SuperiOr Pre- CiSiOn.

A young American who is studying
at Oxford was struck by the care with
which his chambermaid cleaned his
desk without disturbing his papers. To
reward her he offered her some confec-
tons which he had brought from Lon
don.
Mary, wouldn't you like some of
this candy?"
"Ho, thank you, sir; yes, sir But,
hexcuse me, sir, this amt candy. it's
sweets"
Then she proceeded to give him a
lesson in the difference between sugar
or molasses candy and bonbons, choc-
olate confections and other sweet
meats or sweets"
THANK you for telling me the differ
ence, Mary" said the student, some
what amused. In America we call it
all candy"
"Ho, yes, sir, in America I fancy
it's all the same, sir; but in Hingland
we ave a nyme for heverythink."

100000 acres the engineers of the re-
clamation service are preparing sur
veys on a great many other projects
which will be undertaken us rapidly
as the fund expands and is returned
to begin work.
The Yuma project on the Colorado
river is of especial interest at this
time because it is located close to the
Imperial valley country on the Colo
RADIO desert where is located the largest
irrigation works, either public or pri-
vate, in the United States. Within
four years 100000 acres have been put
under actual irrigation in the Imperial
valley through the diversion of waters
from the Colorado river. Of this 1OO,-
OCO acres, almost half is in barley, TO-
900 acres is in alfalfa. On the Ameri-
can side of the Imperial valley there
are some $4,000 head Of cattle a large
part of which is dairy stock, and there
are 10000 head more on the Mexican
side
The Yuma project contemplates the
irrigation of land on both side Of the
Colorado river in California and Ari-
IONA The government has planned
for the ultimate extension of the canals
of the Yuma project twenty miles or
more from the Laguna dam ten miles
above Yuma to the Imperial valley.
When this is done the most arid por-
ton Of America not excepting Death
Valley will be all under irrigation and
highly productive.
Although the government contem-
plates irrigation works for the benefit
of homeseekers and endeaVOrs so far
as possible to undertake works with
the view of bringing water to avail
able government lands, yet in the event

divide their lands and to sign a con-

BIG ELEVATOR
IS DESTROYED.
LOSS OF THREE-FOURTHS OF A MIL
LION CAUSED BY FIRE IN
CHICAGO.
Elevator Owned by the Santa Fe and
Controlled by Harris-Scotten
Company.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 9.-[Special i
The Santa Fe elevator, containing S45,-
900 bushels of grain, was destroyed by
tire here today. The loss is S725,000
The building located at Twenty-sev-
enth and Wood streets, was a tive-story
frame structure covered by sheet iron
and corrugated steel. The fire is thought
to have been started by spontaneous
combustion in wheat bin on the top
story.
Explosion Spreads Flames.
An explosion was heard by several
workmen who hurried to that floor.
When they arrived they saw flames is
suing from one of the bins. Efforts were
made to eXtinguish the Gre. but after
short fight the men were forced to fee
from the building
Meantime the fire department had
been notified, but before the first de-
tachment arrived the flames had made
Roadway to the first floor of the build
ing and were beyond control.
Couldn't Get Water.
The fremen experienced considerable
difficulty in reaching the fire and i'll OBJ
tanning water, although twenty engines
and two ire tugs were at the scene. The
nearest water plug to the fire was more
than 200 feet away, while others were
almost 400 yards from the building.
The elevator is controlled by Harris
Scotch company, grain brokers, and
was valued at 100000. Forty or more
grain cars were standing on a side
track near the building when the fire
started. Engines were called and these
were moved under heavy risk by the
train crews. None of the cars burned.
Heat Drives Firemen Back.
Within fifteen minutes after the fire
had been discovered the entire building
was mass of flames. The heat was in
tense and the tiremen were forced back
from the building. An hour after the
and later the sides of the building gave
way. Hundreds of bushels of grain
flowed into the river from the north side
of the building.
The elevator contained about $40, 900
bushels of grain, of which about half
was oats.
A Spectacular Blaze.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacuiar that has occurred in years.
Large embers were carried across the
river to the north and fell among the
lumber piles in the yards of the John
Spry Lumber company, Hines Lumber
company and the South Side Lumber
company. To prevent a fire in the lum-
Der yards five engine companies We're
sent to the lumber yards to extinguish
several small fires which had been start
ed by the flying embers from the burning
elevator.
The elevator was 400 feet wide and
175 feet long. 1t contained sixty bins.
1t was located on the banks of the south
branch of the river. in a maze of rail
road tracks and docks.
Mr.. Scotch states that both building
and contents were fully insured.

FOURTEENTH CENTURY LONDON
Relic Revealed Through Dem olition of
Old BUILDINGS,

Relic Revealed Through Demolition of
Old Buildings.
All HallOws in the Wall is one Of
the London city churches which have
a special interest for the antiquary,
because adjoining it is a piece of the
old wall of London, says the Graphic
The church ITSELF however, is not q

The first church that stood on the
site, its north wall probably resting,
as the present one does, on the ancient
wall Of the city, was built, it is said
ing then 800 years old. Later the
church, of course, became Gothic, and
an old print shows it as a small build

thought little of it, for in his survey
he merely mentions that fact that the
church is called "Allhallowes in the

monuments Of his own period, and the
fact that the bounds of the parish con-
tain no great extent of ground, and

1t was the loveliest room the young
! girl had ever seen. The walls were q
subdued stone green. the curtains and
| general decorations were of the same
color, artistically touched up here and
there with gold. There was a soft old
| looking Persian rug that covered the
| whole floor, except few inches by the
walls. The floor of the windows were
bare save for some exquisite specimens
of skins which Ethel did not even know
| the names. Each of these windows was
tastefully and luxuriously furnished
There were two very fine paintings Oh

curiosties brought home by Captain

Ethel looked round her with a sense

/ took the look, and apologized for the
general untidinoss Of the room.

This was a genuine red-letter day for

in the Captains description of his trav-

of herself and her own affairs. Mr..
Mallett, too, was heartily pleased. And
