Throw physic to the dogs!" Mac
beth might not have given vent to this
disdainful exclamation II he had re-
ceived a certain circular which had
fallen into the hands of a French gen
tleman, as he would have perceived
that the canine species is not consid
ered unworthy of the dignity Of mas
sage. According to the Paris CORE
spondent the scrap Of paper in ques-
ton contains a little tariff with re-
gard to what can be done for the i'm
provement of the appearance of the
friend of man. Thus, 40 francs is
charged for "the change Of the shape
of the muzzle," 80 francs for putting
wrinkles into the face of a bulldog"
20 francs for transformation Of a
hanging ear into a straight one, and
vice versa" and upward Of 100 francs
for the arrangement of the forepaws
of a bulldog. For the "change Of the
size of a tail" 20 francs are asked, the
color being altered for 80 francs. The
author of the circular also undertakes
to pull out superfluous hairs at the
rate of 8 francs an hour. So, at least.
the French gentleman declares, and at
any rate the story is creating a good
deal of merriment.-New York Trib-

Experiments Made by the Engineers
In Charge of Ditch At suez.
1t has beer discovered by the engt-
eer who are occupied with the main
tenance of the SueZ canal that h best
of all methods of protecting the banks
from crumbling and decay is provided
by the natural growth of reeds which
fringe the channel for some distance
below Ismailia on the African side,
and some rather interesting attempts
have beer lately made to plant new
beds in other parts of the canal.
1t is stated that the local species of
reed with which the experiment has
been so far made will not live in salt
or very brackish water in the early
stages of its growth, though 1t will
bear transplanting later, and that at
present the serviceableness of the nat
ural means of protection is
~quently limited.
Where the water is sufficiently free
from brine, however, the network of
roots is found to put a facing on the
loose soil of the banks more success
full and permanent than a wall of
brick or stone. and it would probably
not be difficult to discover and estab-
lish some coarse sedge or other plant

mountains send raging torrents through the canyons. and in some, places az annual overflow Is always looked for.
 There are three channels of dis tribution for the floods; some of tho overflow enters the bed of an ancient river, called by the Mexicans the Ala mo, and flows westward 40 or, 50 miles, then turns to the north and af- ter another 50 miles empties into the Salton sea. Another portion is car- ried into Volcano lake, and here q strange separation takes place; part of the water flowing down to the gulf, others northward to Salton. But the desert atmosphere was wont to evap- crate the water so rapidly that speed fly after an afterfiow the basin would be found practically dry. An unfore- seen result of some recent Irrigation project has lately filled the unusually dry bed of the Alamo, the water working it's way by this passage through to the Salton sink. Fears are entertained that the entire valley between the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains, will be flood4 ed. These mountains enclose the sink on three sides, on the fourth seds imentaryl deposits are piled up many feet above sea level.

The great Colorado desert of southern California, the scientists tell us, is "a more pronounced desert than those parts of Sahara where reg | ular meteorological observations are made" But to-day one may go by boat over the large part of this pro- nounced desert," it is with the inun- dation of the Salton basin of Colorado river this article is to treat.
 First let us consider the course taken by the Colorado river and the certain features of the desert region. The great river rises in the south western part of Utah and flows through the southwestern plateau. After the river emerges from the Grand canyon it turns abruptly south and, forming the western boundary of Arizona, flows through a low desert region, emptying into the Gulf of California a little distance below the United States boundary line.
 The Colorado desert extends from the Colorado river westward to the bases of the coast range of Saa Diego county. A considerable DOT tion is below sea level, was once a portion of an ocean bed, as shown by the remains of sea animals and the immense deposits of salt-the salt industry Is very important industry in southern California.

A Few Notes on What is in Style

wash silks, and pongees are not so very expensive when you consider their wearing qualities. Pongee dust cloaks are most satisfactory. especial. ly useful for summer and early fall days. A pongee shirt waist suit makes an ideal travelling dress or street dress for the city.
 In spite of assertions to the con trary, chemisettes are to continue in style: it is dainty and becoming fashion and one we cling to.
 Lace-work stockings are favored over embroidered ones. and may be had in all qualities. from the finest silk down to cheapest thick cotton. White shoes and hose will be even more in demand than last year.
 Where do the intricate crochet faces all come from. The other day we were almost moved to the rudeness of asking a stranger where she had dis covered the lovely cuf and collar set of crochet she wore. Her frock was very plain but given distinction by the elegant neckwear. The coat sets now affected look so clean and give just the right amount of adornment to a street suit. and in each letter we feel like emphasizing their desirs5lility.

crystal buttons. In using green with blue the advice is to avoid over much of verdancy. just enough to give life and mere suggestion of color.
 There Is nothing in spring styles more chic than the smart little Etons They are as natty as can be with their slashed-up backs and rounded fronts edged with accordion plaited silk frills. We have in mind an inexpen sive suit of very good style, a gray material dark in tone. It was made with a skirt that fitted close to the figure at the waist and then swung out in some mysterious fashion into decided fullness about the ankles The jacket was one of the half loose Etons, gay with frills of dark green silk, most effective with the slate gray. The hat was a black chip point ed in front, dented in elsewhere, and trimmed with damask roses. A black veil, one of those affairs with but two or three large dots, beauty patches ,' completed modest yet colorful cos tune.
 Actresses set the styles for us and It may be we'll to chronicle the cos tune worn the other afternoon by one of the most distinguished women mem. bers of the profession. To speak rhap- sodically, we would call the costume spring song-or at least a poem. It was of that loveliest olive green, the green of unopened leaves. The ma terial was some silky transparent stuff. the skirt had a long train, the coat was tight fitting with very long basques; sleeves came just below the elbow. where they were met by white gloves. The hat was long and mar row and single plume added to the length of line at the side. A veil matching the gown exactly was draped over the hat and fell about the shoul- ders. The charming ensemble be- spoke Paris creator.

time a portion of the. desert was the
 basin of a fresh water lake, in recent | times f1oodings from the Colorauo
 river have produced temporary shallow lake known as the Salton sea.
 The part of the desert that is be
 low sea level is called the Salton
 sink. In the past six months a great
 change has taken place here, the
 water turning from channels long fol.
 lowed which lead into the Gulf of California and following new course leading to the Salton sea, inundating the Salton basin. A correspondent of the New York Herald. writing from Yuma, Arizona. tells of a most ex-
 citing trip recently taken by boat over a large part of the Colorado desert--a strange voyage indeed! The writer speaks of the interest the desert region has long had for him and adds: Most interesting of all at the present moment was the Salton seq.
 Its rapid rise: its flooding of the main line of the Southern Pacific rail- way. necessitating the building of some 40 miles or so of new track upon higher ground; the fears expressed by some of the settlers near Mecca and in the Imperial valley that ere long they would be swamped out of existence: the wild and fantastic the ories propounded by the thoughtless and sensational 10 account for the existence of the sea, as for instance it was caused by subterranean in- flow from the Pacific ocean; the fact that the whole Colorado river was pouring into 1t and that desperate efforts had been made and still were being made to check the mad flow: the equally interesting fact that, many years ago. Dr. ]. P. widney. who af- terward became the president of the University of southern California. strongly advocated the national gov ernment's doing what is now being so strangely accomplished: the fears expressed that the growth of the sea would change for the worse the cli- mate of the salton basin-these and many other considerations determined me to go and follow the hitherto un- followed course the oyerioved Colo rado directly into the Szlton sea.
 It Is with regret we turn from fol- lowing the adventures of the party of whites and Indians on their way through the -deviIish- mesquite. over rapids. escaping underneath banks. until at last they are again in the main current of the channel.
