TAPPING THE euNNIsoN CANYON.
Engineering Enterprise Which Will
Transform Colorado Desert.

The most spectacular engineering
enterprise ever undertaken by the gov
ernment is now on the point of COM
pletion, says the Technical World Mag
azine. Carried through under most
extraordinary and unprecedented diff
ficulties, its success is already abso
lutely assured, and as result of the
achievement, 100000 acres. or about
235 square miles, of desert in south
western Colorado will soon be trans
formed into a blooming garden.
The principal feature of the enter
prise in question was the boring of
a great hole through the base OF a
mountain range six miles thick and
half mile high, the object in view be-
ing TO provide in this manner con-
duit for the carrying Of river across
to the other side of the range, in Or
der that 1t might irrigate and render
fruitful a desert valley.
The river concerned is the Gun
nison-a rapid and turbulent stream
which flows through the canyon Of the
same name, otherwise known as the
Black canyon. This canyon is per
haps the most formidable and impass-
able in all the west. 1t is huge
cash. cut as with a mighty knife
through the landscape, and with walls
which for the greater part OF It's
length are almost vertical. Every hun

KNEW HIMSELF TO BE A POET

himself to be a real poet. ard would
often relate. writes Mrs. Abbey j.
Woodman In her "reminiscences OF
Whittier's Life at Oak Knoll" an
amusing experience when he was a
student at the Haverhill academy.
Mrs. Woodman gives 1t in Mr.. Whit
tiers own words:
There is but little doubt that at
the age Of 20 / felt myself TO be a
real poet. somewhat unknown to fame,
but sufficiently acknowledged as such

cation of the new academy for them

MODERN MAN NOT A WONDER.
Shows Little Advancement Over Pro
totype of Ancient Days.

Alfred Russell Wallace, the we'll
known English scientist, says that
modern man is not superior to the
man Of ancient times. He writes:
The general idea that our enormous
advances In science and command
over nature serves as demonstration
Of our mental superiority to the men
of earlier ages Is totally unfounded.
The evidence of history and of the
earliest monuments alike goes to in
dicate that our intellectual and moral
nature has not advanced In any GER
ceptible degree. In the second place,
we find that the supposed great
mental inferiority of savages is equal
ly unfounded. The more they are
sympathetically studied the more they
are found to resemble ourselves in
their inherent intellectual powers
Even the so long despised Aus
tralian, almost the lowest In material
progress, yet show by their complex
language, their elaborate social regu.
lations, and often by an innate no.
bility Of character, indications of a
very similar inner nature to our own.
If they possess fewer philosophers
and moralists. they are also free from
so large proportion Of unbalanced
minds-idiots and lunatics-as we
possess.
"On the other hand, We find In the
higher Pacific types men who. though
sayages as regards material progress.
are yet generally admitted to be-
physically. intellectually and morally
our equals. IL not our superiors.
Thirdly. we have no proof
whatever that even the men of the
stone age were mentally or morally
inferior to ourselves"
