good idea of the formidable nature
of the enterprise, and the immense
scale on which the work has been car
ried out. 1t shows how the huge
pipe has been carried down one side
of the arid Jawbone canyon, across the
bottom of the valley and high up on
the opposite side to the point where it
dives below the surface of the soil,
and is continued underground.
The JaWbone siphon alone is 5000
feet in length-or over one and a half
miles-measures from seven feet six
inches to ten feet in diameter, and
has total weight of $500 tons. The
picture is taken looking north, from
the south rim of the canyon and 500
feet above the valley floor, and be-
tween the bottom of the canyon and
the point on it's side where the pipe
plunges underground the difference in
level is $50 feet. At the lowest point
the water pressure is enormous-35O
pounds to the square inch, which is
equivalent to twenty-four atmospheres
and to resist this internal pressure
on the pipe the steel here is one and
one-quarter inches in thickness, the
rivets used in fastening the sections
together being seven inches long.

MANY CLIMATES IN ALASKA
But There Is One Island Where Cold
Weather Is Absolutely I'm
known.

There isn't section of the United
States, venture to say where at some
time frost has not been known" re-
marked Hugh c.. Todd of Seattle,
chairman of the Democratic state
committee of Washington, at the Will
lard, according to the Washington
Post. But in Alaska, which is looked
upon as the coolest country on earth,
bar Greenland and the arctic region.
there is an island where frost has
never been heard of. This is Middle
ton island, one of the Aleutian group
of islands close to the Japan current.
There the temperature is always mild.
Twenty miles away on the other side
of the islands, it is nearly always
freezing-in fact, is country of such
varied climate that almost anything
can be produced. 1t is possible to
grow strawberries, blackberries and
other early summer fruit for the win
ter market In the Susitna valley,
which is the valley that distributes
the waters of the southern slope of
the coast range, the weather, I ven
in any part of the United States. That
is brought about, of course, by the
Japan current"
Mr.. Todd is the youngest chairman
in the country, it is said. He was
candidate for governor of Washing
ton in the primaries and was defeated
by Governor Listen by only 800 votes.
Then he turned in and managed Gov
ernor Listers campaign and won
victory.
Washington state is a common
wealth that is just as widely diversi-
fed in her politics as her resources,
said Mr.. Todd. 1--WE can produce near
ly everything, and we raise all kinds
of politicians. In the recent election

fragists, Prohibitionists and Socialists

STOPS FEELING OF HUNGER
frightened Belt Does Away With Many
Pangs That AffIict the Penni-
less Unfortunate.

Why the vagrant, bereft of the
price of as much as a morsel of food,
tightens his belt and endures the
pangs of hunger with less discomfort,
has been explained by a series OF
tests conducted by DR.. R. Lenhof,
German investigator. He finds that
pressure upon the stomach governs
the appetite 1t was shown that the
simple act of swallowing caused the
stomach to contract by refexion thus
fastening satiations. When solid food
was swallowed the contraction was
seen, a relatively small amount being
needed to satisfy the appetite. When,
however, liquid was taken, it required
almost double the amount before the
subject declares his hunger satisfied.
The swallowing Of the liquid caused
less contraction. When liquid was
given through a tube, obViating the
necessity of swallowing, twice as
much was necessary as before. In
all cases persons eating as they
pleased took less food when wearing
a tight belt around the waist than
when without the belt When, how
ever, liquid food was indicted through
a tube, the belt or its absence had no
effect whatever. Swallowing, there
fore, plays some part even when aid
ed by artificial pressure. The OBJ
servations were made with the X-ray.

Ancient City Inundated.

The sea inundated the ancient Sus-
sex town of Winchelsea, England, re-
Gently. The town is no longer on
the marsh 1t is on the sea once
more, just as 1t was when William
the Conqueror stepped ashore in 1866.
When the tide is high the sea rolls
In over the famous sheep-fattening
marsh lands A recent night when
the storm was high, the sea washed
away the mud V-all which the commits
sioners of Pett Level had built along
the beach, three or four miles across
the marsh from Winchelsea, and
rushed in over the marsh up to Old
Winchelsea. Winchelsea has known
other foundations. In 1850 the sea
swept in and destroyed 300 houses, so
that a new town had to be built.
Once again, in 1887, all the fat land
between Petit and Winchelsea was
washed over, and the town was again
destroyed After that the present
Winchelsea was begun. Among those
who work on the marsh-or did until
the inundation-there is much indig-
nation that the commissioners only
built a mud wall to keep out so fierce
a foe as the sea, and there is grow
ing call for vigorous measures to be
taken to recover the land which the
sea has stolen and to restore the
marsh to the fat lambs.

HARTSEL ON JOHNSON EDICT
Manager of Toledo Club Says It Is
Ridiculous to Thinks Ball
Player Can Write.

The recent edict of Ban Johnson
forbidding players to act in the ca
pacity of reporters or critics Of base
ball may cause some dissatisfaction,
but the rank and file of the army of
baseball players join in the declara-
ton that Ban made just one more
wise move.
"Topsy" Hartsel, the blond-domed
manager of the Toledo club, was
commenting on Bans verdict: "The
line of stuff written by ball players in
the past" said Topsy, did no one
any good except themselves and did
much harm for host of other play
ers and for the game itself.
I'm the first place it is ridiculous
to insinuate that a player can write,
as it is that a writer can play.
''In the second place, 981a per cent.
of the articles over which appeared
the names of ball players never were
written by players.
''In the third place the player has
not the judgment nor the power of
discrimination. His lack of expert
ence prevents him from looking at
the future results.
"a magazine article written by Ed
die Collins few years ago created
havoc with the Athletics. Collins re-
vealed the entire system of the club.
