vanced. 1t was still possible to SOW
the lands which had suffered over
again; but many of the peasantry
were reduced to utter poverty, and
had not the wherewithal to buy them

Among these there was none worse
off than Ayesha's father, whose lands
being low and near the river, were
still under water. In an evil moment
he confided his difficulties to his new
made friend, Nassau. He comforted
him by saying that the waters would

he returned to say that after long

should have the right to sell Ais

Taking advantage of his intended

trived to change the date at which re-
payment would have to be made; in
stead of its being six months hence,
as he had told Ali. the loan would
have to be repaid in as many weeks.
Five weeks had already gone by.

The great cataract in the New River,

fornia, by the escape Of the waters of

to 1900 yards broad. 1t likewise re-
sembles Niagara in eating backward,
or upstream, but its progress in this
direction is extremely rapid, amount
ing to about one-third of a. mile per
day. This arises from the fact that
the channel of the stream Is cut
through the fragile material deposited
centuries ago by the Colorado River at
the head of the Gulf OF California. It
Is predicted that If the escape of the
waters of the Colorado is not arrested
before the cataract has cut back far
enough to unite the New River and
the Alamo River, the Imperial Valley
will be entirely deprived Of its irriga-
ton streams. This cataract may be
called "man-made," since it's existence
is due to his interference with the wa
tiers of the Colorado.

BLIND MEN BUILD A HOUSE.

Able to Work I'm Egyptian Darkness
~ Well rs MONDAY.
Two totally blind men have built a
house for themselves at Berkeley, CAL,
doing all the carpenter work them
selves without any assistance whatever.
It Is coincidence that both these
men are named Joseph-Joseph Brown
and Joseph Martinez. The house is of
the popular bungalow type, one and q
half stories high and constructed en-
tirely of wood. 1t is eighteen feet wide
by twenty-five feet long.
As the builders are sightless, the
work necessarily progressed slowly.
From early morning until frequently
long after sunset the two men toiled
patiently at their task. The shades Of
night did not hinder the work, for noon
day and midnight are equally dark to
them and out of the blackness came the
song Of the saw and the blows of the
hammer to passersby, who heard but
saw no workmen.
From day to day the work was curl
ously watched by crowds, including
many carpenters. The general work Is
pronounced as good as that performed
by many builders who are blessed with
perfect eyesight. r.
Brown and Martinez were not blind
from their birth, but were deprived Of
their sight many years ago. They were
door to door peddlers for many years
and managed in the course of time to
accumulate snug sums Of money that
were wisely deposited in banks. At the
time Of the great ire in San Francisco
these men lost everything save their
little bank accounts.
Recently they pooled their holdings,
purchased small lot in Berkeley and
some lumber. They then set to work
resolutely and built themselves a house.
