taking and thorough study By highly

Province Of Manitoba in the Dominion
of Canada and three of the states OF
this country are involved. The con-
struction Of great reservoirs to store
food waters will be necessary, and
the navigation interests Of two coun-
tries must be considered.
Even If the citizens of the Red river
valley in North Dakota alone were
concerned there would still be many
conflicting interests to be harmonized
and some broad and comprehensive
plan should be followed. It would
appear that the, only solution to the
problem would be the passage of a
broad act providing for some form Of
central supervision and the possibility
of cooperation with the federal
government. ""s

OUR DRAINAGE LAWS.

At the annual drainage convention
held at Fargo December nth and 18th
a new drainage code that was pro-
posed for the state was discussed at
considerable length and a commission
consisting of a number of prominent
attorneys Of the Red river valley
counties and the state engineer was
appointed to consider the matter In all
It's details. The questions involved
are Of very great Importance and
should have most careful considera-
zion for approximately two million
/. acres in this state are in urgent need
of drainage.
e is argued, on the one hand, in
favor OF retaining our present laws as
they are or, AT the most, making only
such amendments as are found to be.

time, that the present laws are suffi-
ciently good, that drains are being
constructed under them with as little
delay as Is advisable, and that, most

IN the courts to be consti tutionai and
efficient
On the ether hand 1t IS argued that

THE TAIL OF A COMET.
Its Ever ChnnEins Ainss and Why II
Flees From the Sun.

The tail of comet Is not formed of
the same particles which composed it
yesterday or even an hour or q moment
ngo. 1t is constantly being renewed at
the expense OF the nucleus. AS the long
stream of black smoke from the neigh
boring factory or mill is being continu-
ally renewed by fresh particles OF car
bon released by the combustion going
on in the furnace below SO Is the won
derful luminous train OF cometary bod.
les being constantly rcplcnIshed by
purticlcs flying from or rather driven
from the nucleus by the intense heat OF
the sun
Then, again. how Infinitely small and
how intensely luminous must these par
tlcles that go to make UP the tail of
colnet he! This thought ~ suggested by
the fact that 1t has hecn proved that In
some cases the nucleus OF comets which
are only II few hundred miles In diume-
ter will have enormous fnnlike tails
stretching across space for distance
exceeding 200,uun.0GO miles and having
bulk exceeding that of tile sun by
more than 10000 times! Professor %.
L. Barnard beautifully illustrates the
formation Of comets tail by .'suppos-
Ing thus: suppose, for example, that
the nucleus OF comet is composed OF
Ice. Then suppose the heat of the sun
to be so intense us to rapidly melt that
portion Of the ice globe exposed to the
action OF its rays. which are strong
enough to Immediately convert 1t into
vapor which ascends toward the sun.
"llnngine now fierce wind blowing
out from the sun. causing the vapor
which meets it to be whrled out Into
space behind the comet. This will
clearly illustrate the theory of the for
nation of q comets tail, only that the
nucleus of the comet Is not Ice and the
vnpor Is not water vnpor, neither Is the
force which drives 1t away from the
sun Il fierce wind"
Tile unknown force limited ut by the
astronomer above quoted readily ex-
plains why Il comets tnil. as q rule,
points In an opposite direction to the
sun. The Russian astronomer Brcdie-
chen distinguishes three different types
OF cometary tniis--those composed OF
PARTICLES having the specific gravity OF
hydrogen. those having the specific
gravity of hydrocnrbon gus and third
class having all the pcculIarltes Of On
equal mixture Of hydrogen aud Iron
vapor.
