JAPANESE BOYS NAME.
IT is Changed at Various Stages OF
His Career as He Grows
Older.

Every British child can answer
the question: "What is your
name?" without hesitation, but
the japanese boy must think a lit
tie to make sure, for at various
periods of his life he has different
names.
He receives his first when he is
Just a month old. Then three diff,
ferent names are written ON three
slips Of paper and thrown into the
air in the temple while prayers are
addressed to the family deity.
That which falls first to the ground
bears the name the child is called
till he is three years old. Then he
receives a new name.
Ats the japanese boy receives
a new name in honor of his coming
of age. His name is changed again
on the occasion of his marriage
and on any advance in his position.
Even mortal illness does not end
this confusing state Of affairs, for
when death comes a new name is
given hin him by wii,icir presumably he
is known in the spirit world.

Tie latest idea in entertaining
halls from Paris and smart Swiss
towns where the season is begin
ming and where the thing now is to
entertain your guests ifnot entire
" ia the dark, at any rate in dark
ness or semidarkness, all the time.
AT a dinner party The hOrs
d'oeuvres and soup are served as
usual in a brilliantly lighted apart
ment and then, to the coDsterna-
ton of people who are new to the
idea, the tight goes out.
Then the door opens and the
servants come in carrying bril-
liantly illuminated dishes, con-
tanning the fish, and as each guest
takes bis or her portion they help
themselves to a light at the same
time and when everyone is served
the ELECTS fairylike.
Suppose the fish contains lob
ster in some form or other, the
electric light shade is in the shape
OF the head Of the lobster and sheds
a delightful red glow over the ts
BILE.
The most ingenuity, however, jE
shown when the ices are scT=1zda.
Generally a huge bird orlbeast,
basket orlcol0ucopis made of ice
Is wheeled into the room blazing
with light and filed with ices.
When each guest is served the
light goes out and only those OD
the plates illuminate the room.
When strawberry ices are served
the shades take either the form of
the berry itself in crimson or the
pure white blossom. These are
given alternately to the guests
and have the prettiest effect.
At a big Swiss hotel the ice is
served i'll this way every evening.
A favOrite design is a Swiss chalet.
This is wheeled in brilliantly illu.
minated In each apartment are
two lights and two ices, and when
everyone is helped the twinkling
lights die away and the chalet dis
appears on it's invisible wheeled
table.
Another popular way Of serving
the ice is the polar scene. Blocks
of glass represent the icebergs and
the electric light is swathed in
.cold-loOking blue, while the snow
is made of white ice cream. Some.
times a few white china animals
are placed in inches in the glass to-
give ygreater effect.

was planted about the time when Co.

HUGE IRRIGATION DAM.
ROCK BARRAGE ACROSS NARROW
CANYON IN MOUNTAINS OF
WYOMING.
Government Works Will Store Flood
Waters For Fertilization Of One
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Des-
crt Acres.

A quarter of century ago the
home of the buffalo, and later Il cat
tie aud sheep pasture, with an occa-
sional ranch house, the Big Horn
BASIN in Wyoming is now the scene OF
n great activity incident to the build
ing of one OF the largest of tile govern
ment irrigation works. Some years
ago Colonel Cody, better known as
Buffalo Bill, made survey OF the
Shoshone canyon, and i'll connection
with General Miles, projected Il com
pany to construct dam and irrigate
some G0.000 acres The necessary cap
ital however was not Forthcoming ana
when the national irrigation law was
passed, the government took up the
proposition. and large party OF en-
gineers has since been employed on
the preliminaries of a great work Of
desert reclamation.
The Shoshone River dashes down n
narrow canyon, with Jagged and per-
pendlcular walls, and ut Its narrow
est point the government has begun
the construction of the highest dam
ever built. 1t will cement together
the two canyon walls for 2l0 feet
above the streap. bed, and Its founda-
ton will go below the water line SG
feet additional. down to the solid bed
rock. The stream, where 1t passes
between these granite canyon walls, is
but 60 feet wide, and the dam will
form n great lake of J,GOO acres, with
n watershed of 1.2o0 square miles,
and storing enough water TO irrigate
15O. 900 acres through seven miles of
14-foot tunnels bored in the solid
rock.
Little Chance For Land Grabbing.
This will cost about So an acre to
be paid back to the government by
settlers, under the business-lilie pro-
visions of the irrigation law. The land
flood and then boiling over great rocks
itself is free under the homestead act,
and has been reserved by Secretary
Hitchcock from entry under the
Desert and other land laws not requir-
ing actual residence and home-build-
ing.
Few such picturesque and wildly
beautiful scenes can be found AZ this
Shoshone canyon. The river Is n sue
cession of foaming. rushing rapids, the
water courslng along in deep green
Hood. and then boiling over great rocks
and bouldcrs in white surge. Only

In the canyon proper the great

have detached themselves from the
mountains and rolled down thousands

wearing them away and polishing
