The great objection to the Lords,
is not that they occasionally reject
Liberal measures, but that they never
reject Conservative measures; not
that they do one half of their work
too thoroughly, but that they do not
do the other half at all. To this it
may, of course, be answered that the
bills brought forward by Conserva-
tive government are in general SO
reasonable, SO little revolutionary,
and so much in harmony with popu-
lar wishes, as to make rejection or
amendment unnecessary. But the
plea will hardly bear the test of fact.
The Education bill of 1902, and the
Licensing bill of 1904, were both of
them measures that we're vehemently
resented by a majority of the British
people. They were precisely the kind
Of measures that strong and impair
tial Second Chamber, free from party
subserviency and taking the broad,
national point of view, would have
rejected. The Lords, however, not
only passed item, but strengthened
some of their most obnoxious fea-
tures.-Sydney Brooks, in the Allan

The work of the elements in erod-
ing or eating away the surface of the
United States affords a study for the
scientists which is Of extreme interest
and Importance. So many are the
causes Of erosion and so many and
varied are its effects, however, that
a series of volumes would be needed
to describe the effect of air and water
merely on the different soils, in the
various climates, and at the various
attitudes.
Perhaps the most familiar effects
of earth erosion are in the West,
in such regions as the Arizona desert,
where the crumbling away of the sur
face has revealed the petrified for
ests. The remarkable formation In
the Bad Lands Of Dakota and Me-
braska and the picturesqueness of the
famous Garden of the Gods in Colo
RADIO are due almost entirely to the
wearing away of the softer formation,
exposing the curious shapes formed
by the more solid composition. Much
of this erosion is due to the ex-
tremely dry climate and high tenn
perature, which have caused the earth
to become remarkably friable. Here
and there can also be seen the effect
Of water upon the soil, but really
wonderful result of the power of
water is in what is now the Salton

You can't essactly sec it, cause there's
such a lot of trees,
But listen, and you'll hear it, most any
time you please.
Not when it's going to Boston, but every

When it is coming back again, cause then
the whistle blows,
And I'm sure that can tell you who it is

When it whizzes round our corner, and
calls, "Hulloo, Lulu"

enough to operate all of the industries
of the South at the present time.
This figure illustrates the volume
and force OF the water in the South
ern rivers. During the food season,
when the rivers are swollen by the
melting SHOWS in the mountains or
by heavy rains, and the flow Of the
water is many times greater than at
other periods, some of the streams be-
come literal torrents and carry down
their course an enormous amount of
sand, gravel and other detritus, much
of which is held in solution. Unfor-
tunate1y this material is unlike what
is carried by the flood waters of the
Colorado and the Nile; for 1t usually
covers the land to such a depth that
the soil is worthless for agricultural
purposes. This distribution of al
luvial material is one Of the most
serious destructive effects of erosion.
Every year large areas of the valleys
in the Piedmont section, as well as
of the lands of the coastal plain, are
inundated by the high waters, and
this deposit left upon their surface.
The direct erosion caused by tho food
water, however, is another great in
jury to agriculture. The soil of the
Piedmont region consists largely of
clay and loan, the upper statum Of
which is so soft and loose that the
contact of water causes it to dissolve
just as a pile of sand will be disin-
tegrated by a small jet of liquid. 1t

HARD TO PLEASE: A FABLE.

HARD TO PLEASE: A FABLE.
A heron stood one day by the riv-
er's edge, as still and silent as though
made of stone. With his coiled neck
and piercing, bright eye he waited for
the unwary fish to ~ome within reach
of his beak, which was perfect fish
spear The prospects of bounteous
day were unusually promising. Soon
he espied perch playing around him
within easy reach The heron be-
came choicely at once and said to
himself: ut does not suit my pleas
ure to begin my meal now; the perch
can wait until it suits me to snap him
up The perch finally swan away,
and after a while plump carp glided
around the heron's feet, who stiffened
a bit more proudly and scarcely took
notice of this large, delicious morsel.
IT am not ready, and the carp must
await my good and leisure time like
the perch" decided the heron.
Then bright, fat, speckled trout
showed his shiny sides around the
heron, finally laying at rest at the
heron's feet. You must await my
pleasure like the Others declared
the heron, and he spurned the trout,
with his foot kicking him out Of the
water with a great splash.
At last the heron decided that he
was now hungry and it would please
him to begin his banquet at once, but
never fish came near him that day,
not even minnow, and all he could
find was a small, Shiny snail.

is this quality of soil which is noted
for its crop production. Upon the
"red lands, as they are called, of the
Carolinas and Georgia is raised
large proportion of the cotton crop,
some of the planters averaging nearly
two bales of cotton to the acre. This
land Is also adapted for the growing
of fruit, as is shown by the great
peach orchards in the red lands of
Central Georgia. Much of it is in
cluded in the older plantations which
have been cultivated for over half
century. 1t is in this country, how
ever, that erosion from water has
done great injury; for many of the
plantations are situated in the foot
hill country where the land is suf-
hciently rolling to permit rapid
Cow of water.
The erosion even of small rivulet
is of such an extent as to seem almost
Incredible. The writer has measured
ravines and gullies in the plantation
districts of South Carolina which
we're actually fifty feet in depth, yet
only two or three feet wide at the
top. The drainage water cut through
the soft surface like knife, and
with no hard clay or rock to stop its
course, had eaten its way into the
earth. With such formation, it is
not strange that one can see fields OF
fifty acres or more which have been
abandoned because so creviced by the
water. But even greater damage has
been done to plantation and other bot
tom lands in the valleys through
which flow the mountain rivers. Such
may be the force of the flood torrent
that it will carry away the entire
earth crust, washing it down to the
rock itself AS these bottom farms
are usually extremely fertile and pro-
duce large crops of corn and cotton,
the loss to the farmer is very great.

that she could look over the heads

there came a great wind, and the
crooked tree went down with dread

owls nest that was built in its top,
and broke all the eggs. Just think
of that. Now, if you will do as I

In many other portions of ne
United States, however, the result Of
erosion by water has brought literal
destruction to very large areas of
farm land and of territory available
for agriculture by reason of its adj
vantages of climate and soil. In spite
of the enormous extent of cultivated
lands in the various portions of the
country and the many tracts which
can be made available by the farmer

this destruction has already assumed
such large proportions that it has
seriously affected our most important
industry. While evidences of the in

New England and in many parts of
the Middle States, possibly the South
ern States present the most notable
illustrations. This is due to several
