THE GREAT GANGEs CANAL

During its course, the Ganges Irriga-
tion Canal for long stretch flows
nearly parallel with the foot of the hills
aud has to cross all the streams, tor
rents and drainages which flow from
them. Vast aqueducts have been con-
structed to carry these bodies of water
one over the other. In one place the
Ramipore torrent is carried across the
canal by masonry work 1876 feet wide
and fourteen feet deep. Lower down
the Puttri torrent is carried across by
masonry passage 296 feet wide. The
Puttri torrent has catchment basin OF
eighty square miles aud both of these
torrents are subject to floods of great
violence.
In still another instance the canal en-
counters the PutmOo torrent which has
catchment basin of 125 square miles.
This torrent is boldly admitted into the
canal itself over a masonry inlet, and
passes out over a masonry dam 600 feet
in width and Immediately opposite the
inlet.
Once again when the Solani is met the
entire canal is taken over this large
stream by an aqueduct. The Solani
has discharge in floods of about 35, 600
cubic feet per second and the aqueduct
which carries the Ganges canal across
the river has length OF nearly three
miles. The bed of the canal is raised
considerably above the surrounding
country, in one place a. high as twenty
four feet.

UTILIZING WASTE MATTER
How Concentrated Fertility

THE GREAT GANGES CANAL AND IFS COURSE
Irrigation As Practiced By the British
Government and the Great
Canals of Masonry.

Millions OF dollars of waste occur
every year in the cities of the United
States; enough, it has been statta, to
sustain ten million people. The waste
in a single large city, New York for in
stance, is enormous, the annual value of
her sewage aud manure alone being
millions. New York's and Chicago's
vast sewage is carried out to sea, and
Chicsgoans think they have achieved a
great engineering triumph whereby
their hundreds of thousands of tons of
concentrated fertility is swept into the
Mississippi and finally to the Gulf of
Mexico. In this connection it is inter-
esting to note that some, communities
are utilizing their waste in enriching
adjacent lands. Paris is making vast
experiment with its sewage for irrigat-
ing farm lands upon which can be
grown wonderful yields. A dispatch
from Walla Walla, Washington, states
that a fruit company owning large
OlCHdiu uSui uuC Si"y hoS NOuVi uSoVu W
take the entire city sewage for term
of thirty-fve years without cost to the
city. Here is mutual cooperation, the
fruit men want water for irrigation
purposes and the city had task of no
small proportions in getting rid of this
surplus water. The company owns a
large orchard just below Walla Walla
and the trees require irrigation to bring
the best results. For years the COM
pany has been endeavoring to solve the
problem: now it is believed the irri-
gated property will be one of the best
paying investments in the State.

Although the idea of Street Fair is
not new, this will be the first one given

THE MIDWAY ATTRACTIONS.
One Of the greatest attractions of this
big event will undoubtedly be the Mid
way. This, it is intended, shall run
through Capitol Park, opposite Thir-
teenth street, from L to N streets. b.
ing thus located in the center OF the en-
tire exposition, and all cross streets be-
ing for the week closed, visitors, to
reach the Midway, will be compelled to
pass the booths of exhibitors. While it
is impossible at this early date to give
the exact nature OF the different Mid
way attractions, the following are few
of the features that it is expected will
Turkish and Arab gun spinners, sword
fighters and acrobats in games and
sports OF the Oriental races; a German
village with Tyrolean singers, ETC.: a
japanese theatre; a Filipino theatre; an
Oriental theatre; a trained wild animal
show; Indian village and Wild West
show; dog and cat show; a congress

ters. On the closing day of the Fair a
Fantastic Mardi Gras Carnival Parade
will be given, to be followed at night by
gala masquerade ball. Other parades
for each day will also be arranged later.
The free street entertainments each
day will consist of tight rope walking,
speciality acts, singing fancy dancing,
band concerts. etc.

Park have a very fine edi6ce, one
of which they may be justly proud.
1t required a great deal of work
and only by much persistence was it
accomplished.
To Rev. F. c. Taylor perhaps more
than all Others is the greatest credit
due for successfully bringing this
about. He has long realized the
need of a new and modern place of
worship and by his untiring efforts
aided by a corps of willing workers,
chiefest among them being H. M.
Mcfarland, was the result brought
about. The church is a handsome
one, inside and out, well arranged
and conveniently located at the or
ner of Main Street and Prospect
Avenue. It's architect was G. H.
Guernsey of Montpelier and the
plans as made by him have in the
main been carried out. The church
is not only of benefit to the church
going people, but an ornament to
the village of Hyde Park.

cussion is being made asto the choice
of his successor by the legislature
this fall. At first public sentiment
seemed to centre upon Walter E.

A little later the name of b l.. Tenn
pie of Rutland was mentioned 10 CON-
plimentary terms in various quarters
apparently out of friendship for a
man of excellent personality. But
the tide seems to be set toward Mr..
Ranger, on account of manifestly
strong qualifications derived from
natural endowments, a vigorous and
scholarly mind nd thorough famil
iarity with educational conditions OF
the State in both city and rural
schools. Still in the prime of man

experience as a successful educator,
and has long been regarded as one of
