ARTESIAN BASINS IN
IDAHO AND OREGON
Results of Reconnaissance Made by
Prof. Israel c. Russell.

The United States Geological Survey
has published a preliminary report by
Israel c. Russell on artesian basins In
southwestern Idaho and southeastern
Oregon. The report Is of interest on
account of the proposed irrigation of
the arid lands in those States. Prof.
Russelis "Reminiscences were made
rapidly but yet he found the conditions
much more suitable for artesian wells
than he had hoped.
1t was discovered that the geological
conditions in the Snake River Canyon
from the vicinity OF Glenns Ferry west
ward to the boundary between Elmore
and Ada counties. and in the Brimean
and Little Valleys are such that sur
face flow can be expected. This was
named the Lewis artesian basin. ,e7i,
The reconnaissance in southeastern
Oregon showed a surface flow may be
expected in at least three separate val
leys in addition TO the basin crossed
bv Snake River These are Otis Valley
about six miles north of Drewsey, and
the Broad Valley in which Malheur and
Harvey Lakes lie
The Survey has also published the
Cranberry geologic folio, the territory
mapped lying in North Carolina and
Tennessee. The introduction Is by
Arthur Keith.

Romeo and Juliet. "
How the Stage Director Chose His
Version,

Robert Hickman, the stage director OF
the Bertha Galland company. has neg
lected nothing in endeavoring to procure
a version of Romeo and Juliet" which
will enable the Galland company TO pre-
sent all the best scenes accurately and
with elaborate business. In order to do
this Mr. Hickman secured the country
for the different versions used by promt-
nent actors, and having read them ell
selected the best. He procured the
Henry Irving stage business and that
employed by Adelaide Nelson. who has
been pronounced to be the greatest OF
all Juliets. In the first act, the fight
between the servants of the houses of
Montagu and Capulet has been omitted.
since 1t is merely of commonplace in
terest and in a production which neces-
sarily requires much time in its pre-
sentation things which have no imme-
date bearing upon the principal story
must be omitted. The reference TO
Romeo's first love, Rosalind, is re-
tanned.
In this respect the GaIland production
will differ greatly from the majority of
versions winch nave Decn seen III WaSn-
ington which generally cut out all refer
ence7 to Rosalind and make Juliet
sRomeos only love. In leaving out the
fight of the first act 1t is remarkable
how greatly simpIif1ed that part of the
play becomes. After that Mr.. Hickman
follows the David Garrick version, which
has this act played in only two scenes.
This does away with the abruptness and
annoyance of the shifting of front scenes.
For change of scene in midacts Mr..
Luckett was fortunate in being able to
purchase a magnificent velvet curtain

weeks ago IN his production of Lag

The public is assured that the Romeo

and Mr. Hickman has given especial at
teDtion 10 this annoying feature with the
result that simplihed production will
enable everyone 10 reach his home at an
early hour.

LOOP THE LOOP" NOT MODERN
Diversion So Enthusiastically Practiced
at Coney Island Dates From 1aah.

The centrifugal pleasure railway COM
monty known as looping the loop" has
been looked upon as a modern invention
until the Scientific American" in the
current Issue, pointed out the fact that
the loop was known as far back as
isi6. The Scientific American" says:
Two music halls of Paris are at pres
ent entertaining their patrons with ex-
citing Journeys on this astonishing piece
of apparatus. In the effort to Guido
his rival, the proprietor of one of these
music halls claimed that his boucher
la boucle" is under the direction of
the only true and genuine inventor
This claim of originality to the invention
aroused the suspicion OF one of the staff
Of the French weekly. "LIilustration."
J. F. Gall. in La Nature" has carried
out a similar and more exhaustive in
vestigation, and proved that a certain
Clavieres was the inventor of the CEN
trifugal railway. So popular did loop
ing the loop become that other coun-
tries soon adopted the continuance. Ac-
cording to Clavieres' plan, the track. at
ter sharp descent, was curved into a
circular loop and then extended Into an
upward incline. The car. in travelling
on the two rails constituting the track
plunged down the first incline at a ter
rife speed, whirled around the loop and
assembled the second incline. In those
days people were more fearful than the
modern New Workers who visit Coney
Island, and boldly seat themselves In
the car, utterly regardless whether or
not they Will come out uninjured. In
order to convince people how safe his
railway was Clavieres filled the car with
monkeys. 1t was not until the safety
of looping the loop was thus conclu-
sively demonstrated that men and wo-
men were willing to enjoy its doubtful
pleasures for two sous.

JAPANESE ENTOMOLOGIST
OF WORLDWIDE FAME
Nawa, of Gifu, Has Done Inestimable Work in the
Interest of Science

gagged in sending specimens to other
scientists He is gratefully remember
ed by DR.. Ashmead, and the other Of
ficials OF the National Museum, for the
full and valuable collection of Japan
csc insects which he exhibited at the
Worlds Fair and then presented to the
Museum
This Oriental enthusiast has not only
taken an interest in his subject himself,
but has gone to great trouble to interest
the young people OF his native land in
the study and classification of insects.
At his beautiful home In Gifu he has
what might be called an entomoIogical
academy, where young men are taught
the subject and are urged to make indie
pendent investigations. A year or two
ago he gave an exhibition of his col
lection in connection with an agricul-
tural fair and charged small admis-
sion fee. Great crowds paid to see the
collection and much was done to stfrnu-
late interest in the native insects.
Mr. Nawa has daughter, Taxa Nawa,
who is as enthusiastic over entomology
as her father. She is also an artist OF
unusual ability with a peculiar knack
FOR painting, in colors, butterflies and
other insects and her drawings and
paintings OF the rarer species In her
fathers collection have proved very val
liable to entomologists who were I'M
able to secure original specimens.
An chronological journal in Japanese
is published by Mr.. Nawa and has a
wide circulation, but its usefulness ONT
side of the island empire is limited nv
the difficulty of the language.
