u. S. Annual Rainfall
Thirty Inches Deep

A vivid picture of the amount of rain
that falls upon the United States is
given by Washington scientist. II is
equivalent. he says, to ten Mississippi
rivers flowing constantly. Otherwise
measured, It equals 30 inches of water
for the entire area, making total vol
ume of $4,000 000.0 100000 cubic feet.
But this is only half the amount that
would be necessary to maintain the
full productivity OF the soil of the
whole country. One-third of this
amount runs down to the sea and riy
ers. The problem for engineers to
solve is the utilization to the utmost
OF the supply that nature furnishes.

Elrst Microscone Made in 1seo

Although the early history of the
microscope is obscure. the first micro
scope is generally believed to have
been made by Zachariah Jansen, a
Dutchman. in 1880. The invention Is
also attributed to Calico about 1910.
Microscopes with double glasses ap-
peared soon after the discovery of the
law Of the refraction of light. about
1924 but il was not until the invention
of the achromatlc lens, and Its apptca-
ton to the microscope by Lister and
others. that the instrument became of
positive value in the cause Of science.
The binocular microscope was in
vented by Professor Riddell in 1881.

Lincoln Was Not
So Mild and Meek
Great Liberator Could Bare
Teeth and Fight When
Necessary
BY PROF. q. J. ciGRAND, in Chicago
Evening American


There is tendency III recent writ
meek that his red-bloodedness and his
emphatic methods of rebuke are lost
and the real value Of the giant among
men is destroyed.
Several recent biographies and many
orations and magazine articles of late
years have given the impression that
Lincoln was not master Of his cabinet
II Is said he often laughed and told
stories when his serious opinion was
needed.
If any president endured intrigue at
the cabinet board Lincoln did Not
single other man who ever sat in the
presidential chair would have per-
mitted the bold, personal campaigning
of his personal associates.
But Lincoln seemed to let these men
go on gradually disclosing not only
to himself but the public their selfish
personal ambitions and then at the
right time and in an inimitable way he
would grab the official by the coat
collar and bring him back to the
straight and narrow path of Lincoln
ideas.
Lincoln's manner of dealing with
men was entirely different from that
of any other president
He even ran after" General Me-
Clellan and permitted offensive corre-
spondence and no end of "slights' to
come to light. But Lincoln, like an
indulgent father, could, when the

Seward, who had for years toiled to
subordinate Lincoln, finally wrote to
his wife: Executive skill and yigor
are rare qualities. The President ia
the best Of us"
On July 80. 1863, Lincoln issued a
public letter, designed especially for
the soldiers and sympathizers Of the
COnfederacy:
1T is the duty of every govern
ment to give protection to its citi-
zens and especially those who are
organized as soldiers in the public
service. 1t is, therefore, ordered
that for every soldier of the United
States killed in violation of the
laws of war, rebel soldier shall
be executed; and for every one en-
shaved or sold into slavery, a rebel
soldier shall be placed at hard
labor on the public works"
Promised Glory for All Officials.
/ look upon this order as the least
representative sentence in Lincoln's
entire life story and doubtless it was
inspired by the usages of war and came
as cabinet measure
Another message to his cabinet
shows how he guided them and CON
stantly reminded them of broad patri-
otism. 1t reads:

influence and sagacity of all of us

brothers to save the republic. If
we succeed there will be glory
