presented a reversal OF traditions.
Reclamation In the past has been al
most wholly a matter vt bringing wa
ter to the arid lands The process Of
removing water which had soaked and
swallowed up land has been attempted
but seldom.
1.-THE reclamation Of overwatered
lands" says Secretary Lane. ITO be Of
real value must be preceded by sys-
tematic work on the channels or the
streams draining the areas to be I'M
proved. The disaster at Dayton Illus
trates the point. The trouble was sim.
My that the neck of the bottle was too
small for the water to run out. The
rain fell in torrents. and with no unob-
efructed channel to the sea the water
simply backed up over the river banks.
The rainstorm. know. was phenome-
nal and even with the system | have
suggested would have doubtless result
"a IN material damage and the loss OF
some lives. But nood conditions reap
pear every spring In some noticeable
wav. and nv plan would obviate most
Of the resulting damage
sIt viii not do for Ohio or Indiana
or even the two states together to
spend their money generously in clear
ing the beds Of the streams within
their boundaries. That would merely
carry the food more swiftly to the
state lines to the south. and the water
would back more angrily than ever
into what would quickly be great
lakes
Mr.. Lane illustrated the manner in
which the states and the federal gov
eminent might cooperate by mention
ina the method followed In Oregon. In
reclaiming the arid lands Of Oregon
the state supplies the water. which Is
under government ownership. and
e4hls0O0 for the work. The federal
government supplies its engineers and

REBUILDING Pompeii.

When first they began to dig out
long buried Pompeii everything found
there was taken to Naples, lea wing
nothing in the excavated places but
the bare ruined walls. OF late years

the smaller objects OF interest and re-
producing roughly the houses uncov-

Mr. Foster gained fame while here
principally through his advocacy of
the whipping post for men who !nis-
treSt women. He set forth the exam
pie of the whipping posts results In
England as proof of its efficacy. He
declared that bis country had virtual
ly broken the organized traffic in the
social evil through the use Of the lash
on the backs Of those found guilty.
His society mainly gives its atten-
ton to the aiding Of women employed
in sweatshops and at all manner Of III
paid labor. Mr.. Foster expressed
strong advocacy for minimum wage
and a child labor law preventing the
explolta tion Of children In the factories
Mr. Fosters mission to this country
had been to raise funds for his society,
but he found soon after arriving that
this was hard task. Whereas his So
ciety needed $5OO.OOO according to his
claim. another rival society sent com
munications frop London saying theirs
was tho only worthy organization. and
they counseled against Americans Civ
