Paris, Nov. 11.-Those who follow the
capriciousness Of fashions vagaries will
lind the newest of sartorial suggestions

has Just completed for Jane Hading.
The well-known specialist in dress
shows q tendency to the long sweeping
skirts. those closely shaping to the
figure in the upper part and widening
out in graceful folds round the base.
They give that symmetry and line neces-
sary to captivate attention and embel-
lish the figure, an item carefully studied
at the present moment. One especially
pretty Empire robe Il made Of pleated
black crepe de Chine. A short bolero,
shaped over q corsage Of black silk pas
sementerie, is finished Oh by long cords
and tassels which fall Amost to the
hem Of the pleated skirt; an openworked
lattice arrangement Of the passemen-
terie composes transparent sleeves,
reaching to the wrist. Another toilet is
made Of cream cloth, trimmed with
gufpure Orlando and ornamented with
fine sables. Other Of Nine. Hading's
creations are symphonies Of color, but

Irrigation in Russia.

National irrigation is being pushed in Russia. The Govern ment contemplates undertaking large irrigation works i'll western Siberia. Tn the districts of Tomsk and Omsk alone no less than 833 artesian wells have been bored during the last four years at a cost of $3OO,OO0. Further more, there have been construct ed in the Government of Tomsk,
 in "A different districts, altogeth- CT 276 miles of canals, while 05 miles of river beds have been cleaned of mud, thus retaining thru irrigation large areas ot country. In most foreign coun- tries national irrigation is an accomplished fact; but nowhere
 in the world are it's possibilities so great as in theUnited States.
The St. Johns herald., 1901-02-23

A great many people living i'll the region of abundant rainfall are learning considerable this winter about Western irrigation. A New England editor of daily paper recently manifested much interest in some artesian well boring being made in the West, and remark in his columns that the result of sHch experiments would be watched with great in- terest since if artesian water could be secured and used for ir- rigation in the desert, it would mean a great Western devlop- ment. He has learned since that thousands and thousands of acres were, at the time of his writing, under irrigation from such a source.
 A Congressman, an ex-Judge of large experience, was aston ish to find that in the arid States a man must put the water which runs thru his to place some bene- ficia1 use in order to successfully

Thinks His Daughter
 Has Been Murdered.

at 5:30 o'clock by dull thud, as if someone had fallen to the floor They investigated the cause of the noise and found Miss Bassett. Her skull was found to have been fractured, her chin broken and several teeth knocked out and be- sides these injuries the body was terribly bruised.
 The father maintains that in- juries of that nature could not have been inflicted thru fall and insists that his datghter has in all probability been murdered. The statement of Miss Bassett's father has aroused the citizens of this city who cannot believe that such brutal murder could have taken place in the city without having been discovered before this. .-Ex.

Solar MOtOr. How it looks.

The unique feature of the Solar Motor is that 1t uses the heat of sun to produce steam. As no fuer is cheaper than any fuel, the saving to be effected by this device is evident.
 When the solar rays have heated the water in the boiler so as to produce steam, the remaind- CT of the process is the familiar operation of compound engine and centrifugal pump.
 ''The reflector somewhat re- sembles a huge umbrella, open and inverted at such an angle as to receive the full effect of the suns rays on 178S little mirrors lining it's in side surface. The boiler which is 13 feet, 6 inches long, is just where the handle of the umbrella ought to be. This boiler is the focal point where the reflection from the sun is concentrated. If you reach a long pole up to the boiler 1t 1r1- stant1y begins to smoke ond Ill a few seconds is aflame. From the boiler a flexible metallic pipe runs to the engine-house near at hand. The reflector is B feet, 6 inches in diameter at the top and Is feet at the bottom. On the whole, its appearance is rather stately and graceful, and the g1ittering mirriors and shining boiler make it decidly brilliant. !"

The Saving of Egypt.

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock strongly supported the policy of Federal irrig ation, in his official report to the House Committee. MT. Hitchcock said plainly that a vast acreage, cap able of supporting population of fifty million people, should not be left desert. Incidentally he pointed out the remarkable results achieved in the valley ot the Nile thru irrigation, practic- ally redeeming Egypt from bank ruptcy.
The St. Johns herald., 1901-02-23

Anyone doubting the promi- nance to which the national ir- rigation movement has attained, should visit the National Capitol these days and note the amount of irrigation talk and discussion there, Tn and about Congress. The air is full of irrigation It has already come strongly to the front in both House and Senate and committees, and eastern Con- gressmen are learning things about the subject of arid land reclamation and the resulting benefits and possibilities, of which they had never before dreamed.
 The other week the irrigation committee and the public lands committee of the House held four different meetings and dis cussed irrigation, with full at- tendance.
 The greatness of the problem is becoming understood.
 The fact is coming to be recog- nized by may broad-minded Eastern men that this is a large national question which in it's application would be as broadly beneficial as any subject asking for legislation.
 The Western men in Congress are feeling very much encourag- ed. They see that at last irri- gation is coming to be under stood. Many of the older mem- bers of the House and Senate who have talked the subject for the last ten years until their locks have grown white, their words and appeals always falling upon deaf ears, have taken new inter est and feel that finally the sub- iect is getting an intelligent hearing.
 This is the case iii fact. Great interests are working for the in auguration of a national irriga- tion policy, and they will con- tinue working and increasing in their efforts until provisions are made for carrying out such policy.
 This is perfectly clear and ap- parent to anyone who sees things as they are here in the East.
 The West has never before been so insistent and united 1r1 its demands that the Federal Government shall build the great storage reservoirs necessay to the arid land reclamation. but the great East has now come to it's support and is anxious to have the proposition given a fair trial.

GREATER MINING ACTIVITY
THAN EVER BEFORE IN STATE
State Geologist Holmes Talks Of the Copper,
Corundum and Mica Mining.

Prof. ]. A. Holmes, the State Geolo-
sist, who was in the city yesterday, re-
ports that mining in all directions II
more active than ever before in the
history of the State
Activity is most pronounced in corunl-
dunn. copper and mica mining. All three
or these products, Prof. Holmes reports,
are being mined on a very extensive
scale.
Perhaps the copper mines in the
state are attracting most attention.
These are in Ashe, Rowan, Person and
Granville counties. While in the city
yesterday Prof. Holmes received speci-
mems of copper ore from a new mine
in Granville county, near the Virginia
line. 1t is known as the High Hill
mine, Which was recently sold by Major
w. A. Graham and others to North
ern syndicate. The ore, Prof Holmes
says, is equal to that found in the Blue
Wing mines. The ore was brought to
the city by Mr.. Henry f. Knox. Jr. He
stated that the new company is work.
ing a twelve-foot vein and. that al
ready 100000 worth of copper had been
mined on the ground.
Mr.. Esustis, of Boston, the owner of
the Holloway mine in Granville. has
located smelter in Norfolk, Va. There
the copper ore from the Granville and
Person county mines is smelted. The
copper mining industry in those two
counties has grown to be of much inn
portance. Prof. Holmes brought infor-
nation that the Ore Knob Copper mines
in Ashe county are also being operated
again.
The mica mines in the State have
more than doubled their output with
in year Prof. Holmes said and the
prospects are that there will be large
increase in the yield of the mines this
year. Corundum is being mined ex
tensively in Clay, Haywood and Tran
sylvania counties. A number of COM
panies are engaged in those counties
in mining corundum.
