About by the Engineer. ,5:=tr*=
OF the various papers read at the
adjourned meeting of the British AS,
ISOLATION Of Johannesburg, none is Of
more practical interest than Sir c..
Scott Moncrief's on irrigation. Only
the man who has seen what has; been
done in Italy, in India, in Egypt anI
in California can appreciate the veri-
table romance of agriculture which
the engineer has brought about.
In India the irrigation~-can has
turned millions Of acres to fertility
and saved tens Of thousands of lives
which must have succumbed to- FAM
inc. In the Western States Of Amer
lca vast deserts have been converted
into orchards, and the land which
would otherwise be dear at SIS an acre
has become worth fifty. Much Of the
British triumph in Egypt is summed
up in the word irrigation. English
engineers Sir c. Scott Moncrieff
among >them-came from India after
the British occupation and have ever
since been engaged in some of the
greatest irrigation works in the world
so that Egyptian agriculture has de-
veloped beyond the dreams of the
most sanguine.
Whether extensive irrigation would
be good for South Africa or even pos
sible, Sir c. Scott Moncrieff old not
attempt to say, but there are many
who believe that agricultural progress
in South Africa will be small without
the help of, irrigation Saturday Re-

The Emblem Of Peace, which has
been adopted BY the great, powers Of
the world in their endeavor to amelio-:
rate the horrors Of war, strange to-
say, had its birth In the same city
where the first. American flag was;
made. It. was on oct. 12,N1ss1,: the
three hundred and ninety-ninth ami
yersary Of, the discovery of America,
that q committee Of 400 representa-
t1ves of peace advocates from the diff
ferent. nations OF the world met at
philadelphia to-: plan the first peace
congress ever held. Here, where the
first. star-spangled Banner was made
by the hands Of Betsy Ross, and in
the same, room where the Declaration
OF independence was signed, the
worlds ensign Of peace had its origin.

, The Duke of Abruzzi is clearly of
the opinion that the old proveEb, HE
who Is born to be hanged will never
be drowned" is correct in theory if
not in literal application. The duke
has been flirting with death ever since
he attained his majority and appar-
entity bears a charmed life, since he
has suffered no i'll effects from his
various automobile accidents, in the
most serious of which he was thrown
thirty feet over a hedge and yet was
not even seriously injured. He has
1ndulged> in fad for arctic explora-
ton, being compelled to abandon his
ship, which was caught in the ice
pack off Prince Rudolph island. He
has made innumerable ascents in a
balloon, is noted as one of the most
daring Alpine climbers in Europe and
now he proposes tempting fate by
hunting big game in central Africa.

New Ffannels for Waists,

Gay checked and striped flannels of
all colors of the rainbow are in for
autumn waists. Among them none
are more attractive than a white fan:
mel, striped at wide intervals with
bright colored tartan. A very smart
waist of this kind was sent to yourg
woman who means to stay at nor.A-
ern resort. The waist was hand
tucked in the front, bringing the
bright red plaid stripes close togeth-
or in the front. The full sleeves were
tucked, and were finished with a small
turned back cuff of tartan. Large
pearl buttons fastened the waist in
front. Black patent leather belts are
popular.

Anton Mas Too ShreWd.

Anton and August are two small
Americans, five and six years old, liv-
ing in a town through which runs
pretty river. Their mother gave them
strict orders to. stay away from the
banks, after playmate had fallen in
and narrowly escaped drowning.
The very next day the two little
brothers reached home in a suspicious
ly damp condition and the mother i'm
mediately took August aside and cross
examined him till he confessed that
they had been at the river against or
ders. Then she called Anton and
asked:
''Where were your
where did August say we were?"
asked Anton.
'*Never mind" said the mother.
s'Tell me where you were.;'
"Well,'' said. Anton, slowly and
thoughtfully, II was wherever August
said that he was.''
And off he stalked, showing plainly
that the incident was ended so far as
hewas concerned.

and since has been adopted, was the

white border. which expresses individ-

thought could be readily adopted by
each country. :. -

Carnegie presented the flags to-: The
Hague, where they were afterward
adopted as the international peace flag
for all nations. These two magnifi-
cent flags are made out of the finest
banner silk, trimmed with heavy silk
fringe, and measure six by eight feet.
The stars are silk embroidered, and
all those who sewed and worked upon
them represented as many different
nations as it was possible to bring
together. "
It is hoped that this white-bordered
flag will have tendency to enlighten
the people and develop a sense OF
peace, Justice and liberty throughout
the entire world.
