The change is that the bowling crease IS ex-
tended one foot on each side of the wicket. This
gives the bowler considerable advantage in de-

WYOMING IRRIeATioNisTs.
State Will Be Strongly Represented at
Colorado Springs Congress.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 19.-Wyoming
Will be well represented Mt the coming
meeting Of the National Irrigation Con-
gress at Colorado Springs. Among
those from this state who will deliver
addresses are: .
Prof. G. Il. Johnson, assistant chief
OF the irrigation Investigations, who
will deliver an address on irrigation in
Egypt, illustrated by lantern slides
made from views taken by him during
his visit to Egypt last winter.
State Engineer Fred Bond. member
of the executive committee and one of
the leading authorities in the West on
Irrigation matters, will deliver an ad-
workings of the Wyoming law, which
is conceded to be the best extant.
Ex-senator Joseph NJ. Carey, father
of the Carey act, president of the Wy
oming Development Company, one of
the largest colonization concerns in the
West, and recognized authority on
arid land reclamation, duty of water,
and kindred subjects, will deliver an
address on the Carey act and its opera
tions.
There will be other prominent men
from this state in attendance upon the
meeting, which is attracting more al
tention throughout Wyoming than any
previous gathering of this kind.
One of the subjects to be discussed
and brought to the attention of the
Congress by delegates from this state
is the forest fire problem. All users of
water realize that the forests must be
protected from the tie cutter, fire fiend
and destroying bugs in order to con-
serve the water supply, and that un-
less something is done at once the for
est tracts will be wiped out. One of
tine chief remedies suggested will be
to urge upon the government the ne
cessiiy of appointing and maintaining
Il larger force of forest rangers to care
for the timbered tracts, protect them
from fire and collect evidence against
law breakers and prosecute them. To
spend more money in the legitimate
care of forests instead of studying in
sects and their habits, will be the ad-
vice of many prominent men from this
state who are familiar with local con-
ditions. and who are capable of judg-
Ing best what steps should be taken to
overcome an evil that is growing rap
idly and laying waste forests at an
alarming rate.

HOME FROM POLAR SEAS.
Lieutenant Peary Arrives Safely in
New Brunswick.

North Sydney. \. b., Sept. 10.-Lieu-'
tenant Peary arrived here yesterday on
the steamer Windward from the frozen
North. He did not discover the North
Pole during his trip of four years, but
he says that in his last dash with that
object in view he made important dis
coveries. He says lie feels certain that
the pole can be reached, and further
more that If he We're man OF inde-
pendent means he would persevere un-
til he succeeded. The most northerly
point reached was latitude eighty-four
degrees seventeen minutes, northwest
of Cape Hecla. Lieutenant Peary says
that the pole can be reached from
Franz Josefland and from Grant land,
in latitude eighty-three degrees, IL the
winter quarters are established as far
north as possible. He says that he
would just as soon winter at Cape Hec-
Ia as at Sabine or Etnh.
On board the Windward also was
Mrs. Peary, who is just recovering
from n fortnight's illness and who is
glad to reach the land once more. She
is expected to recuperate quickly on
proceeding to Il more congenial cline,
Little Marie Peary and others of the
party are in good health.
Lieutenant Peary is recovering from
an accident TO one of his legs from
which he suffered last winter. He Is
slightly lame, although this is not es-
pecially noticeable.
Neither Peary nor DIR. Dedrick would
make statement pertaining to their
reported quarrels some time ago. Mem
bers of the Windward's crew say that
the two men have had no intercourse
whatever since the doctor was taken
on board at Cape York. where he spent
the winter. DIR. Dedrick leaves to-mor-
row for his home in New York.
The Windward's cargo includes many
cases of relics from the North and
number of live animals for Central
park. New York City.

Real, Genuine Sea serpents.

Victoria. B. c., Sept. 19.-Japanese
papers received on the Empress OF
India report the capture of two sea
tserpents off the coast of Japan by fish
ermen. One was male measuring
forty-eight feet and the other female
thirty-nine feet. They had horns two
feet six inches long and ears about
two feet. The male became entangled
in the nets of the fishermen and as
they were hauling it to shore the
monster came to the surface and bel
lowed. Finally finding that they could
not take the serpent shoreward in the
nets, they got firearms from the
schooners and shot the reptiles. AS
the male turned over in its death
agony the female came to the surface
and .lashed the water in her fury. She
was also killed and the remains OF
both taken ashore and thence to
Osaka, where they were exhibited.
1t is the opinion of scientists that
the serpents being disturbed by seis-
mic disturbances. abandoned the deep
water for the shallow.

XnIne of Affection.

have seen a human life crushed by
a disappointment or by a bereavement
or by some heart sorrow worse than
death. 1t seemed as though all the
light had gone out of it, black night
and gloom, and yet as time wore on
the stars came out, and when the soul
had become accustomed to the new
environment there was peace, calm
resignation, which yielded no small
degree of actual happiness. The mar
row circle gave more than the larger
circle of other days, and the burdened
life had flowers in it which do not
blossom in soil which is rich with eX-
element and pleasure. Many man
has learned what life means through
affiiction, and l sometimes think that
our sorrows are the best part of us.
The man who has his own way has a
very poor way, and the man who is
led by God is on the road to heayen.-

rancher or farmer-has not come sud
denly. In some sections he has been
at work for years-in parts of Texas,
where he is protected by comparative
" favorable land laws, since the early
eighties; in others he is just arriving,
but he has been strong enough only
within the last few years to exert any
perceptible influence No evolutionary
changes are ever sharply defined; adj
vancement is the result of many In
extricably overlapping influences. The
buffalo hunter overlapped the cowboy,
the cowboy overlaps the sheepman and
the goatman, and all three have over
