 Scientists were led to this belief that the cataraCts were not the works Of nature. from the fact that they were nearly equtdistant from each other along the course of the river.

And. whether the story of Plato of the lost Atlantis and it's peo- pie are true or not. we are sure that long prior to the time that Plato wrote. these stupendous feats had been accomplished and were not then considered beyond the possibility of human engineering and skill.
 Other Nations used Irrigation.
 will briefly mention a few of the other early nations which were ac. qualnted with the results of the ap. plIcation of water by artificial means for the purposes of irrigating lands.
 To Egypt. as has been seen. Is attributed the first knowledge and practice of the art of irrigation; and 1t Is claimed b. some authorities that the annual overflow of the river Nile gave the first inspiration and taught the value of irrigation to peO. pie. If this is true. 1t is more than probable that Egypt, in her turn taught the art to the people of Assy. ria. Babylonia. Carthage. to the Phoe. nlclans and to the early inhabitants of Italy At any rate. at a later day than we know the art was practiced ln Egypt. we find records of these

nations having knowledge of and practlclng irrigation very extensively X great many of the ancient writers of these countries speak of the canals and acqucducts.
 Cato among the Romans. speaks of the formation and management of watcred gardens.
 The Lombard kings. at a still later date. undoubtedly fomowcd the Roman practice and encouraged and ex. tended the art tn Italy.
 From Lombardy the art extended to France. and the Moors encouraged it in Spain. Sicily and Algeria
 The early history of Persia and China also shows that these nations were acquainted with the art at very early date.

 Age That irrigation is very an cient art and that it was prac,icsd by the former nations of tho earth upon a most magnificent scale. there can be no possible doubt Historians and other writers dircr considerably as to when the art vas first prac,iced. Some writers have placed iIs first To- cality in China. some in India and some In Armenia. others have placed the first inception of the art among the ancient nations along the shores of the Mediterranean. others with the Incas of Peru. and still others with the Nahua nations which include the Tol' tees ani A-iccs in Central America Mexico and Arizona.
 But. owing to the numerous Eionu- mental AE.gts sg rcophasae poisher,.s and papyrus rolls which have been discovered and translated. modern re- search has been enabled to carry the clear and consecutive history oi Egypt fasthr hack than that Q: any ether country: and therefore Egypt is gen erally considered the birthplace ot IT. riEatinn. But the exact date has never been fixed upon And so long as the leading Psychologists disagree upon the question of dates among them selves. sometimes by more than a thousand years. it Is vain 10 expect that we can fix the date Of regulated irrigation But we may be sure that al least two thousand years before Christ the art was yery extensively praciiced in Egypt. where by great systems of canals and artificial lakes formed for the purpose. vast tracts of land which. from the physical features of the country. otherwise must have remained barren from drought. were made fertile and 10 produce crops sufh, cfent no1 only 70 support the large population of that country. but also to largely assist in supporting the popu- lafion Of the then civilized world
 Ancient Civilization n Egypt
 In tracing back the history Qf many ancient nations. VIZ find that at the very earliest date to which historians have been able to trace them. their arts and industrial pursuits were as perfect and elaborate as al the later periods: and almost inestimably higher than the civilization of the de generate native races Of people who roam over these same lands today.
 This is especially true of the native civilization of Egypt In Egypt the public works of irrigation. which have been decided 10 be the earliest. are on a much greater scale and more perfect in details than the later ones: and as compared with those of today may be truly called with it's ancient ciyillza- tion and literature. one of the lost arts of that country.
 Nile catarsets were Artificial.
 From ancient writings that have re- gently been discovered and from the recent examinations of the condition of the Nile above Cairo by scientists and explorers. the conclusion has been reached by many that the six cata. racis from Ossouan 10 near KhartOum ia the river Nile. were not. as has haen sunuoseA for ages the work of

In India the art was also practiced tn very early days. and continues to be practlced to the present day; and the mighty canals and acqueducts of that country are among tne wonders of the world. In fact. tn all of those hot, dry and arid countries of the old world. irrigation has been practlced from almost the earliest periods. and We find today it Is In operation but in some cases not so extensively as it was practiced by the ancient in- habitants of the country

ln fact. those who believe in the

 South America Irrigated B. C.
 In South America the artificial watering of the earth to increase It's fruiifulness Is Of so remote an origin that its history Is quite unknown. At period probably antedating the Christian era. the inhabitants of that country understood a scientific sys. tenn of using the waters of natural streams and lakes for the purpose of irrigating their crops.
 But the art of irrigation was lost in South America. as We are to judge by a comparison of the irrigation works of today in that country. with those of the past ages.
 Philologists and archaeologists claim that no conceivable simple case of deterioration of an ancient race could have taken place that would have affected such change.
 Change to an Inferior Race.
 They think that the original Inhab- itants are in no sense descendants of the former occupants of the land. but rather that they represent later migration. probably from an entirely different country The study of the works of irri ;ation would confirm this theory. It seems impossible that the inhabitants of Peru and Bolivia. pTacticing irrigation as they do today. in the crudest conceivable manner. could have sprung from n race that at one time were masters of the art.
 Probably the first inhabitants came from the old world. and had lived sufficiently long in an irrigated country to be perfectly familiar with the art. For certain we are that acqueducts. canals and reser- voirs were constructed on an i'm mense scale and in such an enduring manner that they have dehed the changes of unnumbered centuries. When they were built is not known; b. whom they were built cannot be definitely ascertained But certain we are that there remains proof that the people who planned and main.

CONCERNING CHICAGO BANKS

In the past five years the deposits of
, the national banks of Chicago have in
creased 65 per cent, and the capital but
80 per cent.
Banking capital is not growing, az q
rule, in the same ratio as deposits.
This means that the banks are becom-
ing larger, in an individual sense, and
their expansion comes from merger
with other institutions in a great many
cases.
Since January the following banks
have been organized: Drovers' Trust
and Savings. Live Stock savings, Chi.
cago savings. Federal Loan and Trust
company, Colonial Trust and Savings.
and only the other day a charter was
granted to the Northwestern Loan and
Trust company.
In the past seven years 10 national
banks have gone out of business. and
only one has been organized, the num-
Der having been reduced from rs to
IL. In the same period the state banks
have been less disturbed. Eight have
retired, and with the new ones formed
and in process of formation seven have
been started.

a note of the witnesses offered by the
prosecution in the case of the Political

is being tried upon the charge that lie is
no Democrat and is morally unfit for the
position to which he aspires. 1t is a set

Scottish Chief.
Judge Walter Clark, of tho Supreme
Court of North Carolina. has been Wig
orously attacked by a few sore heads,
hrindle tails, Independent railroad bosses
and discharged incompetent office hold
erS, who have not voted the Democratic
ticket for the past six years. Their
chief object is to prejudice the minds
of the Democratic party in North Caro-
lima against this able, gardian of the
peoples rights, prevent his nomination
and election to the Chief Justiceship, and
thus get rid of a strong factor in pre-
venting railroad trust, combines, and the
money powers, from controlling the
State. They are simply aggrieved be-
cause Judge Clark is a strong advocate
of taxing railroads according to their
true value, and making the "Natobs"
ray their right full proportion of the
burdens of taxation, alike with the far
mer, mechanic and thousands OF toiling
Iahorers of the State.

ty consideration. If Judge Clark is guilty
of the charges, the party has suffered
enough at his hands already and insult
should not be added to injury to an out
ragged people by placing such a man on
the highest seat of our Supreme court.
Under such circumstances, any Democrat
who would support him has no regard
for questions moral and is neither loyal
to party nor State.
We have been openly opposed to Judge
Clark from the beginning. His charac-
ter is emblazoned on scores of his pub
lie acts, and while, he has-done much
good along certain lines, the NJ Hyde
in his nature has overridden the good.
and the man at last shines forth in his
true light. 'Tis sad, but true.
If nominated, he can not be elected,
and the Democratic party can not afford
to jeopardize its tick by having his
name on it.
