A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.

The solitudes Of the ocean, of which
sentimentalists have written and poets
sung, have given way before the peal
OF the clock bell. There is no such
thing as watery waste, at least not
to the vessel equipped with wireless
apparatus. Twice each day at II
o'clock the hour will strike at the
Eiffel tower, in Paris, and be waited
out over the Atlantic for range Of
5000 miles. Standard Greenwich time
will be announced, and every ship
blowing along between America and
Europe may compute the exact chron-
ometric time, says the st. Paul Dis
patch. The value Of this ringing Of
the hour is in connection with the de-
termination of the precise position Of
the ship in calculating its latitude and
longitude and it's importance is appar-
ent when 1t is known that a chrome
metric error Of a second Of time
means an error Of az miles in the pc.
sition of the vessel. This is a vast
achievement of science. The Eiffel
tower is especially adapted for the
service it is to render, and is equipped
without an equal in the world. From
Its aerials, at height of 984 feet, the
Hertzian waves, impelled by voltage
OF 100000. have been sent 5000 miles
and messages were distinctly heard at
the special station at Nova Scotia.
When suitable receivers have been in.
stalled at New York it is expected that
communication will be clearer and
easy

A PROBLEM AHEAD.

Sporting slang of the time when
Corbett was champion spoke of one
ipugilist going around another like
cooper around barrel" But not many
coopers are going around barrels now
adays, says the Toledo Blade. The
trick is performed by machine
which. fed the materials, turns out the
finished product as the engineer regu-
lates the steam. Carloads Of scrap
iron go into furnace yard at one end
and come out in the shape of ingots at
the other, the amount of hand labor
being proportioned to the faith or dis.
trust the management may have in
new-fangled contrivances. The bottle
machine soon may be making most
OF the common household utensils, and
there are rumors that the glass fac
tories may cease to manufacture in
candescent light globes, the electrical
companies getting their supply from
mechanism stuck away in a corner of
the plant, where it won't be in the
way and won't heat things all up. Ma
chinery comes in. Skilled labor de-
parts or radically changes its way Of
working. More machinery comes. The
unskilled labor goes. Where will 1t
end? Invention will not, cannot be
stayed. Evolution proceeds remorse.

painfully trained cleverness, for the

professor testified that the turtle was
more nearly related to the birds than
the fishes, but the defense took the
ground that it was not an animal, but
fish, and the judge instructed the

laws forbidding cruelty to animals
should not be broad enough to cover
more than warm-blooded animals.

Some Comparison

Over twenty-five million
people now live within the ir-
rigation lands of the United
States. But they are not a
drop in the bucket compared
to what this vast and rich
territory will no doubt sup
port within not many years
away.
The Nile irrigation terri
tory of Egypt is not one-half
as large as that of California
alone. And yet the produc-
ton as a result of the water
drawn from the Nile, sup
ports five millions of people
and pays interest on a nation
al debt half as large as that
of the United States. Con
slider also all of the other
Western states and territories
wherein vast domains of land
are being opened for irriga-
ton, and you will appreciate
that at no far distant day this
part of our great country will
be wonderful in it's develop
ment. 1t will then hold the
balance of political power as
against the East. The great
est of civilizations in ancient
times were founded where
irrigation played its great
part. The West is destined
to be the greatest part of the
United States in population
and wealth.
So apparent are the benefits
of irrigation to the whole
country that the United
States government is develop
ing and conserving millions
of acres of land and the past
ten years have seen many
