with peculiar pleasure.
Many persons are greatly interested in
the Potomac for its historical associations.
The best story that is told OF this section
is that the site of Cold Spring Gap camp.
some five miles above this city on the Vir-
GINA shore, just above High Island. Is the
spot upon which Capt. John Smith was cap
tured by the band of Indians, who after
ward took him down into what is now Vir-
ginia, and only saved his life because OF
the pleadlngs Of Pocahontas. The English
adVenturer was exploring the Potomac, IL IS
stated, and had just stuck his boats Prov
into the little stream that comes down the
hill here when the Indians bounced out and
caught him. There are some records to sub
>stantiate this story, and the members of the
Cold Spring camp love to tell 1t. as do all
riyermen.
An article on the Potomac would not be
complete without mention OF the flora OF
It's banks and islands. High Island botani-
cally is known far and wide. The botanists
OF the Department of Agriculture say that
dozen or more herbaceous plants are
found along its lower slopes. which grow In
no other locality near Washington, as far
as can be learned. and are in fact an ex-
treme rarity elsewhere. Seeds of these
plants have apparently been washed down
the river from far western points, and have
found a Judgement upon High Island which
mas become their extreme eastern habitat
Birds of various descriptions are also found
along the river, and many ornIthologists
make practice of spending days in the
vicinity studying the little winged crea-
lures. Farther up the crane and bald eagle
are found IN goodly numbers.

Should the estimates of the officials OF the
reclamation service prove correct the popu-
lation of the state will be doubled. Great
impetus will also be given to the mining
industry in the region, inasmuch as the in
creased food supply will reduce the cost of
living to many individual prospectors who
are now practically barred from the re-
gion because of the difficulty in getting
provisions and their great cost when obtain
able.
The execution of this great federal project
of Improvement will materially change the
topography of the country. The water to
supply the reservoirs and canals in the sys-
tenn will be taken from the Truckee and
Carson rivers Both these rivers have their
sources in the Sierra Nevada mountains
and flow eastward almost parallel to each
other for a considerable distance, but about
forty miles apart. AT the base of the noun
tain range the Carson turns toward the
south The original easterly course of the
Truckee is changed at point about ten
miles above the town of Wadsworth, and
by means of wide canal. thirty miles long,
all the waters of the Truckee are turned

c. Russell of the geological survey made a
careful investigation of the desert region
and in his report gave picturesque de-
scrfption of the scenery as follows:
con the desert valleys the scenery is
monotonous in the extreme, yet It has a
desolate grandeur of Its own, and at times,
especially at sunrise and sunset, great rich
ness of color At midday In summer the
heat becomes intense and the mirage gives
strange. delusive shapes to the landscape,
and offers promises of water and shade
where the experienced traveller knows there
Is nothing but glarfng plains.
1.-THE glare of the MONDAY sun conceals
rather than reveals the grandeur of this
rugged land, but In the early morning and
near sunset the slanting light brings out
mountain range after mountain range in
bold relief and reveals a world OF sub
Unity. AS the sun sinks behind the west
ern peaks and the shades of evening grow
deeper and deeper the mountains, every
ravine and canyon becomes a fathomless
abyss of purple haze. shroudlng the bases
of gorgeous towers and battlements that
seem inCrusted with a mosaic more brill
| liant and intricate than the work of the
Venetian artists"
! 1t is a part of this barren country, the
| bed of a former interior lake, that the
| officials and engineers of the reclamation
| service In the geological survey expect to
bloom and produce like a garden of plenty.
| after the vast irrigation projects have been
completed and the water has been suffi-
| GENTLY distributed over the sandy plain.
| The faith of the 'reclaimers" Is backed by
| millions of Uncle Sans dollars. and faith,
| together with plenty of money, has been
known to work wonders.

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
Test to Distinguish Genuine From the
Spurious.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Once upon a time there was a smoker
who spent eight of the best years of his
lie coloring meerschaum pipe, only to
md at the end of that period that he had
peen nursing piece Of ''massa-kopfe" IN
stead of the genuine ''ecume de mer" The
'massa-kopfe'' is a composition made OF
the parings of genuine meerschaum and a
mineral clay. The parings are triturated
to fine powder, boiled in water and
nodded Into blocks, with or without the adj
dition Of clay: each block is then cut Into
bowl. but as 1t contracts considerably it
must be left some time to dry. These bowls
are distinguished from the genuine meer-
schaum by their greater specific gravity.
but there Is no absolutely certain test by
which the real meerschaum can be told
from the composition.
In forming a pipe from "ecume de mer''
the silicate Of magnesia is prepared for the
operation by soaking in a composition of
wax, oil and fats. The wax and oil abb
sorbed by the meerschaum are the cause of
the color produced by smoking: the heat
or the burning tobacco causes the wax and
fatty substances to pass through the stages
or dry distillation, and becoming asso-
ciated with the products of the distillation
OF the tobacco they are diffused through
the substances of the bowl, producing those
graQatlonS OF TINT winch are so much priced.
In some the bowls are artifcIally
coloIed by dipping them. before being soak
ed In wax, in a solution of sulphate OF
iron. either alone or mixed with dragons
bioo0.
Good meerschaum Is soft enough to be
indented by the thumb-nail. 1t yields readi-
ly to the knife. especially after having been
wetted. There are various densities; some
kinds sink in water. others float on Its sur
face. Those of medium density are pre-
ferfed by the pipe-maker. for the light
varieties are porous, and even cavernous;
and the heavier kinds are often made up
artifcially. Many judges assume that the
heavier kinds are spurious. but there Is no
absolute proof that such is the case. A
negative test may be mentioned: the COM
position bowls never exhibit those little
blemishes which result from the presence
of foreign bodies in the natural meer-
schaum. Therefore. if a blemish occur In
q meersChaum bowl-which Is very fire.
quently the case-the genuineness OF the
bowl is rendered most probabIe; but as
blemishes do not show until after the bowl
has been used for some time the test Is not
Of much value.

of years and left in their stead the great
American desert.
The bed of this ancient body of water. the
great interior desert Is the stretch of coun-
try that travellers from coast to coast are
because of its extremely desolate appear
ance. The landscape in this region resem-
bles the parched and desert areas of Arabia
or shores of the Dead sea and the Caspian.
The valleys separating the mountain ranges
are deserts. totally destitute Of water and
sign of vegetation is the scraggly sage
brush. In the summer the sand Is baked
and hardened that it scarcely receives
the impression of a horses hoof.
No stream that rises within this region
carries its contribution to the ocean, but all
of the rain that falls inside the rim Of the
basin is returned again to the atmosphere
either by direct evaporation from the soil
or after 1t has found its way into some of
the lakes or sinks in the Irregular surface
of the land.
The rivers are not all perennial. Some
disappear before the heat of summer. In
the streams which perennial high
percentage of the annual discharge is
crowded into brief period toward the end
of the rainy season. Thus the arteries OF
this parched and heated country make but
one feverish pulsation in year Some OF
the streams are lost on the thirsty desert
before the waters have Travelled far from
the source.

town. There are several dwellings besides
the lock house, and at any of them milk
and other country fare may be obtained.
The typical country store is also in evil
dence. The features of the place are the
big dam across the river, which feeds the
canal here. and the red stone aqueduct, on
which the canal crosses Seneca creek,
little tree-lined stream, navigable to
canoe for nearly mile.
About Seneca there are innumerable good
camping places A fayorite spot is on the
Virginia shore about a mile above the dam.
No more attractive route can be desired
than the river for the next twenty miles.
Whatever one does he should not forget
to leave the canal at Seneca and carry down
to the river. If this Is not done you are
sure to become Disguised with the trip,
for the canal along this stretch Is far from
attractive. But the riyer-wsll. the river
