The National FomelseeFer t2kes up
also the question OF proper irrigation
legislation. and discusses Mr.. New
lands plan as follows:
The statement is not gainsaid by
those who are familiar with Legislative
at Washington that Congress will take
some definite action this winter on the
irrigation question: The discussion OF
the subject last year was lengthy and
varied but it was the short session OF
Congress. and those who were oppO-
sed or were not actively favorable.
were enabled to push it aside in the
press Of other established measures
The discussions. however. developed
great strength for the question. and
the present Congress will have to meet
the issue and legislate 10. it. The plan
that is probably the most feasible for
beginning is that embodied in a bill
originally Introduced by Mr. Newlands
OF Nevada. which provides that the pro-
ceeds from ;lc sales OF public lands in

DORMANT MONEY.
Many Thousands of Dollars Awaiting
Lawful Ownership I'm the
English Courts.

A great deal of money becomes dor
mant through the carelessness or for
getfulness of the owners. When Mr.
Goschen's conversion and redemption
scheme of 1887 came into operation
the Bank of England notified $4,000
holders of consols that their per
cents were no longer 3 per cents. No
fewer than 1880 letters failed TO
reach the stockholders to whom they
were addressed; the people were
dead, and their relatives were I'M
known, says Chambers Journal. One
person who could not be found held
consols amounting to upward of
e1s7,5 and over 40 possessed C TO-
900 each; and this money awaits law
full ownership. A very singular case
Of stockholders forgetfulness led
TO a suit in chancery some years ago.
A lady who had attained the venerable
age of 90 died at Marseilles. For years
she had practically lived on money
borrowed from her relatives under the
impression that she possessed no
means of her own. Only after she
had died IL transpired that a sum of
G $4,000 was standing in her name in
the funds, and also 100000 of accumu-
lated dividends.

A SPIDERS woorNG.
The Male IL Always in Danger OF
Being Devoured by the object
of His Attentions.

Scarcely, however, had Araneina re-
turned TO continue her feast upon
the fly than still another summons
came over the telegraph system from
the outer edge of the web-a signal
different from any of the previous
ones, seemingly of timorous nature.
Araneina knew at once that IL was
from gentleman spider come n
counting, who did not dare 20 ven
ture too close until he was sure of
the mood his lady love was in, says
Parsons Magazine.
It very often happens that n male
spider who is precipitate in thrust
ing his attentions upon one of the
other sex lives just long enough TO
regret IL, for, should the lady chance
to be hungry. she would not scruple
to make her next meal upon an adj
venturous wooer. Araneina's cour-
tier evidently did not consider the
occasion propitious for love making,
for, when at his third or fourth diff
fident signal she angrily darted to-
wards him, he dropped TO the ground
and disappeared.
Araneina now ate the remainder Of
the contents of the fly. Then, fur
ther trusting up the beetle in her
larder for the next days breakfast,
she retired into the cleft of the limb
above her web for the night.

WAVES IN THE AIR.
Are Like water waves That STIR the
whole Mas. from the sarfaee
60 the Itottom.

Helmholtz showed that when a cur
rent Of air warmer, and therefore
lighter, was flowing above another cur
rent colder and denser the circum-
stances were the same as when the
wind Is blowing on a level surface
of liquid. In both cases regular waves
are produced in the denser medium,
and the waves have their cresfs perpen-
dicular to the direction of the upper
current, says a scientific exchange. A
wind that will produce water waves
one meter long will. in air currents
differing ten degrees G. in temperature,
produce waves from two Go five kilome-
tiers in length. To water waves from
FIVE TO ten meters long correspond
air waves having a length of IS 20 20
kilometers. Such waves. whose height
above the surface of the earth Is not
often greater than their length. are
like water waves that stir the whole
mass of water from Nhe surface TO
the bottom. They are very frequent,
but are not visible unless the lower
layers Of air are saturated with moist
use so that mists are formed. In such
n case parallel bands of clouds are
produced, extending over n large por-
ton of the sky. In balloon ascension
Herr Emden. Of Munich, was able TO
recognize such waves and 10 make such
measures as TO show that the mathe-
matical theory Of their formation was
completely verified.

Women are vastly more patient than
men. II is scarcely believable that a
woman. suffering past all telling, can
attend TO business, and bend and stoop
with back whose ache is agony. And
beyond all this she smiles as she bends
and stoops about her customer. A man
might swallow down an oath or keep
back groan, but his face would be like
a thundercloud, and his voice scarcely
disguise his irritation.
