rfiE CAMPAIGN FOR NATIONAL iRRIoaTiON,

The campaign In behalf Of the ma
tional irrigation movement is being
pushed steadily ahead under the I'M
petus given by the attntion paid to the
subject by President Roosevelt in his
message to Congress and by Secretary
Hitchcock, Of the Interior Department;
in his annual report.
The National Irrigation Association,
has for it's motto, Annex Arid Amer
iea," is sending out an illustrated article
written by it's president, Thomas F.
Walsh, upon national irrigation, and
with it extracts from the message Of
the President and the report of the
Secretary of the Interior. President
Walsh says early in his article:
There is no question before the Am
exican people the successful solution of
which promises greater rewards inc is
laden with such momentous bearings
upon the present and future Of our
country as the reclamation Of our arid
lands by irrigation.
Through the building of national res
ecvoirs and the storage of the waters
in the flooded season, a large
part Of the now unproductive
lands can be brought under the highest
form Of cultivation, thereby adding an
Immense area to the productive lands
f our country. extending from the
4emi-tropical climate Of southern Arr
soma to the boundary line of British
Columbia, and from the Missouri river
20 the PaEiic ocean. This area possesses
every variety of climate and the rich
est Of soil, which, when watered, is
capable of producing every fruit, ce-
real and plant grown or needed by man.
This vast arid territory is equal in area
to one-third of that of our entire coun-
try, n if only one-half Of it can be
brought under irrigation. what a mag
hificent new country and what new
markets it will open up and provide for
0ur people,"
Further along President Walsh says:
Looking at this subject from every
standpoint. and at the same time not

pfe's money wasted, l am fully con-
WINGED that it is the duty of Congress

trying to reach floating mattress.
From the Italian ship Teresa LoVico
several men were saved, but they are
in a frightful state, except Jean Louis
Prudent of St Pierre. Although on
deck and unprotected. he was little
burned.
Prudent says there was first an aw-
full noise of explosion, and then right
away a cyclone of smoke and fire. but
such was the poisonous, choking ma
ture of the smoke that it burned worse
than the fire. The cyclone OF gas tore
the masts out OF ships, blew others
up. and sunk some of them. Soon az
forwards came a wave of fire bigger
than the smoke cloud.
.That cloud" continued Prudent.
was bigger, it seemed, than the
mountain.
THE fire burned the city everywhere
at once. Near me l saw only dead
men. but on shore l saw men and
women rushing back and forth for an
hour. They would not run long.
Then came that checking smoke. and
they would drop like dead flies.
The explosion, smoke and nre all
came and went in three minutes. but
the city burned for three hours. Then
every house was finished and nothing
alive was left.
Some men from the sinking ships
got to the shore, but they were burned
up there.

HENRY ~. IN NINETEENTH CENTURY
y of English Monarch ELhumed
At Canterbury


In 1892 a discussion arose as to
whether Henry ". was really buried
in Canterbury cathedral, according to
tradition. The then Dean of Canter-
bury, the Hon. and Very Rev. Richard
Bagot (afterward Bishop OF Oxford,
invited my husband to be present. at
the opening of the royal tomb This
was done in the middle of night in the
presence of a few OF the cathedral au-
thorities and specially invited spec
tators.
The body of the king was found
wrapped in lead and leather. For a.
few moments after this; covering was
removed the face OF the king was re-
vealed in a state of perfect preserva-
ton as though still induced with life.
AS the spectators looked. all crumbled
away into dust, and my husband de
clared that it was a most weird and
impressive scene, which. indeed, with
the pickering torches and the solemn
surroundings of the ancient cathedral.

A portion OF the kings beard, which
was OF reddish color, Was cut on
before the tomb was closed and my
husband was given q piece OF it by his
uncle He gave this piece to- the Duke
of Northumberland OF THAT day. feel

Fog. ON Bank. OF Nswfoundrsed.

The worst place in the world for foss
is over the banks of Newfoundland.
The east coast of England is also no
torious for fog. and the same thing
is noticed in all northern seas where
the water is shallow over sandbanks.
These banks are formed because the
water which covers the banks has be-
come colder than the surrounding sea.
Consequently the atmospheric vapor
is precipitated and made visible n
such localities
Fogs are at their worst over the
Newfoundland banks because there the
warm gulf stream makes the differences
in temperature between the deep sea
and the shallow water pronounced. In
similar fashion, fogs are more frequent
in autumn than at any other time Ct
the year. because at that season the
ground is still comparatively warm.
while the air above is sold. The air
nearest the soil becomes warmed and
rises into the cold atmosphere above
when it's moisture is condensed
