seton-Thompson's Lecture.

Mr.. Ernest Seton Thompson, the natural
fist. author and artist. gave his illustrated
lecture wild Animals" yesterday after
noon at the hall OF the National Rifles
Armory. under the auspices Of Major J. b.
Pond, to an audience Of fair proportions.
The lecture. which is an elaboration Of
parts Of Mr.. Thompsons well known vol
ume on the same subject was illustrated by
nearly a hundred stereoptcOn views from
photographs and sketches made by the
author in his travels and hunting eXpedi-
tions in the far West In fact, the lecture
was little more than a running commentary
in simple but graphic language on the
views shown and rather illustrated them
than was illustrated by them. II requires
nerve OF q high order to take successive
snap shots at a grizzly that is steadily
advancing on one with probably hostile
intent. but that is one OF the things Mr..
Thompson did, and it qualities him TO
speak with authority on the habits and Gus
toms and ways Of grizzlies. The lecture
will be repeated this afternoon at Ais at
the Rifles Hall

An airship few in the winds face at

was invented by Count Won Zeppelin,
who has devoted his life and fortune
to aerial navigation. This ship cost a
quarter of million dollars. It arose
half mile with the Count and four
comrades. 1t went with or against the
wind, cut circles, and rose or fell at
the will of the operator. The Count
announces that the problem of the
navigation of the air has at last been
solved.

Federal Irrigation Coming.

Looking over the field at the close OF
the century it is seen that the United
States stands particularly alone among
irrigation countries in having left all
the work of reclamation to the unaid-
ed efforts of private capital, and the
prodigality of the surrender of public
control of streams. In one respect
the policy pursued has been success
full. Il has resulted in an enormous
investment mot less than 500, 600, 900
aud some estimates make it twice that
sum and the creation of taxable and
productive wealth of many times the
amount invested. We have now about
reached the limit of this source of
growth. There will be few large priv
ate investments in canals hereafter I'M
til we have better and more liberal ir-
rigation laws. Entrance on the COM
ing century is confronted by larger
problems-the storage of food waters,
the interstate division of streams, and
the Inauguration OF, an adequate sys-
tenn of public control, which will in
