Irritation In France.

In France many of the irrigation
enterprises are under private man,
ogement and are backed by private
capital. A report recently made to
the Academy of Sciences at Paris says
that the ignorance and conservatism
of the farmers stand as obstacles in
the way of the success of enterprises
so backed. The writer of the report
advocates government control of the
enterprises and Of the selling OF water
by volume instead of by fixed flow
This would make 1t possible for each
farmer to use just the volume OF
water needed by his land.

as one who writes for his time. as our
best loved bard of humanity. the ablest
poet of protest, 1.-The Man With the
Hoe" and other inspired outcries
against the injustices of civilization
may be cited.
1t is only within the past decade that
Mr.. Markham has become widely
known as a poet. For many years he
signed his full name, Charles Edwin
Markham, to verses published in va
riOus magazines. When San Fran
cisco newspaper published and "fea-
tured" his Hoe Man, thus giving it n
attention, Mr. Mark
ham shortened his name and Iengthan-
ed his fame.
Markham is a poet with a purpose
His soul is fiery with zeal for justice
and fierce with Indignation against
wrong. He stands for the weak against
the strong and sings for right against
might. Though a writer of verse since
boyhOOd. he was well matured before
he launched into his specific life work
the lyric Nemesis Of social OppreS-
sion. He might have earned nOtOriety
and some little income as tie writer of
fOppiSh society verse, which is Salable
if not readable, but he didn't. Instead
he worked a cowboy in the mighty
mountain Businesses of his native Ore
gOn and its neighboring California.
Then he became a blacksmith and
hammered kissing iron. He was our
second learned black smith, Elihu Bur
rift being the other one. He studied as

demonstrated pretty fairly before the

crew of fifteen men, and every one of

life is as endurable beneath the waves
as on the surface. One member OF the
Lake crew goes so far as to assert that
it is only when he is thirty feet below
the surface that he realizes the bliss
of a life freed from the distracting
happenings of the upper world.
President Roosevelt has always taken
a very lively interest in the develop
nent of the submarine, and since his
experience last summer on the Piunger,
with Lieutenant Nelson in command,
he has been more enthusiastic over the
little craft than ever. He realizes how
vitality important this species of fight-

of folly. The government is engaged
continually in building warships OF the
most modern type, each one of which
costs more than it would require TO

that a battleship Of the preadncught
type would cost more than all the sub
marines now in the United States navy.

For the benefit of Mr. Bryce and 9TH
ers in and out of the United States who
are inclined to despair, few brief pas
sages of poetry written by Americans
who are still living and writing may be
offered. This. for instance:
1 looked one night, and there Semiramis,
With all her mourning doves about her
head.
Sat rocking on an ancient road of He'll.
Withered and eyeless. chanting 30 the
moon
Snatches OF song they sang to her of old
Upon the lighted roofs of Nineveh.
And then her voice rang out with rafting
laugh:
''The bugles! They are crying back
again.
BugIes that broke the nights of Babylon,
And then went crying 90 -l-----7I II T'rIie-
III!
Women, let so my hair. l am the queen
A whirlwind and a blaze of swords to

OF armies shake the earth. Look. lofty
towers:
Assyria goes by upon the wind,'
And so she babbles by the ancient road
While cities turned 70 dust upon the earth
Rise through her whirling brain to live
again
Babies all night. and when her voice is
dead
Her weary lips beat on without sound
The poet who wrote that lives on
Staten Island. His name is Edwin
Markham. He is just fifty-five years
old and in his singing prime. His
"Sen1iramis" he is said to regard as
his best bit of poetry. But to show him

~HE test of submarines which
began at Newport in the last
week Of April was authorized
by the naval appropriation
act of June %. 1906. and amended by
the naval act of the last congress. ex-
tending the time for the test to May %
of the present year and increasing the
limit OF the boats to be bought to So
100000. There was also an appropria-
ton of $1,0oO,00O for immediate use in
purchasing boats of the successful
type.
Notwithstanding the serious acct
dents and the appalling loss of life that
have attended the experiments made
with them. the interest in submarines
has never been so great as il is at the
present moment. It has long been the
opinion OF about every man of impor-
lance belonging to the American navy
that this type of war machine was des-
tined TO supersede the vast armored
battery which is so uncertain in its
possibilities and so costly. Admiral
Dewey declares that if the Spaniards
at Manila had bsen provided with a
submarine or two the outcome might
have been quite different our naval
experts now admit that one such vessel
at Santiago could have broken the
blockade. The strongest Dreadnoughts
and the fieetest armored cruisers would
be pOwerlesS to resist a single perfect
working plunger.
Not Modern Invention.
1t is not only moderns who have be-
tome convinced of the effectiveness of
the submarine. Before he began to ap-
Ply steam to the propulsion of vessels

the development of the small sub

poet which he could not get in America
at the time, Moody was an infant in
