Lake Geneva Water.

For 20 years French engineers have
had in mind plans for bringing to
Paris the inexhaustible water of the
lake OF Geneva, called Also Lake Lee
man, on the frontier of France and
Switzerland. This project, which made
considerable noise before the war, has
since been rarely mentioned, and the
reason therefor is said 10 be due TO
the discovery that the blue waters OF
The lake, so beautiful to look upon.
are infested by worms which the
Parisians. now that they have been
instructed, will not willingly tolerate.
If these worms can be successfully dis
posed of the greatest water-carrying
scheme that Europe has ever known
will follow. With this aqueduct OF
many leagues on the east and the tun-
mel under the straits OF Dover on the
west, also in contemplation, il appears
that French enterprise is not wholly
occupied by the war.

BROUGHT ABOUT DOWNFALL OF
MAORI PROPHET"
Slave Who Had Made His Way TO
Throne, and Who Claimed Divine
Power, Now a Prisoner in
New Zealand Jail.

Rua. Maori prophet" polygamist
and moonshiner. sometimes called the
Maori emperor"-although unjustifi-
ably, ii appears-has been convicted
by jury at Auckland, New Zealand,
upon certain counts. after a trial OF
extraordinary length. Rua, his pre-
tensions TO divine powers, his temple
and stronghold in the wild and almost
inaccessible "King country" in north
ern New Zealand. his fight with po-
licemen several months ago. In which
several men were killed or wounded;
his previous defiance OF authority
all this constitutes one Of the most
| interesting chapters in the history OF
| New Zealand.
Rua first attracted attention about
ten years ago. He set himself up as
q sort of Messiah in the Urewera dis
trict, which is near the Bay OF
Plenty, on the north island OF the do
minion. This region. sometimes called
the "King country" from old Maori
usage. is sort of government reserva-
ton. 1t is inhabited by the most prim-
tive of the aboriginals of New Zea-
land.
Rua was slave born, but he broke
Maori tradition by assuming the pre-
negatives of a chief, and in addition
he mixed with native superstition a
smattering of Christian belief. He
was glib and cunning. and before long
he had strong hold upon the minds
of the untutored members of his race.
At Maungapohatu, a native hamlet
in the center of the "King country"
he posed as a savior. and he was at
tended by a bodyguard. Here. al
though by birth a slave, and. there
fore, entitled TO but one wife. he took
unto himself spOuses vari0usly esti-
mated at from nine TO fourteen, and
he had built circular temple of con-
siderable ingenuity of design and con-
struction, for the Maoris are good ar
chltectS. In cupoa OF this structure
he professed TO communicate with the
Almighty. and below him customarily
sat n dozen Maoris, called after the
twelve apostles.
1t was "sly grog" selling or noon
shining which got the prophet" into
trouble. To make liquor on ones
premises without permission and then
sell Ii TO natives is against the law,
, and when Rua was convicted of hav-
ing done this he had TO serve n jail
sentence. Several indictments upon
the same score were hanging over his
, head when he was released and re-
, turned to Maungapohatu, but upon
, his being summoned TO answer to
them he defied the authorities.
Finally n strong force OF police was
sent to Maungapohatu. Rua and his
henchmen put up a desperate fight
Two Maorls were killed, and mum
Der were wounded in the rifle fire. and
four policemen were wounded. Rua
0 after a resistance with teeth, fists and
feet, was captured.
: Rua's trial occupied AZ days. Hs
: was convicted Of resisting the police
e but was acquitted of having used Sc
Il dtiOus language. On two other counts
g the jury disagreed.

Swiss a Musical People.

Music has always played an impor-
tant part in the life OF the Swiss peo-
pie. The invention and development
OF the bellows. its combination with
the electric motor, the application OF
electric releasing apparatus. from
which there was but one step 70 the
keyboard worked by electricity-all
these brought organ-building in Swift
zerland to high degree OF per-
lection, thus carrying its repute
into foreign countries. Swiss organ
builders became world renowned. Since
1864 the oldest two Swiss firms en-
gagged in making these instruments
have finished almost 1000 organs with
single. hydraulic. and bellows working.
