says that the only
time the people living on the lonely isle
of St. Kilda catch cold Is when excur-
sion steamers land, bringing European
visitors, Then every inha bitant of the
island. babies included, is seized with
a cold; all of which, the writer says,
shows that cold is din infectious disease
prevalent only where civilized tllah ex-
lists. This theory indicates that the more
the people coddle themselves the more
likely they are to catch cold, and that
fresh, cool air with good ventilation is
the best preventive of coughs and colds

Irrigation on q Great Scale.

England Is preparing to spend $500, 900
year for thirty years for a great lake
for irrigating purposes, to be made by
damming the Nile. OF the results Of this
dam building, +. G. Pehfeld speaks thus
in the Century:
The Egypt of the map shows more
than 100000 square miles, an expanse
nearly seven times as great as New Nng-
land; but the practical Egypt that
which produces crops and sustains life
is barely as large as tine states Of Yer
mont and Rhode Island taken together.
This is the ribbon~like strip of alluvial
land bordering the Nile, a few miles
wide Oh each side, and measuring not
more than 10000 square miles. The ex.
tension planiied, and to be completed ii,
the next six Or eight years, wholly by
irrigation, is no less magnificent in con-
ception than the rescuing from the
Libyan and Arabian deserts of $500
square miles, or twice the area of Rhode
Island. This will be exploitation in it's
trucst sense, and it's accomplishment will
be yerification of the ancient saying
that Egypt is the Nile, and the Nile is
Egypt"
As an object lesson this Egyptian en-
terprise should have no more interested
observers than in America. especially In
Colorado, Nevada, California, and other
states Of the West. where the irrigation
expert Is succeeding the railway builder
as developer.
