The Psnereas.

II is only within comparatively recent
period that anything definite has been
known of the pancreas, what its uses are
in the economy ofthe body. what diseases
Il is subject to. and what are the symp-
toms which these diseases cause and by
which they may be diagnosed. Indeed,
even yet the subject Of its diseases Is one
Of the vexatious problems OF medical
study, and the part il plays in the great
chemical laboratory which we call the
digestive tract is rather guessed at than
really comprehended.
The pancreas, or sweetbread,- lin the
calf il is Gales by butchers the abdominal
sweetbread or stomach sweetbread to
distinguish Il from the throat sweetbread
or thymus gland,-is a long, narrow
gland, lying behind the stomach and part
OF the liver, having somewhat the shape
OF a nail, the head or expanded portion
being al the liver end, while the long,
tapering body, called the tail. runs behind
the stomach TO the left side OF the abdo-
men.
Il secrets a digestive fluid somewhat
similar in appearance to the saliva, which
is poured out through special duct, or
sometimes two ducts, into the upper
portion OF the intestine. In illustration
OF natures truly wonderful economy, we
find that this secretion is not poured out
continuously. but is excited by the taking
OF food, and even then is not called out
at once, but begins an hour or two after
eating, just in time TO act upon the food
after the stomach has finished with Il and
passed il on into the intestine for further
elaboration. This pancreaiic juice has
many properties: il supplements the ac-
ton OF the saliva by converting the indl-
gestible starch into readily absorbable
sugar, and that OF the stomach by pep
tonizing the albuminous substances. II
also shares with the bile the property OF
emulsifying ATTY matter, that Is, OF divid-
ingit into tiny droplets in the form In
which II exists in milk.
In addtiod to these functions. which
supplement those OF the other digestive
fluids. il has one peculiar to itself, namely.
il saponifies the fat OF the food-lhat Is,
il decomposes II into fatty acids and
gIycerin, Just as happens to fat in soap
making. In this way this otherwise use
less material Is made capable OF absorp-
ton into the system.
Besides all this. II is believed that the
pancreas, like the thyroid and several
other glands, secretes a material which
Is taken up at once by the blood, and
used in some as yet undetermined way
in favoring the assimilation OF nutntiye
materials by the body cells.

The Latest Charge.

Like most long-established institutions.
the United States Senate has its critics.
and here and there one so unreasonable
that he will believe anything bad about il.
A crowd Of farmers were abusing the
Senate one market day last month, when
one old fellow bustled into the midst OF
them.
"Well, b'ys," said he. "whafs the Sen
ate up TO now 2"
"Why, amt ye heerd, Zachary 2" said
young farmer, winking at the others.
"The Senate's went and passed bill
addin' two extry months to the winter"
Zachary struck his forehead with his
red-mitted fist.
"Do tell - he groaned. "Aintthat the
luck An here am ] clean out o. fod-
der"

Great Irrigation Projects.

After nearly five years of labor, the
great tunnel which is to carry the waters
of the Gunnison River, in Colorado, un-
der the Vernal Mesa TO the thirsty but fer
tile soil of the Uncompahgre Valley, is
finished. Thus is brought tovirtual COM
pleton another Of the extraordinary engi-
neering works upon which the United
States Reclamation Service is engaged.
II will reach one hundred and fifty thou
sand acres of land, and will cost nearly
six million dollars. The tunnel alone is
six miles long, and its construction has
tested not only the professional ability,
but the daring and heroism Of its engi-
neers.
In Nevada the Truckee- Carson project,
nearly as costly and opening to irrigation
a still larger area, is already in operation.
In Wyoming the tremendous Shoshone
dam-the highest in the worlds well
under way. II is nearly one hundred feet
higher than Bunker Hill Monument, and
will impound water for irrigating one hun
dred and fifty thousand acres.
In Arizona the greatest undertaking Of
all, the Salt River project, which will cost
eight million dollars and irrigate two hun
dred and fifty thousand acres, is fast ap-
preaching completion. Its most remark
able engineering feature is the Roosevelt
dam, only thirty feet lower than the Shos-
hone dam, and several times as long.
In all, about thirty projects are COM
pleted or in progress. They will cost
nearly one hundred million dollars, and
will create farm values OF two or three
times that sum. Ultimately il will be
possible to reclaim fifty million acres OF
arid land the great American desert OF
the last generation at an expense
OF billion and half, furnish homes and
farms for three million people.
This mighty work is being carried on in
regions so remote and with so little blow
ing Of trumpets that its magnitude is not
comprehended by the nation at large.
But there is no government undertaking
more useful in itself or more efficiently
conducted.
OF these men who are, for no profit to
themselves, creating the possibilities OF
untold wealth for their country, the beau
tifu words of Isaiah may justly be used:
"The wilderness, and the solitary place,
shall be glad for them; and the desert
shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose"

Much has been said OF the modesty and
reticence Of the Wright brothers OF aero
plane fame. That they are able TO give a
clever reason for theirreserve is indicated
by this story. told by Macmillan Foster
in Outing:
"You see," said the financial agent Of
the two Dayton sky-fliers, 1.-THE Wrights
are what you might call too shy and too
modest. said so once to Wilbur, and
do you know what he answered 2"
Mr.. Flint paused long enougtto chuck
lie.
"WiIbur said TO me, Mr.. Flint, the best
talker and the worst flier among the birds
is the parrot"
Which is one good reason, perhaps,
why the world at large knows so little
about the Wright flying-machine.

Jefferson City, May 1.-Senator
Greene today submitted to the Sen
ate a report on the Killion prohibi-
ton submission resolution, in which
no recommendation is made. The
adoption of a tax rider is sug-
gested. however.
The report came from the SEN
ate Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, and its return to the
Senate today was surprise.
Chairman Greene having announc-
ed it would not be rendered until
Monday or Tuesday.
The McAllister amendment pro-
vided an increase in the State taxes
from IS to so cents and the doub-
ling of the maximum taxes for
county and city purposes is recon-
mended favorably by the commit
tee. Senator Greene says the pres
ent section of the Constitution re-
latine to city and county taxes is
embodied with the figures doubled.
Where the city or county can now
assess as high as ST, under the pro-
posed tax rider So can be assessed;
where now DO cents, under the pro.
posed plan 80 cents. The principle
is carried through the entire sec,
tons.
