terror should be empowered to withdraw
from entry all lands proposed to be irri-
gated, instead of only those required for
reservoirs and bitches as provided in ths
bill; that no water should be sold or de-
Ivered except to bona fde settlers, ac-
tually living on the Iand to which the
water was applied-which was not in
the Newlands bill-and that the words:
but State and territory laws shall gov
ern and control the appropriation, use
and distribution of the waters rendered
available under this act" should be strick-
en- out as virtually subjecting the control
of Federal work to State Legislatures,
some of which he doubtless believed, but
did not say so. to be unfit to exercise
such trust, and as certainly exposing
the settlers to the dangers of endless
and ruinous litigation. At the Presi-
DENTS express requirement the bill was
amended in these respects and became
the law as it stands to-day.
Unprecedented Force.
There had been attempts for many
years to get the government to 90 into
the irrigation business. but all failed un-
til President Roosevelt took hold of the
project. In his FIRST annual message to
Congress in 1901 he called attention to
the necessity of providing water for the
arid lands and said: The object of the
government is to dispose of the land to
settlers who will build homes upon 1t.
To accomplish this object water must be
brought within their reach"
Tho national governments policy, he
pointed out, should be to aid irrigation
in the several States and territories in
such a manner as will enable the people
in the local communities to help them
selves and as will stimulate needed re-
forms in the State laws and regulations
governing irrigation. He likewise re-
minded the East. which was agninst this
policy at the time. that the reclamation
md settlement of the arid lands will en-
rich every portion of our country just as
the settlement of the Ohio and Missis-
sipN valleys brought prosperity to the
Atlantic States.
Final Personai Triumph.
With his accustomed vigor and intelli-
gence President Roosevelt exerted influ-
ence in this direction on Congress, won
the timid and the vacillating over to his
side, and the National Irrigation Law was
enacted on June II. 1902. That law, be
it remembered, grew out of his message
of 1901. was enacted by a Republican
Congress, ably coached by Mr.. Roose-
welt. The measure became a law with
his signature. The Republican National
Irrigation Act of 1909, signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. was a fitting and natural
supplement to the Republican Free
Homes Law of 1862. signed by President
Lincoln.
To President Roosevelt. therefore, and
to him alone, is due the fact that there
was any National irrigation at all In that
Congress. and that the law, as enacted.
absolutely protects the poor man and
renders any large hoiuings of national
irrigated land impossible forever.
And this is how the Democrats are
responsible" for national irrigation.

Valuable Red Sea Jewels

Many valuable jewels are ilshed out
of the Red Sea. The pearl fisheries
in that body of water are very little
known, but according to United
States Consul Masterson, who writes
from Alden, Arabia, they are import
ant.
1.-The name Lohia applies to small
group of islands at the lower end Of
the Red sea, and pearl fishing has
been carried on there for number
of years The divers are all Arabs,
but the men who finance the industry
IRE generally natives of India, and for
this reason it is hard to get the cor
rect output in numbers of pearls or
their value for any particular year, as
a great number of the pearls found at
Lohia go direct to Bombay and are
not reported here at all

The boys and girls, the young men
and young women of Japan do love
each other, suppose, but one never
sees the slightest shadow of evidence
to prove it. The spirit of love does
not dominate the national life as it
does in America and the countries OF
Europe. Japan's poets do not sing OF
love; her story writer's tell no tales
of love that can thrill an Anglo-Saxon
heart, and her artists paint no pictures
OF love that can reach the Anglo
Saxon understanding. Now, consider
ing all this, how can there be such
thing as "a good old summer time"
in this land of the sunrise? And yet
there is, and it is especially delight
| full in it's way, too, because the Japa-
nese are nation OF feasters and pick
nickers, of nature lovers and world
| beautifiers, and il one can only lose
sight of the fact that everywhere

Several years ago there was q
trade with the United States in

now goes to Europe.
pearls are the most popular of all
the precious stones among the inhabi

very seldom that native woman OF
any social position is seen without
pearl ornaments of some kind, either
in rings for the nose, ears or fingers
and some even wear pearl rings on

One OF the prominent women of Or

other night, to which she invited a
dining room full of guests. The func-
ton proved highly enjoyable, and not
a few remarked to their hostess that
they had never seen crabs so deli
ciously cooked. Some of her more
intimate neighbors even besought Of
her to tell them the secret.
With a smile which reflected the
pride she felt, the hostess was about
to whisper the recipe to a naughty
looking dame at her elbow, when a
low moan from the kitchen alarmed
the whole table and brought the con-
versation to an abrupt stop. The next
moment the waitress, who had been
acting queerly for some time, rushed
back from the kitchen with a bandage
in one hand and bottle Of sweet

CURIOUS WAYS OF SEA CRABS.
Take Elaborate Precautions to Protect
Themselves From Enemies.

Themselves From Enemies.
Certain species of crabs cover them
selves with sea weed in order to de-
ceive their foes. One crab was. seen
oy the naturalist, Eisig, in 1878. to
pluck off zoophytes, those plant-like
animal colonies which grow on shells
and stones, and to fix them on the
spines and hairs of its shell. A still
deeper romance OF defensive tactics
IS TO be found in the case OF certain
hermit crabs. They live in the cast
Of shells OF whelks and crawl about,
house on back. One claw is bigger
than the other, and this is an adaptive
feature, for when the crab retires into
It's house the bigger claw is tucked
across the mouth Of the shell TO bar
the way against a possible intruder.
More curious still is the habit OF one
species which tolls along with sea
anemone fixed to his she'll, like S.n-
bad carrying the Old Man of the sea.
Great care is taken of this anemone.
It is fed by the crab. and If the latter

go to sea on. Water is good thing
