vt is said to be possible to irrigate
large portion of the great desert
of Sahara by making openings for
the Mediterranean sea and flooding the
vast acreage; but by retaining control
over the waters so that the desert shall
not become an additional sea. All
things are apparently possible to mod
ern civil engineering and some of us
may live to see the desert blossom a.
the rose.
When the fathers and mothers of to-
day were school children they studied
biographies which showed upon their
maps of the country west of Omaha
and Kansas City, a vast territory then
unknown and denominated "The
Great American Desert" That was
only 35 or 40 years ago. Just think OF
what an immense empire has been de-
veloped in that short space of time.
Ever since the railroads penetrated
the wilds and vastnesses and stretched
their arms to the golden gate our peo-
pie have been approaching the problem
of reclaiming "The Great American
Desert" by irrigating its arid millions
of acres SO that happy homes may
there be built of peoples comprising a
tremendous population.
1t is well-known fact that forestry
and irrigation must receive simultane-
GUS attention. 1t is not too soon for
the general government to take cog
nizance of the palpable fact that the
destruction of the forests in the great
lake region has affected the Mississippi
river within one generation. Unless
the trees shall receive protection the
river will run dry and become glori-
Gus "Reminiscences; and future genera
tions may place the Father of Wa

There was time when the valley of
the Jordan was the most fertile and
beautiful in the then civilized world.
Solomon, reputed to have been excep-
tionally wise, began the destruction
OF the forests in the hill country Of
Lebanon. His successors continued
the crusade against the trees until the
hills became barren, and the Jordan
miserable creek. The plain of Es-
draelon. which was famed for its fer
tility and beauteous grandeur, became
as 1t is to-day, almost a kissing and
byword for its barrenness.
Having broad view of the lessons
to be learned from the past, and to be
applied to the present and immediate
future, President Roosevelt in his mes
sage to the congress last December,
said: "The forest reserves should be
set apart forever for the use and bene-,
fit of our people as whole and not
sacrificed to the shortsighted greed OF
the few. The forests are natural res

The tomb in which was inferred the

which faces the Washington street

ganization composed of the elite Of
the citizens. With Warren, Heath and
Williams he was engaged in the Lex

militia into strong pursuing parties.
He was major of Col. William

of Massachusetts, from January /,
1776, to December 81, 1916, and colonel
of the Third Massachusetts, line from
November |, 1776, to January z, 1888,
and promoted brigadier general
August Z, 1888, to November 8. 1888.
On the night Of June 2, 1878, he car
ried off from Deer island, Boston har-
Dor, 500 sheep and cattle, and July 12,
with 1856 men, he went to Long island
and burnt the barns and buildings and
stores collected there for the British
army.
AS colonel of the Twenty-fourth

he was ordered January 1, 1776, from
New York to reinforce the army in
Canada, and was afterward severely

With his regiment he Joined Wash
ington's army just before the battles
of Trenton and Princeton, and was
attached to Nixon's brigade. While
the Continental army which took
part in the battle of Trenton rested,
Washington perfected his means for
further offensive movements. He
learned from Col. De Hart, of Norris
town, on the 27th, the gratifying news
that the three regiments, Creations,
Bonds and Porter's, would serve
three weeks longer. The regiment
commanded by Col. Creation took part
in the several battles ending with the
surrender of Burgoyne's army. He
was senior officer at Albany in 1779,
being commander of the northern de-
partment. He was one Of the court
of inquiry in regard to Maj. Gen. Philip
Schuyler, whom the court honorably
acquitted.
After his honorable and arduous
military service, which extended from
the 10th of April, 1775, to the surrender
of the British army at Y orktown, he re-
turned to Roxbury. Worn out by the
hardships of the war, he did not live
long to enjoy the fruits of the army's
victories, but in few weeks his fam
lily, who had welcomed him to his old
home in Roxbury, consigned his re-
mains to the tomb, he dying December
16, 1888. He was one of the original

TALMAGE DEAD.
Noted Divine Passes Away After Six
Weeks Illness.

Weeks Illness.
Washington, April 12,-Rev. T. De
Witt Talmage, the noted Presbyter-
ian divine, died at 8 o'clock tonight
at his residence in this city. 1t has
been evident for some days that there
was no hope of recovery and the at
tending physician so informed the
family. The patient gradually grew
weaker until life passed away so
quietly that even the members of the
family, all of whom were watching
at the bedside, hardly knew that he
had gone. The immediate cause of
death was Inflammation of the brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health
when he started away from Washing
ton for Mexico for a vacation and
rest six weeks ago. He was then suf-
fering from influenza and serious ca
tarrhal condition. Since his return
to Washington, some time ago, he
has been quite i'll. Until Thursday,
however, fears for his death were not
entertained. The last rational words
uttered by DR.. Talmage were on the
day preceding the marriage of his
daughter, when ne said, "Of course
| know you, Maud" Since then he
| has been unconscious.

MILES TO GO.
Lieutenant General of the Army to
Be CompuIsorily Retired.

Lieutenant General of the Army to
Be CompuIsoriy Retired.
Washington, April Tissues are
1airly joined between the lieutenant
general and secretary of war. Trou-
bles which began long ago under the
Cleveland administration have finally
reached so critical a stage that the
compulsory retirement of General
Miles at an early date is an open Sc
cret and is not denied at the White
house. In explanation of President
Roosevelt's position, one of his clos
est friends, who unquestionably
speaks authoritatively, says:
"The question is not a personal one
between General Miles and Secretary
Root. At present Secretary Root has
on his shoulders a heavier burden
than any other member of the admin
istration. No man less strong could
carry it all; and now, at the very
time when he requires the most loyal
support of every subordinate who
wishes we'll to the army and navy,
he has to spend much of his strength
in meeting the opposition of the COM
manding general. If General Miles
is retired, it will be simply because
after patient trial President Roose-
welt feels that on the highest ethi-
cal grounds his retention would work
grave and lasting injustice to the
army as a whole. AS some of Gen
eral Miles friends have said that it
would be unfair to retire him, it
should be said in the first place that
he secured his promotion to brigadie1
general only through a similar forced
retirement of General Ord, he him
self being jumped over number OF
his senior officers into the vacancy
thus created; and in the second
place that the only action of the kind
taken by President Roosevelt since
he has been in office was in the case
of Colonel Moves, who was compul
sorily retired, after reaching the age
of SO, on recommendation of Genera
Miles. In other words, the genera
himself has recommended and prof
tied by the very action which his
friends now fear may be taken a
his expense. If he should go out be
, fore General Brooke is retired, Gen
eral Brooke, who is General Miles
