that many people are realizing that
national action would meet such a
western development as would in
crease the national wealth beyond
measure.
The time seems fully ripe for the
west to take a firm and decided
stand on the question of national
irrigation and something great may
be accomplished at once. Why
noti 1t is as right that Congress
should appropriate money for stor-
age reservoirs as for river and har-
Dor Improvements. The building
of storage reservoirs would obviate
the necessity for much river ex-
penditure and would help naviga-
ton, and the home building area
OF the United States would be vast
ly increased. And now if the west
makes this demand the east will
back it up, for the benefit would
not be local.

Science Notes.
From Scientific American.

From Scientific American.
The supply of clans on the New
England coast is diminishing. Ex.
tensive areas which four or five
years ago produced great numbers
of clans are now practically barren
The demand has increased at such
a rate that too large a number OF
seed clans have been removed, and
extinction quickly follows and the
beds do not recover themselves.
Experiments in forestry are be.
ing carried on in California, the
idea being to determine as near as
possible the value of timber to a
watershed. The rainfall in the
lands which have been set apart for
the experiments is accurately meas.
ured, and the relative amount OF
run-off is carefully estimated. The
experiments are being conducted on
very extensive scale, SO they will
undoubtedly prove of great value.
A Chinese banknote, issued dur.
ing the Ming Dynasty, about A. d.
1890, has been placed in the British
Museum, among the specimens OF
early printing from China. The
surface of the note is black with
age, though the characters upon
the face Of it are quite discernible
This is supposed to be the earlies,
specimen extant of a bank note
issued from any country, and is
about 800 years anterior to the issue
of the first note in Europe, from
Stockholm.

The holding of the National Irri-
CATION Congress in the East, as il
turned out, was a wise move. The
people Of that half of the country
have had the subject of national ir-
rigation brought home to them in a
manner not otherwise possible. The
far-reaching importance ofthe prob.
lem has been presented to them and
a genuine interest has been awaken
cd. Instead Of finding opposition
in the east, the Congress found
that eastern men Of prominence
were more than interested in a prop.
osition which promised an increased
western population OF millions Of
people.
AS the "enemy's country" has
been invaded, the myth of eastern
opposition has faded away and ito
people are found to be anxious to
see inauguratcd national policy of
western arid land reclamation.
