In Myths of the Hindus and Bud
dhists" is given this account of the
origin of Hinduism: Hinduism is, in
fact, an immense synthesis, deriving its
elements from a hundred different di-
rections and incorporating every con-
ceivable motive of religion The mo-
tives of religion are manifold. Earth
worship, sun worship, nature worship
sky worship, honor paid to heroes and
ancestors, mother worship, father wor-
ship, prayers for the dead, the mystic
association of certain plants and ami
mals-all these and more are included
within Hinduism. And each marks
some single age Of the past, with its
Characteristic conjunction or invasion
of races formerly alien to one another.
They are all welded together now to
form a great whole. But still by visits
to outlying shrines, by the study of the
literature of certain periods and by
carefully following up of threads it is
possible to determine what were some

Italy's Deep Blue Skies.

The sky of Italy is noted for Its
clearness. The blue is deeper not be-
cause the dust there is finer than in
the northern countries, but because
In the countries of the north, due to
the greater GOODNESS of the air, the
vapor more readily condenses upon
the dust particles. The dust particles
thus become larger and consequently
not so effective in turning back the
blue rays alone, but others are also
reflected, and a grayish effect is pro-
duced. In single location the blue
of the sky may appear bluef at one
time than another. The sky is often
times said to be very blue when some
white cumulus clouds are outlined
against 1t. The sky is then a deep
blue by contrast with the brilliant
white. After shower, when the
lower stratum Of air is washed of its
coarse dust particles, deeper and
purer blue is the result.

'Absinth." he said, rs an invention

SO carefully as did Sir Tatton Sykes,
who in winter wore five or six coats

touch of cold in the air he had fires

rhe LabeIed Children of old Canton.

Inc LapeIeo CniIdren OF via Nantons
The crowded water front of the old
Canton Of century ago, with its
thronging sampans alive from stem to
stern with swarming children, is
wildly pictured in the Memoirs of
william Hickey" In his account of
the innumerable boats that covered
the river for mile after mile Mr..
Hickey describes a novel method of
protecting the children of the floating
city from the dangers of the water.
Each child wore a large vegetable
something like gourd or pumpkin
fastened to its back. The vegetable
was buoyant of course, and, If the In
FAINT fell overheard, floated 1t until the
child was picked up by its parents or
the occupants of any other sampan
that happened to be near. This vege-
table life preserver had the name and
station of the sampan to which it be-
longed cut In Chinese characters upon
it, and by that means the rescuers
could at once identify the child; other
wise in such multitude of boats
great confusion would have arisen. 1t
scarcely ever happened that any one
was drowned.

FAVORS STATE
RECLAMATION
SENATOR j. r. BROWN OF CASA
GRANDE PRESENTS STRONG
ARGUMENT FOR PASSAGE OF
THE STATE RECLAMATION ACT.

The proposed State Reclamation
Act, which is to be voted upon by
the electors of the staUe at the forth
coming general election, is claiming
considerable attention on behalf OF
the workingmen of the state. BY
the state engaging in, or financing,
the construction of reclamation pro-
jects there will be provided thOus-
ands of homes upon irrigated land
for the workingmen of Arizona.
The argument in favoor of this bill
as submitted by Senator Brown OF
Casa Grande is as follows:
/. 1t will not increase taxes since
the cost of reclamation is assessed
finally against the lands benefited
2. 1t will reduce taxation by the
creation of property greatly in ex-
cess of the cost of the projects that
may be undertaken under this bill
8. Arizona farms will bear safe
ly higher capitalization than those
of any other state, since they are
naturally more productive, due to
mild winter, long growing season, and
great fertility.
4. National reclamation is con-
ceded to be good, but Arizona has
received more than her share of the
federal funds; further development
must be done by the state.

ious counties of Arizona millions of
acres recalimable by impounded or
