Learn to Talk.

A noted society leader. who has been
very successful In the launching Of
debutantes In society, always gives this
advice to her proteges, Talk, talk. 1t
does not matter much what you say :
but chatter away lightly and gayly.
Nothing embarrasses and bores the av-
erage man 80 much as girl who has to
be entertained"
There is a helpful suggestion in this
advice. The way to learn to talk Is TO
talk. The temptation for people who
are unaccustomed to society. and who
feel difident is to say nothing them
selves and listen to what others say.
Good reading not only broadens the
mind and gives new ideas, but it also
increases ones vocabulary. and that IS

Two Great Water Projects.


On opposite sides OF the continent
two water supply projects-the great.
est In history-are engaging the at
tention OF engineers. They are the
plan for the Catskill addition to New
York's present system and that OF
Los Angeles for the utilization OF the
waters of the Owens river. Just Ms
the limit of the supply OF the me
tropolis is uncomfortably near the de.
mand, on account of the wonderful
growth OF the city, so Los Angeles
which, Instead Of populati ton of 80.
600 in 1890. now has nearly 100000
has difficulty in making ends meet, SC
far as water is concerned. So it II
proposed to draw upon the Owens
river valley and to bring its waters
to the relief OF the city.
No other water system In the WORLD
can compare with these two, and the
comparisons and contrasts between
them are of considerable interest Tit
Los Angeles supply must be carried 22I
miles from the dam in Inyo Count!
to the north of the city, to its dcsti
nation; the length of the new Catskil
acQueduct will be III miles. The Owen
river valley will yield 100000 gal
Ions daily; the Catskill reservoirs from
5OO,0OO,OO0 to 6OO,OOO,OO0 gallens. Tn
estimated cost OF the Pacific coast prot
ect is $25 600 600 that of the new Cats
kill system $162, 100000.
