Final Harnessino of Nile.

Work has been commenced on an
other great scheme to reclaim by ir-
rigation vast tracts of desert in the
Soudan. Il is believed it can be made
to add enormously to the cotton out
put of the British Empire. The tract
which is to he watered is known as
the Gizra territory: 1t lies between
the Blue and White Niles, below
hhartoum. and consists of 1,500.O0O
acres. The force and flow of the two
rivers is sufficient to water the entire
district when properly harnessed
The proposal is to build two dams
south of Khartoum one over each
OF the rivers. Thus the tract between
the streams will be irrigated. while at
the same time the force of the water
flowing into Egypt will be controlled
At present the Blue Nile comes down
In raging flow, and the White Nile,
flowing in steadier fashion, combines
with 1t TO make huge overflow. The
building of the two dams will enable
the flow to be properly regulated and
will practically mean the final har-
Messing of the Nile.

Villa In the "Movies."

Motion pictures of General Villa and
the constitutionalist army in Mexico.
taken at the front and under fire, are
being shown. The films are martial
enough to satisfy the keenest taste,
and that Villa, usually accepted in the
United States as bandit, Is made to
look pious hero, detracted little from
their thrilling quality.
THE Battle of Torreon and the Life
Of General Villa" is the title of the
films The first reels are given up to
various views of the fighting which
preceded the constitutionalist victory
in the north. One gasps at the temer-
ity OF the camera men who made the
pictures, for there are actual scenes
on the firing line. and bullets and
shells are getting in their deadly
work
In the second part of the entertain
ment what purports to be the true his
tory of Villas life is given. A pious
orphan, with two sisters dependent
upon him. he is the victim OF the fed
erals, and swears revenge. His rise
to power is shown step by step. until.
at the head of the rebel army, he wins
victories over his foes and completes
his vengeance.
The acting in this latter part is
done, not by the general himself, but
by an actor made up to look like
him. Some of the scenes are over
drawn, but the setting always is good.

It was Miss Frevert's custom to de-
vote the last few minutes of the lesson
period to an informal discussion OF
anything that the girls themselves
might suggest One Sunday Elizabeth
French had a perfectly new idea.
Let's have composite photograph,
girls" she said, according to the
Youths Companion. When l visited
my cousin l went with her and few
other girls, and we had one taken. It's
very interesting"
The girls agreed at once, and next
week they sat for their pictures. When
the composite photograph was made,
Miss Frevert took it to the class with
her. The girls exclaimed with delight
and surprise when she showed it to
them. Then, as they studied it, a
curious silence fell upon them.
Why" said Elizabeth, slowly, "it's
more beautiful, more spiritual, than
any of us!"
''It looks like some pictures of
Mary, the mother of Jesus!" cried Bet
ty Ripley. Then she flushed. Il don't
mean to be irreverent," she stam-
mered.
Miss Frevert placed a reassuring
hand over Bettys. you were not"
she said. Il am glad you have discov-
cred for yourselves the fact that this
composite picture is more ideal than
any single face that has gone into the
making of it. To me there is some
thing very significant in that. You
know that it is through agreements
alone that you can make a composite
picture. Every feature that does not
agree with other features leaves so
slight an impression on the plate that
it cannot be seen. But every feature
that is common to many faces will be
clear and positive. Do you see what
that means?"
There was moments silence, and
then Louise Barton said: 'It means
that there is something fine In each
one of US, no matter how mean and
selfish we are"
Wouldn't it be awful" unused Betty
Ripley, ito think that there wasn't
single one of yodr features in that
photograph"
But wouldn't 1t be fine," said Miss
Frevert. ito combine in your face all
the finest lines, and in your character
all the finest traits that are to be
found in humanity?"
But nobody could do that" ex-
claimed several.
Il once heard very eminent man
speak of Frances Willard as the com
posite photograph of her country
men," said Miss Frevert. "That was
the secret of her matchless power, he
said"
Just suppose" said Betty Ripley,
that every one in the United States
could be got into one composite pic
ture. Which one of us would it be
most like, | wonder?"
mo one can tell that, Betty" said
Louise, laughing. But if we should
have another one taken in a year or
two, wonder whether or not it would
be more nearly ideal? 1t ought to be-"

NEED NOT BE MoNoToNoUS
One Bridegroom at the Altar Has
Shown That Costume May BE
Somewhat Appropriate.

1t is hard to escape the conven-
tional black. Whsn a man is going
to be married there seems to be little
else for him to wear. The BRIDE
groom drops automatically to the old
dead level. There are uniforms in
deed, but they are seldom put on for
a wedding. A soldier or sailor may
fall back on this resource; but such
favored types as policemen, airmen,
chauffeurs, fremen and bellhops are
but too inclined to demonstrate,
when the hour is at hand, how much
alike men are-or want to be. Who,
they seem to ask, wants to look at
the "happy man." anyhow
But a brave and resourceful young
man in Maine has changed all this.
Sockalexis, the Indian runner, has
STOOD up" in beaded buckskin and
eagle feathers. His course seems
natural, suitable, Justifiable on all
grounds, almost inevitable.
He has shown that bridegrooms
are not patterned so monotonously as
we suppose and are not necessarily
doomed to eclipse. Perhaps other
intending husbands may now dis
cover legitimate ways to differentiate
themselves by introducing suitable
variations on dull and tiresome
theme, leaving the conventional and
characteristic black to be worn only
as a last resort.-Bangor News.

WINDS WONDERFUL VELOCITY
During Phenomenal Atmospheric Dis
turbanees Il 10 impossible to
Estimate II.

Does anybody know how fast the
wind can blowY 1t is an easy prom
lem, under ordinary conditions. and
the weather bureau in Washington
gives out daily readings of wind We
locity, the reliability Of which is uni
versally accepted.
But, in those occasional instances
when hurricane is raging, the deli
cate instruments which science has
devised to measure wind velocities
are swept away, just as they begin
to record really interesting figures.
In November of last year, just as
an thermometer in Jamaica marked
100 miles an hour, it was carried of
by the gale. The greatest velocity
measured in this country was on
January IL at Mount Washington,
where the wind was blowing at the
rae Of 1876 miles an hour. But wind
has blown pine boards through tele-
graph poles or caused them to pierce
trees to the depth Of several inches,
thus indicating a velocity of at least
600 miles an hour, according to SCI
entific calculations.
AS it is admitted that there are
now no instruments capable of re-
cording such high speed, it is quite
evident that we do not know how fast
the wind blows, and will not pos
sess this knowledge until an ane-
mometer is constructed that will not
be carried away in any velocity.
