old Of Morals

A special to the New York Sun from
London says: The reason given for
the cars refusal to permit Grand
Duke Cyril to marry the divorced
Grand Duchess Of Hesse, Princess Vic
toria Melita Of Saxe-C oburg, is that
Cyril and his brother, Grand Duke
Boris, had prominent roles in a scan
dal which has been disclosed at Char.
kof. Both grand dukes were mem.
bers Of the so-called club, "Sybarites
Of Charkof," where indescribable or.
gies took place. The club had only
20 members, all sons Of the first fam
lilies Of Russia.
No males, except members, were al.
lowed to enter the club, which was a
palace of white marble. All the ser.
wants were females. Women guests,
however, were welcome. The annual
subscription to the club was $1,000, but
there were enormous extra expenses.
All food was served on gold and silver
plates. The drapery was Of the cost
lest material and was embroidered
with jewels after designs by Cyril.

SALTON
BASIN
FLOODED
Colorado River Leaving its
Channel and Making an
Inland Sea

The flood situation on the Colorado
river is far more serious than is pop
ularly supposed, according to officials
OF the reclamation service. They de
clare that the Colorado river is actual.
ly in process of abandoning its chan.
mel to the Gulf of California and pour.
ing its entire flood into Salton Sink.
This would mean the submerRing of
the whole Imperial valley with tho de.
struetion of farms, irrigation works and
railroads, leaving 5000 people homeless.
The reclamation service today gave out
the following statement regarding the
situation:
"a combination Of peculiar topo-
graphic features and prolonged foods
has wrought great havoc in Southern
California and Northwestern Arizona,
and a still greater calamity threatens
settlers unless immediate steps are
taken to keep the Colorado river be.
tween the banks Of rs original chan.
mel. The silt borne down from the
mountains through past centuries by
the Colorado river has built up a great
delta and gradually raised the river
bed until the water flows on ground
nearly 300 feet above tho basin, which
long since has been dried out by evap
GRAFTON. In 1904 the California De.
velopment company cut a canaT about
four miles below the Mexican boun.
dairy opening a short cut from the
river to its main canal. No headgates
were provided and during the high
water period of the past winter the
banks Of the canal eroded and the
ditch deepened until over 80 per cent
Of the flow Of the river was running
through the canal into Salton Sink.
Unsuccessful attempts were made
to shut of the flow into the canal and
there's a grave possibility OF the
river abandoning its present channel
to the Gulf Of California and forming
an inland sea in salton Basin. The
flooding Of this basin means the posi-.

lean side and the destruction OF 100
miles Of the Southern Pacific railway,
Opposite the heading Of the canal
through which the water is now rush
ing lies a long island and an attempt
is being made TO divert the river TO
each channel around this island by a
dixie about 5000 feet up stream from
the canal heading. This diversion, II
successful, may work serious injury to
the Yuma irrigation project, as now
planned by engineers Of the reclama'
ton service, but, if the river Is prop.
erly handled, il is believed the damage
will be slight compared with the great
er evil Of allowing it to flow into the
sink.
GAS the greater part Of the damage

What is perhaps Dame Natures big
gest laboratory has been purchased by
syndicate Of Americans. 1t is To-
Gated In the crater of the historic
smoking mountain Of Mexico, the Po-
pocatapetl of the Aztecs. The trans
action, whether regarded as a real es-
tate transfer or an industrial deal is
interesting by reason of its novelty.
Popocatapetl has been on the whole
rather benefcient volcano than 9TH
erwise. Instead of porting out floods
of lava and ashes like Vesuvius 1t has
furnished for a century or so n prac-
tically meXhausitable supply of sui
phur. The world has long been aware
of this fact and the sulphur mine has
been worked by native labor, though
on a necessarily small scale, since
heretofore ithas been well-nigh inacces-
sible The mountain is over 1T,OOC
feet high and for 1900 feet is covered
with a dense growth of forest. The
crater itself is three miles in circum-
ference end 1000 feet deep.
These natural obstacles in the way
of extracting and marketing the vast
sulphur deposits in the crater are to be
overcome by constructing a railway
from the village at the base to the
summit. The mountain was pui.
chased some years ago by a syndicate
of wealthy MeXicans, who. however
failed to develop 1t and have now sold
ont 10 the American canitalists The
undertaking will be large one, but by
applying modern methods the output
Of sulphur can be made enormous
while the timber which clothes the
mountain sides has large commercial
value. Certainly it will establish a
new and unique industry in Mexico
though thousands Of old Aztecs will
doubtless turn in their graves upon
realizing such a PROCLAMATION.
