Too Much Repetition.

''In America" says contempo- rary, we need more things. Be 1t ever so homely. Smiths pond, if the original name. is better than Fairy Glen lake, or any other fanciful ap- pellation. The difficulty is. there may be dozen Smiths ponds or Smith villes in the same state. Even a good name may be used too often For in- stance, there are said to be ten Lin. coln streets and avenues in the newly amaigamated city of Pittsburg. It is the confusing repetition of names. quite as much as the lack of invention shown in bestowing them. that often causes dissatisfaction with familiar names"

nNcE MORE WORLDS GRANARl
Turkish Government Induiges In Ars bilious Schemes for Development
 of Mesopotamia.

In spite of it's external troubles. the Turkish government is engaged in ad- vancing the big schemes for the de- veiopment of Mesopotamia, which. when completed, will result in the transformation of an arid desert re. zion as extensive as the Nile valley into smiling cOrnfelds.
 The sum involved in the huge ir. rigation works which will be neces. ,ary to accomplish this transformation is put at some S150,000,000, and the immediate concern of the Turkish au- thorities is to place d contract for the initial stage Of the schemes. which provides for irrigation works In con neetion with the barrage which con- trols the flood water of the River Flu pirates. at present under construc- tion.
 Some Idea of the vast importance of these schemes may be gathered from the fact that their accomplishment will enable sufficient grain to be grown to affect the wheat markets of the whole world. In the olden days the whole of the Euphrates delta was irrigated. and the luxurious growth of grain excited the wonder of Greek travellers, who visited the East Ac- cording to Herodotus. the soil yielded three hundred.fold. and there is no doubt that these alluvial flats were one of the chief granaries of the world
 The whole story of these regions Is a romance. It is still the popular be- lief that the Garden of Eden was sit uated here. In any event, in Chaldean times the delta was one vast garden; the whole plain was studded with prosperous and populous cities. set in the midst of engirdling areas of wheat Indeed it was from this very region that wheat. at first found in wild and uncultivated state. was taken and gradually transplanted all over the world
