 Napoleon overthrow the old Germanc empire in 1sO6 In it's place he established the Confedera ton of the Rhine. which continued until his downfall. In 1915. at the Congress of Vienna. the Germanic Confederation was formed. In 1866 Aus tria was excluded from the confederation and the hegemony of Germany was trans ferred to Prussia.
 Tn 1870, France, jealous of Germanys progress towards unity, declared what is known as the Franco-P -Prussian war. But the remarkable progress of the German arms brought about the unity France fought to prevent and the South German states joined the North German confeder- ation, and on January r, 1871, King Will liam assumed the imperial dignity under the title of Deutscher Kaiser.
 Little Is heard of the German Empress whom the Kaiser said represented the three Ks that make the perfect German hausfrau, Kucke (cooking), Kirche (church) and Kinder Children. At an exr position held at Berlin in 1896 the Emperor wished to buy costly Gress exhibited there which had a very long court train. but the Empress smilingly refused, saying: What would be the use with two or three boys always hanging to my skirts? Why, 1t would be torn in 4iffy."

Printing was discovered In Germany in 1436 by John Gutenberg. He went to John Fust, a rich goldsmith, and to Peter Schoffer, a professional copyist, to get help. Schoffer was to design the letters and Fust agreed to furnish the funds nec- essary to carry out the project. In 1457 the first printed book, the Latin Psalter, was issued, and five years later the first printed Bible. But as soon as Fust learned the secret, he demanded that Gutenberg should pay back at once the money which he had advanced, and when the impoverished inventor was unable to do so, Fust seized his printing press and blocks. and with the aid of Schoffer con- tinued to print the Bible. The rapidty with which copies were turned out and the exact resemblance one bore to an- other aroused the suspicious of the super stitious popuace who believed Fust was in league with the devil. Thus came the legend of Fust who sold himself to the devil for wealth, a story used by Goethe as the theme of one of the greatest poems in the German language.

The constitution of the empire bears the date of April 16, 1871. By its terms all the states of Germany form an eternal union for the protection of the realm and the care of the welfare of the German peo- pie. The supreme direction of the mili- tary and political affairs of the empire is vested in the king of Prussia, who in this capacity bears the title of Deutscher Kaiser. The Emperor represents the en- pire internationally and can declare war if defensive and make peace, as well as enter into treaties with other nations, and appoint and receive ambassadors. But when treaties relate to matters reg ulated by imperial legislation, and when war is not merely defensive. the Kaiser must gain consent of the Bundesrat or federal council, in which body, together with the Reichstag, or diet of the realm, are vested the legislative functions of the empire The Emperor has no veto on laws passed by these bodies.
 The Bundesrat represents the individ- ual states and it's fifty-eight members are appointed for each session by the respect i've states; while members of the Reich stag, 397 in number, are elected by uni- versal suffrage and ballot, since the latter body represents the entire German ma ton.
 The imperial authorities. or secretaries, do not form a cabinet but act independ- ently of one another under the general supervision of the chancellor. The titles of these authorities are: Chancellor of the empire, ministry of foreign affairs, imperial home office and representative of the chancellor, imperial admiralty, im- perial ministry of justice, imperial min istry of the treasury, and imperial min istry of the postoffice.
 The constitution provides for the en- tire liberty of conscience and for the complete social equality of all religious orders, but the Order of Jesuits is in- terdicted in all parts of Germany.
 There are now in the empire 35, 5,231, ,1O4 Protestants and 2, 0,S27913 Catholics.
 Every German capable of bearing arms has to serve in the standing army or navy six years-as q rule, from the end of the twentieth year until the beginning of the twenty-seventh year of age-al- though liability to military service be- gins on the completion of the seventeenth year.
 Germanys peace footing is estimated at 24.374 officers and 5S2,49S men, and al- though no statements regarding her war strength are published, it is estimated that under her present organization she would have more than 100000 trained men to place on the battlefield.
 Her modern navy consists of thirteen first-class battleships; twelve second and third class battleshps eight coast de- fense ships, nine armored cruisers, twenty first-class cruisers, nineteen other cruis- CTS, twenty sea- going gun boats, ten river gun boats, fifty-eight torpedo boat destroyers. 103 torpedo boats, 169 other vessels. Officers, 26f6; men, 376lO. Only Great Britain, France and the United States are greater in naval strength.

Dividing Water Districts.

PIERRE, g. D., June l.-(Special. )-State
Engineer Lea has divided the different
water divisions Of the state into districts.
Division No. /. comprised in the counties
Of Butte, Lawrence and Meade, is divided
into districts designated Little Mis-
souri,, Grand river Moreau river, Sulphur
creek, Belle Fourche and Elk creek, each
district being given the name by the stream
II borders. Division No. II divided into
districts designated as Battle creek. Fall
river South Cheyenne, In the counties Of
the southern hills; East Cheyenne and Bad
river In Stanley county, and White river
IN Lyman. Nothing has been done in di-
vision No 3. east OF the Missouri river, as
nothing has been attempted to bring that
division under the provisions OF the irri-
cation law. This work allows the definite
location Of a water right by division and
district, and is something which has been
necessity ever since the law went into
effect.
