A HUGE EARTH DAM.
7elle Fourehe Project Undertaken by
The Government at Cost Of 5000, 900.

The Government at Cost OF S5,OOO,OOO.
The big Belle Fourche irrigation
lam in South Dakota. is the
argest earth embankment in the
,orld. Construction of the project
vas authorized by Congress on May
0, 1904. at a cost of S5,000,000.
From an engineering standpoint the
ielle Fourche project is one of the
cost interesting which the Govern.
ent has yet undertaken. Its
principal structure is the earthen
lam. This wonderful dixie, which
closes the lowest depressions in the
rim of a natural basin, is $500 feet
long, 20 feet wide on top and 1l5
feet high in the highest place.
The inside face Of this structure,
which has a slope OF to 1, will be
protected from wave and ice action
by 2 feet of screened gravel, on
which will be placed concrete blocks,
e1ch 4 by feet and inches thick.
The cubical contents OF this dixie will
be 42,700,000 cubic feet, or about half
of the famous pyramid of Cheops.
The reservoir created by this dam
will cover about 5000 acres, and will
be the largest lake in the State
Popular Mechanics.

Elk Invade Washington Farms.

The heavy SHOWS in the Olympic
Mountains drove herds of elk down
to this section and have grown fat on
the hay and straw belonging to ranch
ers. Farmers generally take the in
vason philosophically and several Of
them have gone to the length Of put
ting out fodder for the half starved
animals. 1t is unlawful to kill elk in
this State until 1915. In the mean.
while the elk may roam at will on
the farmers land. Many of the ranch
ers figure that by feeding and harbor-
ing the elk they may stay on their
farms until after the closed season
ends in 1915. Elk are more plentiful
in the mountain regions than gen.
orally supposed and are increasing.

Wild Turkey In virginia.

In King George county, Virginia,
wild turkeys have been unusually
plentiful. In a number of instances
they Joined fiocks of domestic turkeys
In barnyards. On the premises Of
Chapman Price, Belle Isle, wild
turkey joined the flock of fowls in the
yard and when Price walked toward
1t the fowl became entangled in a
wire fence and was caught. Alexander
Pott, one of the best shots in King
George county, frightened some wild
fowl away from his flock of turkeys
and succeeded in shooting one as 1t
flew away in the direction Of the
woods.-Washington Star.

Liqht and Sound Waves.

With reference to our ability to tell
the direction from which sound pro-
ceeds, attention may be called to an
interesting difference between the eyes
and the ears in relation to the size Of
the waves that strike them. The av-
erage wave length of light is about
one ten-thousandth of the diameter of
the pupil of the eye. On the other
hand, according to Rayleigh, the waves
of sound proceeding from mans
mouth are about eight feet long,
whereas the diameter Of the passage
of the ear is quite small and could not
we'll have been made large multiple
Of eight feet. One consequence Of the
minuteness Of light waves in compari'
son with the size of the eyes is that
the lenses Of the eyes are able to con-
centrate rays Of light upon the retina
with great efficiency.-Scientific Amer

Or. johnson and Fruit.

The return of the strawberry season
was always heartily welcomed by Dr.
Johnson, for, as he once declared, Of
strawberries and cream he never could
have too much. Fortunately he some
times had opportunity to indulge his
taste to the full, for his friend, DR..
Taylor of Lichfeld, whom he con-
trived when possible to visit at straw
berry time, was rather a noted fruit
grower, and when at his house it was,
as johnson said. with gusto, STRAW
berries and cream, toujours strawber-
ries and creamr A voracious eater at
any time, Johnson's appetite for fruit
was almost limitless. Mrs. Thrale
tells us that he used often to eat half
a dozen peaches before breakfast, and
then frequently she had heard him
complain that never in all his life had
he quite as much wall fruit as he de-
sired, save once. The exceptional oc-
casion was during n visit to Lord San
dys seat at Ombersley. The exact
quantity he then devoured has not
been recorded. but he was accused Of
clearing a whole wall side.-Pall Mall

A Watchmaker,s Ingenuity.

A despatch in French newspaper
from Berlin recounts the remarkable
achievements Of matchmaker, one
Carron a Pole. The fame of Carron
had reached the ears of the Gear. His
Majesty ordered that some brass
nails, some wood splinters, piece
of glass and broken cup and lengths
or iron wire should be sent to the
craftsman with the command that he
should turn this material into a
watch. The porcelain cup served as
the case and the works were made Of
the other material. The Gar was
surprised to receive the completed
work in an incredibly short time.-

The Lieht of Crystals.

All diamonds do not shine in the

degree. A diamond rubbed with a

A variety of white marble found at
Hastings -on-the- Hudson, n. Y, gives

found a kind of stone known locally
as "hell fire rock" which exhibits
bright sulphur colored streaks when
