HAFF MAY SAIL BOSTON BOAT.

The presence in Boston yesterday OF
Capt. Hank Haff, the veteran sailing
master of four cup defenders. created re-
newed interest in the still unsettled
question of who is to be skipper OF the
Lawson boat Up to the present time the
general opinion has been that Capt.
Mate Watson of the schooner yacht
Constellation. was practically assured OF
the berth. although Mr.. Lawson would
never admit that his services had been
secured.
Yesterdays developments proved con-
clusively that Mr.. Lawson knew what he
was talking about when he said that
Watson had not been decided upon. Hafr
reached Boston early yesterday morning,
and after breakfast. visited Gen. Paine
and J. Malcolm Forbes. Then he went

When asked by one reporter. he said no
came to Boston upon the Invitation of
Gen. Paine. but to another he said Law
son and Crowninshield had asked him to
come to talk matters over. He also said
that Watson would sail the Lawson boat
In the trial races. In the afternoon. the
veteran skipper was closeted with Mr.
Lawson and Designer Crowninshield In
the formers office. and the conversation
he had with these two gentlemen caused
him to change his mind about going back
to New York last night. and remain over
until today.
Designer Crowninshield said to the
reporters after the conference that the
question OF skipper had not been de-
cided, and that a final meeting was to be
held today for the purpose of settling
the question. He said Capt. Han was a
strong possibility. and for that reason he
had asked the latter to remain over
night.
The work of laying down the Lawson
boat will be started very soon. The Law
leys have completed the job OF taking the
lines from the model and comparing
them with these furnished by Crownin-
shield. Just az soon as the mold loft is
completed, the designer. will send
couple OF his draughtsmen over to assist
in laying down the craft and will keep
a watchful eye over that delicate task
himself for he we'll knows the disastrous
results which might ensue from a very
slight error

No view OF irrigation can be apprecia-
tive which regards IL as merely an adj
junct TO agriculture, says William Il.
Smythe in the Atlantic. 1t is social and
economic factor In a. much larger way.
1t not only makes a civilization In the
midst of desolate waste: it shapes and
colors that civilization after It's own pecu-
liar design. 1t forbids land monopoly.
because only the small farm pays when
the land must be artidcially watered. BY
the same token IT makes near neighbors
and high social conditions. 1t discour-
ages servile labor by developing a class
of small landed proprietors who work
for themselves and need little help be-
yond that which their own family sup
ply. We can expect no million
aire to grow from such surroundings,
but neither should there be any paupers.
There is another influence peculiSr to
irrigation. This is the influence
which makes for cooperation. Irrigation
is not and can never be an individual on
terprise. A single settler cannot turn
river to water his own patch Of land, nor
can he distribute the waters flowing
through a system or canals. The
result is that corporation precedes irri-
CATION, and is speedily woven into the en-
tire Industrial and social fabric OF the
community In localities which have been
longest established this principle has ex-
tended itself TO stores. factories and
banks. These things will not come
suddenly to pass. but they will come be-
cause the conditions and surroundings
OF the time and place will strongly favor,
TT not actually compel. the result. Such
are the hopes Of arid America. What
other part OF the world offers fairer
prospect TO mankind?

FOR PUBLIC GOLF LINKS.

II is possible that the citizens OF Prov
idence may in the near future have the
opportunity of playing golf on public
links
There are several links in or about the
city, but all are owned by private clubs
and the grounds are restricted to men,
bers. The general public thus have no
place to play, and are compelled for the
want OF more suitable links TO drive =
ball around an open lot.
In Boston the public links are at Frank
lin Park, where last season hundreds of
enthusiasts enjoyed the game New York
city and Syracuse, also have public links
and crowds may be seen daily partaking
OF the healthy exercise the game of golf
affords.
Chairman Deming of the Park Com
mission is strongly in favor of municipal
links and stated yesterday that the city
ought to provide suitable grounds where
citizens OF all classes may find enjoy
ment in the game.
At Fields Point there are natural golf
links and one could be laid out at very
low cost The Quinnobequin Club played
there during the season of 1899, but being
unable to secure lease for an extended
period moved out beyond the city limits.
IL is to be hoped the council may take
this project up and at the cost of a few
hundred dollars furnish enjoyment for
thousands OF citizens

IS The GARDEN OF EDEN OURS ?

Dean Hall, geologist i'm the University
of Minnesota, calls attention to the fact
that the report of DIR. ID. F. Becker, one
of the United States geologists who went
with the army to the Philippine Islands.
contains the geological history of the
archipelago which leads scientists TO be-
leve that the islands comprise the Gar
den OF Eden, the original home OF man,
and that the Tagalo of today is a direct
descendant from the man of Borneo, mid
way in development between the ape and
the human species, says the Chicago
Record.
DIR. Becker reports that during the ter
tiary period of geological history these
islands were in the midst of swamps
and shallow seas at the very edge OF the
Mediterranean Lake. which extended
westward to the Atlantic ocean. Later
the bottom of the sea was lifted above
land. The Alps. Caucasus and Himalaya
mountains now stand at the highest
points to which the ancient sea bottom
of limestone and shales were lifted. The
Philippines were lifted, too. so that dur
ing the later tertiary time the Philip
pine Islands were a part OF the continent
of Asia and migration of land animals
and plants took place freely. Then came
a subsistence, which cut of the migration
of animals TO and from the Islands and
with this subsistence begins a period OF
great volcanic activity and huge quanti-
ties of iava were thrown out and spread
over the land and ocean bottom
There is no evidence of land connection
between the Philippines and Asia from
that time 10 the present. There are evil
dences OF constant oscillations. upliftings
and submergencies, but no movements OF
sufficient magnitude TO make dry land
across the China sea.
But the item OF special interest Is the
opinion OF the late Prof. Marsh that one
of the earliest haunts OF the human spe-
cies was the Philippine archipelago, with
Borneo and other southwark lying ISL
ands. The great elevation which lifted
the bottom OF the old Mediterranean sea
into mountain ranges like the Alps and
Himalayas and the following submergen-
cies OF the area Of the China sea beneath
ocean waters has profound effect upon
the migration of the human race. "a
II should be proved" says Or. Hall. that
the original home of man was. as Marsh
seems 20 suggest, In the Philippine ISL
ands. then In bringing under the flag
the original Garden of Eden we shall Sc
cure treasure beyond financial or po-
litical valuation.
"Only few years ago I'm the island OF
Borneo the fossil remains were found of
queer creatures believed to be midway In
degree OF development between the ape
and man The climatic conditions favor
ing the development OF animal forces ap-
pear TO exist there In highest perfection.
The animals that were associated with
man I'm the original Garden OF Eden. as
they were driven In every direction by
the movements OF the sea, and rivers of
Basaot. show some marked divergences.
as those OF India, China and the Philip
pine Islands are compared. IL Is easy
TO see how under such intense conditions
the neighbors OF the original lian OF
Borneo, isolated on his own island TO the
north. could have developed into the
Tagalo OF today"
