the Miami basin above Dayton during
the hve-day storm Of March, 1913. A
system Of six or seven dams has been
planned with sufficient capacity to
hold back 40,000,0OO,0O0 cubic feet.
These dams will be built of earth, will
be from 40 to 70 feet high, and will
be placed across the valley from hill to

concrete tunnels, large enough to al

1t must be written in truth that the

MILLION YEARS AGO.

Low Order.

Flint implements which because OF
the thickness Of the patina given to
them by exposure are estimated to be
at least 100000 years old and be-
heVed to prove that man existed at
that remote time in the valley Of the
Nile, with sufficient intelligence to

ciety, is at the exhibition.
Exposure to the elements for 100 600
years leaves patina on flint the depth
OF a mans fingernail. The patina on
some OF the weapons shown, dating
back to the paleolithic and mesolithic
periods, Is nearly half an inch thick.
These relics form the beginning of a
display which has been arranged in
chronological order, showing the art
or Egypt down to the present day.
One of the most interesting things is
Hint weapon on which is the finger
print Of man made In slime a quar-
ter or million years ago. The flint
was cast aside, and as there was no
rain the particles OF silica in the slime
hardened and made "Bertillon" rec.
ord OF the mans thumb and finger.
There is flint hoe the age Of which
is estimated at 10000 years and a
stone dagger that was used 100000
years ago. A set of serrated tools
were used by prehistoric jewelers. to
saw ornaments out of shells. Two per-
feet flint bracelets illustrate the high
est art Of flint mapping.
A feature of the ext ibition is the
eSrEest known example of a painting
oII'tanvas, more than $500 years old,
found on the site of a temple at
Thebes. 1t is symbolic representa-
tion of the goddess Hathor, in the
form of COW, before whom seven
Egyptians are about to perform an act
of veneration. It's colors are brown,
red, green and blue. An inscription
translated reads: "Hatho, the Lady
of Heaven, In the midst OF Thebes,
alteration to the lord of two lands,

that she may grant life, prosperity and

TWO ARMIES, TWO STANDARDS

stokers and sailors IN mail steamers with lei from the navy.
Probably son OF the army officers and many of the lei in the
ranks Synpathizc with the demands OF the employees OF the state all
way lines and believe that they work too long hours and receive too
little pay. If politics in the Italian army had reached the enlightened
stage that 1t has in the British army. these officers would hand in
their commissions and set al example in INSTRUMENTATION to the troops
under their command If Tories wearing the British uniform have the
partisan right to proclaim to the government that they shall obey
orders o serve in Ulster, why may 10 Italian officers of advanced
views refuse their services in keeping the state railways in operation
in time OF crisis? If il. is the privilege OF one army to dictate to the
government OF its country i'll regard to home rule, why may not The
army OF another country dictate to the government the conditions Of
labor for the state railway employees:
Evidently Italy is a backward nation and has not yet reached that
happy state where the arny a be used for partisan purposes by the
opponents OF the government. Nor has it produced statesmen of the
measure of Sir Edward Carson and Mr.. Bonar Law to undermine the
discipline OF the army, OF every railroad in Italy would suspend ser

UNCLE SAM AS A RAILROAD BUILDER

In the bill for the construction Of a government railroad in AEaska
which is CIV a law, we encounter nee more. and for the last time
we hope, the proposition to usc any material or equipment no longer
needed at Panama for railway construction in Alaska.
The principal usefulness of this clause is to illustrate the difficulty
of getting ot OF con2res>mcn', minds the idea that the machinery
which has been used at Panama will be Of great advantage in build
ing the Alaska railroad. Notwithstanding Colonel Goethars explana-
ton recently given that that machinery has been for the most part
practically worn CIT by its long and sevcre service at Panama.
This is the first time in the history of the United States that the
government has itself embarked in the work OF railway construction.
1t is noteworthy tht there has been substantially o public Opposi-
ton and little pubic criticism Of the proposal for government rail
way construction in Alaska It has been generally recognized that
III der the peculiar conditions existing there. the only practical means
by which the Alaska coal deposits "a be opened and made available
