nee which in the German churches
have been considered extremely rad
icaI, has gained a popular fame which
the father never had. DR.. Friedrich
Delitzsch's eminence as a scholar has
been derived from his explorations in
the territory which once was occupied
by the great Babylonian empire. There
he has made notable discoveries, CORE
spending to those made by Prof. Hill
precht, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. AS the result of his archaeology
ical discoveries concerning the life Of
these ancient Babylonians, DR.. De-
htzsch has formulated, concerning the
BabyIonian origin Of religious cOncep-
tions of the Old Testament, conclusions
which he regards as s~ubversiye Of be-
lief in revealed religion as commonly
held. These conclusions regarding
Biblical criticism are not, however,
says the Outlook, those of an
expert; and they have been con
verified by Biblical critics of the
radical school. Unlike his theological
opinions, his archaeological discov-
cries have been Of great value. BY
bringing to light records Of the com
mon life and Of the political institu-
tions Of the ancient Babylonians, they
have made the life Of that ancient PEG.
pie seem very human to us, not to say
almost modern. DR.. Delitzsch uses the
English language huently. American
students in Germany have found hin
/ especially a~pproachable. His interest,
are broad. BE IS far from being
recluse; he is rather, as one Of hi
American pupils has said, a citizen o
the world.

s0MB BIG PROJECTS.
one Million Acres Of Arid Land
About to Be Reclaimed.
Government Engineers VIII Trans
form Desert Wastes Into Fruit
and Vegetable Gardens Of
Rare PrOduethvenesn.

Actual work will commence this sum
mer on i've huge irrigation projects,
which have been undertaken by the
national government. Their object is
the reclamation of 100000 acres of
land. There are $~1O,00O,OO0 on hand to
begin the work. This is regarded as
sample to make a beginning" Govern
ment officials are not making any esti-
mates on the amount which will be
spent before the work is completed,
but they say emphatically that for
every dollar Of outlay there will be ten-
fold returns. The desert is to be made
to blossom as the rose.
The secretary Of the interior, says
the Chicago Journal, has given his Off
cial approval of five irrigation projects,
and the lands affected by them have
been withdrawn from entry or sale.
They are 'impounded, so tospeak, un-
til they shall be opened t settlement
in accordance with the terms of the
new irrigation law. For many months
these localities have been under exam
nation by scores of expert engineers,
photographers, and surveyors, who
have mapped them, measured the wa
tiers, explored the supplies, drilled the
beds, recorded the flows, and made al
n Of estimates calculated to
throw light5o on their a~daptability to the
needs of irrigation. On the basis d
these reports Prof. +. H. Newell, of TIL,
geological survey, recommended then
to the secretary, and the latter hai
given orders that the work go ahead
The work will be under the genera
direction of Prof. F. H. Newell, who wa
selected for this duty by the ~secretar!

the Thomas Jefferson Memorial asso-

The design for the medallion was
easily obtained, and the product is

have q raised medallion portrait of
Jefferson in profile, the drawing, ETC.,

consulting engineer. Others on the per-
manent engineering force are A. p. Da-
Wis, who will have general supervision
Of the enginee ring work; J.H. Quinton,
Prof. II. A. Storrs, and w. E. Swift. In
addition to these there will be numer-
Gus engineers.in the field.
The projects selected to make a be-
ginning of this gOvernment-aided
reclamation of arid lands are sit
uated respectively in Montana, Wy
oming, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada.
Each project is quite different from all
h others in the character of engineer
ing problems to be solved, and the
scheme by which the water is to be
made available.
One of. the most interesting projects,
from an engineering and spectacular
point of view, is the plan to dam the
Salt river. This river rises in the White
Mountain Indian reservation, north
east of Phoenix, flowing southwestPast
that city, joining the ella river, which,
before the Gadsden purchase, was the
boundary line between the United
States and Mexico. At Yuma the ella
strikes the extreme southern bound
ary of California, continuingit its course
south as the Colorado river, and empty
ing into the Gulf of California. Here
again, the plan is to save the waters
which run to waste in the freshets Of
spring. To do this it is proposed to
build a dam $50 feet high between two
precipitous rocks which form a natura'
gate, leading from a wide basin, pc
culiarly well adapted to storing water
The dificulty here will be in makings SC
high a dam strong enough to Withstand
the onrush Of the t%orrential floods. Blu
the engineers who have made the ex
aminations are convinced that Their
are no problems which cannot be sue

This is the story Of an owl with the
face of a monkey and a full set OF
teeth, reported from Los Angeles.

about this owl and his Eve brother and
sister owls, with their m~onkey-like

was opened and closed. 1t was an easy
thing to do, and after that the mel
