In the Temple Bar Rev. Mr.. Bacon
says that the best preventives of dis
ease are cleanliness and the access Of
sunlight and fresh air as being the
agents most powerful in the suppress
sion Of bacteria. Large towns in Brit
ain have each their true west end, for
the western and southern winds being
those that mostly prevail there. it fol-
lows that during large portion of the
year the smoke and fog drift away TO
the east and northeast, leaving the west
clearer and purer. The writer claims
British weather is at once, the most
capricious and Mt the same time the
best adapted to vigorous and healthiul
enjoyment of life. The Briton is stran-
ger TO the long ordeal of unvaryirg
southern skies, the breath Of pes,ilen-
tial air, and the stroke Of sun or ague.
The face and physique of the typical
Britisher is the true weather mark Of

Prehistoric Civilization.

One of the most marvellous engineer

paralleied by nything of this nallre IN
the United States to-day. The builders
of these works. q people older than the
pueblo race. cultivated thousands OF
acres OF now arid territory. Resef vafs
were constructed at the bases of noun
tains to catch the food waters before
they were absorbed into the l'se and
bottomless sand. and the bitches. where
they ran through sand. were cemented
to prevent the waters escape.
Lava has flowed into some of these
bitches, once filled by sparkling water
In centuries gone by. What can have

or what can have caused their disap-
pearance, can only be conjectured.
Unlike the ancients of other lands
these people have not left u complete
record Of their glory and downfall and
whether it was the result of climatic
conditions or upheavals or whether they
we're supplanted by more warlike and
stronger races, is a mystery. That they
were highly developed, however. in
agriculture. which is the mother of
civilization, is shown by the evidences
which they have left. Their canals
wind in and around for miles, showing
a superior engineering knowledge in
securing an exact and uniform fall;
remarkable viaducts were used in cross
ing canOns. while network of dis
tributing bitches brought every avail
able acre into use for tillage. Vast
fields of waving grain and laden orch
ards must have stretched away. down
the fertile valleys, under the magic
touch of water-fur arid America
where it has been reclaimed through
irrigation of to-day yields extravagantly
-and with such development of a
peaceful art must have been likewise
an advanced state of civilization. Here
was no irrigation by individual owners
or diverters Of water; but {: great
system covering large area, carefully
thought out and operated by a central
head for the greatest good of the many
and the utilization Of the greatest
possible acreage.
And it seems strange In the present
era of great progress. and vast under
takings that this section of country,
once the most highly cultivated of the
continent, should now be an arid and
cheerless waste with torrid sky and
parched earth, even while the same
rainfall of ages past still continues year
by year, and the water supply is still
there, only awaiting its utilization by
man.
