Los Angeles Giant Undertaking

The city of Los Angeles is to have a municipal water supply at a cost of 23 million dollars. In many respects the project which the taxpayers Of that city will be asked to adopt is one of the greatest of the kind ever un- dertaken. The initial cost, for surveys and water rights alone, will call for a bond issue of s1,250,0OO.
 The city will get the new supply from Inyo county, in the Sierras. 24O miles away. Thirty thousand inches a quantity which would be sufficient for the irrigation of the entire culti- vated area of the Salt River valley will be conveyed by a conduit across deserts and through mountain ranges to Les Angeles. And it is contemplat- ed that the supply will be sufficient for all southern California, and that ultimately san Diego, still further dis tant by 120 miles from the source of supply, will be furnished with water.
 A year ago five of the leading busi- ness men of the city were appointed to devise plans for an augmented wa ter supply. sufficient for the needs of the city both for the present and for generations to come. The commission CTS have just completed the plan above outlined-having secured op- tions on all the necessary property before announcing the scheme.
 That the plan will be approved by the people of Los Angeles would not seem to admit of doubt. The lack of water is the most serious condition with which the city has to deal. While the population has been increasing at a prodigous rate, the water supply has been steadily diminishing for several years The decrease has been due Q two causes-a lessened rainfall, and the taking of water from the San Fernando river by ranchers for irri- gation
 Twenty three millions is a stupen- dous sum for a comparatively small city to pay for a water supply. but there is no other source available, and the city cannot afford to reject the plan presented merely because of its cost A compensating feature. however, is the fact that a large revenue will be obtained from sales of the surplus water to other communities in south ern California, and it is estimated that the entire expenditure will be return ed to the city from the various rev enues within twenty years from the completion of the system.
 
 Tn cheerfully preparing to grapple with the tremendous problem before her, Los Angeles is manifesting the true western spirit

Burbank,s Great Work

While much is known, in a general way. of the results of hyDridizatiOn and selection of fruits, flowers and plants by Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa, California, comparatively little has been disclosed of the methods by which the wizard" attains the mar vicious success with which he has been populariy credited.
 The current Popular Science Monthly contains an interesting paper by Professor Hugo de Vries, of the University of Holland. which gives much information regarding Burbenks methods and achievements. In compa- ny with Professor Jacques Loeb, who is studying especially the origin of life, and other scientists, Professor de Vries visited Mir. Burbank at his ex- perimental garden and farm, and abun- dant opportunity was given for the study of methods and the observation of results. Professor de Vries states frankly that, to a degree, the visit, while instructive and extremely inter esting, was disappointing to Professor Loeb and himself. They had expected, or rather hoped, that Burbank had made some progress in the solution of the question of the nature and ori- gin of new characters. This was the fundamental idea, if not the ultimate aim, of the studies of both Professor de Vries and Professor Loeb. They learned. however, that while the num- Der of combinations produced by Bur bank in his selections and hybridiza- tions may be unlimited, yet the ere ation of new characters was entirely excluded. Although the prime object of the visit of Professor de Vries and Professor Loeb to the California wiz ard was not attained, they saw much which both interested and gratified them from a scientific point of view; and Professor de Vries. in his inter esting paper, has thrown much new light on the work of the experiment. CT. Technically, the writer declares, Burbank is a selective breeder. and neither is nor claims to be in any sense a creator.

NIadiVoStok

Six months ago the news that Japan was beginning operations against Vladivostok would have created a dis tinct impression abroad. Now it caus- es very little comment. The difference lies in the changed conditions. The recent occupation of Sakhalin put the Mikado's government in possession of Russian territory for the first time since the beginning of the war. and this was the only thing necessary to establish its rights to demand a money indemnity. Of course the Japanese position would be stronger if Vladi- vostok had already fallen into their hands. but as the case stands Baron Komura and MT. Takahira are able to enforce almost any demands they may make.
 The word VIadivostok means "Mis- tress Of the East" and so long as the port remains in Russian control Japa- nese interests will be menaced. It is Russia's only open port on the Pa cific. but even though 1t is the most southerly point on the Siberian coast it is still frozen up for almost half of each year. Port Arthur is lost to Russia forever, and the czar's minis ters will resist to the last any attempt to deprive them of the northern port. But it is essential to Japan's interests that the peace about to be negotiated be permanent, and so long as Russia retains Vladivostok there is no guar antee of such a condition. This point is likely to be one of the most bit terly contested questions that will be raised in the conference

The Bennington Affair

Secretary Bonaparte promises that the Bennington disaster will be tho roughly investigated. There has been vast deal of talk about an efficient navy. Yet it is now admitted that the gunboat's boilers had been under sus- picion for long time.
 It also appears that the Bennington. under the system established after the war with Spain, had only one officer on engineering duty an ensign assign ed to duty about six months ago. Officials in the navy department must have also known that he had not single warrant officer to help him. Inevitably, bitter criticism of this re- cent naval reform" is heard inside and outside the navy.
 Under the old system engineer of ficers received special training, spe- ciaI commissions and were a branch of the service distinct from the line. To- day every officer is supposed to be an expert in engineering, navigation, gun nery and so on; in fact, high class jack -all-trades on shiDboard.
 Engineer officers suffered from the silly notion that they were regarded as mechanics. They wanted dignity social distinction. as they saw it, pro- motion and glory along with line off, cers, and congress assented. The re- suit is that men inexperienced in en- gineering have been pitchforked into the engine-roOms. and non- -cOmmis- stoned officers have had oftentimes to bear the burden of the work without pay or honor.
 As a consequence, possibly as a CO., incidence-Secretary Bonaparte's com mission must decide which-the ex- plosion on the Bennington is only the latest and most serious of bad acci- dents in the navy within the last few years

LOOSE BUSINESS MORALS.

An Arctic explorer was praising the late William Ziegler. whose great wealth went in the past to fit out so many expeditions of discovery in the White North.
 "He was a man of the alertest wit" the explorer said. 'I never saw his equal in the hitting off of a persons character with an opposite story. Once. I remember. he was describing a flour merchant of loose business mor- als.
 MT. Ziegler said this manufacturer was like a certain grocer who called his clerk up before him one day and said:

Professor de Vries, while admitting in finding himself no nearer the solu- ton of the origin of vegetable life, does not withhold expression of h:s admiration for the practical work done by MT. Burbank. He was especially impressed by the enormous amount of work and time expended in attaining definite results. In the article of the Popular Science Monthly, Professor de Vries describes much in detail the many changes which MT. Burbank has made in fruits and flowers and plants. The story he tells of the transforma- tion of the lightly considered coast plum. absolutely unedible. into a pit less and altogether desirable fruit, covers several pages of the magazine, and other results of selection and hy- bridiZation receive consideration.
 The transformation of the ugly. spine covered cactus (the prickly pear of the Arizona deserts) into a wholesome and nourishing food for cat tie is recorded as one of MT. Burbank's greatest achievements. although the general benefit to mankind in the pro duction of more choice fruits. more fragrant and beautiful flowers, and in the production of more hardy plants. is by no means minimized, in the re- view of the California experimenter's work by the accomplished Dutch eoiart;St

Barrenness proceeds from some derange- ment of the distinctly feminine organs. Many of the common ailments known as ''female troubles" cause 1t.
