A YOUTHFUL DIPLOMAT.
He Thought Up a Scheme by Which He Won Over His InduIgent
 Father. 4%z~

United States Senator John c. Spoon CT, of Wisconsin, has ideas of domestic discipline as we'll as foreign relations Several years ago his young son, aged six, importuned him for money, after the manner of small boys.
 What do you want to do with it ?' asked his father.
 'Oh, nothing" responded the boy, in- definitely.
 You have plenty of spending money, and l buy you everything you need or ought to want. Unless there IS some special reason, can't let you have it. There isn't any reason, is there?"
 Not exactly, but I want it. You know how it is, papa; you were a little boy once."
 This appeal failed to move the sen- ator's heart, and silence followed that lasted an hour or more. During this time the father read and the son thought. At length he said:
 "Papa."
 "Yes, my son."
 Suppose I was to meet highway man on lonely street late at night g
 "Yes, my son."
 And suppose he should pull out a pistol and say: Little boy! Your money or your life!' What could do 2" Ten minutes later the senator's son was whistling to his chum outside his chum's window, with a new silver half dollar in his pocket.-Philadelphia Post.

HAVE NOT RISEN IN PRICE.
New York Dealers Deny That Dia-
 mOnds Are More Expensive k. Than Formerly.

In spite of many articles which have appeared recently stating that the price of diamonds had risen since the beginning of the Boer war, the whole ale dealers of New York city are unanimous in saying there has been ab- olutely no advance in the price of gems.
 It is admitted that diamonds are a trife higher at present than they were year ago, but the dealers claim that he loss falls upon them and not upon the retail buyer. The wholesalers claim that the prices of the stones sold over the counter have remained prac- tically the same as at the beginning of the war, and, should hostilities cease tomorrow between the British and the Boers, the value of the gems would neither advance nor decrease.
 The slight advance which occurred shortly before the war is assigned by many to natural causes; others affirm that the diamond syndicate in Africa, which is controlled by Cecil Rhodes, foresaw the war and advanced prices, trusting that the public would think that the war had lessened the output.
 In view of the recent relief of Kim berley, events will probably demon strate in the near future what truth ;here may be in the latter conjecture.

New Cures for Lunaey.

1.-The cures which we have to resort to are in many cases, said the head physi- clan of one of the largest Scottish luna tic asyIums, "as curious as our patients whims. One patient had for six years been under the delusion that his head was turned the wrong way physically. We put him iD chair, tied him secure ly, and then, having blindfolded him, gave him an electric shock. He got up crying with delight, and after that mo- ment he was as sane as you or I. An other declared he was top-heavy. We weighted his feet with two three-stOne weights and left him for day. Wheth- CT the extra weight effected the cure or not I don't know, but he to-day holds a very responsible position under the government, and is one of the elearest- headed men I know. Another thought that if he went to sleep the world would stop moving. We dosed him with chloroform. When he woke 12 hours later and found everything all right he wept with joy, then turned over and went to sleep again, waking six hours later sane. -N. I. Journal .s

Irrigation
 Matters.
DENVER BUSINESS MEN.
Want Large Appropriations for Government Irrigation Surveys.

Colorado business men recog-
 nize the benefit that attached tc
 their State thru the work of the
 Government along the lines of ir-
 rigation investigation and surveys
 for reservoir sites. The Denver Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade last month adopted rigor- ous resolutions calling attention to the great develoment possible in Colorado, thru irrigation, and to the generallyl.s' accepted opinion that only by the storage of flood waters can the future problem affecting successful farming in the arid region be solved, and pledg- ing support to the United. States Geological Survey in securing large Congressional appropriations for carrying on their work for surveys of reservoir sites, and other pre- liminary irrigation work.

A Coed Investment.

Every dollar expended by the National Government for the build ing of storage reservoirs and great irrigation works to reclaim the millions of acres of western aridity willreturn to the Federal treasury six to one in the form ofincreased taxes on increased land values and pop ulatinn. Every Congressman knows this, now that his aite,,tion is being called to the subject by eastern manufacturers who want a larger market in the West for their goods, and all that is required for his favorable action is strong and aggressive demand from every western State and Territory and Congressional district.

Waste of the Forests.

Many sections of the West are beginning to reap the bitter fruits of forest destruction. A few years ago the snow would drift, and pile up in the mountain gulches, thick ly studded with pine and other trees, forming an almost impenetrable forest protection, and there gradu- ally melt away, supplying water for the streams until late in the season. This, now, has too often changed. The timber has gradully but surely, been cut and burnt away, until now some of the finest forests of the mountains have disappear ed, and where the snow banks would remain until late in the season, they now disappear months earlier, and instead of melting gradually, the food-waters come with a rush, and then cease when most needed. There is scarcely anything more important than forest protection and prevention, which means a guiding ot the water supply; and every State and every section should rouse to active local organi- zation national and operation.
The St. Johns herald., 1900-10-27
Land and Water.

Ut has been the experience, not Of one country or of one people or of one time, but the experience ol all countries and all people and all times, that wherever is separated the ownership of the land and the water, stagnation of development follows. That whenever you unite the ownership of the land and the water, so that the land owns the water, the man who owns both is an independent freeman, and then you have conditions which create development and permanent pros perity. ."-George H Maxwell in ad- dress at Phoenix, Arizona.

DEEPENING LAKE ERIE
Project to Dam Niagara River to Meet the DtminutIOn of
 Water.

The commerce of the great lakes is so vast that the lake waterway has be- come almost as important as the path across the Atlantic. In the lake navi- gation season of 1899, more than s,0OO,- 900 bushels of grain, nearly 1000, 900 barrels of flour, 13,0O0,0O0 tons of iron and 1,0OO, 900 feet of lumber passed through the Sault Sainte Marie canal, bound toward the east and Europe.
 Practically all this traffic, and an additional amount from Lakes Mich igan and Huron, pass through Lake Erie. Erie is the shallowest of all the lakes, and the fact is apparent that it's level is lower than it was formerly. The possibility of it's falling still more, as result of the diversion of some Of the water of Lake Michigan through the great drainage canal from Chicago to the basin of the Mississippi, leads to an apprehension that sooner or later the effect will be harmful.
 Now project has been devised. and a bill introduced in congress to carry 1t into effect, to meet the diminutiOn of the water of Lake Erie by constructing a dam in the Niagara river near Buffalo, and raising the level of Lake Erie by about three feet. Such a dam would deepen the water of the Detroit and St. Clair rivers, and would render more se- cure and easy the navigation of this great waterway along which so impor- tant part of the food supply of the nations is borne.
 But to raise the level of Lake Erie means to flood lands along its shores It means to flood certain Canadian lands, as we'll as Americans; and this would necessitate international ar engagement and costly compensation For this reason, as we'll as for the req son that great public enterprises all ways move slowly, the conversion of Lake Erie into a vast mill-pond will probably be deferred for a long period.
