ANIMALS THAT THRIVE
WITHOUT WATER.

1t is difficult to comprehend the part
that water, or rather the lack of water,
plays in shaping the life of the desert.
Mice and other small rodents native to
arid regions have been known to live
on hard seeds without green food for
periods of several months or even as
long as two or three years, and Moth
ing in their behavior indicated that
they ever look liquid in n form.
Similar adaptations are exhibited by
q large number of plants. The guare-
qui Of Sonora is a member of the
squash family. inhabiting a region in
which the annual rainfall occurs with
in. a few days in the autumn. The
base of the stem at the surface of the
ground becomes swollen to the size Of
a market basket in the adult plant,
and this serves as a reservoir for
water. During the hot rainy season
the thin vines are sent up, leaves are
formed, and the small, s%quashlike fruit
is formed; then the vines and roots
quickly perish, leaving the guarequi
resting on the surface of the sandy soil
like a boulder until the next rainy sea-
son, when the vegetable activity is re-
Ieated.
One of these huge tubers was picked
up under an acacia tree in the Sonora
sands in February, 1902, and placed on
a shelf in a museum case with a num-
Der of preserved exhibits; in the sum
mer of hat year. and in every year
since, it has sent up it's thin stems and
spread its leaves at a time correspond
ing to it's active season in the desert.
These have soon died down in a very
natural manner, all of the plastic ma
terial and water not used being carried
INTO the tuber, which now goes
into a sleeping or resting condition for
another year. Six times has this

HOW THE RAILROADS
SETTLE THE COUNTRY.

The story of tho development of the
great Northwest empire is the story of
the railroads, nothing more. Mime
apolis, for instance, stood still till the
Great Northern brought 1t 70,0 00, 900
bushels of wheat in a single year and
40, 900, 900 bushels of other grain. Then
straightway ten railways hauled 100, $50
carloads of flour and mill-feed out of
Minneapolis in a single year. Mime

tie, and q hundred other Northwest
towns would still be mere villages if
the Great Northern had not come
through" The Great Northern daring
ly built into the ~uninhabited p~rairieS
and through the trailless forest. Then
it sent out agents broadcast to get the
people to come in from all-America and
all-Europe. Thus the Great Northern
not only opened a vast empire to settle
ment, but it brought the landless man
to the manless land and showed him
how to real communities through bet
tering himself.
Then the Northern Pacific and other
railroads Joined the Great Northern in
the great work Of p%opulating the North
west. immigration agents employed by
the railroads induced new settlers to
take up 5000, 900 acres of government
land in North Dakota alone. And soon
all along all the Northwestern lines
communities were established where be-
fore there was a No-Man's-Land. Little
settlements grew into big cities. The
railroads, acting as the pioneers, started
the whole thing. themselves creating the
traffic from which they now derive their
The Great Northern even sent
to the rural districts of Illinois and
other middle-West States to give free
moving picture exhibitions advertising
the Northwest, and to show the people
what opportunities the Northwest af-
forded for making a living. Then those
agents actually showed the middle
West farmers how to sell their land for
five times what they had paid for il.
