RESTORING A LOST EMPIRE.

The possible realization of the pro.
1ect for reopening the old empire OF
Nebuchadnezzar to civilization, pro-
ject which only yesterday was only
a dream. Is foreshadowed by the eff
forts of the Turkish government to
reclaim 12500,000 acres of waste land
in Northern Mesopotamia through IT.
rigation, says New York World.
Given the success of the experiment,
the ancient realm of Assyrian and
Babylonian monarchs may then be re-
fertilized and repeopled with an in
dustrious race and the worlds old
granary restored after centuries of
desolation. Mesopotamia's greatness
was due to system of irrigation
canals in connection with the Tigris
and Euphrates. 1t was by their neg
lect that 1t declined and was trans
formed into sandy plain, the haunt
of nomad races. Within recent times
the engineer and the archeologist
have invaded 1t, the former plotting
the route Of the Bagdad railway
which is to unite 1t with the Western
world and the latter delving in the
dust heap which have disclosed in
turn the site of Nebuchadnezzar' pal
ace. the hall in which Belshazzar gave
his feast and the very site of Babel.
To reclaim it to cultivation will cost
5000. 100000.

The Duke of Orleans, the French
pretender. again offers himself at this
crisis to save the ship of state, declar-
ing that republican institutions are
responsible for corruption. But it is
not the use of republican institutions
which is at fault; 1t is merely their
abuse, and the obliging Duke will
probably be politely SO informed, and
his help as politely refused.

x.Ray Treatment for Paralysis,

It is well known that paralysis of all

way. Recently, however, experiments
have been carried out to see 1.-THE
X-rays may not be able to exert some
curative influence on the spinal cord
in cases where paralysis is due to dis
ease thereof, and as matter of fact
the application of the X-rays to the

great improvement in several cases of
disease of the kind under considera-

been carried out on the Continent, but
one or two nerve specialists in Lon

opportunity Of seeing a spinal disease

under the X-ray treatment. But It
must be understood that these exper-

cation a person is only helping to
carry on a splendid work for the dumb
animals, and for the children who
need care. 1--WE speak for those who
cannot speak," That is the motto of
the society. And that is what the
state humane society is trying to do.
When one considers that when a
man is beating his horse or is treat
ing other stock viciously that he is
at the height of his anger, one can
realize that it takes nerve to step
up to that individual when he is in
such a state of mind and tell him to
"cut it out" Yet that is what Mr..
Blake or anyone else interested in
this work must do, and there are
many cases where the angry man will
turn and attempt to start a fight on
the spot
Membership blanks have been left
at the Grand Pacific hotel or they may
also be had by calling on Mrs. Nellie
Evarts at the Office Of the county
superintendent of schools. The So
ciety is just new in the state but al
ready it has done a good work and
is rapidly laying splendid founda-
tion for work in the future.
But it has to be supported at the
present by those interested in human
itarian affairs, and that is why Mr..
Blake is DESTROYS of building up a
strong humane society in Bismarck.
