 Shortly after sending the irrigation bill to the president, congress passed a resolution authorizing the diretor of the census to compile statistics relating to irrigation for the crop year of 1902. With the data now Assembled. this work will be comparatively simple, most of it being done by correspon- dence. To secure this information inquiries will soon be sent out to iiri- gators throughout the United States. The cooperation of those interested in irrigation is earnestly solicited for upon their prompt response will de- pend very largely the value of these statistics. This is in part supple- mentary work, the results of which will be utilized in the work soon to be undertaken by the department of the interior under the provisions of the irrigation bill.

Why We Shake Hands.

To shake hands with person Is rightly regarded as n token of amity. but very few know how this custom arose.
 According to a French ethnologist, whenever two men met in former times they were accustomed to hold up their right hands in front of them as sign that they had no intention of attack ing each other. This mark of confi- dence, however. did not prove sufficient in all cases. for man may hold up his right hand and yet, if he keeps it closed. may have a weapon concealed in it, and therefore 1t became the cus- tom for the two right hands to grasp each other, as only thus could full as- surance be given that no weapon was concealed in either of them. Formerly. therefore. this gesture, now the token of loyalty and friendship, was one Of reciprocal distrust-New York Herald.

He was interrupted by q gray bearded old man in the group. "A mere bucketful-a mere bucketful" the old fellow piped. Don't waste so much time talking of small affair like that"
 The Johnstown man resented this and hunted up St. Peter. of whom he asked, "Who is that old codger who seems to think our flood such a triflilg matter"

Work of Irrigation

The progress in agriculture in the arid states and territories during the decade ending with 1899 is shown in the report just published by the division of agriculture of the twelfth census. As this progress is attributed largely to irrigation, the statistics relating thereto are of general interest.
 The number of irrigators in the United States in 1899, not including irrigators of rice, was 0S,2lS, an in- crease in ten years of 99.9 per cent. The area irrigated was 7.539, ,545 acres an increase of 1O7.6 per cent. Of this area 5,944, 4l2 acres were in hops, and l 1895, l33 acres in pasture and unma- tured crops. The cost of irrigation systems in operation, exclusive of those on rice plantations, was $6,770,94 while the value of the irrigated crops was $S6, ,S69, 49l.
 The total length of the main ditches in the arid and semi-arid states and territories was A !, l49 miles.
 The average number of irrigated acres in farms in arid states and ter ritories was 1,OO0,000; the average value of irrigated land per acre, $42 .53; ; the average value of crops produced on irrigated land, $14.Sl; the average first cost of water. $.S0; the average annual cost of maintenance, $.3S. Of the 51l ,965 acres in crops, hay and forage occupied 3,665, ,654, or 64.2 per cent; cereals, 1899, ,009 or 24.5 per cent; vegetables, 16S, ,432. or 2.9 per cent; orchard fruits, 25l ,2S9, or A per cent; other crops, 266,SSl, or 40 per cent. The value of the hay and forage was $34, 1884 ,966 cereals, $l4, 33S, 326 vegetables, ,$9. .627 ,491 ;orch- ard fruits. $3, ,920, ,409; other crops, in- cluding sub-tropial fruits, grapes, flowers, plants, sugar beets, etc., $16, TIP, ,246.
 In California the number of irriga- tors increased from 13.732 in 1889 to 25, 675 in 1S99 or S7. per cent, and the number of acres irrigated from 1,004, ,233 to l ,446, 114, or 44.0 per cent. The average value ot farm land per acre was $21.S7, of irrigated land, sS9.19. The ditches in operation for irrigation purposes in 1899 had length of 5,l06 miles, cost $12, ,S55.- 012.

The dispatch of Consul Gottschalk is interpreted as confr matory of that of Dr. Wilson's brother in an Ohio dis patch to the effect that his brother has not been under arrest.
 The interior department has issued an order opening to entry lands about the Imperial reservation, which were withdrawn few weeks ago. The order withdrawing them was issued in con sequence of the passage of the law for resurvey. By certain rep resentations made to the commissioner of lands he was led to believe that it would be better to withdraw the lands from homestead entry until the new survey had removed all ambiguity as to the proper metes and bounds and landmarks, but fuller investigation and interpretation of the new law con vinced the secretary of the interior that no harm would be done by per- mitting the entry. The act specifically declares that it shall not have the effect of disturbing any titles or dis possessing any owners of lands which they have taken up under improper description. This has been interpreted to include future entry, hence the revocation of the closing order.
