SCENIC GLORIES OF THE LAND
 OF THE SKY AND SAPPHIRE

SCENIC GLORIEs OF THE LAND COUNTRY.
 Much has been written concerning the superb scenery of this unrivalled pla- teau; much more might still be written,
 and it's glories would even then be far
 in advance of the most glowing descrip-
 tion. From the moment the traveller enters this region until duty elsewhere
 forces him to leave it naught that is
 unpleasing meets his eye. With a soil
 of unsurpassed fertility, it's verdure is
 of the deepest and most beautiful hue;
 it's rolling hills enchantingly hem in it's
 placid lakes, it's broad rivers and it's
 rippling streams, while it's strikingly picturesque and lofty mountains- famed alike for their number and their
 size--form the background for innu-
 merable scenes of natural beauty and
 grandeur. Any one of it's massive
 peaks, placed elsewhere, would be an object of striking beauty. Here, sur
 rounded by scores of others equally
 grand, it's majesty is comparative,
 though none the less pleasing, and the
 ensemble is one of unparalleled love-li
 ness.
 The glorious climate" of other
 places is often descanted upon by
 writers portraying the attractions of
 favorite resorts. That of western North Carolina really deserves this appellation
 more truly than many much higher vaunted localities. At no season of the year is there ever the slightest discom- fort, either from summers heat or win
 ter's chill. And for the reason that
 both of these features are entirely ab-
 sent, summer is season of ethereal
 mildness," winter a period of coolness and comfort, either pleasant and agree
 able to invalid and full of attractive
 ness to the healthy and vigorous. The
 claims of perfection for the climate of this region are strong, but they do not
 lack for the best and strongest corrob- oration. The official government rec ords of the climate of western North Carolina, which are unimpeachable ev~ idence, give the following averages: Spring, 5S49 degrees F.; summer, 70.72 degrees F. autumn, 53.4S degrees F; winter, 3S87 degrees F., with mean for the whole year of 54.15 degrees F. and a mean relative humidity of but 65 per cent.

 Suddenly there was cry, She's right on top of us!' and so she was. It was the Pioneer, steaming without lights. She struck us at the forebridge, and cut clean through us. The fore- part of the Orwell fell away and sank I was making my way to the engine room, when I heard the cries forward, and was just at the entrance when the shock came. chung on to handraiI, and then got below and stopped the en- zines. After doing a few other neces- sary things realized that the ship was not sinking, and was, of course, re- lieved.
 I was afraid that the Pioneer would come into our boilers. and you can inn agine what this would have meant. Luckily, she did not do this. but missed them by only a few feet Our lieuten- ant, Roberts, and the sub, Corlett, were both on the bridge, and I did not ex- pect to see them again. They both had miraculous escapes. Lieutenant Rob- arts was struck by the stem of the Pio- neer as she came through US. He man aged to hang on, climbed in over her bows, and was sent back to US later on. Needless to say how glad I was to see him, and also to hear later on that Cor lett had been picked up. He went away with the forepart of the ship, and as it sank he got clear, and was soon picked up.

COLLISION BETWEEN MEN-OF-
 WAR.


 Details have now been received of the collision between his Majesty's ship Pioneer and the torpedo-boat destroyer Orwell, off Corfu. early on Saturday morning, when the small ship was cut in two, her fore-part sinking with a loss of fifteen lives. It will be rennem- bered that a number of torpedo craft had been manoeuvring with all navi- gation lights out when the disaster oc- cured. The Southern Echo of South ampton, published last night letter re- ceived by MT. Henry Lashmore from his son, who was the engineer of the Orwell He gives the following details of the event, from which it will be mo- ted that the Orwell had her navigation lights hoisted at the time the accident happened:
 We have been through a dreadful experience. We have been doing lot of exercises lately. There are twelve destroyers here, split up into two divi- sions of six each, and we have been having a good many night attacks. For these all navigation lights are put out. and the nights being pitch dark, with no moon, of course, 1t is dangerous work On Friday we were anchored in San Giovanni Bay, in company with our division of destroyers and the Tyne. We were to have an attack that night. The idea was that we were to break out, and, if possible, elude the six de- stroyers blockading us outside the har- bor. Having done this, we were to dis cover the Pioneer and attack her. We knew her to be within certain limits laid down beforehand. .~ Our part of the attack was soon fin ished, as we were discovered by the de-

After the Pioneer had got us safely in tow we did our best to find out how many were missing. The Pio-. neer had picked up Mr. Smith, our gun. ner, dead, and a leading stoker, also dead.

He correctly gauged the feelings of the ma jority of his prospective readers and he produced just the sort of a book that would appeal to them. The intelligent reader will not, however, attach much weight to such book as that before US, and in America at least it will not have a favorable effect upon the cause of the man who was so shamefully per- secuted.

The terrible floods in Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa and the con-
sequent destruction of life and
property furnish a powerful argu-
ment for storage reservoirs and
irrigation. The water which
should be a blessing and of which
most of the middle western states
never have an adequate supply.
becomes a devastating enemy.
Every drop of this wasted force
will be needed later in the season.
Most of the water between the
Missouri and the Rockies comes
from melting SHOWS and spring
rains and is wasted by running off
through overworked streams.
With reservoirs throughout the
upper courses of the rivers all
parts would be benefited. Thus
an even flow could be secured and
in the dry months the upper
parts could be irrigated and the
lower courses would at all times
be free from disastrous floods. 1t
is estimated that the damage to
property from the recent flood at
Kansas City alone amounts to
65o,ooo,ooo which is three-fourths
the total cost of all irrigating sys-
TENS in the United States in 1000
and several times the cost of all
the storage reservoirs. The need
less waste cannot be stopped toe
