JEWELS IN FAR NORTH
RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS SECUR-
ED TON AND HALF OF THE
PRECIOUS STONES.

In the Hermitage museum, III Retro
grad. is ton and a half OF precious
stones, some of them so rare that they
have not yet been classified by min
era1ogists. Rubies, aquamarines, white,
rose and green diamonds, in such pro-
fusion as to overshadow iii sheer beau
ty if not in historic value even the
Romanoff crown jewels, were found
beneath swamps and under snow hills
62 miles from the frozen ocean by an
expedition OF scholars which penetrat-
ed into unexplored Russian Lapland.
The beautiful gems will go for sale
abroad, and the sums they bring Will
be added to the exchange fund Tor
foreign money and gold which is de-
signed to keep the ruble stable, Prof.
Fertsman says. The soviet has been
issuing limited amount of gold GER
tifcates which are backed by actual
gold in the vaults, estimated to be
worth $400000,O0
The Russian scholars, led by Prof.
Fertsnan, followed the Murmansk
trail with dog sleds and encountered
heavy storms They saw no signs OF
even the crudest civilization. In what
is known as Russian Poland exist saw
ages who exc out bare living by fish
ing and who are scared into flight by
a stranger. Beneath the miserable mud
huts inhabited by the natives the eX-
plorers found an almost ineXhaustible
supply Of the rarest jewels.

DEAF CAN SPEAK BY
FEELING SOUND SYSTEM
New Method Is Devised for Them.
Vibrations Are Now Employed

JACKSONVILLE, Ill.-Voices for
those born to silence are being devel~
oped through a new system, including
the use OF a piano and a bass drum,
at the Illinois state school for the deaf
here, according to Col. 0. c. Smith,
managing officer. Col. Smith, who in
PRODUCED the system, said that pupils
who never heard any sounds, even
those OF their own voices, are taught
to speak by feeling sound, and that
the school is graduating pupils who
can speak as we'll as persons who can
hear
by getting impressions OF sound
vibrations to the brain through the
sense Of touch" Col Smith explained,
and establishing the association be
tween feeling and the tone and its
production. variety and tone color can
be perceived, with the vowel sounds
which are the music of speech, while
the consonants are the noises.
First exercises which awaken the
sense of tone in the deaf, as explained
by Col Smith, are performed by hav-
ing the pupil stand by the piano or
drum and place his finger tips lightly
upon the instrument. Then high and
low chords are struck for the purpose
of raising and lowering the voice. This
gives pitch.
The pupil receives the idea OF
rhythm by vibrations felt through the
piano case, the drum and also through
the floor. The idea Of accent comes
by heavier or lighter vibrations, the
regular beat in musical measure COM
pared to the accented beat forming
basis for accent in words.
From these primary beginnings the
pupils are advanced to where infec
ton, phrasing and continuity are per
ceived They learn rhythm for skips,
runs. marches, simple dances and
songs, and advanced pupils can read
poetry aloud with smooth, rhythmical
accent.

IRRIGATION PROJECT
WILL COST $2,OOO,O0O
WATER TO BE BROUGHT TO
100000 ACRES. NEW KIND
OF IRRIGATION IN WEST.

KEARNEY, Neb.-A new kind OF
irrigation is to be tried out by farm
ers in central Nebraska and 100000
bushels of wheat annually is expected
to be added to the states grain crop
as result. Approx mate1y 100000
acres Of land are in the project The
proposition has already been approved
by the national government.
Out in Phelps, GOsper, kearney and
Adams counties, in the middle western
portion OF the state there IS big area
of about 100000 acres which has al
most, but not quite, enough rainfall to
assure crops This ground already pro-
duces several million bushels OF wheat
every year. The district IS entirely
within the rain belt but is close to
the western edge Of the belt.
Through that section runs the Platte
river with its great flow OF water. Be-
cause of the heavy drain on the Platte
during the spring and summer, when
the stream is used as the source OF
numerous large and small irrigation
projects. there is not much water be-
tween its banks, but in the fall and
winter, after the growing season is
over. the Platte runs banks full
through these counties.
The plan is to take some OF the
water from the Platte during its full
seasons and simply food the 100000
acres with it. The water will be per-
mitted to saturate the subsoil thor
oughly. 1t will reach down in the
ground to a depth of four or five feet.
And when winter comes and the
ground freezes there will be as much
water stored in the soil as can posi-
bly, be stored there.
When the growing season opens in
the spring there will be no water avail
able from the Platte for this section,
but there will be none needed, Start
ing with the ground thoroughly satur-
ated and the subsoil full OF water the
annual rainfall will be sufficient to
bring the crops to maturity without
further assistance.
The cost of the project is estimated
at around $2,000,000 with very little
spent annually for upkeep. The re-
turns are expected to approximate TO-
100000 bushels OF wheat annually. At
this years prices the return for one
wear would pay the entire cost of the
project five times.
Under this new system there will be
no great reservoirs, and artificial bod
les OF water. There will be no money
spent for dams nor anything OF that
kind. Practically the entire expense Of
the project is that Of constructing the
bitches The state records show that
great quantities of water in the Platte
river go to waste every year during
this season and that this waste water
is increasing in amount yearly, due to
seepage from the irrigation projects in
the upper valley This water, if stored
in the subsoil under the projected sys-
tenn will assist in preventing flood
damage further down stream.

INTERESTING Hist0r, Of Upper River
H0Steiery

one Of the interesting structures be-
tween Skowhegan and the Canadian
Border is the Forks Hotel of which
Fred l.. Marshall Is proprietor at the
Forks Plantation. ". \. Sheppard
from Bar Mills was guest at the
hotel in August and stated that the
house was built by Jock Spaulding
Mr.. Sheppard is a man 80 years old
and he stated that the hotel was built
when his mother was a little girl. He
was born in the Harris house, next
door to the hotel property and has
been gone from the town forty years
The place has always been known
as the Spaulding place, or at least
so designated for many years and Jock
or Jonathan Spaulding seems TO have
been the first of the family 10 be re-
membered by any of the older inhabi-
tants Joseph Durgin Of The Forks
tells OF the plentifulness of game in
old times in that section. stating that
he has often heard benjamin Goodrich,
who was one of the first settlers OF
the plantation along with Jock Spauld-
ing and a certain Major Baker say
that when he. Goodrich, first came
into the section salmon would run up
the kennebec and Dead rivers and up

and fins of the fish were all ont of

water, and at that time one could go
up to this stream and kill bears at any
time. The bears, il seems were feed
ing on the fish. 1t is probable that
Salon stream derived its name from
having been an habitation of such 2
number of the salmon branch Of the
fish family.
Succeeding Jock Spauldng came a
half brother, named Smith Spauldng
and he, it appears, lived on the present
hotel property a great many years,
maintaining there "A boarding house or
tavern AT that time the place was
more or less of rendezvous for lum-
bermen and many wagons We're made
up there to go to camp. In those days
il seems that tote teams would load
up first with little hay for the
horses, n bag OF beans, barrel Of
pork, q barrel Of molasses and bar
ell of rum for the men. These were
supposed to be at the time the most
necessary articles to start camp with
After Smith Spaulding came one

office at the Forks for two or three
years, then sold his interest to Mr.

passed to Worth Young, then to Rich
