eTsESS + WAS Christmas eve, and
Caleb Churton, the money
1g lender, sat in his great din
ing room, surrounded by all that
makes for luxurious living.
$50 Jack preferred his artists work
to this" he mused, chuckling con-
temptuously while he half spoke the
words.
Ten years before, his elder brother
had told their father that he was not
cut out for a Shylock, that he pre-.
ferred to get a living by pleasanter
means than his fellow beings flesh
and blood, and had gone out into the
world cursed by the father and
laughed at by his brother.
1t was three years later-and IL
months after he had announced his
marriage to a fellow artists daughter
that old Churton died, leaving all
the business to Caleb, and not men,
tioning Jack Churton by so much as
a single word in his will
To do him justice, Caleb had re-
belled against this as much as he
could, but he had found out that his
brother was able to keep his head
above water, and, after offering him
a share-only to be Indignantly re
fused-Caleb applied himself to the
task of aicubling his'father's wealth.
Al Il things went through his
brain as sat by his fire. OF sud-
den a thought struck him.

HE, MANIPULATION OF
 GREAT DISTANCES

A Boston department store has a wireless telegraphic outfit. The other day the operator in charge was sitting at his key when a message began to break. Picking it up, he found to his surprise that he he was in commun- ication with the steamship Mongolia, at that time 200 miles east of Nagas aki, Japan.
 The distance between Iae spot in the western seas where the Mongolia then was and the department store in BOs- ton is 10000 miles. The department store operator and the man manip- ulating the key on the Mongolia main tained a conversation for several min utes. They could have talked tr one an other for hours had they so desired.
 These two men were holding an in- telligible converse across much more than a third of the earth's circumferen- ce. The questions and answers were as quickly consecutive as the questions and answers of two persons face to face To put it in the briefest form, distance between the two takers was abolished.
 Now, if it is proven easily possibly to project intelligible talk instantaneously through ten thousand miles of space, it seems to be a reasonable supposi- tion that science, in the decades to come, will be able to project the same intelligible talk through millions of miles of space, and so put our decen- dants in touch with the inhabitants of worlds so distant that they now appear to us as but mere points of lighe in the immeasurable abysses of ether.

IRRIGATION RESTORES
 THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Lying between the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers is today desert where once was fertility so abundant that it passed into a proverb Meso- potamia, the land was called, and here, Between the Rivers," as the name may be translated was the traditional location of the Garden of Eden, the original home of the human race.
 Huge irrigation works, of which the great Nahrwan Canal, and it's counter part, the Dijail are still traceable, brought the waters of the Tigris to the fields of grain; two thousand years ago.. But these and other great works Derished and were swallowed up in the shifting sands long centuries since
 Recently, says the May Popular Me chanics magazine, in an illustrated ar ticle, under the direction of an emi- nent Eiglish engineer, the Turkish government has built dam, or bar rage, across the Euphrates, 14 miles above Babylon, as the first step in a vast scheme of irrigation to redeem half a million acres, transforming the desert into a garden spot.

Let Those Persons Who Quarrel Do the Fighting
F WE COULD SEE
 JUST ONE BATTLEFIELD

Soldiers in gay clothes, marching off to war to the music of the brass bands, young men light-hearted and eager for adventure, never say war is he'll" The older men, returned from battlefields, know war is hell.
 Those are wonderful pictures by the famous Russian Verastcbagin. They have been exhibited in the United States and in other countries, Verastchagin tried to teach people what war really is. His pictures show battlefieIds. They show vul- lures eating the dead bodies of the common soldiers. They show wound ed men, mutilated men in agony. They show priests-on both sides praying for victory.
 But they show, also, the generals. On the top of a safe and distant hi with spy glasses in hand, the generals are safe.
 The brass bands play ''The Girl l Lett Behind Me-. But. there IS an old song that might we'll take its place. It is the song the French girl Jeanette sings to her soldier lover Jeannot, as he leaves for the war. Its last lines are:
 -Oh! If I were Queen of France, Or, still better, Pope of Rome, would have no fighting men abroad No weeping maids at home;
 All the world should be at peace, Or, if kings must show their might, Why, let those who make the Quarrels Be the only men to fight;
 Yes, let those who make the quarreIs Be the only ones to fight

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner)
 (By J. B. Jones)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2S.- When the beautiful daughter of Sec retary McAdoo of the Treasury, quit munching chocolates in the Senate gallery, the night the Mexican resolu- tion was passed, and pulled her dad dy's coat tail so that he would turn around, a good many people smiled pleasantly at the incident. When Bryan left the Senate because Senator Fall was flaying him, most people were wondering how the Secretary relished hearing such things in place where he could not talk back These are mere incidents in the lives of American royalty" But the off cial family is found to be very kind, and the wife of the President makes war on the slums of the Capital while the daughter sings for the blind; and and the wife of the vice president cancels social engagements in order that she may stay at home to nurse a sick maid. It has also been noted that the Secretary of State celebrated his last birthday surrounded by the men in his department, and their wives. And then the Secretary of the Navy has let it be known that he is for ''the under dog," and insists on closer relationship between the higher off cials and the men who wear the navy uniform. Meanwhile the Secretary of the Interior establishes a Home Club for his employees and the Post master General lays off horses and puts on motor trucks. Surely the milk of human kindness is overflowing the pail.
