Lock Canals.

The Egyptians had canals before the
days Of st. Paul, but the lock canal
which made 1t possible to cross noun
tains In boat came only few years
before Columbus discovered America.
To be told that Raphael In his spare
moments when not painting Raphael
was constructing a locomotive would
scarcely surprise you more than to be
told that Leonardo da Vinci was a
pioneer canal lock builder.
But the hand that put upon the walls
OF that historic church in Milan THE
Last Supper" also designed the locks
for Milan's canal
That was just five years before an
other Italian from the nearby town Of
Genoa sailing Spanish ship came to
anchor at San Salvador. Before the
lock system was born canals had to be
on level ground, although In China
they Ind them on slight inclines.-

One Of the most rarely witnessed OF
natural phenomena, but one that has
often been discussed at scientific meet
ings and that always awakens wonder
when seen, is the so called green
fash" occasionally visible at the mo-
ment Of the disappearance OF the sun
behind a clear horizon. The observers
eye must be fixed upon the rim OF the
sun as It disappears In order to catch
the phenomenon. One authority tells
us that he has seen the green fash.
although rarely. at the instant Of the
setting Of bright star. Among the
explanations offered IL one based upon
the optical principle Of complementary
colors. II one looks at the sun and
then closes the eyes u green disk will
be perceived. A sensitive eye might
be similarly affected by brilliant
star.

In some ways which might nowadayi
be called Sentimental" the laws of an
Gent Wales were In advance Of thos,
OF today. J. II. Lloyd In his His
tory Of Wales" mentions that In some
Of the codes (Which were, Us rule
very severe on theft u remarkable
provision exempted from punishment
the starving man who, after begging
for three days and receiving nothing
helped himself to the food which he
needed In order to keep him alive.
That every man had the right to live
was principle Of the law, and the
sentiment Of the country demanded
that every person Of substance should
keep open house not only for ordinary
travellers, but also for the destitute and
the friendless."

 Ispahan is one of the important cities of Persia, with a population of some S0,000. It is 218 miles south east of Teheran.
 The foregoing despatch indicates a Russian movement further to tho south than has been reported hither- to- Russian forces after the capture of Hamadan advanced southwest to- wards Kermanshah, in the direction Of the Turkish frontier. The army now reported at Ispahan evidently is striking southWard from the main Russian forces, in the direction of the Persian Gulf.

PRESIDENT MAY CALL RESERV|STS 10 ARMS
Important Amendment to Hay Army Bill Is Made Today

Washington, March 21--LThe first action of the house today in taking up for further consideration the Hay army reorganization bill was to adopt without debate an amendment to give the president absolute control over the reserve of 60,0O0 men.
 The bill originally provided that au- thority must be granted by congress before the reservists could be mo- bilized. An amendment offered by Rep. Kahn of the committee, and ac- cepted (bv Chairman Hay, puts re- servists under the orders of the sec retarv of war to be sent to any point when the call to the cOlOrS goes out.
 The amendment is the most import ant addition to tht- pill yet made As the measure now stands the president would have authority with out consult ing congress to increase the army from 10000 fighting troops to $175, 900 and also to summon to the cOlOrS the CO., 900 reservists which the bill contem- plates will be provided within four years.
 The house rejected proposal by Rep. Anthony, republican, of Kansas to recruit an additional infantry regi- ment in Porto Rico for service in the Panama Canal zone or elsewhere
 MT. Kahn then proposed as an amendment a provision in the senate bill that while the enlistment period should remain fixed three years with the colors and fours years Iii reserve, commanding officers might discharge peculiarly efficient men into the 1e- serve after one year of training and that any well trained man could go into the reserve on his own arplica. tion at the end of two years active service.
 The amendment was defeated 113 to 10S. The question will come up again in the conference committee as the senate bill is almost certain to retain it's provision.
 Encouraged by the narrow margin which defeated the Kahn amendm e1,t, Rep. Gardner re-offered the first proposition of that amendment in new language. It was carried 12S to IF. being the first defeat for Chair man Hay during consideration of the bill.
