whether this was due to reasons of econ

AL0OAL RIVERINQUIRY
EXTENSIVE HYDRO ECONOMIC
RESEARCH MADE.

The most extensive system OF hydro
economic research that has ever been at
tempted In any river basin has recently been
completed by the geological survey with re-
gard to the Potomac, and the results Will
be made the subject of special bulletin
The work was of especial interest to the
citizens of Virginia and of the District OF
Columbia for It's bearing fish preserva-
tlon and the question of forestation of
water sheds and the pollution of water sup
plies.
There were two reasons for taking up so
extensive an investigation of the Potomac.
The first was the desirability of studying
In detail some representative drainage area
running across the Atlantic coastal plain.
the investigation to include all matters hav-
ing even remote connection with the water
flowing from the basin; as the Potomac
river basin had already been rather extern
sively studied and convenient to the
national capital. Il afforded favorable
field for satisfactory and economical oper-
atoms. The second JASON for undertaking
this particular investigation was demand
which had been made by the citizens of the
District of Columbia, headed by the Fish
and Game Association AS result of this
agitation a preliminary report concerning
the pollution and It's sources was presented
to the Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia, who forwarded Ii to the United
States Senate, and that body ordered 1t
printed and issued a S a Senate document.

Long Words or ShortF

Which shall we prefer in speech and
writing? Almost everybody will vote
for the short word, and almost every
body will be voting for the best can
didate. The short words are usually
the strong words. They make up in
muscle and liveliness what they lack in
size, says the Manchester Union. And
they are readily in the eyes of men
who have thoughts that they wish to
lodge in other minds. A man who
should run out into the street and yell
"Conlagration! Confiagration! Con-
fagration!' when his house was burn
ing would be thought to be making a
jest Of the affair. And so In all mat
tiers where ideas are to be handed out

When King Henry VIII. assembled the

practice with the bow 0519 and for

Hence came, likewise, the incorpora-
ton of the artillery company in 1887,
for Henry himself was proud of the
national weapon and had shown him

TO be maryelouSly stout and expert in
It's practice. And yet when the six
.eenth century was fairly opened
French writers began to speak disre-
spectfully Of the English archerS, not
because those archers had failed to de-
telt their old enemies. but because
they had not met them in the open
field.

How Bone Tuberculosis Patients Are

1t is estimated that there are 10000
persons in the United States who are
crippled through bone tuberculosis, and
the pity of it is that they should re-
main SO all their lives when they might
be cured. There are nearly 5000 such
eases in the city of New York and an
effort is being made to give strength,
courage and health to as many as pos
Sible of these sufferers through treat
ment at the hospital maintained at Sea
Breeze by the New York Association
For Improving the Condition of the
Poor. Some 10000 of the poor of the
great city are benefited each summer
by longer or shorter stay at Sea
Breeze, which is at the northern end of
the famous Coney Island. The good
done there for persons afflicted with

Bowling is one of our games that
originated in the middle ages. The ex-
act date of its Introduction is obscure
but it has been clearly traced to the
thirteenth century. The first bowling
greens were made in England. In bad
weather these could not be used to ad-
vantage, and this led to the construc-
ton of covered bowling alleys.
