NEWELL TALKS
IRRIGATION.

F. H.. Newell, of the United
States geological survey, in
charge of the reclamation SER
vice in the arid west, in a recent
paper in the National Geograph-
ic Magazine gives some interest
ing data of the work.
The reclamation fund now
amounts to about $4,000, 900
and is increasing rapidly. The
fund is accumulated under the
provisions of the reclamation
law, which set apart the pro-
ceeds from the sale of public
lands in thirteen western states
and three territories for the con-
struction of irrigation works.
The land sales in 1901 started
the fund with $3.00p.00O; in
1902 the sum of $4,000, 900
was added, and in 1908 about
So, 900, 900. The more irriga-
ton works are built the more
public land within reach of the
water supply will become mar
ketabIe. and thus the progress
-.
of the work will help to swell
the fund.
As the water is supplied the
owners of the land benefited
will pay tor what thev use and
will ultimately pay for the en-
tire cost OF Improvement. All
the money they pay will be
turned back into the fund, and
thus will be used over and over
again for the building of more
storage reservoirs.
When finally the limit of water
attainable has been reached and
it is not practicable to irrigate
more land the entire fund will
be turned into the general
treasury.
The work of of surveying the
w stern streams TO ascertain
the amount of water supply
and how the land may be re-
claimed by irrigation has been
in progress since 1888 and is
still going on.

1t is an extraordinary story. that OF
the heartless manner in which Queen
Elizabeth, during series of years.
played with the Duke of Alencon, and
ultimately drove kim to despair and
death. No woman but one whose heart
vanity and ambition had turned to
stone could have carried on the long
iuggle as she did with the amorous
young French prince, to the amaze
ment, and often the disgust. of her
closest councillors. Swearing with
awful oaths her promise to marry
him and her eternal affection for him,
signing. languishing, and drawing him
into compromising situations by her
pretended love for him, she deceived
not only her lover. but the keenest
politicians in Europe; and yet, with
her private correspondence now be-
fore us, we see that the whole comedy
was a lie, SO far as she was con-
cerned; and that in what seemed her
moments of utter self-abandonment in
her love she was coolly calculatirg 9

Plat, who charged him with annoying
her on the streets. She declared that
every time they met Andrew persist

her, and she wanted the practice. stop

Andrew explained to the recorder
that he and Julia were once lovers.
and that white he was counting he
made her a present of half book of
trading stamps. Recently Julia re-
jected him, and their engagement was
broken. = ,drew thought that as he
was Tilted he should have the stamps
back.
Julia admitted having received
them, but declared she could not re-
turn them as she had exchanged them
for a beautiful plush chair. On An

again the recorder let him go.

The Market Price Of Titles,

A dealer in foreign titles and decor
ations, in response to an inquisitive
inquirer, gives the price of the COM
modities he offers. The title of count
costs 10000 francs; viscount, 25,00O;
baron, $1,000. These are Spanish.
"Chevalier" is naturally much less
expensive, the highest order being for
sale at 5000 francs.
The red. black and white rosette OF
the Red Cross, given for aid to the
wounded on land and sea, can actually
be purchased for 1900 francs; no
further qualification being necessary
than the payment of this sum. One
month suffices the Intern ediary to Sc
cure this decoration to the candidate
who desires it. The higher titles
necessitate a delay Of five or six
months.
Half the purchase money has to be
sent to the dealer in titles on applica.

Where Money Is Made

Birmingham, England, has mint
which, in addition to turning out mil
lions of English coins, does more in
the way of supplying foreign govern
ments with coin than any other
money-making establishment in the
world.
A few days ago it shipped the first
installment of huge Egyptian order
for 100000 plasters. The consisn-
ment weighed five tons, was con-
voyed in sixty cases, and valued at
$15O0O,00O. For we'll over a century
Birmingham has taken the lead in
this literal kind of money-maling. AS
far back as 1897 one firm coined un-
der contract for the British govern
ment 1000 tons of copper coin, val
ued at about $4,000,000. Among the
countries and governments which
have gone time after time to Birming-
ham for their money are India, Tunis,
Canada, Turkey, China, Honskong,
