as the great steam excavat0r shown in
the illustration performs In eight
hours The burning sun or rain in tor
rents has no terrors for this mammoth
earth-deyouring monster. The scene
Is from photograph Of the construc-
tion work on the irrigation canal in
Colusa County, California. The arti-
fcial river thus created is six miles
long, 100 feet wide, and 30 feet to the
top OF its banks. The Sacramento riv-
er furnishes the water which makes
fertile 10000 acres OF fruit ranches.
The exeavator travels on its own
railway tracks on each side OF the
canal, ana as the work proceeds the
track Is taken up and relaid ahead
OF the machine
The steel buckets, which have sharp,
cutting edges, move constantly by
means Of endless chains, and empty
their load of earth first on one side,
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides Of the ditch.
All these movements Of the machine
are controlled by one leyerman. who
may be seen in the cut standing on
the platform on the left of the bucket.
He has control of five separate levers,
one for raising and lowering the buck
ct chain. one for moving the car to
the right, and another for moving the
car to the left, and another for moving
it forward on the side track, and the
fifth controls the engine. The rapidi-
ty and facility with which all these
movements are made is surprising, es-
pecially considering the momentum
and immense weight of the car and
bridge and the excavator's machinery
which is about 800 tons.

A negro has had printed several hun
dred copies of letter purporting to
have been written by Jesus Christ, and
found 40 years after his crucifxion. 1t
is his object to sell the letter to the
ignorant of his race. A good many
copies Of this letter have already been
sold among the poorer white people Of
Columbus, many ignorant people not
doubling its genuineness. The letter
has the following heading:

The specialists must be divided into
two distinct classes, the surgeon prop
er and the pure physician. The former
unquestionably gets big fees in ratio
to his reputation. The famous sur
geon has only to name his fee to the
millionaire with appendicitis. With
the fear of death before his eyes he
will write his check gladly. When
he has recovered he will often grum-

but the public, with death staring
them in the face, will have the man
with the big name, regardless Of ex-
pense.
But the pure physician is an entirely
different matter. His fees are stand
ardized not by act Of Parliament, but
by that autocratic body, the Royal Col
lege of Physicians. His fees for con-
sultation at his own house are fixed
at 2 guineas the first visit and a
guinea for each subsequent one For
consultations away from home he re-
ceives fee at the calculated rate Of
twO-thirds Of a guinea mile. Elstree,
twelve miles out of town, is ipso facto
8 guineas Liverpool COZ miles, is 1874
guineas, and so on pro rata. But il
must be remembered that nowadays
all the big provincial centers have
their own specialists, and the town
man is very seldom sent for unless he
be one Of the very biggest names and
the case desperate and rich.

As the result of anonymous informa-
ton, some customs officers climbed into
the spire of an ancient church at Que
FAC, in the south Of France, and after
careful search found a still, which.
although dating from the seventeenth
century, was yet in a perfect state of
preservation and capable of being
worked. Naturally the requirements
Of the law with regard to apparatus Of
this description had not been complied
with in this case, but who was the of.
fender? The vicor in charge of the
building? The sacristan who visited it
weekly?
Intercepted, the former declared
that he had only recently come into
the parish and had never set foot in
the spire. He was, therefore, totally
ignorant of the existence Of the incrim-
mating vessel. The sacristan, however.
could not allege so valid an excuse
and, his explanation. not being consid-
cred satisfactory, he win be proceede-
ed against.

Miss Nina Boegn, a Swiss girl, has
the distinction of having taught school
in nearly every civilized country in
the world, although she is barely 81
years OF age. She began teaching
when she was 1s, and year later de,
cided to take trip around the world,
making her expenses by teaching in
the lands through which she passed.
With $3.50 and large stock Of pluck
and courage as her capital, she
started out, and it has taken her
eight years to accomplish her pur-
pose. During the entire tour of the
world she never met with an accident
She was treated with courtesy everv-
where, and had plenty of pupils in
each country where she chose to stop.
She reports that she found Australia
the most liberal in paying teachers for
their services.

In his message to Congress in that year

Mr.. Paul Thieman, whoever he may
be, says something in recent issue Of
a Denver paper which is pat and to the
point. We herewith produce the first
few paragraphs Of his article:
When one beholds the complacent
failure to comprehend the nature and
condition Of Far Western irrigation, 1t
Il maddening. have seen one man,
who Is thoroughly posted, almost break
into wild tears Of rage over the ever
recurring evidences that the people at
large, the people right here, the ma
donal government, the State govern
ments, do not appreciate national irri-
CATION, and that the public informa-
don and the individual knowledge Of
the subject at this time are strangely
dense The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama-
ton Of the arid region are the result Of
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
Few people understand that the ma
tional irrigation fund is nothing but
bulk Of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and bitches, upon
guarantee that the owners OF the lands
to be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund. The national fund is not to
be depleted, but must be replenished
by the payment back Of the cost of the
work, as assessed by the government
engineers and If signatures to such
pledges can't be secured, the works
proposed will not be built.
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than If done by pri-
vate capital, and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit of the
cost, lots of landowners won't sign.
and there you are. Meantime the gov
eminent officials knock private enter
prises and warn the people against
them, when, as the situation stands.
it is only private enterprise, in pro-
noting irrigation district bonds, in Col
orado, at least that is really doing any
thing.
