DOGS WeII-Earned Monument.

Near the hospice Of St. Bernard.
Switzerland, is a monument to Barry,
one of the dogs. which always inter
ests tourists. This animal died some
years ago. and a writer in the Wide
World Magazine tells his story: Dur
ing the ten years he was at the hos
pice he saved the lives of 40 persons
who had lost their way in the snow.
On one occasion he found a child, ten
years old, lying in the snow under the
influence of the fatal slumber which
precedes death. The dog warmed the
child with its breath, and then reused
1t from sleep by licking il. This much
accomplished. Barry, by lying down
on its side, gave the child an obvious
invitation to get upen its back and
ride. The child did so. and was thus
carried to the monastery. Barry was
killed by some unknown person. prob
ably in mistake" The inscription on
the monument Is: Barry. the heroic
Saved the lives of 80 persons, and was
killed by the forty-irst."

engineers before the question before
them is brought to a point where a
reasonable deduction can be made.
While the perogative of looking
underground, so to speak, before
human efforts have opened up some
thing, is confined tc the engineer,
still he is not endowed with super
natural instinct. He follows certain
well defined conclusions using his
own individual opinions to cope with
the particular problem before him,
but beyond that nobody knows, says
an exchange.
Where nature is not cratic in its
ore dispositions, it is often
able to see with what dexterity
reputable mining engineers can per-
dict underground conditions where
these follow natural laws. Engineers
are not so conscious of their own
shortcomings as they are of the wide
ly different rules under which ore
making conditions prevail.
Engineers are constantly working
with the unknown in its application
to the known. Outside of the
chemical formulas they never can
reckon with the satisfaction of two
plus two equals four. The uncer-
tainty of underground changes is
what makes them slow before COM
hitting themselves to conclusions
though the outlook may be the signal
for encouraging comments.
The semi-technical and technical
press have lately been d~evoting con-
siderable space editorially to the
shortcomings of mining engineers.
The field of mining engineers
says Mining Science, lis the broadcast
field of engineering in the world. 1t
presumes a knowledge of geology,
-crystallography, petragraphy, geog-
raphy, trigonometry, surveying, of
milling, eyanidization, amalgamation
concentration, lead smelling, copper
smelling, matte smelling and refin-
ing, OF hydraulics, mechanics,
thermo-dynamics, and electricity, of
the laws of a hundred lands and
the customs of a thousand mining
districts, of transportation by land,
rail, team and sea; moreover, the
engineers is supposed to be wise"
to all business tricks, schemes and
devices Of clever selling on the one
hand, and of shrewd buyers on the
other"

F. H. Newell, director of the re-
clamation service, in the National
Magazine gives a brief summary of
the great work accomplished by that
branch of the Federal Government in
the seven years of its existence. In
that short period the service has
spent $50. 900, 900 in irrigation work.
The projects completed and under
way call for a total expenditure of
$50, 600, 900, and the watering of
over 1000, 900 acres of land. Most
Of this land is almost valueless with
out water, but under irrigation will
have an average value of more than
800 per acre. Already the Service
has nearly. 1000, 900 acres under
ditch, and of this area a third is
actually irrigated. Through its labor
5000 farms with means of irrigation
have been carved out of what once
was desert or land too arid to be re-
garded as fit for cultivation. 1t is
a magnificent record of practical
governmental development. Up to
the beginning of the present year,
the reclamation service had built
more than 3,45S miles of canals and
bitches, some of which carry whole
rivers. As a result of its work more
than 30, 0O0, Gee people have found
homes in the aird region.
Among the irrigation works under
taken by the Service are some of not
able engineering magnitude. One OF
these is the Shoshone dam. under
construction in Wyoming. 1t will be
he highest masonry dam in the
world, with a hight of 32S feet from
the bedrock. 1t will create a reservoir
covering 5000 acres, and store
water enough to irrigate 10000
acres.

A BOY AND HIS FATHER.

"He has read a lot about angles,

able reason my boy selected Chicago
to be born in, and he arrived in the
big, noisy city on a zero wintry day
a proceeding in strange contrast to
the warmth of his sunny nature and
the peaceful serenity of his tempera-

he had the good sense to pick me
for his father. and that is the rea-
son I have tried to give him some
of the things he lost by not being
born on a farm. | have made him
almost my constant companion since
he beagn to use his little legs to
explore the mysteries of his little
world. OF course, there is m
thing of a selfish motive in all this.
| am sure I can get more out of the
boy than he gets out of me. To
watch the leaves of his mind unfold
in the springtime of his life is great

TRIBUTE TO LUTHER BURBANK

TRIBUTE TO LUTHER BURBANK
Editor The Call: AS tribute to the
genius of Luther Burbank 1 send the
following extract from Atlantis" by
Ignatius Donnelly. pages III and 17s:
Why is it that the origin OF wheat,
barley. oats, maize and rye-the es-
sential plants of ciVilization-is totally
lost In the mists of vast antiquity?
we have in the Greek mythology
legends of the introduction of most
of these by Atlantean kings or gods
into Europe; but no European nation
claims to have discovered or developed
them. and 1t has been impossible to
trace them to their wild originals. Out
of the whole fora of the world man
kind in the last 1000 years has not
developed a single food plant to COM
pare in Importance to the human fam
lily with these. If wise and scientific
nation should propose nowadays to
add to the list 1t would have to form
great botanical gardens. and, by sys-
tematie and long continued expert
ments, develop useful plants from the
humble productions of the field and
forest. Was this done in the past on
the island of Atlantis?'
Does this not show that Luther Bur-
bank has done what Mr.. Donnelly says
could only be accomplished by some
wise and scientific nation forming
great botanical gardens and by sys-
tematic and long continued expert
ments develop. etc?
