Rotation System

The project officials have lnaugur
ated what is known as the rotation
system for the various lateral sys
TENS of the project During the re
mainder of the season water will run
through the lateral systems contin
uously for FIVE days and will then be
turned off for like period. The chic.
idea in mind is to economize in the
use of water, which is getting limit
ed, and also to so arrange matters
that a minimum OF labor will be re
quired. 1t is said at protest head
quaters that the rule will be perma
nent, for, following the completion OF
the Lahontan DAM all projects irr
igation will be conducted on stor-
age basis.
1t is figured that by running water
through the lateral systems only one
half of the time the water table can
be materially reduced and certain
drainage problems overcome. AT the
same time the project officials give
it out that young crops OF all kinds
will be protected fully.

against the law to conduct SUCH
games as it is to forge checks, rob
or enter into any other unawful pro
position. The eastern men who were
caught had to put up the bail, hey
have forfeited the same at a con-
siderable loss The men behind the
games should be taught a severe les
son. If the laws are not worth the
paper they are written on II IS time
to find out If the laws is sound then
enforce it and stop gambling. We do
not want any such scenes and COM
ments such as are common in Cali

fully violate the law. The effect OF
the arrests in Elko should put ths
lid down tight in the land of the

The Boston Advertiser thinks
that there will soon be great exc
dus of Americans from Mexico, and
il is pointed out that the success OF
the insurgents was in a great part
INSPIRED by desire to get even with
Diaz because he had given SO many
Americans chance to make money
The trouble as we look at it dates
further back. There has always been
a clerical party in Mexico which has
favored a monarchy. 1t was that par
ty that induced the Maximilian to
60 to Mexico and try to found an
empire. When he failed, was captur-
ed and shot and old Juarez took
charge, he confiscated millions of
church property. Diaz followed in
his footsteps and was too strong to
be successfully attacked until under
the iMirmities Of age and through
bad advisers he became a good deal
OF tyrant, and had so lost his
youthful vigor that he was assailed.
lr the meantime theclericals have al
ways had publication in Mexico,
and it has been a persistent enemy
OF Americans, by which we mean the
men of the United States There will
be an election in October. If Madero
is elected and he proves to be great
and wise enough to control the rest
less elements among his country
men, it will be all right, but if he
fails, then the real trial will come
Americans and foreigners have too
much money invested in Mexico to
permit those lawless ones down
there to confiscate it, and if they try
it, then there will be another call for
troops to assemble on the border
and the next time they will cross the
line.
We suspect that President Taft
thought the time was fast approach
ing when he made the call last spring
We sincerely hope that the strong
men OF Mexico will gather around
Madero and hold up his arms, for
the United States wants nothing of
Mexico but peace and good will But
they must not attempt any whole
sale looting of foreigners. for that
will not be permitted for day. They
have splendid chance to make their
country one OF the richest in the
world and we hope they will decide
to be decent, but there arc a great
many thousands Of them who are
only fitted to be killed.

The Grip of Gravitation

: were removed, then they would escape
never TO return.
OF course, no such velocity is ever inn
parted to the smoke and gases arising
from combustion. When Vesuvius Is IN
violent eruption II sometimes shoots
smoke to q height OF six or seven miles,
and KrRkatoa In 1882 sent clouds OF fine
dust perhaps twenty miles high but the
velocity of such particles shot from vol
canoes is small in comparison with what
they would have 20 have In order to
throw off the dominion OF the earth's
gravitation
Slngularly enough, while no cannon and
no volcano Is powerful enough to over
come the earths gravitation completely
certain force. OF which we are ordi-
narily entirely unaware, and which acts
only upon infinitesimal particles Of mat
ter can do II easily. This Is the force
which keeps the molecules OF all sub
stances in continual vibration. The vel
ocity to which II gives rise varies from
the atomic weight OF the substance con-
cerEed. In hydrogen the average veloc-
lty OF the flying molecules is nearly
seven and q half miles per second. from
which follows the fact that there Is no
free hydrogen In the earth's atmosphere.
II II was once there It has long ago shot
away into space. But the molecules OF
oxygen nitrogen and water vapor, whose
velocities are only about two miles per
second, cannot get away from the earth.
All of them, however, could escape from
the moon, where a velocity Of a mile and
half per second would open the way
to freedom and this perhaps, is the true
reason why the moon has no atmosphere.

But for the reception OF this inquiry
from so respectable a source l should
have regarded It as unnecessary TO point
out that smoke and gas are as much
subject TO the control OF the earth's
gravitation as solid bodies The products
OF combustion which rise into the atnlos-
phere gradually fall back again, because
they are specifically heavier than air. To
get away from the earth's control they
would have to be projected directly up
ward with a velocity OF nearly seven
miles per second. II they had that We
loclty, and II the resistance OF the air
