Who owns the Waterways7
e. C. oTWELL, Ed. and Pub.

One of the most intricate problems
involved, and one which must be
cleared before we have gone far with
the management of water power, is
that Of the ownership of running wa
ter-a matter to which both congress
and the supreme court have given
considerable time with very incon-
elusive results. Under old conditions,
when the erection of a dam was the
whole apparatus Of power develop
ment, the man who owned the dam
site was considered by that possession
TO own the power in the water during
the time it was passing his land.
When water power was the only pow
er, and larger development was neces-
sary, this dam owner was given the
right to take for flowage the lands of
his immediate neighbors, for a fair
price. But now that we have passed
far beyond that stage, to a time when
the Improvement of river begins at
the fountain from which it springs
and in the forests which cover the
slopes of the surrounding hills, we
can no longer follow this old proce-
dure, The work which is done at
head waters actually creates a power,
declares J. L. Mathews in the Atlantic,
since it enlarges and steadies the
flow; and that power is possible of
utilization over and over again, for.
every foot of fall from the fountain to
the sea. The supreme court has often
held that the government has but a
navigation right in streams, and that
the states themselves own the water,
and the landowners the use for pow
er. But old usage must give way to
new needs, and new body of law de-
scribing and establishing the owner.
ship and the extent of the several
rights i'll a river is one of the urgent
needs of the new movement.

Dispenser of Kisses.

A Frenchman, who apparently has,
been amusing himself by reckoning
up the number of kisses he has given
his wife during the first 20 years Of
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he
dispensed about 100 kisses a day, Or,
say, allowing for birthdays and legal
and church holidays, about 36,700 in
the year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by half, and in the third
year to ten day, while in the fifth.

with two a day, one in the morning
and one in the evening.

OVerea atinu,

When prudently followed, the prac-
tice of fasting is most beneficial.
Many people really never feel the sen
satiOn of natural hunger. All they
have is a morbid craving for food,
which comes of habit rather than
from any actual need felt by the
stomach. Natural hunger declares
the New York Weekly, stimulates the
palate, and is felt in the mouth as well
as in the internal organs. 1t makes
the plainest food seem delicious and,
when being satisfied, is a source CT
such enjoyment as the average we'll
fed man rarely experiences, Some
suffer, it is true, from insufficient
food but not SO many as those whose
ills arise from excessive eating, their
digestion being continually overtaXed.
A habit Of judicious fasting would do
wonders for them. The system would
recover its lost tone, and-in the case
or mental workers-the brain would
work with an ease and lightness that
would surprise them. for the brain is
one of the chief sufferers from the
practice of ovc"eating.

WHO RANsAcKED HIS
HOME.
HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
ALSO A VICTIM
Wife, Bound and Gagged, is Found BY
a Servant-crime Planned BY Model,
Whose Voice Was Recognized BY
Nine. SteinheiI.

Paris, June IA double murder was
committed here during the early hours
of the morning that for absolute bru-
tality would be hard to parallel. The
discovery was made by Steinheils man
servant, who arose at to prepare
breakfast.
Hearing groans coming from Nine.
Steinheil's sleeping room, he entered
and found her lying hound hand and
foot on the bed. A gag Of cotton wool,
which she had succeeded in ejecting
from her mouth lay on the floor. A
thin cord was around her throat.
In the passage he found the painter
dead. He was resting on his knees
and the body was bent backwards. He
had been strangled by whipcord sim
liar to that around his wife's neck.
His features were blackened and mis-
limbs were already stiff.
In another bedroom was the dead
body of Nine. Steinheil's mother, Nine
Japin. She also had been strangled
and the body was fastened to the Oed.
Every room in the house had been
ranSacked and a large number of ar
ticles stolen. The wife, who had es.
capped death, related in broken accents
what she recollected OF the tragedy.
She declared that about 2 o'clock in
the morning she had been awakened
by the entrance of three men and
woman, who sprang upon her like wild
beasts and tied her to the bed. Evi-
IDENTIFY they had taken her for her 16-
year-old daughter, who was absent in
the country, as one OF the men said:
Your father had an exhibition sale
of pictures; tell us where the money
is." The woman pointed to a drawer
in a bureau and meanwhile muttered:
Kill her quick. Why are you sparing
herr"
Nine. Steinheil, struck by the voice,
looked at the woman and seemed TO
recognize her as one of her husbands
models. Beyond this statement the
police have no cleT to the murderers,
and no arrests have been made up 10
midnight. They believe that the mur-
derers entered the house by means of
false keys.
Adolphe Steinheil was the son of the
celebrated portrait painter, Louis
Charles Auguste Steinheil, who died in
Paris in 1885. The younger Steinheil
was about SO years of age, and was
born in Paris. He was grand nephew
of Meissoniar. He had painted the
portraits of a host of distinguished
men, including Francois Felix Faure,
president of France, who was his inti-
mate friend.

ST. Louis, June 1.-The picture of a
bearded, crooked-nosed man, on the
