RIVER TO PUMP ITS WATER

Irrigation Scheme Proposed In
Kings River Valley, California.
To make the Kings river of central
California pump its own water is the
interesting plan presented by J. r.
Lippincott, resident photographer of the
United States geological survey, who
has recently investigated the POSSIBLE
ity of an increased use of that stream
for irrigation and other purposes, says
q Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune. The Kings river val
ley is one of the richest irrigation see
tons of the west, the profits reported
from the raisin crop alone in 1900
from the section near Fresno, being
more than 100000. Nearly 100000
acres are already under cultivation and
utilize almost all the available flow of
the river, but fertile lands remain for
which there Is not sufficient water
supply. This is especially true of the
lands on the adjacent foothills of the
Sierra Nevada, where high priced cit
rus fruits can be grown to great ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Lippincott in his report shows
that the construction of reservoirs for
the impounding of flood waters on the
tributaries would be of value, and he

Interesting "Reminiscences of tho

Rev. DR.. Thomas Gallaudets death
will cause mourning around the world,

of deaf mutes are scattered who loved
the rector of st. AIMS church. in New
York, for the work he had done for
them.
DR.. Gallaudet followed in the foot
steps of his father, for whom he was
named. Like his father, he married
a deaf mute, and gave up his life for
the help of the unfortunates. Father
and son were called to the labor Of
love through the Affections of others.
Each was minister of the Protestant
Episcopal church. The elder Gallau-
Diet, when young man in Hartford,
Conn, pitied little girl, Alice Cogs-
well, the daughter Of neighbor, who
had lost her power Of speech and hear
ing through scarlet fever. He man
aged to communicate with her through
a system of signals with the fingers
1t was not long before he taught the
little girl to read.
Alices father, finding that there
were many others similarly afflicted,
interested wealthy men of Hartford in
-
a school for deaf mutes. DR.. Gallaudet
was sent abroad, where 1t was said
that the foreigners best understood the
sign language. He returned with
Laurent Clerc, pupil of Secard, and
the celebrated institution at Hartford,
the first in America, was founded
Other schools sprang up all over the
! country.
