Plans Of Reclamation.
The governments policy of public
works Is a sound one in that the
money spent constitutes an invest
ment which in future years will more
than pay for itself. Instead of pro-
viding busy work" the ministry is
carrying out far-sighted scheme for
the transformation of malarial marsh
lands into fertile territory. Since
1850 the government has obtained
more than 339,OOO,OOO lire In plus
value from its reclaimed lands. For
this work the government spent ST.
7S3,31O lire for reclaiming 394O27
acres. and private cOnsortiums spent
an equal amount, but recovered 1884,
OPT acres. This year the government
has appropriated 100000 lire for
reclamation of land in eight provinces
and work began in March.
Other projects of the government
are equally constructive. Roads and
railways are being built in Sicily and
Calabria. and in the latter province

The incantation, on the contrary, he

Rome.--1n spite of the low state of
national finance Italy Is attempting to
carry out broad program for the
relief of war veterans and the unem-
ployed by means of lane reclamation
and other public works.
Italy deals with its problem of war
veterans through the Opera Nazionale
del Combattenti, organized in Decem-
Der, 1917, with an initial capital of
3OO,O0O.0OO lire, of which the govern
ment contributed 250,000OOO. The
opera has a social section for voca-
tional training and placing, financial
section for providing credit to indi-
vidual soldiers or cooperate re groups,
and an agricultural section, which
concentrates on land reclamation.
Relief for Unemployed.
The general unemployment problem
continues to be taken seriously by the
government, although there is no fear
now of revolutionary outbreaks as the
result of the lack of work. In the last
few weeks the number of unemployed
has decreased slightly, but there are
still more than half a million men out
OF work. Arrangements are almost
completed for starting the public
works authorized last August for the
relief of the situation, but at the
moment the apportioning Of funds and
the Increase of the amount OF work to
be undertaken Is occupying the cham
Der of deputies. The public works
appropriation Is the parliamentary
pork barrel ct the country.
SignOr Riccl0, minister of public
works, Is attempting to hold the bal
ance between the deputies competing
for appointments and to protect the
national budget from being swamped
with more projects than 1t can stand.
He stated in the chamber the other
day that In the first three months of
this year there has already been paid
out for labor on public works 1900.
100000 lire, as against 25S,O0OOO in
the whole year of 1914. He added
that although the minister of finance
had authorized the expenditure of
3,OOO0OO,O00 more for public labor
this year, he did not see where the
money was coming from.
The grave depression in the metal
lurgical districts of Milan and Turin
is threatening to throw more men on
the streets, and as usual the condi.
ton of unemployment in the province
of Emilia is widespread.
The situation in Emilia is typical of
the sort of problem Italian state off.
Gals have to face. For the last 20
years the province has been greatly
overpopulated hut the surplus citi-
zens have refused to emigate There

SUN DUST IS A "RADIO NET"
London Professor Evolves Novel The
DRY of the Atmospheric
Envelope.

Electrified dust thrown off by the
stin forms an atmospheric envelope
about the earth about 100 miles which
prevents wireless waves from escaping
into infinite space, according to Prof.
j. A. Fleming, University college, Lon
don, whose work In wireless Is known
al, over the world.
The screen made by the dust, he
says. acts as a sort of wireless speak
ing tube and enables waves used for
long distance work-which are about
ten miles In lengtli-to travel 6000 and
12,000 miles.
II it were not for that screen, nc.
cording to the professors theory. the
wireless energy thrown out by the
big sending towers would not cling
To the earth, but would pass away

SURGERY is AN ANCIENT SCIENCE

The manuscript also contains "The
incarnation of Expelling the Wind Of
the Year of Pest" This shows the
widely prevalent notion which has
persisted to the present day that the
winds carry malignant plaques. The
last two parts of the papyrus are
written in very different handwrit-
ing from the front page.
The columns in front treat of the
head, the mouth, the neck and the
spine. here the papyrus stops, but it is
evident that the remainder treated the
lower body.
The first group of ten cases de-
scribed treat of wounds of the head. of
which seven are knife and sword
wounds. The surgeon Is instructed
how to probe the wound and in case
of severe knife wound told, you
should have made for him wooden
brace padded with linen (and have)
the head fastened to 1t. His treat.
ment should be sitting. placed between
two supports Of brick. until you know
whether he is making any progress.

skull under the skin" The surgeon Is
