Gigantic Dam,

Upon the Tunga Barda river, near
Hospet, in the extreme western corner
of British India, construction has been
begun on tremendous dam. This rivals
even the recently constructed Assvuan
dam ON the Nile. The sources of the
Tunga Barda are In tho western CHATS,
and the course of the river is easterly
across India, flowing 400 miles to the sea.
The scope Of this project is to construct
a dam nearly mile long by $50 feet in
height, thereby forming a huge reser-
voir approximately 40 miles in length
and covering an area of $50 square miles.
BY means Of this project some zoo, 00O,-
900, 900 cubic feet Of watsr-about five
times the capacity Of the Assouan reser-
voir and equal In area to about three
times that on the Nile-will be available
for the irrigation Of the surrounding
country. The cost of this project is esti-
mated at three and half crores Of ru-
PEGS, but owing to the extent Of the coun-
try it will be able to irrigate 1t Is antici-
pated that the scheme will be q most
paying one.-N. Y. Herald.

MAN IN YEAR 5000 B. c.
Evidences Exhumed Show That PEG
pie Then Were Much as They
Are at Present.

The length of time man has been
known TO inhabit this earth has been
proved to be at least 5000 years. A.
NJ. Amenlineau has issued the first
volume of the history of his excava-
tons at Abydos, the sacred residence
of Osiris. Here he has found prehis-
tOric tOmbS. and from their contents he
knows that they date back 5000 years.
Fortunately for the explorer, says the
New York Herald, the Egyptian Of that
day thought of death as state so
closely allied to life that he would
have need of all the necessities and
comforts he had used here. Conse-
quently these were placed beside him
in his tomb, and from them the nine
teenth century explorer can tell how
the people of the year 5000 B. c. lived,
what they ate, how they dressed and
what was the range of mind and civ
iliZation in that ancient time.
Cereals, like wheat and rye, prove
the agricultural tastes of these people.
Date stones evidence the growth of the
palm. Ok and gazelle bones show that
these men were not vegetarians. Dec
orative instinct was then alive, for
there are many specimens of orna-
ments which show great skill; beads,
metal bracelets and rings of various
sorts. Pottery. both for kitchen use
and for ornament, show that at first
this art was practised before the
knoWWSsedge of the potter's wheel and
afterward with nth its aid. The furniture
was found only in fragments. Tor most
of the wood had rotted away, tut the
ivory legs of sofas remained and are a.
valuable find. They show that the
hippOpotamus, whose tusks formed
these legs, were hunted by these early
Egyptians.
But one illustration shows us how
nearly these people were akin to the
people of to-day. This Is the discov
cry in one of the tombs Of what must
have served as baby's nursing bottle
in that far away time and place. 1t
Is an earthen vase, with a hole In the
side into which a bit Of cloth could be
inserted that the baby might draw
milk from the vase. The ivory and
wooden instruments which were used
to color the eyelids and brows red and
black, SO that the eyes might appear
larger, tell us that vanity is at least
5000 years old.

LAWLESSNESS IN AMERICA.
Larger Number of Murders In One
State in One Year Than in
British Empire.

AnglO-Saxon reverence for law can
hardly survive trip across the Allan
tic ocean, according to John Martin, who
was the speaker at the League for Po-
litical Education, recently reports the
New York Tribune. When Mr.. Mar
tin first landed in the port of New York
he had, 1t appears. some "paltry photo
graphic materials which he was so
misguided as to declare" on the blank
handed to him for that ostensible pur-
pose.
II shall never forget" said Mr.. Mar
tin, "the surprise of the customs official
when he looked at that paper He prac-
tically told me that had been fool but
that since I was such a greenhorn l
would have to pay the duty. l hope you
won't ask me what have done on SUBJ
sequent occasions of like nature"
Mr.. Martin was talking about Amer
ican Lawlessness," and the same spir-
it which he discovered in the custom
house he found to be rampant every
where in the United States.
'In Colorado" he said, there have
uO0h ICh CuA . VI oPoA doAC CANAl w al lCl
years full Of assaults, murders and dyna-
mitings too hideous to detail. have
myself seen men hunted upon the noun
tains like cartridges. Such things are
done quite openly, and no one denies
them. Yet in all this time there has not
been a single conviction for an offense
arising out of labor dispute.
'"This is the breakdown of democracy,
and If these conditions are to continue
democracy can only be regarded as
system Of government tempered by
ready revolution, when property seems
to be in danger. Comparisons, as Mrs.
Malaprop said, are odorous, but In no
country Of western Europe could any
thing approaching these conditions be
possible"
AS an indication of the general law
lessness of the country. Mr.. Martin
quoted the number Of murders COM
mitted here.
'"The United States" he said, com.
mits more murders than any European
country except Russia, and more even
than the 'unspeakable Turk In the
state of Georgia alone, according to the
testimony of Georgia Judge. more muir
ders are committed in year than in
the whole British empire

CRANBERRY GROWERS
TO MEET AUG. Is

On August Is there will be held a
meeting of the Wisconsin Cranberry
Growers association on the Gaynor-
Blackstone marsh. The method of
conducting the meet will be diff
ferent this year than it has been for
several years past, as the picnic fea-
ture will not be part of this years
meet. The picnic feature was too
regularly attended by an element who
had no interest in the meets other
than the dinner and it made too
much work for those who had the
affair ia charge. So this year in
vitations will be sent to all those who
it is thought would have any interest
in the affair, and the meet will be
more able to transact business than
with the old picnic feature. AS said,
the growers will assemble on the
marsh ON August 15.

1T has just begun to dawn on
some of the thinking farmers that the
crop reports issuedby the agricultural
department at Washington never
have and probably meyer will do them
any good. The fact that crops are in
certain condition does not help the
farmer any, while reports may lie a
great convenience to brokers and
spectators. In view of this fact,
then, why not let the exchanges and
commercial agencies prepare their
own crop statistics? AS matter of
fact government statistics never
increased crop by one pound. They
are used mostly to promote gambling
in cotton, wheat and corn"

1T is the opinion Of some very good
orchardists that most orchard insect
pests will not thrive as readily ia
cultivated as ia uncultiyated orchards.
This may be largely theory, and yet
there are those who claim to be sup
ported in it. Cultivated orchards
rarely suffer seriously from canker
worms. OF course there are number
of orchard pests, which do not go in
the ground in any stage of their life,
! such as the codling moth and tent
caterpillar. There are uncIltivatt d
orchards which are well taken care of
and should be considered more safe
than a cultivated orchard that is
neglected.
