The general idea Of a desert Is a
sandy waste where not living thing
can flourish. In reality nearly all des-
erts are visited occasionally by severe
| rainstorms, after which gorgeous veg
citation springs up. The grass is rank,
flowers bloom everywhere and the trees
send forth most beautiful leaves and
blossoms. OF course this state of things
lasts but short time, month or six
weeks, after which the place is sandy
and dry again and presents but waste
Of trackless sand.
Sometimes the rains follow each 9th
er so closely that a desert teens with
animal life, birds abounding and herds
of animals wandering over the ground.
Small lakes and ponds may be found
also. In the west of the Sahara there
are copiOus showers three or four times
year, which so change the face of the
country that the traveller would not be-
lieve the scene to be the Sahara of his
geography.
Civil engineers say almost all deserts
diture of time and money and that Sa-
hara could be easily made into an in
land sea. Some time in the future it is
probable that human ingenuity and sci
cnce will have completely transformed
the waste places of cart

Vase Cost of : 1listaka

In the haste of building the Siberian
and Trans -Balkal railways twelve
pound instead Of twenty -four-pound
rails were used. wooden bridges were
built and crossings made far apart.
The result is that not more than twen-
ty miles an hour can be safely made.
To make matters worse they have
adopted the heaviest kind Of engines
which on the numerous steep grades
cannot be run less than thirty-fiye
miles an hour. 1t will cost S7,125,OOO

SUN POWER IN WELL DIGGING.
Machine for Making the Heat of the
Sum Pump Water.


Sun Pump Water.
Many inventors have experimental
with the suns heat, with various OBJ
jects in view, and some have succeed
ed in making it produce steam and
electric power, but not to much profit.
Now, however, it appears that William
Calver Of Washington has invented a
machine for doing practical work in
the arid districts. He is about to set
up one of his sun power machines in
Arizona, near Phoenix, and dig wells
there.
His plan is to make the intense heat
OF that hottest part Of the United
States develop the power to pump up
water enough to irrigate all the barren
land.
Everybody knows what transfer
nation little water makes on a des,
ert, producing an oasis of tropical ver-
dure, while all beyond this watered
space is desolation and death. 1t is
usually so expensive to drill wells and
pump the water on a desert that it
uOSs iVt ~ thC w NaStC
But if the Overabundance of sunshine
on the desert can be utilized the prob
lem is solved.
Mr.. Calver's machine consists Of a
set of big mirrors and lenses, by which
lie focuses the suns rays as boy does
with burning glass. The heat which
can be generated by Mr.. Calver's ma
chine is said to be equal to 4 furnace
for a 5OO-horse power boiler.
With such power as this available
wherever one sees fit to set up his plant
it is easy to see how well-drilling and
water pumping can be done on large
scale. Biologists have found in recent
years that our southwestern deserts
have almost numberless subterranean
streams flowing at depths varying
from twenty-five to go feet below the
dry. parched surface of the earth. So
there need be no lack of water IL the
borings are intelligently directed.
The amount of arid lands which lie
In Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Texas and Colorado Is estimated to be
at least 5OO.0OO,OOO acres. This is rem
dered useless by the need Of water,
and the reclamation Of this land would
add billions of dollars to the wealth of
the country.
In many sections Of Colorado and
other States in which irrigation is used
the best farming lands in the country
are those which were formerly worth
less and are now artificially watered.
and the very finest crops in the land
are grown there

Fr,ebtened by a Poodle.

Perhaps Burns famous line might he
made to read, "A dogs a dog for a

or mongrel, a shaggy poodle would
seem to he about the poorest kind of
dog for defense Yet a missionary,
whose experience has been among the
savages and cannibals Of Africa, says
that his little poodle, Sally. was one of
his best protectors.
One of her exploits consisted in put
ting to fight a band of hostile natives.
The missionary was travelling some dis
tance in advance of his caravan, ac-
companied only by his boy servant and
Sally. When he came to the top of n
hill large body Of Burungi warriors
in full war-paint were suddenly seen
racing toward them.
Calling Sally to him, the missionary
WHISPERED in her ear something about
..going for them" Then was witnessed
the scene of small. shaggy dog with
a very big bark, tail in the air. charging
at a company of armed men.

eler, worth going to Africa for" to

FABLE OF SOCIETY,"
Being Rather Hard on the Woman WI
Hnd AaDiratiOna

Being Rather Hard on the Woman Who
Had Aspirations.
A plain and sensible husband and
father, who was making a modest live
lihood in the retail dry goods business,
had a wife who was ambitious to shine
In society. She was quite well aware
that her husbands means were not Of
sufficient magnitude to permit al extra
ordinary dazzle in that glittering gal
axy Of gaiety, glamour and gentility,
but she banked on the matrimonial alli-
ance OF at least one of her two beauti-
full daughters with an aged millionaire
who was ready at any moment to mar
ry any pretty girl who would accept
him.
Naturally enough. 1t was not to be
expected that any young and pretty girl
could love any old thing like he was;
but then he was so rich that love might
well be asked to take n back seat.
Now, the husband of this ambitious
lady and the father of the two beauti-
full daughters was foolish enough to
think that love mixed with matrimOny
better than money did. and he was
averse to the Vaccinations Of his wife
to dispose Of either Of the daughters
to the millionaire at price. One day
the lady, In no pleasant humOr, spoke
to her husband on the subject Of his
opposition.
Il should think" she said, that you
would have some ambition for your
daughters. You have never been able
to furnish them with the means their
beauty. accomplishments and position
demand, and now. when am doing my
utmost to do parelH's part by at least
one Of them, you must oppose my ef-
forts and seek to thwart my purpose.
I should think you would show some
sign Of appreciation Of the attention
and honor paid us by the wealthy gen
tleman whom so highly respect"
Forgive me, my DEAR" responded
the husband. cOntritely. when the
gentleman comes this evening l will
obey you and show some sign OF ap-
probation"
Upon this the wife was greatly mol
lifted, and the husband went down
town to his store. returning In the
evening a little later than usual. but
quite cheerful.
At half-past 8 o'clock the wealthy
gentleman called. and shortly after the
lady had gone in to meet him her hus
band followed her. bearing in his hands
an artisticalIy painted card fully yard
square.
ut is the sign promised for the gen
tleman," he said, handing it to his wife.
and she read upon 1t in large letters,
please Call On Us Before Purchasing
Elsewhere"
ThereupOn the lady fell into state Of
madness, from which she has scarcely
yet recovered. and the husband is TAX
ing bis meals down town and sleeping
in his store.

| Jim Ham Lewis as Criminal Lawyer

"One Of the cases which attracted
great attention to Jim Ham Lewis for
his daring defense was that of young
man named George Williams. who
Drained the superintendent of the Port
Blakely Lumber Mil with fragment
of iron pipe. The deceased was shown
to have been tyrannical superior
Lewis defended Williams on the
ground that the superintendent.
though man in form, was a beast in
character; that it was the indirect or
der of God some man should kill him;
that Williams simply performed duty
to society. An acquittal followed. to

Paul Page. son Of the ex-Mayor of
Milwaukee. while on his way to Alas
ka. killed the proprietor Of one of the
principal hotels at Seattle over dis
pute growing out of a poker game.
Page had been educated in Paris,
where he had formed the absinthe
habit. Lewis defense was that Page
had been given CannabZis iEdica. or
what is known as hasheesh, and his
vision had become so distorted that
he was unable TO distinguish between
the man who was rObbing him in the
game and the proprietor of the hotel;
that having just cause to kill the
player who was rohbing him, he kill
ed the proprietor under mistaken
sense Of identity. Page was acquitted.
The case was discussed In the medical
journals of the world, not one OF them
agreeing with Lewis theory, though
he had persuaded the jury to do so."-
