WASHINGTON. Dec 5.--"No na- tional work under the Reclamation Act has attracted more general inter- est, and none has been more widely advertised, than the Salt River project in Arizona" said c. J. Blanchard, sta ustician of the Reclamation Service, who has just returned from an extend ed trip through the West.
 Aside from its engineering feat ures, several of which are stupe1dous and spectacular, the charm and mys- tery of the Iegicn ir which the work Is going on. appeals strongly to all who have studied the history of the coun try. The Salt River Valley has been inhabited at different times by three races, each making use of irrigation in agricultural operations.

The feature of the week in the War ren district was the strike of a big ore body at the Denn-Arizona- The interest lasted all week, and at the lose of the Saturday trading Denn- Arizona stock had recorded an ad- iance of e25.0o per share. or a total increased valuation of 1875 .000.00 for "a company with a capitalization of only 375o.000.
 Local brokerage offices did a rush. ing business in Denn stock from the opening on Monday morning until the ioors closed on Saturday afternoon, md during the course of the week, several small fortunes were made on he manipulation of the stock.
 The strike of ore in the Deen means more than any other strike of ore in he district. It serves to broaden the known mineral area and will prove an incentive for further development work in that locality with almost as- sured success for the finding of ore bodies on the American-Saginaw and Warren ground.
 Following the rich ore strike in the Denn comes the announcement from Duluth that the directors favor the immediate reorganization of the Denn into mining company. and this will undoubtedly be the program in the event that the Denn shaft gets into ore before the first of the year. Fritz i. Harrington. the well known mining engineer, writing of the development work in the Warren district and parti- cularly with reference to Denn-Ari- zona, says:
 (By F. L. Harrington.)
 The developments as the results of the operations of the different com panies in and about Bisbee, beginning with the formation of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company, have. almost without exception, been of 3 very satis- factory nature.
 The Calumet & Arizona is already widely known as large producer of copper and dividend payer, so 1t will hardly be necessary to mention 1t here, any more than to say that it has large ore reserves and also a hand some treasury surplus. and will con tinue to pay dividends and develop

DULUTH. Minn., Dec. l4. = The wrecked steamer Manistique and the steamer Ire.and collided near here tonight. The lrieand was disabled, and the tug Crosby, which was assiet- ing the Manistique. took the crew off the Ireland. and in doing so lost one man.
 The Crosby came into Bayfcld and reported the loss of life. and then re- turned to look for the Manistique. but at late hour tonight reports that she has been unable to find any trace of the Manistique IL Is feared that the boat and her crew of 3l men are lost. There is a heavy sea running, and the Ireland. which is at anchor near Apostle Island, is in danger.

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
Punishmeuts That Are Melted ONT b
British Sailors.

Punishmeat ats That Are Melted ONT 30
British Sailors.
For infTaction Of regulations some
curious punishments are melted out In
the English navy. 1t is an everyday
occurrence, says London Tit-Bits, to
see half dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing the paint work, holding
their hammocks on their shoulders At
first the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
or an hour or so it drags on ones shout
ders like lead Besides, 1t is not at ali
entertaining to stare fixedly at square
foot Of painted woodwork for an hour
or more at time.
Another punishment that Jack de-
spises is bailing with a spoon. He is
placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filed with water
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer 1t to the other, being,
meanwhile, the butt of his comrades
jests and jeers
Sometimes a delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck, nursing in his arms
six inch projectile, weighing a little
over 100 pounds Once a sailor, who
laughed at the stammering speech Of
his commander, was made to stand up
on the forebridge. in full view of the
ships crew, and laugh for an hour and
a half.
Splitting upon the deck of man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships, when a sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck, small tub is strapped
to his chest, and he is made to wear It.
Any one who chooses may use this
walking receptacle The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.

In this simple way they strive to carry

The Color of water.

After long hesitation scientific men
agree in admitting that water physical
ly pure seen in mass is sky blue This
color is that taken by the white light
of the sun when absorbed by the water
In consequence of a phenomenon the
explanation of which would be little
long. 1t is not due to the chemical pu-
rity of the water, since the sea, which
Is the bluest water, Is also that which
contains the most salt Nevertheless,
according to Forel's experiments, the
matter In solution should be the pre-
dominant cause of the modification Of
color, upon which act besides the mat
ter In suspension the color of the bot
tom and the reflection of the sky and
of the banks. Consequently blue water
is pretty rare in nature. A good many
seas and lakes that give us the impress
sion of this tint are green. The water
at present acknowledged to be the
bluest is that of the Sargasso sea, be-
tween the Cape Verde islands and the
Antilles. The water of the Mediterra-
mean off the French coast and around
Capri is bluer than that of Lake Lee
man, much less blue itself than that of
the lakes of Kandersteg and Arolla, In
Switzerland.-Paris ILLUSTRATION.

A POTTERY TOWN.


CnAn8teChen In unlike ANY other
Place In China.
For at least 900 years the town
Chingtechen, in China, has been devot-
ed to the making Of pottery. Every
thing in Chingtechen belongs to the
porcelain and earthenware industry.
The houses are for the most part built
of fragments either of old kilns or Of
the fire clay covers In which the porce-
lain Is stacked during firing. The riv-
er bank 10 for miles covered with a
deep stratum of broken chinaware and
chips OF fire clay, and the greater part
Of the surrounding country are built
over or composed Of similar deposit.
Chingtechen is unlike anything else
in China. The forms, the color, the
materials used in the buildings, the at
mOsphere, are reminiscent of the poorer
parts of civilized industrial center.
There are 104 large pottery kilns In
the town. The greater part are In use
only for a short season In the summer.
During this busy season the population
of Chingtechen rises to about 100000
souls, but of this total nearly half are
laborers drawn from wide area Of
country, who come for the season. live
In rows of barracklike sheds and do
not bring their families with them.
Visitors to Chingtechen pass along
street after street where every shop Is
occupied by men, women and children,
all engaged In the designing, molding.
painting or distributing of pottery.
The river bank Is crowded for three
miles by junks either landing material
and fusl or shipping the finished prod

In addressing newly married couple

1t Is not looked upon as good form

When taking lady in to dinner or at

At one of the English country inns
Hook and Mathews once got up mock
quarrel before a large company The
wit and the comedian each appealed
most earnestly to the sympathy of the
company, who, with the true British
prediction for anything in the shape
Of a row, eagerly espoused the side Of
one or other of the champions The
contest proceeded, and Hooks cool in
vectives, we are told, grew more and
more cutting and the gesticulations of
Mathews more wild and extravagant
Blows followed, and the partisans, full
of gin and valor, soon followed the ex-
ample Of their principals. A general
melee succeeded. Candles were knocked
out, tables and chairs overthrown, the
glasses ''sparkled on the boards" and
in the midst of the confusion, just In
time to avoid the arrival OF the police
and the impressive denouement, the
promoters of the riot, unobserved, eff
fected their escape, leaving their excit-
able adherents to compute at leisure
the amount of damage done to their
persons and property and to explain, If
possible, to magistrate in the morn
