Cne hundred topographic map Sheets which

The surveys are made with great care and
the resulting maps are models of the car

accomplish this, lines are drawn through
points of equal elevation at regular inter
walls of 10, 20, 80 or 100 feet, according as

and from these lines, known as contours"
it Is possible, by noting whether they lie
near together or distant on the map, to
clearly read the shapes and slopes of the
hills, the extent of the valleys. and their
attitudes above level. This feature
greatly adds to their value for engineers.

For the convenience of those desiring de-

HOLMES A CONSERVATIVE MAN.
New Judge Not Likely to Force Per-
Sonal Views

A special to the New York World from
Boston says. Those who best know Judge
Oliver Wendell Holmes and who are most
familiar with his course as a judge here,
are of the opinion that President Roosevelt
acted with full knowledge of the man in
the United States. BY those who have but
a cursory knowledge of Judge Holmes and
his process of arriving at conclusions and
forming opinions, the fear has been ex-
pressed that as an "anti-imper,alist" he
might, by his vote in the Supreme Court
nullify much that has been done by that
body concerning the administrati tion's Phil
ippine policy.
1t has also been predicted that Judge
Holmes, holding radical opinions on ques-
tions of federal taxation, the rights of
combined labor as opposed TO combined
capital, and other matters Of grave public
importance might, In a closely divided
court. cast his vote in way to unset
established conditions and so tend to de-
moraiize business and the country gener-
ally. No such fears are entertained by
those who know Judge Holmes closely
That he has strong and radical opinions on
all these and kindred subjects they do not
deny, but they assert he is above all else a
conservative man. slow to overrule a pre-
cedent, and possessed of profound respect
for the established order of things He is
an antf-imperialist in the broad sense of
the term, but he believes in the right of

AN INTERESTING REGION.
Study of Ancient Rock Areas in New
JerSev


The announcement is made that during
the present season Prof J. E. Wolff of the
United States geological survey will con-
tinue the investigation of the areaI and
structural geology in the crystalline areas
of New Jersey in cooperation with the
state geologist.
These areas coincide with the pictur-
esque mountain region of northern New
Jersey, forming belt 10 to 20 miles in
breadth, which extends diagonaIIy across
the state. They also enter New York and
are crossed by the Hudson river at West
Point. In New Jersey Lake Hopatcong
Greenwood lake-which is partly in New
York as Well-and other well-known local
resorts are found among them.
The area is of considerable economic
value by reason of it's extensive deposits of
iron ore. which at Franklin, Hibernia and
elsewhere are now being worked. During
revolutionary times it was the source of
most of the ordnance and ammunition used
by the continental troops
To the geoiogist the region is of great in
terest and Importance and presents many
complicated problems, which at times have
batf1ed even the experts. 1t is composed
of rocks intensely folded, -crystallized and
metamorphosed, whose age, though known
undetermined. From the work already
done in the region indications point to the
conclusion that much of the rock here ex-
posed belongs to Archean time, in which
case it would be clasSed with similar areas
in Canada and limited sections in the
United States as that part of the continent
which is of the greatest antiquity.

AN IRRIGATION PROBLEM.
Necessity for Storage Reservoirs in
the West

A significant indication of the agricultural
progress of the west is the growth of pub
lie opinion toward the fullest possible use
of the streams for irrigation, and especially
toward the conservation of the winter and
spring flood waters which now run to
waste. recent report received by the
United States geological survey, in its
study of the countrys water resources,
from Mr. A. l.. Fellows resident hydrog-
rapher of the survey for the state of Col
orado, throws interesting light upon the
water situation now existing in that state
The urgent necessity for storage of water
says Mr.. Fellows, was never more fully
demonstrated than by the great scarcity of
water in Colorado during the present irri-
cation sea son. The gaugings of the stream
by the United States geological survey
show lower stages than have ever been
known before at the same season, and the
fact that a winter flow of conSidera BILE mag
nitude, although less than the normal
might have been stored If reservoirs had
been available, and the further fact that a
number of floods of short dura tion, result
ing from violent rain storms, were left un-
utilized, have opened the eyes of irrigators
never before to the necessity for storage
Although the shortage has been most mark
ed upon the eastern slope of the Rockies
the same is true to less extent upon the
western slope. Whereas in the eastern
streams there has been pra ctically no high
stage, water being taken in the irrigation
bitches before any high stage could be OBJ
served in the streams, on the western
slopes the streams. while reaching a stage
of considerable run off, have nevertheless
attained their maxima at early periods and
have subsided quickly, so that low-water
stages have come from one to two months
earlier than usual.
These facts. taken in connection with the
prevalent high charges for water and the
increasing value of land susceptible of irri-
cation, have resulted In filings being made
upon great many reservoir sites through
out the state.

TROUBLE IN CLOSING SCHOOLS.
French Troops Called on to Assist
Commissaries

A dispatch from Brest, France yester-
day says: The expulsion of the sisters at
Conearneau was undertaken today. Scouts
on automobiles reached the town at 9
o'clock in the morning from Quimper and
reported that troops were on the way
The tocsln was rung. bugles were blown
and boys ran through sthe~streets ringing
hand bells. Large crowds gathered around
the RAILROAD station and around the school
Several bodies of gendarmes and two COM
panies of infantry arrived by special
train The commtssary ordered the school
evacuated, a which the crowd shouted
Long live the sisters The geudarmes
advanced toward the school, but they were
repulsed and a general scrimnage fol-
lowed. Later the troops reached the build
ing and the police tried to break down the
doorway with axes, but the resistance of
the people continued.
The cOmmissary finally forced an en-
trance to the school q Concarneau When
this had been accomplished the sisters
amid the vehement protests of the crowd
left the building.
Entrance to the school in the village of
Benzec was also forced. Here the sisters
when they emerged from the school build
ing, were conducted to the church by the
mayor and a procession of people, headed
by the national flag draped in crepe.

A dispatch from Pierre, S. D., says: The

The purposes Of the corporation are to

stock and all kinds of produce on commits

to build and equip grain elevators, ware
houses, cold storage plants. stockyards and
whatever may be necessary TO carry on the
business of the corporation.
One-fourth of the capital stock win be
used for building the elevators. yards and
branch offices, and another fourth viii be
made a cash fund for dealing in grain and
provisions on the board of trade. The re-
naming half Of the capital stock will be
left, virtually. with the farmers in various
banks where the money has been raised to
enable them to hold their crops for a more

and expects to. obtain 100000 sacks of
sugar from his next crop. Another planter
is said also to have increased his sugar ma
chinery and to be hopeful of securing 1900
sacks of sugar next season.
According to the article, Senor Mena has
likewise rebuilt his sugar estates, bought
new machinery, and hopes to make 100000
sacks of sugar from his next crop. 1t is
pointed out by La Discussion that state
ments like the foregoing do not bear out
the assertion that without the aid of a
loan of 100000 there will be no sugar
crop next year.

Gladstone's Prophecy About America

a notable Gladstone utterance which we

of the menace which. in the prospective
development of her resources, America
offers to the commercial pre-eminence of
England" the grand old man predicted
that America. and America alone, can
and probably viii, wrest from us that COM
mercial primacy. We have no title, | have
no inclination, to murmur at the prospect
II she acquires it, she will make the acuui-
sttien by the right of the strongest: but in
thiS instance, the strongest means the best
She Will probably become what we are
now. the head servant in the great house
hold OF the world. the employer of all en-
ployed; because her service will be the
