PREVENTION OF FLOODS AND CYCLONES.

All this talk of statesmen and editors about pre-
venting floods and cyclones is the veriest rot Disas
terg from storm and flood can only be guarded
against and in very limited way. The natural eie-
ments can neither be controlled modified and the
only way to escape their disastrous side is to keep
out of their way While it takes quick work to dodge
lightning one can himself by timely insulation
But the trouble is in determining the time to nsu-
late Senator Burton proposes to head off future
foods by system OF headwater dams. Enough water
has gone down the Arkansas and Kansas rivers this
spring to make navigable lake steen feet deep Of
all western Kansas TINS is guess but it is nearer
the mark than Burton dam proposition.
This has been a remarkable year for disasters
and loss of life disasters such as railroad collisions
landsidas foods tornadoes. Almost every day OF
the early spring had its railway horror. Beginning
with January when the great railroad accident oc
CURED on the New Jersey Central railroad costing
% lives there has been constant succession OF
catastrophes. The loss OF life to say nothing Of
property in the Kaw valley, was shocking. The de-
structiOn along the Des Moines river in Iowa was
terrible. Kansas actual loss of property and OF
crops is estimated at s22,OOOOOO Following the
Kansas food and quickly the tornadoes at
GAINESVILLE Ga then came the cloudburst at Gin
ton, s c. followed soon by the disasters at East
ST Louis and finally by the awful cloudburs at Hepp-
ner And even now the Rio Grande and Colorado
rivers are carrying destruction for a distance Of
hundreds of miles
The papers of the country very generally
discussing the feasibility Of doing something to
avert the work of floods Government it is asserted
will be asked to do something All this talk will
cease in due season for the reason it win be seen
to be impracticable. Localities and crcumscribed
possibly be protected from ordinary annual
floods and railways will time goes on, depend
more substantial construction but river can't
be controlled or a tornado modified

A NEW AND EXTENSIVE GOLD FIELD.

1 is the regulation conviction that aside from the
North and South Poles there is little left on this
earth to be discovered that its mineral and fuel
and agricultural and pastoral fields have about all
been located and explored. But discoveries are
being made almost every year Of worldwide import
ance a few years ago who would have asserted
that Kansas was a state in which oil and gas would
be found and that it would be the greatest zinc pro
Queer in the world. Kansas was deemed and put
down in the records as simply prairie state Klon
dixie was unsupported The Cripple Creek region
of Colorado had been dug over and prospected for
twenty years and no pay dirt found. And doubt
less there are other districts just rich in gold and
silver in the Rocky Mountains Cripple Creek, or as
California guch awaiting discovery and development
In fact man probably hasn't hardly commenced to
unearth the treasures lying hid beneath the surface
of the earth.
The reported discovery Of extremely rich vein
OF gold-bearng quartz in Western Siberia not far
from the Siberian railroad will surprise one who
is at all acquainted with the natural resources Of
that vast country It has been known for many years
that minerals Of many kinds were abundant in ST
Empire has come mainly from Europe and the noun
ans which are On the border Of the two continents,
it is no new thing to get sold from Siberia
That country is so immense and so varied in sur
face, as well in rock formations and proved min
eral deposits that it may become the greatest gold
mining region of the earth. The tests of its metallic
wealth far made merely indicate that almost any
thing is possible. The chances are all in favor of
rapid and extensive development of the Siberian
mines of many kinds.
That is one Of the numerous reasons for expecting
great increase in the next few years Of gold yield
which has been running far above any records known
until within the last decade The worlds stock of
money based gold and therefore Of the most solid
character, viii expand steadily and rapidly, for
long time to come.

THE BUDDHIST PROPAGANDA IN AMERICA
on the street

When it comes to religion upon which mankind
bases its faith and hope of an immortality humanity
as whole is very Inconsistent The orthodox churches
seem TO be dreading the spread CT Christian science
whose founder following profess to hold closer to
the teachings and ideals of Christ than any other
sect or profession. The Christian world again, is
spending millions Of dollars in missionary work
For two or three generations the greatest single
effort has been TO Christianize India and China. to
convert them from Confucianism and Buddhism.
But now there is being published in San Francisco
a bi-monthIy magazine devoted to the teachings OF
Buddha, and Rev. K. Hori, superintendent Of Bud
dhst missions in America is its conductor, so that
the Buddhist propaganda which has been on the
etocks for many months is about 10 be launched
With an assurance born Of deep conviction, MI HOri
declare that tine time has now come for the Bud
dhsts from the socalled Buddhist countries of the
Orient to meet the intellectual and spiritual demand
Of the Occident Of the present age for the most gor
ious teachings of compassion purity, peace and wis
dom as proclaimed in India, by the Buddha Sakya-
mum about coo years before Christ.
Oriental religions have been looked upon by the
western world as little better than idolatry. 1t has
not been SO long since any effort TO propagate Bud
dhism in America would have been frowned down
But the San Francisco effort which is being backed
by a number of American women, does not meet
with as much opposition the Mormons or Latter
Day Saints. The Unitarian ministry of the United
States often quote Buddha while Hori's new maya
zine contains contributions from the pens of two
American women who are more Buddhistic than
Buddhists themselves.

(Florence Earle Coates.)
Our single lives are circled round
BY an embracing sea;
Are Joined to all that has been, bound
To all that is TO be;
The past and future meet and cross,
And in lfe's ocean IS no loss.
The music of the summer dawn.
The silence of the midnight sky,
The stars. in azure deeps withdrawn.
Reveal single mystery;
And blent with these come whispeTings
OF spirit in each shy retreat.
And link the soul with viewless things,
In union close and sweet.
Failure itself may be but gain
In aspiration; paved with fire
May be the path that leads from pain;
And unfulflled desire
May guide To that content above
Whose name on earth is-love.
