Irrigation
One of the leading industries
of the great southwest is prov
ing to be the problem of irriga-
ton.
1t has at last been clearly
demonstrated that the only hope
for the west lies in its respon-
siveness to irrigation and on this
basis many men are investing
thousands of dollars. Fact is the
question of irrigation is no
longer an experiment in many
sections and Of late years it has
been proven that the Plains of
Texas has an ineXhaustable sup
ply of water at shallow depth
and the lands are Of a very fer
tile nature. This makes Of this

BARRIERS STUDY THE BUMPS.

Step into any of the downtown bar Der shops three or four times and al ways go to the same barber. says the St Louis Republic. While you are be- ing shaved just notice how the 'plyer of the razor grips you gently on either side of the back of the head. close to the ears, and turns your head to one side By that slight movement the artist decides whether you are of a cumulative nature or not; he merely desires to see whether an additional charge will pinch the shoe or not. Per haps you have gone to the same bar Der month after month, but have nev- CT said word to him as to your line of business. and when informed as to your vocation you are rather surprised. No he did not inquire of your friends he merely felt the size of a particular bump.
 In a conversation with the dean of this cult among the tOnsorial artists he said that the majority of the bar bers go on the philosophical principle that the faculties are innate, j. e.. that each faculty has its seat in a definite portion of the brain. and these faculties belong to a person from birth; that the size of each of these regions is the measure of the power or ability of a person.
 Although the downtown barbers are adept at this art, the North and South Side barbers become more proficient. for their trade is not so transient. These North and South Siders have become such experts that they can deal with the sentimentalities, power of concentration, the cautious and other of the finer sensibilities. You gre per haps informed that you have a great capacity for recognizing faces; If you wonder how your barber happened to know of this power just feel the bump between the eyes. While he was mas saging you he arrived at this result. IT you are a mathematician your barber knew it long ago, for while he was rubbing on the powder he felt the bump above the eye. He merely does not want to inform you, for perhaps you do not realize your own ability
 If is not necessary to go to clair vovant if you are anxious to know as to your future capacity. You can get this information for the same price as shave if you merely quiz the "chaniolo- gist." He can inform you if you are a musician, linguist or adept Tn some other way.

THE MAN HUNTERS.

A recent court decision in which the evidence of a bloodhound who mad trailed an accused thief from the scene of his crime to his home was admitted and q conviction secured has awakened warm controversy over the sufficiency of the evidence of dumb brute. In the case in question the only convincing evidence of guilt lay in the fact that q hat found near the scene of the robbery was given the dog who immediately followed a trail, hidden from human observation, to the home of the man who was sub sequently proven to be the owner of the hat This evidence with corrobor- ated proof secured a conviction In slavery days these man hunters could De relied upon to locate runaway slaves with marvellous acuracy, and since they have been employed in trac- ing criminals where the cleverest of human sleuths failed to locate them

Mime HeIvetius, a still more inti-

 of a literary man of some celebrity, and she and Franklin were always carrying on an absurd sort of flirta- ton. They hugged and kissed each other in public. and exchanged extra vagant notes which were sometimes mock proposals of marriage. although some have supposed them to have been real ones.

INVESTIGATING
t.t.
THE EXPLOSION
Dead Will Number Thirty and
Property Damage Between
$75o,0o0 and $1,0oo,oo0

New York, Feb. 2.-Three separate
Investigations were started this morn
ing to fix the responsibility for the
dynamite explosion in New York har-
Dor yesterday. One will be conduct
ed by the coroner's jury under Cor
oner James M. Houghton of Jersey
City, another by Inspector of Com
bustibles James M. Connolly of Jer-
sey City, and the third by Public
Prosecutor Pierre p. Garven of Hud-
son county, N. ].
The Jersey City police and the fed
three Investigations.
Definite estimates of the number
Of dead are still impossible The to-
tai dead and missing is thirty. The
list of the dead in the hands of the
coroner is seven and it is the oflci-'
ais belief that most Of the twenty
three men who he classes as miss.
ing" were blown to atoms. The prop
erty loss. according to various Of
ficials estimates, will be between
$750,o00 and $1,OO0,OO0. The heaviest
sufferer in this respect is the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, at whose
docks the disaster occurred.
None of the Investigations was ex.
pected to result in action during the
day, Coroner James NJ. Houghton not
beginning his formal inquest until
next Tuesday, and the police summon
ing witnesses to appear next Wednes-
day night at police headquarters,
while Prosecutor Garvin said it would
probably take his several days to COW
er all the ground necessary for his
inquiry. Meanwhile the process of
searching the debris on the scene of
the explosion was being diligently
prosecuted. No bodies in addition t.
the five already recovered were found
and owing to the presence of quanti-
ties of unexploded dynamite mixed
with the wreckage, the work pro-
ceeded carefully and slowly.
