gone to housekeeping what they call

They rent a room, hire a cook and all
take their meals together and thus save

An astronomer says that there was q
rare astronomical feature occurring in
February. February had no new moon.
January had two. and March will have
two moons. The astrologers claim that
the incident is due to the fact the last
year of the century is not leap year.
and that even in leap years there is q
new moon in February. excepting at
long intervals. 1t is said that a moonless
month has not occurred since February,

REVERSING NATURAL CAUSES.

/ REVERSING NATURAL CAUSES.
The Chicago drainage canal BIZ
which the waters of LIKE N1ichig an
through the Chicago river, are dis
charged into the river Desp1aines
and finally into the Illinois and Mis-
sissippi rivers. is not much of an
engineering scheme, but it is fraught
with more Importance than the mere
drainage of Chicago filth, and as
contemplated by the promoters of the
enterprise Tt opens up the POSSIBLE
tiles of ingenuity in diverting natural
causes and utilizing wastes The
drainage canal will become a national
highway for commerce, an outlet
from the lakes to the sea. The Mic
aragua canal scheme is another sub
version of natural conditions in aid
of commercial enterprise.
These things are not surprising in
view of the demand of the growth of
the commercial industry in the Unit
ed States; and they also suggest the
thought that certain natural laws can
be further overcome in aid of human
benefits and enterprise. The tenden
cy is not alone to open up and shorten
lines of commerce and facilitate trav-
ell, but to help in building up the
country and supplying needfu1 adj
vantages.
OF the many proposed engineering
schemes for practical work there may
be mentioned those of a similar char
acter to meet different results. Col.
jos. G. Baird, of Dodge City, has
proposition which viii greatly en-
nance the redemption of the alkali
wastes of the west. The Egyptians
turned the waters of the Nile over
their impoverished sands, and made
the land blossom in luxury; and De
Lessep's famous engineering scheme
turned the waters of the Mediterra-
mean sea across the Isthmus of Suez
into the Red sea, thence into the In
dian ocean, and thus aided commerce.
Col. Baird's proposition is not a new
