Project For Giants.

Down in the southwestern corner
of the country great river flows In
cash in the earth approximately
one mile deep, for distance equaling
that from Albany to Buffalo. The
point at which the Colorado river can
on is approached by railroad In Ari-
zona has become one Of the show
places Of the continent. WHAT would
happen II engineering skill could so
far advance that 1t would be econom-
ically possible, some miles above this
show place, to dam the canon, there
impounding the water? With the
enormous depth Of the artificial reser-
voir thus produced, at least thirty
times the height Of Niagara, the power
possibilities would be bewildering in
their magnitude. This dam would
food the canon up to approximately
the level Of the tableland through
which its course has been broken.
This would make incidentally possible,
irrigation by windmill pumping, thus
opening up an area Of fertility in
what is now unbroken desert.
At the single show place to which
tOurlStS now SO HO STcdt Cudii6o ucoN
be effected. After the water had been
impounded, the spillway from the
power station would send down ap-
proximately the same volume as that
which now flows there-and this Is
one Of the large rivers Of the CONT
nent. During the impounding peri
cd, of course, the stream below the
dam would go dry; and how long 1t
would take to bank UP the basin OF
water a mile deep and fourteen miles
wide across the top Of a canon and
back for perhaps 100 miles Is some
thing for mathematicians to compute.
A dam to hold back such body Of
water would prove one Of the great
est works Of man.
Would 1t not be odd II in some dis
tant age Of the world another Pitts
burg should come into being In north
ern Arizona, and, II, further, by pump
ing some of this embarked flood over
the surrounding tableland, which has
lain dormant for centuries, a degree
of verdure should there appear In that
southern latitude uneQualled in the

Peter the Greats Odd Way Of Punish
inq q Deserter.

Peter the Greats Odd Way Of Punish
ing a Deserter.
Peter the Great, czar Of Russia, pun
ished a traitor on notable occasion
in a way that the numerous victims OF
the present czars wrath might well
wish were still in vogue.
Mazeppa, chieftain Of the Cossacks,
had deserted to the king Of Sweden,
with whom Peter was at war. Ma
zeppa was at once tried by court mar
tial and found guilty Of high treason.
Sentence Of death was passed upon
him.
Mazeppa, however, was safely in the
camp of the Swedish king, but this
fact was not permitted to stand in The
way Of the carrying out Of every part
of the sentence. A wooden effigy of
Mazeppa was made, and the punish
ments were inflicted upon the Cossack
chieftain's substitute.
The effigy was first dressed in Ma
zappa's uniform, and upon its breast
were pinned all Of the medals, ribbons
and other decorations that the real cul-
prit had worn.
While the commanding general and
a squadron of cavalry stood near all
officer advanced to the wooden man
and read the sentence. Then another
officer wrenched off the efflgy's patent
of knighthood and his other decora-
tions, tore them up and trampled
upon them. This done, he struck the
wooden gentleman a powerful blow in
the pit Of the stomach, knocking him
over Next a hangman appeared.
While the soldiers shouted he threw
a moose over the imitation Mazeppa's
head and dragged the effigy to a
nearby gallows, where 1t was hanged
by the neck until 1t was dead.'-Scrap

VICTORIA AS MATCHMAKER.
The Queen Liked to Act the Part Of
Fairy Godmother.

Queen Victoria used her influence
on several occasions to further the
cause of love's young dreain. When
the engagement was announced ne-
tween Princess Fredrica Of Hanover
and Baron Won Pawel- -Rammingcn.
the king of Hanover opposed the
match, and the queen of Hanover
was so cross with her daughter that
she practically cast her off. says Tit
Bits. Queen Victoria thereupon step
ped in and acted the part Of fairy
godmOther. Our late queen not only
encouraged. the match, but gave the
bride away and provided a home for
her and her husband at Hampton
court palace. Again, it was Queen
Victoria who encouraged the deep at
tachment of the Princess Louise for
the Marquis Of Lorne, now Duke Of
Argyll, when all her relatives were
violently opposed to the match.
The German emperors marriage on
his 22nd birthday to the Princess Au-
Subtd flClOIld VI 0SLlSSWl6 -l1OlSICiiib
a niece of Prince Christian, was i'm
mensely popular throughout Germany,
the reason being the fact that the
bride was native princess and not
from a foreign cline. 1t is said that
Queen Victoria brought about the un-
ion between the kaiser and the prin-
cess, and we all know that the en-
peror made his future wife's acquaint-
ance at Balmoral when he visited his
grandmother in 1878. The acquain-
tance was renewed at Silesia in the
autumn Of the following year. when
the kaiser was shooting on the estate
of Duke Frederick Of Schleswig- Hol-
stein, the father of Princess Victoria.
Here an engagement was arranged
and the marriage was solemnized on
February q, 1881.
Born in 1852, Prince Henry. the
kaiser's brother, married, on May "a.
1888. his cousin, Princess Irene Of
Hesse, daughter Of the late grand
duke of Hesse and Princess Alice.
Queen Victoria helped to bring this
union about, and it Is said that she
was partly responsible for the mar
riage of the kaiser's sister with the he
reditary prince Of Saxe-Meiningen. G..

Nellie's pretty pink lips were dan

think they could?" she asked, and
the Governor in the next room heard
a sound which startled him from a
reverie and brought back the days
when he used to hear whippoorwills in
Illinois.
