Artificial Lakes.

A German investigator has found
that the large artificial lakes formed
for irrigation purposes or to supply
water for large cities, are not with
out influence on the climate OF the sur
rounding locality In one instance
that came under his notice, there has
been during the ten years since the
dam was constructed and the lake
formed. decrease Of IL degree Fab
renheit in the average monthly differ
ence between maximum and minimum
temperatures In the neighborhood
OF another lake the number OF foggy
DAYS has increased from the average
of fifty-seven each year to eighty-six.
The German Investigator says that
this Increase can be assigned to no
other cause than the creation OF the
great artificial lake and the conse-
ouent Increased evaporation in the To-
cality Popular Mechanics.

Reindeer Industry.
In regard to the reindeer industry
DR.. Campbell is very optimistic. not
withstanding an effort was made FEW
years ago to discredit the whole ven
ture.
"The government established a herd
OF seventy deer on the island In 1900,
he says "and 1t now numbers six hum
dred and eighty. and many have been
killed for food and clothing. This may
not be done at will, but is entirely un-
der government regulation.
"Only about thirty-five at present
belong to the government, the rest
having been given out to the herders
in lieu of wages. Our chief herder,
Sapillu. has 200 head from bis earnings
and their increase.
"The teaching in the public school
| is not unlike ours, including industrial
training and music. In addition to this
the schoolhouse. which is also our
home. is open to the public evenings

Is the Building and Loan Association
which several young men have already
established and built sanitary cabini
for themselves and wives.

The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re-

work is to make new blood. That they
do this well is shown by the gradual
disappearance of the symptoms and
the return of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured ansemia, after-effects of the grip

mended wherever tonic for the blood

Hnn Interesting ,ooman to read
ff about under these circum-
Q01 stances than Mary Ball
the mother Of George Washington.
Fredericksburg, Virginia. her birthplace,
is one Of the most historic towns In
America. Founded long before the
Revolution, upon the Rappahannock
Riuer, it has been for generations the
centre Of social life in that ich region
known as the northern neck Of Virginia,
phere Dere born and bred 50 many of
the great Fathers of american Liberty.
Within radius of thirty miles were
born John Marshall. George Washing
ton. George Mason, 7hon,a, Jefferson.
James Madison. James Monroe, Matthew
Fontaine Mau.y and Robert E. Lee.
~ WAS also in this little town of
Fredericksburg that a convention
les of horse assembled and pro-
claimed their purpose to defend the
colony of Virginia or any other colony
against the king of England,e and
marched under the command Of Pat
rick Henry against Lord Dunmore.
This occurred twenty-one days before
the famous Declaration of Mecklen-
burg and was therefore the first and
most emphatic declaration of our in
dependence.
It is also worthy of note that In
1882, when that independence had
been accomplished, it was a citizen of
Fredericksburg who introduced into
the legislature, which had then been
replaced by the house of burgesses,
the first resolution for the emancipa-
ton Of the negroes and for the prohi-
bition of the slave trade ever offered,
in America. Gen. John Minor of
Fredericksburg, was the author and
advocate of the measure, and here in
this same town was born, lived and
died Mary Ball, the mother Of Wash
ington.
