INTERESTING ORIGIN
OF THE BLACK WATCH

An Older soldier than even Field Mar
shall Haines is Sir Robert Rollo. whose
commission as ensign OF the Black Watch
is dated August TO- 1892, he having been
born more tnan n year before Waterloo
He is now a colonel Of the famous High
lanG regiment which received him when
William " was reigning. This regiment
had been raised by government nominally
TO put down smuggling and other Illicit
practices north OF the Highland line
Their real function, however, says a
writer in a Gaelic magazine. was TO
have an eye and watch for certain re-
bellius clans. Am Freiceadan dubh de-
rived its name, not from the color OF Its
tartan, as is usually imagined, but from
the highly unpopular character OF it's
functions Dubh in Gaelic. besides signi-
flying black, means dark or sad in a
moral sense. IL is not TO be supposed that
any numerous body OF Gaels relshed the
attention OF these Hanoverian Fenians
or that their hostility and suspicion were
like TO be diminished merely because their
watchers wore kits. 1t was an unpopular
service (as such services usually are),
and the men composing IL, however. m
dividually very respectable and blameless
naturally shared in the popular odium."-

HOW WE WILL HARNESS
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

A sl00oo,0oo dam 10 be built across the
Mississippi. furnishing force which
will generate 2l1 800 horsepower. is the la
test word in civil engineering circles. told
by w. +. Pringle In his article The Mis-
sissippi as mill stream" in the Techni-
cal World magazine for October. This
dam will furnish more power than does
Niagara Falls at the present time, and is
being promoted by a syndicate aggregat-
ing $500, 900 In capital who have al
ready spent $4,000 in preliminary surveys,
etc The article gives a clear account OF
the curious difficulties which had TO be
overcome in promoting this project
showing the government had spent 5000,
600 in building a canal for navigation OF
the river past the rapids opposite Keo-
kuk. Ia, and that the new waterpower
scheme would necessitate the overfood-
ing of this great national canal. But new
ertheless congress was induced to look
with favor on the undertaking. as the
promise was made, that, although all the
Federal works in the neighborhood would
be drowned out, new ones would be con-
structed without cost 10 Uncle Sam. and
that $4,000 a year would ultimately be
saved the government in the cost OF oper-
ating their canal II is expected that the
actual construction work on the dam will
commence the first Of the year

THE FLAG.

An entirely new school controversy has
arisen In Montoba, which is, IL is true,
so one-sided as perhaps scarcely TO be
regarded as a controversy, but which is
commanding much attention, not only In
that province and in the Dominion, but
also In the United Kingdom and through
out the British empire. lt has arisen
from the order OF the provincial ministry
that hereafter the Union Jack must be
flown during school hours above every
school which receives funds from the
public treasury. The government Will
provide the first flag for each school, but
the trustees will be required to replace
II when IL is worn out ana every school
which fails thus 70 display the flag during
school hours will forfeit it's right to pub
lie support.
We have become so accustomed TO such
use OF the American flag on schoolhouses
In this state. and IL seems TO US so emf
nently appropriate, that surprise is
caused by the news that this order OF
the Manitoba government has met with
some opposition and with unfavorable
criticism In that proVince.-New York
