The study Of the irrigation question
BY the ONCE Of Experiment Stations
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture is now being pursued by
the collation. and publication Of in
formation regarding the actual status
Of irrigation In the arid regions as re-
CARDS laws, institutions, etc. Since
lew Of the important streams used for
irrigation lie wholly within the limits
Of any n state, and there is a great
diversity Of irrigation laws in differ
snt states, interstate complications
over water rights have been frequent
and must become more and more
acute as the demand for water in
sreases, unless some mode Of settle
ment is devised. The departments in
guiries into these questions have been
inaugurated by a study Of the Bear
River Valley. The Bear river was
chosen for this purpose because in its
course Of a little over 300 miles it
crosses state lines (Wyoming, Idaho
and Otah) five times, finally emptying
INTO Salt lake, which is less than fifty
miles distant from its source, thus
presenting In small compass a great
variety Of interstate problems and
offering exceptional opportunities for
their study. Within 100 miles OF its
sourse the Bear river manages to cross
The western and southern boundaries
u Wyoming four times. In it's entire
curse these boundary crossings d.
Fide the stream into six sections.

FACTS ABOUT LIQUID AIR
THE COMPANY FORMED TOR ITS
 MANUFA CTURE HERE.

A Plant In Process Of Erection Hero by
 the Connecticut Liquid Air Company
 Automobiles to be Manufactured
 Which Will Do Propelled by the New
 Power.
 The interest which the public mani fested in liquid air at the time of Prof. Boltwood's recent lecture on the mar vicious new product seems not at all abated. A recent pamphlet furnishes some new ideas regarding the practical utility of liquid air along industrial lines. The practicabllity of its use in chilled chambers and artificial icemak- ing plants is obvious. As one foot of liquid air contains 800 cubic feet of or dinary air it's potential force is im- measurably greater than that of any other practical agent. Tn fact it pos sesses one hundred times the expansive power of steam, exerting pressure of l 12,000 pounds to tn square inch. Sud- denly heated liquid air becomes a gas. | As an explosive, a fuel for gas engines, | motive power of little weight and great force for aerial navigation, it sug- gests Itself as superior to anything else in it's line. It is also most useful as a freezing mixture in pipes, and as test ing agent.
 The Connecticut Liquid Air company has recently been incorporated under the laws of West Virginia. It is cap- italized at $1,000O0O This company has already begun the erection of a plant on Mum road, in the Townsend avenue annex. The building, which will be of brick, two stories high, 3ox75 feet, is expected to be completed by the middle of May.
 That the advantages of such com panies for investment are appreciated by capitalists is demonstrated by the fact that the stock of the General Liquid Air company of New York which first sold at $75 per s100 share. is now not obtainable. The last price quoted was $20O. This company sells its product costing eight cents e gallon at S5 a gallon.
 Treasury stock in the Connecticut Liquid Air company full paid and non assessable, is still obtainable at s4 per $10 share, double the price at which 1t was offered short time ago. Another advancement is expected in a few days.
 The local company also expects to engaged in the manufacture of auto- mobiles in the near future. The officers state that they will be able to sell au- tomobiles, propelled by liquid afr, at half the price now asked for more cumbersome vehicle. These automobiles are so arranged that in an emergency steam can be substituted for liquid air as a motive power and other mainte- nance will be much less than in any automobile yet sold.
 Another opportunity to hear lec- ture or liquid air will be offered to- morrow night. when Prof. w. P. Brad- ley of Wesleyan university will speak at the Hyperion at o'clQck. This Is one of the regular University extension course lectures. Tickets are obtainable either at the box office or at room 609 First National bank building, the office of the Connecticut Liquid Air company.

results on the whole were favorable to the bears They were very diligent in seeking out stocks which were unpro-
 teeted by supporting orders and in of- fering them down below the price level,
 where selling orders were known to be lplaced in the stocks for the purpose of saving losses on any sudden decline.
 The sudden fall in prices of the stocks thus selected and equally sudden and violent rallies gave the key to the char acter of this selling. The furry in the rate for call money in the late afternoon | to. 4 per cent. was favoring factor for | the bears. but the actual effect was very small The early tendency to advance in the railroad list was checked by the manoeuvres of the bears, and the more notable advances were about wiped out. The railroad list yielded unwillingly and only to slight degree in spite of the very light demand and fair sprinlSling of gains was retained at the close. Very earnest efforts were made to weaken Sugar but the utmost that could be achieved was a 3-point decline, offer l ings of the stock being comparatively | light.
 Third Avenue was stronger, rising 3R and imparting sympathy to the other local fractions. The most notable ex- amples of the bear tactics were furnish ed by the international paper stocks, the common falling 45s and rallying 2A and the preferred falling 71s and rallyng 4; Pressed Steel Car, which dropped SIS and rallied 5; American Hoop, which fell 31s and rallied 1A; Standard Rope and it's bond issues which were raided down from 21s to points, with rallies extending from 1 to nearly points; Peoples Gas, which fell 11a and rallied 23s.
 Practically all the iron and steel stocks were down from i to points, and many recovered a good portion of the loss, and there were other less striking examples all through the list of specialties. In the railroad list St. Paul Burlington and Baltimore and ohio showed an extreme decline of a point or over, but the net changes in the railroads are small throughout. It is evident that the final disposition of the financial bill by congress is awaited by the bull contingent, who are gener- ally confident that the provisions for additional bank circulation will be en- acted into law and will result in nota- ble expansion of the currency. The large buying of government bonds by national banks all over the country and the expert estimates which are current of the profit offered on circulation by the new provisions are the grounds of this confidence.
 Meantime the money market is work ing constantly closer and the favorable factors in the outlook are ignored in the fear that the available supply of money will not bridge the interval until the ex- pected relief.
