Conqucring the Colorado.

The first of the great American
rivers to be completely held in bond
age by a dam will be the Colorado.
The Laguna dam, twelve miles above
Yuma, Ariz., will be completed by
the Government in two years. 1t
will be 1890 feet long, and will be
secured at the ends in the mountains
which compress the Colorado at that
point into this narrow width. The
dam will consist Of three massive
concrete parallel walls, the spaces
filled with stones and the whole
width OF the dam on top 244 feet.
This great barrier will weigh 600, 900
tons, and although 1t will not rest
upon rock, its weight will be such
that not even the Colorado will be
able to dislodge It. In low water
the dam will back the river up and
afford irrigation for 100000 acres
of rich bottom land, and in flood time
the Colorado will thunder over the
lop.--St. Louis Dispatch.

At Fort Chipewyan, which is at

Yellow For Rruneftes.

Yellow is, indeed, a remarkable
color, serving in its different shades
both blonde and brunette. A beauty
with dead white skin and just a
shade of rose on the cheek, clad in
a gown of softest yellow with pillows
of creamy or snowy lace about her
neck. is a poem of loveliness. A
warmer tone of the ''sunshiny" color
has ravishing appearance worn by
a handsome brunette, her gypsy
beauty being just what is required
to bring out its artistic excellence.
And everybody knows what SER
viceable shade is the yellow brown

some tone or other of which will be
found to suit every grade of stature

Women and Dangerous Exhibitions.


The increasing popularity of dan
gerous exhibitions of the loop-the-
loop variety, in which women risk
their lives for the qualification of a
morbid taste of sensational enter
tainment. has led the British Home
Secretary to announce that the Gov
ernment will introduce legislation
to prevent such performances. The
present law in Great Britain prohib-
its the participation of minors in ex-
hibitions dangerous to life and limb.
1t is proposed to extend the act to
apply also to women. over forty
years ago Queen Victoria sent mes
sage to the mayor of Birmingham,
after fatal accident to woman
rope-walker in that city, expressing
her personal feelings of horror that,
one of her subjects-a female
should have been sacrificed to the
qualification of a demoralizing taste
for exhibitions attended with the
greatest danger to the performers.
Since then many persons have been
killed in such exhibitions, but the
law has not been changed. There is
no reason why this kind of perform
ance should not be prohibited out
rigst. Exhibitions of trained skill
in gymnastic and acrobatic perform
ances have some excuse for existence,
but wildly sensational and highly
elaborate mechanical feats in which
no artistic proficiency is required in
the performance lack this element
of justification. 1t would be wise II
the latter class of performance could
be wiped out. The difficulty. arises,
however, that a law like that pro-
posed in Great Britain would apply
to the skilled athletes as we'll as to
the objectional class of daredevil
performers. If women were forbid
den to take part in any exhibition
involving risk of life and limb many
professional gymnasts and acrobats
would be deprived of their means of
livelihood. Undoubtedly legislation
is needed to curb the evil of danger
GUS exhibitions, but it should be
framed discriminatory with due re-
gard for the rights of legitimate per-
formers.

A Woman's Invention.

"a woman" said a paper maker,
invented blue paper. 1t was by ac-
cident that she did it, though. Be-
fore her time all paper was white.
She was the wife of William
Eastes, one of the leading paper
makers of England in the eighteenth
century. In passing through the pa
per plant one day she dropped a big
blue bag into vat of pulp. Eastes
was stern chap, and so, since no
one had seen the accident, Mrs, Eas-
tes decided to say nothing about it.
THE paper in the vat, which
should have been white, came out
blue. The workmen were mystifed,
Eastes enraged, while Mrs. Eastes
kept quiet. The upshot was that the
paper was sent to London, marked
damaged to be sold for what It
would bring.
"The selling agent in London was
shrewd. He saw that this blue tint
ed paper was attractive. He declared
1t to be wonderful new invention,
and he sold 1t off like hot cakes at
double the white papers price
"Eastes soon received an order for
more of the blue paper-an order
that he and his men wasted several
days trying vainly to fill.
Then Mrs. Eastes came forward
and told the story Of the blue cloth
bag. There was no difficulty after
that in making the blue paper, The
papers price remained very high,
Eastes having monopoly Of making
it."--St. Louis Globe Democrat.

North Dakota Solves the AduItcra-
ton Problem.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" plan
which is applicable to foods, bever-
ages. materials used in the arts, etc.
A new law has recently gone into eff
feet designed to make IL impossible
to deceive people into buying inferior
and adulterated paint under the i'm
preston that they are getting real
paint, viz: pure white lead and lin
seed oil
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit
the inferior pigments. or mixtures OF
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left TO
the people to buy whichever they
wished
Under this plan, II any one wishes
to buy mixture of rock dust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting It. for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain lttle-sometimes no-real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practlced upon the buy
