PAGANInI HELPED HER.
The Great violinist Didn't Play the
Miser on This Occasion.

The Great vioIinist Didn't Play the
Miser on This Occasion.
The following story places Paganini
In better light than this musical
miser was accustomed to appear. And
really one is led to wonder which is
the true Paganini-the miser or the
kind artist giving his talent to assist
poor servant girl. One morning the
maid who waited on him in Paris
came to him, weeping, and told how
her lover had been conscripted and
sent away to the war, and she, of
course, was too poor to buy substi-
tute for him.
Paganini resolved to aid the girl and
took a unique way to do It. he pro-
cured a wooden shoe and SO fashioned
It that It could be strung up and
played like O fiddle. Then be adver-
tised that he would give concert and
play five pieces on the violin and five
on wooden shoe. OF course this
strange announcement drew good
house. The violinist had given the girl
tickets to the concert, and after it was
over he went to her, and, pouring 10000
francs into her lap. he told her that
she could now purchase substitute
for her sweetheart and with the re-
mainder set up housekeeping. He also
gave her the wooden shoe that had
brought her such good fortune and
told her to sell 1t. OF course this curl
Gus instrument brought her a goodly
sum, which she added to the amount
which was to bring her domestic hap

THE. MAGNETIC NEEDLE.
II 10 Quite Often Very Far From Being
True to the Pole.

true 70 Lne rVl6s
'True as the needle to the pole" like
many another popular saying, conveys
a distinctly erroneous impression. In
order to keep itself duly informed as
to the unfaithfulness Of the needle to
the pole, or technically, the variation
of the compass" from the true north,
our government maintains q division
Of terrestrial magnetism.
Not only does the magnetic needle
vary at different places, but the varia-
tion changes from year to year and
even at different times In the day. On
magnetic survey charts those places
which at a particular time have the
same amount Of variation are connect
ed by what is known as an isogonic, or
equal variation line. Through these
points on the map in which there is no
variation Of the needle from the true
north line known as the agonic
passes.
Iron deposits and mountain ranges
modify the action of the unknown
causes Of the periodical variation and
cause these lines to become even more
crooked than those which mark equal
temperatures. known as isothermal
lines.
Isogonic charts may be accurate to-
day and full of small errors in few
years. The famous Mason and Dixon's
line between Pennsylvania and Mary
land, which was surveyed in the years
1868 to 1767, was run by the stars
and not by the needle, great piece of
foresight in that day. If 1t had been
surveyed by the compass in 1900 1t
would have shown a deviation in some
places of two miles, and had the line
been run by uncorrected compass
hundred years later, in 1900, the varia.
tion would have reached nearly nine

Some idea Of the magnitude Of the


irrigation work which has been un-
dertaken by the national government
is gained from recent reports which
show that from the passage in 1902
Of the law authorizing these irriga-
tion enterprises up to the present
there has been expended $40, ,000, 900,
while $48,000,000 will be available
for use during the next four years. AS
soon as the tracts on which this mon
ey is to be expended are put under
ditch and sold the money received
will be returned to the fund. to be
used in similar manner for the devel-
opment of other enterprises. Oregon
has contributed so. .412.000 to the gov
ernment reclamation fund; Oregon
has received $3.50. 600 from this
fund and part Of this amount was
spent In California; Oregon gave 14.16
per cent of the total amount Of sales
from public lands in arid and semi
arid districts; Oregon received jointly
with California 3 Ia per cent Of these
funds. That the act of 1902 providing
for the expending Of money received
from sales of public lands intended
that the state in which the sales were
made should receive the major benefit
and that tho intent Of this act is In
sharp contrast with the apparently
shabby treatment received ty Oregon,
ia evidenced to a great extent by the
manner in which reclamation of arid
lands In the state is retarded.
