a scheme to engage the United States
government in the business of reclaim
ing the great body Of arid lands be-
tween the Missouri river and the Rocky
mountains will certainly not go
through without opposition. 1t is al
ready urged that for the government to
add 7O,OO0,O00 tillable acres to the land
already in cultivation would create a
competition with the present agricul-
turists, lower the price of produce
and work untold evils. There is no
occasion for alarm. 1t will make sur
veys and measurements ami reports
and publish many tons of reading
matter about irrigation and the water
supply from the heavens above and the
earth beneath and the reservoirs un-
der the earth, but the United States
will never directly and by its own
means make any present desert TO
bloom as the rose Yet, without the
aid Of the federal government or any
other government great proportion
Of the 100000 acres will, in the
course of a century or So be trans
formed, because man is impelled to
that sort of work by what seems a
strange fascination. He is seldom sat-
isfed with the fertile and productive
acres which are already his. He wishes
to reclaim or restore something. The
swamp that may be productive by the
use Of its own weight in fertilizers; the
sandy plateau that may be enriched by
plowing under green and growing veg
etation-these visions will not let the
agricultural conquerer sleep. This in
domitable and aggressive American
character, not the government of the
United States, will settle the arid land
question. The word has gone out that
these lands possess all the natural ele-
ments of fertility, and all they lack is
water, and the reply has come back
that they shall have the one thing
needful. While the government has
been surveying and reporting and pub
fishing pamphlets on the various sys-
TENS of irrigation employed in the
lower Nile and upper Congo and the
citizens have been divided into two
camps, one abusing the government for
not irrigating and the other for think
ing Of engaging in irrigation next, the
practical part Of the business has been
begun by individuals and private cor
porations. Hundreds and thousands Of
miles Of bitches have been constructed
in California without any government
aid, and the Mormons have saved, by
work and water, countless acres that
before would not have supported the
family OF a katydid. The American is
not like the ancient Egyptian OF mod
ern Mexican, natural born irrigator.
He has not been brought up to the
business, but If it must be done and It
pays. and as there are only 70000,000
acres to be attended to, he will look
after 1t, and the government can help
or let it alone.-Kansas City Star.

The time is come when It may be
asked whether we, as a manufacturing
nation, have lost all sense Of the In
itiative that formerly distinguished us
beyond the other nations Of the world!
A broad survey Of the existing indus
trial field reveals a prospect not very
flattering to the pride of an English
man. We, the sea power, now look to
Germany for records Of sea speeds.
From the birthplace of mechanical 10
eomotion we must go to France and
the United States for examples OF rail
way speeds and efficiency. In cleo
tricity we are mere humble imitators,
since scarcely any important modern
development in this all-pervading in
dustry bears an English name. We
are, it is true, making some feeble ef-
forts to keep up with our neighbors in
the great coming manufacturing indus
ry-electro-chemics- he who
seeks for guidance in this practically
unexplored field must go TO Nurem-
berg or Pittsburg to find it. We are
still predominant in the cotton indus
try, but 1t is simply question OF time
when this industry will forsake as for
its natural seattle Southern states Of
America and the Indian cotton fields.
Are we, then, in danger OF degenerate
ing into a nation of brokers. depending
for our commercial existence on the
capital left US by the exertions Of our
Standardization Express.

British and continental customers of

much to have their American pur-
chases kept secret, will find little con-
ISOLATION in the annual report of our
export trade. He predicts that the Of

the United States for 1900 will exceed
those of 1899 by about 5000 ,OOO, 900, and
that the total value of our exports for
the present year will be not less than
$1,000 100000. Furthermore, he adds,
experts now figure for 1900 an appar-
ent trade balance of about $3.50, 900 ,O0G

thickly round her shoulders.

mother had always called her. Mollie
knew better than to move or disturb
the child, but from that moment she
was never my half-sister Kate again,
but the little sister her mother had
left to her. to be guarded and shielded
by every means in her power. to be
loved and taught all that Mollie,
humble in her strength. could teach
her, that together they might struggle
along that narrow path which leads TO

They had moved into the Craving
room, and Mollie, white with wrath
and dismay, crept quietly to the bed,
and stood looking at the sleeping
child. Poor little girl, Her whole
life she had been made the center for
the evil passions of others. and now a
fresh danger threatened her. Touch

heart, as she gently brushed the fair
curls from the small thin face

marry Henri. And she would die
rather; for the child was madame's
largest source of income. and would
be cared for accordingly.
But as she sat in the garden the fol-

How could these people be so wicked.

She and Kate were very fond of this
part of the garden. They spent all the
hot afternoons there. and madame
and Henri were out today. so it was
very peaceful.
Suddenly a bird in the bushes sang
few notes. then a very clear whistle
followed; but it came from no bird S

The Parasite of Elepha tiasis.

BY Reuter- telegram it is learned
that the second malarial expedition of
the Liverpool School of Tropical Medi-
cine has wired home from Bombay. in
Nigeria, the important discovery that
the parasite that causes epephantiasis
has been found, like that which causes
malaria, in the proboscis of the mos
quito. 1t has long been known that
the small worm which produced this
disease OF hideous deformity by taking
up its abode in the Emphatic vessels
of the human subject can also live in
the mosquito, but it's discovery in the
probOscis of the insect shows that the
bites Of these pests are responsible for
the human aff1iction. The disease is
very prevalent among the natives of
tropical countries and sometimes at
lacks the European residents. 1t is an
interesting fact that this discovery has
been announced almost simultane-
ously with chat from Bombay by DR..
Low in England, who found the para
site in mosquitoes brought from Aus
tralia. and by Capt. James as result
