DEADLY SCORPIONS
Have No Terrors For Moors, Who Do
 Not Fear the Poison.

From the Chicago News.
 Between the spiders and the scorpions those grayish, lobster-like foes of every living thing, which turk in old walls and beneath the debris of ruins, silent, pa tient, giving the sting that kills and then sucking the victims blood. there are points in common" writes F. G. Afialo, the traveller and writer of London. This very habit of sucking blood is shared by them. for the scorpion does not tear it's victims flesh with pinchers, like a cray fish. but sucks the juices through a small and tubular mouth not unlike that of spiders. Both of them breathe through lung openings In the abdomen, and in each the number of legs is eight, not six, as in insects. The latter class, which form the food of the smaller spiders are

 Babies Suffer Most.
 Henry Irving Dodge has recently pub lished, in a leading magazine, an article on food adulteration. It is hls second chapter of the article on this subject and is run under the caption, How the Baby Pays the Tax In this article 1t appears from the editors note that it was pre- pared with the cooperation of the chief of the division of foods of the United States bureau of chemistry. Mir. Dodge says; During the year 1904, 779s5 persons died in the metropolis. Of these 21,952 were under ? years old Health Commis- sioner Darlington says that one-half of the infant mortality Is due to stomach or bowel diseases. Babies under years old feed almost absolutely on milk.

 At the lower end of th1s vast swamp, near Momence. H., the extrusion of limestone ledge forms a natural dam In the river channel, checking its flow, and i'll flood times backing up the water for many miles. For many years this ledge was thought to be the key to the drain age of the whole valley, and upon its demolition already many thousands of dollars have been expended. While the excavation in the ledge and the con struction of many miles of canals and laterals have resulted in improving con- ditlons the real problem ot drainage is vet unsolved The work in the past has made it apparent that the removal of the ledge will not alone remedy the diff culty.
 The engineers ot the United States geological survey, who for several years have given the subject consideration, es- innate that if this large area is to be protected from inundation at every freshet provision must be made for discharge of water far in excess of that for which previous improvements have been made On a basis of the maximum flow of the river, which is estimated at 1200O cubic feet per second at Momence, and assuming that the cost of improve ment will be in proportion to the amount Of water to be carried, Engineer Hanna estimates that the cost for complete provision for flood discharge would be about S5.50O 900.

Value of Walking and Riding.

From the London Chronicle.
 A brisk daily walk, or a ride on horse back, beats any more elaborate forms of physical exercise for simplicity combined with efficiency. In walking especially if the ground is somewhat undulating, very large number of muscles are brought Into natural and easy play, sufficient. al any rate, 10 stimulate the circulation. which in it's turn compels full expansion of the lungs and due aeration of the blood. The professional or business man requires no more than this to keep him fit for his duties, provided he follows the ordinary rules of health in respect of bathing. eating, drinking and clothing. If he is afflicted with a sluggish liver, indigestion or inactivity of the alimentary canal as a whole, man may derive more benefit to health on horseback: but that is really curative form of exercise

Alternative plans of reclamation which present features requiring further study are as follows: Draining the Yellow riv- CT from a point near Ober, Stark county, Indiana, into Tippecanoe river near Ora, utilizing several drainage ditches and ca nals en route; carrying the waters from the Kankakee river across the divide down Monon creek into Tippecanoe riv- CT; carrying the waters of Kankakee riv- CT across the divide into Lake Michigan.

This era of agricultural expan-
sion has just started. Then, too,
there is still plenty of new land
being opened. There are no less
than three Indian reservations
in Montana, Wyoming and Utah
slated for opening before the fall
OF 1906. Ayoung man who gets
a claim on either of these reserv-
ations is independent for life.
There are no such opportunities
for land getting in the east,
where every foot of ground has
been under private ownership for
years, and where land is held at
high valuation. The young
man in the east finds his oppor-
tunities confined to those OF
business, and even in this there
is much more competition to
meet than in the west, where the
thrush Of a new population
makes new opportunities in all
lines. From the present outlook
the next ten years will be the
mostprosperousand progressive
decade the west has ever known.
Fortunate will be the western
young men who are wise enough
to take Horace Greeley's advice
at this day and to grow up with
a growing country.

This work begun in the far

ago, has transformed our coun-

our brothers in the east have

world outside extended to our

There is a great present rush
to Nevada to explore the old
state for valuable metals. Many
great finds have already been
made, many more will be, and
with every one money becomes
cheaper, that is, property will
become higher-more money will
be neaded to buy it. The more
money obtained the higher will
our nation be rated, for the ma
tions know that, as a rule, wars
aresettled by the longest purses.
We suspect that the bank state
