FINALLY
 DEVELOPS TITANIC
 IRRIGATION SCHEME
River Murray is Diverted Through Elaborate Sys-
 tenn of Locks and Weirs.

Adelaide, South Australia, July 22- What is hailed as inaugurating a, new and important era, in the industrial development of the Australian Com monweaIth was the laying at Blanchetown on the river Murray, June 5, of the foundation stone Of the first lock of great system of locks and 'weirs, which will harness this great waterway to the better use of the Australian people. The sys- tenn, together with the water stor- ages at Lake Victoria, and CunDberoo- ma, will provide for irrigation on a huge scale as well as the use of the Murray waterway for trade and com merce.
 What the Nile is to Egypt, and the Mississippi is to the United States, the Murray is to Australia. The Murray river system is one of the longest naviga:ble in the world, at times for more than 5000 miles.
 For something like half a century the control of it's waters has been a veXed question in the politics of the three states most vitaI1y concerned New South Wales, Victoria and South 'Australia-and because success i've governments have been unable to agree upon a basis of settlement of riparian rights, the potential wealth of the river has been allowed to pour itself unchecked into the sea-a gi- gantic waste in a continent where the chief desid eratun is water. The ceremonies at B1anchetown therefore sfgnalized an historic event. When carried to completion, the project will open up about 1,50O, 900 acres for cultivation and. it is estiniated will bring in an additional population of from 500,0O0 to 750,O 900 persons.
 The cost will be about $21, ,oOO. Some idea, of the extent of the sch eme may be gathered from the fact that in South Australia, the Lake Victoria. reservoir can be made to store 22,- 900, ,0OO,00 cubic feet of water.

Dumped in Siberia.

Vladivostok, July 22-When war broke out between Russia and Ger maIly-AusSrfa, the German and Aus trian civil population at V1adivostok had twenty-four hours to leave. Many Germans. mostly comfortable mer- chants and bankers, did not go. They thought the regulation would not be strictly lived up to. They were mis- taken At the expiration of the day, they were taken into custody and sent off to remote parts of Siberia under guard. There, in inaccessible cities, in some cases hundreds of miles from railroads, they were set free.
 Most of them brought funds with them, but as the Russian govern ment provides neither lodging nor food for the detained civilians, the funds, soon became exhausted. When they tried to draw more credit from their accounts at V1adivostok, they found that Russia had issued orders for the ,imn mobilization of all accounts of civilians of the enemy countries.

Heredity and Eugenics.

The new science Of eugenics has as

which bear an important relation to
practical problems of everyday life.
The interest in the subject of eugenics
has served to recall the older dis
cussions OF the relative parts played
by heredity and environment in the
modification of the race. The ques-
ton Of nature versus nurture has been
raised anew. :
