be disturbed by the many cares which
fall upon him as civil or military SER
want of his country. The present Mrs.
Roosevelt is the second wife of the
colonel. She was Miss Edith Kermit
Carow, and he married her in 1886.
Colonel Roosevelt has six children,
ranging in age according to the order
in which they are here named: Alice,
Theodore, Kermit, Ethel, Archibald
and Quentin.
OF OLD DUTCH STOCK.
The Roosevelts were in at the very
beginning of the original Dutch city of
Amsterdam and the family has
been politically active on Manhat-
tan Island for more than two hun
dred years. Isaac Roosevelt was one of
the New York City delegates to the
Provincial Convention which chose
delegates in 1775 to the original Con-
tinental Congress. Subsequently he
was one of the New York Committee Of
One Hundred appointed at a public
mass meeting in this city as COM
mlttee of resistance against the power
of the British government and IN aid of
the Continental Army. Afterward he
was one of the delegates to the first
Provincial Congress and member of
the Lid, Hid and WITH New York
Senates.
Theodore Roosevelt, father of the
subject of this sketch, was a man with
the same practical interest in his fellow
man that his son has shown. He was
the hacker of Charles Loring Brace in
his work Of gathering the forgotten
waits from from the city's streets. 1t
was the elder Theodore Roosevelt that
went to Washington after the first bat
tie OF Bull Run and warned President
Lincoln that he must get rid of Simon
Cameron as Secretary of War, with the
result that MIR. Stanton took his place.
When the war was fairly under way, it
was Theodore Roosevelt who organ
lied the allotment plan which saved to
the families of $4,000 soldiers of New
York State more than s., 600, 900 of their
pay; and when the war was over he
protected many of the veterans against
the sharks that lay in wait for them
and saw that they got employment

THE DATE PALM.-Among the
incidents which will accompany
the rec.aiming Of the arid lands oi
Arizona, by national system Of
irrigation, is the growth and culti-
vatIon OF the date palm OF Arabia
and the Sahara.
There have been during the past
fifteen years we'll conducted exper.
iments under the supervision Of the
government to test the question Of
date culture in Arizona and New
Mexico, with the result that in
every instance where the irrigation
system was resorted to the palms
grew and bore iruit as if they were
indigenous to the soil.
With the addition OF the date
palm to the many fruits which it
is known these semi-desert lands
will bring forth under the benign
influence ot water, the proposition
Of national irrigation takes on a
new and interesting feature.
The greatest achievement OF the
nineteenth century was the bring
ing together by means OF steam
power the different zones. The
fruits Of Florida and California are
laid down fresh at the doors OF the
people OF the North. This is what
steam has &C -omplished. The next
step will be the p reduction OF the
fruits OF the tropics OF the old
world. This is what intelligent
irrigation Of our own deserts will
accomplish. st Paul Gk05s.

will interest those whose calling
takes them into these waters to
learn that an invention is now
being investigated by the marine
authorities and naVigators at
Southend on-Sea which, if it may
not 60 a long way toward making
lighthouses obsolete and unneces-
sary, is expected to be OF much
value in the prevention OF ship
wreck from any one Of 90 per cent
Of the usual causes. This is an
automatic system Of signalling
which will warn ships OF their APP
proach to dangerous rocks and

From this aetheric waves are trans
mitted over a zone which has a
radius OF J miles. All vessels
within that area which are fitted
with receivers are warned OF their
proximity to danger, the distance
and the point Of the compass being
registered. AT the same time, a
bell rings and the receiving instru-
ment records the name OF the place
tnat is being approached. The
automatic part OF the invention
consists OF s'eel bearings with a
number OF teeth which pass over a
Morse transmitter. No operators
are needed. The instrument or
machine works absolutely auto
matically. In its elementary prin-
ciples. the system resembles Mar
coni's method Of wireless tele-
graphy, but in detail the system is
essentially different, The COM
mittee on investigation at South

dorsed the invention after submit
