REcLAIMING. SWAMP LANDS.
Lecture Before Geographic Society by
Mr.. 81. M. Wilson.

An interesting lecture was given by Mr.
II. NJ. Wilson of the United States geologi-
cal survey before the members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society at Hubbard
Memorial Hall, 18th and NJ streets, last
evening, his subject being "Reclaiming the
Swamp Lands The speaker declared that
the lands in question will prove particu-
larry valuable if they are properly drained,
in order that some of the superabundance
of water may be removed.
In showing the extent to which the re-
claiming and draining of the lands would
add to the wealth of the country Mr.. Will
son used maps. figures and estimates. There
are more than 6O,OOOO00 acres of swamp
lands in the United States. He stated that
If it is possible to reclaim about half of that
amount the land values of the country
would be increased by s., 500, 600 600 and the
crop values by more than $3.50, 100000 Such
reclaimed lands would also furnish homes
and farms for about 1850, 600 families, and
place more than 100000 persons on land
now worthless and uninhabited. The
speaker concluded his remarks by saying
that Congress is enthusiastic over the idea.
and he believes that in a short time a suffl-
cient appropriation will be made to begin
the reclamation.

.Frail Girl.

'To save and strengthen the life Of a frail
young white girl the Associated Charities
announces that it is in need Of special con-
tributicns. The girl is fifteen years Of age.
Her father died Of tuberculosis, Of which
her stepfather is dying. after long strug-
gle on his part to continue supporting the
home. The mother, q woman of splendid
thrift and ability as home-maker, Is badly
worn by the long strain. She has bad eye
sight and nervous headaches. In addition
to the care Of the house and the little chill
dren, she does sewing nights and rents out
two rooms. The burden of the family sup
port falls on the girl. The doctor says 1t is

have nourishing food and fresh air. In
stead. she is now compelled to stand nine
hours day clerking in a crowded store.
She breathes bad air all day. Her wages
are s. week, and she often walks home,
long distance, to save car fare. The
mother acknowledges that they have meat
only once a week, and the girls diet is
chiefly bread and syrup. The family ap-
pears to be suffering from malnutrition.
Under such conditions there is said to be
grave danger that tuberculosis will develop.
The agent and division conference of the
Associated Charities are anxious to make
up the s. weekly and to assure the girl q
chance to rest from excessive toll and de-
velop strength for a year, the total cost to
be only 1885, A distant relative will give
