You know her as Eva Booth, COM
msnder of the Salvation Army in
America.
But did you know she also is Eva
Booth, honorary president of the
United Order of Reformed Boozers?
This is no joke. It is one of the
outgrowths of the Salvationists' work
of which she is most proud.
The Industrial homes, a f1ourishing
example of which now is operating
IN Washington, is another of her pet
hobbies. Then there are the farms
for children. the rescue work among
girls.
But perhaps the real news OF Com
nander Booths visit is the an
nouncement that the army is
planning to put a matron on every

,iations now are under way with all
the great railroads. and many of
them have promised their co-opera-

EXPLAINING THE ELECTRIC
GENERATOR

1t is not hard to understand the
machine which produces the electrical
energy which we use for light, heat
and power.
The modern power house generator.
commonly called dynamo, is COM
posed OF two essential parts as fol-
lows: First, the magnetic field, which
is produced by permanent magnets.
as in the magnetic, or by electro-mag-
nets, as in larger generators; second,
the moving coil OF copper wire, called
the armature, wound on revolving
iron ring or drum. In a generator that
has electromagnetic, and that weighs.
say, 500 pounds, the active material
forms about AZ per cent OF the total
weight of the machine. This active
material Is composed OF iron and cop
per, in the proportion OF about IS per
cent of iron to about 25 per cent of
copper.
The current is produced by revolv-
ing the armature within the magnetic
field 1t takes considerable power to
overcome the pull Of the field mag
nets and it is this energy which is
changed into electricity and sent out
over the line for our use.

WHY BABIES DIE.

The mothers knowledge as to the
proper care OF her baby is popularity
supposed to be instructive and uner-
ring.
Unfortunately, the mother herself
holds to this view. in spite of her row
of little graves in the cemetery.
In spite OF all, she clings to the be-
lief that she knows how to have rear
ed her babies perfectly, if only they
hadn't died. Their death, she is con-
WINGED, is solely due to the will OF the
Lord, against which all human know
ledge, even instructive, is helpless.
The scientific fact is, as shown in
a carefully prepared report of the
New York Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor. that an
enormous proportion of the deaths OF
babies is due directly to the reckless
Ignorance and almost criminal care
lessness Of mothers.
The number of deaths Of infants in
this country Is startling when seen
represented in cold figures Statistics
| show that of every 1000 deaths those
Of infants under one year are 21O in
the cities and 1856 in the country
One Of the most important steps
made in science in long time Is that
by which thousands Of babies are now
being snatched from death and hun
dreds Of others rescued from lifelong
invalidism. 1t has been demonstrated
that at least half the mortality among
babies is preventable.
1t is an antique stock joke that
none know so much about raising
babies as old maids. Well, the fact
is that corps of unmarried women
especially trained, are teaching the
mothers of New York how to feed
| and otherwise care for their babies
and are thus turning thousands Of
sickly and fretful infants into healthy

VOLUME OF TEXAS RIVERS.

The determination of the amount OF
water flowing in the streams of the
Rio Grande basin, which covers the
greater part of New Mexico. large
acres in southern Colorado. and a
considerable territory in Texas and

to that region, which is for the most
part an arid agricultural country. en-
tirely dependent on its streams for
irrigation
Water-Supply Paper 32S, just issued
by the United State Geological Sur

discharge of the Rio Grande and its

that OF .Brazos river and Colorado riv-
er of Texas.
The data are Of international i'm.
portance for 1t is alleged that the in
equitable diversion OF the water In
both Colorado. and New Mexico has
destroyed large agricultural values In
Mexico. Certain issues have also
arisen between the states of New
Mexico and Colorado because the peo-
pie of New Mexico contend that dis
proportionate part of the water of the
Rio Grande originating in Colorado is
diverteG in that state, to the detri-
ment of interests in New Mexico.
These international and interstate
complications are now being inyesti-
gated under competent authority, and
the results Of the stream-fow meas
urements contained in this report of
the Geological Survey conttitute a
part Of the evidence that will be used
in the final decisions. In addition to
the results procured by the Survey
in cooperation with the states Of New
Mexico and Colorado, the report con-
tains records of the discharge of the

PANAMA CANAL.

The advantage OF a canal across the
Isthmus Of Panama his long been real
ized More than three centuries ago
Samuel de Champlain, whose name is
perpetuated in the large lake on the
boundary between New York and YER
mont, made visit to the city of
Mexico, from whence he journeyed to
Panama. Here he noted the POSSIBLE
ity of ship canal being constructed
across the isthmus, whereby as he
later recorded in an account of his
journeys, 'the voyage to the South
sea would be shortened by more than
fifteen hundred leagues"
Champlain's works, set OF which
is to be found in the library OF the
State Historical society of Iowa at
Iowa City. are very interesting, not
only because they contain an account
of some of the earliest explorations
