It is from this circuit that the acts

through the help and cooperation OF
Mr.. Fowler, the local manager that
the fair people were able to secure this
wonderful attraction.

Draining Stpamp Lands.

While the nation has been jogging on
progressively, taking up such tasks as
OF the Panama Canal. building an
Alaskan railroad, and the retaining
Of vast acreage in the west, there re.
mains another mans size" job that
is nearer home than anything else to
the powerful Members from the south,
who exercise such dominant influence
in affairs in Washington. Legislation
providing for reclamation of millions
of acres of swamp land scattered
throughout the country, and especially
through the south. is being considered
atthe present time by Secretary Lane of
the Interior Department, whose master
mind appears to dominate this class of
endeavor. 1t has long been pointed out
that some of the best soil of the Amer.
lean continent lies in what is known as
the solid south, 'and to redeem it does
not require the expensive treatment
that has necessary in the west. The
problems of the swamplands of the
south are simply those of drainage, and
when drainage Is furnish there will be
thousands of new and productive farms
which at the present time are breeding
place for mosquitoes and malaria germs.
Speaker Champ Clark has a bin to
accomplish the desired purpose in the
House of Representatives and Senator
John S. Williams is the author of a
measure favorably received in the
Senate. However, not all of the lands
are in the southern states, as Michigan.
Minnesota, and Wisconsin have large
tracts which are included in the pend
ing bills. There are some splendid en-
gineering problems to be encountered
before the work of draining vast areas
of swamp land can be started, but it is
thought that all these problems will be
easier than the one of reclamation of
the arid lands in the west. Il is point
ed out that in many cases the swamps
can be draized by gravity, while in
the case OF tide marshes water must be
controlled by flood gates and dikes.
Likewise pumping stations and wind
m i'll pumps such as are used for the
purpose in Holland can be brought in
to play. 1t is variously estimated that
in some cases the drainage can be ac-
complished at from seventy cents to
one dollar an acre in southern states,
while in other sections the cost may
run as high as twenty dollars. Never
theless, drained swamp lands have the
advantage of being close to centers of
population and markets, and within
easy distance of the best transportation
facilities.
Since the civil war the south has
been contemplating waking up for the
purpose Of letting the water drain off
their slluvial soil, and now it appears
that there is really some prospect of
this thing being done

TWO GULF STREAMS.
The One Of Air Is What Creates the
Deserts of the East.


The gulf stream, as every one knows,
is broad river Of warm water which
starts in the gulf Of Mexico, wanders
Dcross the cold Atlantic ocean and
bumps into the British isles, giving
them a warm climate and no end of fog
and rain. But few people know that In
the atmosphere above there is q second
gulf stream Of warm, moist air.
This slow, damp breeze strikes the
British isles and does not carom off
like the gulf stream but continues over
Europe. AS 1t passes over Sweden, Fin
land and northern Russia these cold
lands chill the wind and cause 1t to
drop its moisture in the form of rain.
The lakes and rivers of these northern
countries are all supplied by the mois-
ture taken up from the gulf stream.
The rotation of the earth makes this
wind veer gradually to the southwark
about the time it has given up the last
Of its moisture and warmth. AS a
mighty draft of dry. cold air. the gulf
stream wind moves on across the plains
of Russia. AS it approaches the eGua-
tor the wind warns again, but becomes
ever drier.
At last, as it sweeps over Turkestan,
Arabia and Sahara, it evaporates like
great sheet of blotting paper all water
it meets, forming the deserts Of Turke-
stan, Sahara and Arabia Fortunately
this devastating wind now leaves the
continent, becomes the trade winds and
returns to its starting point at the gulf
of Mexico.
Several somewhat visionary schemes
have been suggested for altering the
course Of the gulf stream. One of the
immediate results of any such change
would be the shifting Of the present
deserts to other parts Of the world
New York American.
