i English critic with something akin to awe. its vast bulk,
Se@e 'he enuormous figures which repiesent its reai or fictition
circulation; its wide grasp of material, from liierary novel
m ties like “The Wandering Jew,” 10 the range at which Maste:
Archie Roosevelt shot a rabbit; its determination to provide
entertainment for every grade of intelligence and genility; Its advertisements
ite iltustrations, and the generous breadth with which it defines that pleasant
word “society,” are all equally bewildering te an alien, He pauses 1o speculate
upon the “gifted prophetess,’ who for twenty-five cents “and upwards” pro
vides “gyvpsy sympathy,” fortune t¢<lling, palmistry andspirit communications,”
He is pleased and surprised to see that the seven royal children of an unpro
nounceable German principality are as dear to our hearts, and our press, as
the lady who sings “Seven Lumps of Sugar, Sweetie,” in advanced vaudeville,
and whose portrait flanks that of the Germanic nurslings. He asks on what
principle of selection this mass of heterogencous rubbish is collected and dis
tributed weekly,
Above all, the colored comic supplement of the Sunday newspaper Is a
stumbling-block to the critie’s path. For whom, he wonders, snd for whom,
we wonder, too, ean these pictures be intended? Do grown-up people trace
the disastrous congequences of Sammy's Sneeze, or follow Falthful Fritz
through his ever-repeated ducking and tumblings? Has American humor re
verted to the simple anvestral type which regarded an accident of any kind as
mirthful? Are the supplements designed for the exclusive refresnment of the
feeble-minded, or as a blight upon the intelligence of youth? Or can it be pos
sible that we are all, without knowing it, at the “Slovenly Peter” stage of men
tal development? These are questions which the Nineteenth Century lacks
the spirit and intelligence to answer. It merely ohserves that “a family which
has saturated ftself with the Sunday newspaper is in no mood for church-go
ing, nor for any serious occupation”—a statement too obvious for regard. A
family “saturated” with the Sunday newspaper would probably be tottering on
the verge of idiocy, but the American mind is not of a porous quality, It was

Y Six Hundred Millions %
é‘ Worth of Floods Yearlyg
R By Walter J. Ballard. .
:'H-H'%M(u:‘ T"s estimated by the United State geological survey that
: % floods cost the American people $100,000,000 a year inloss of
property, while the mere menace of these floods prevents the
; I x development of thousands of square miles of otherwise val
:’l' uable property and limits the usefulness of a rfar greater
Mo}-o}-}--fi-fli area. Great as is the annual destruction of property, great
mz:&g* er ‘s't'ilg .!fs '.‘!?(' loss by l‘h‘e waslewnf t:lm '\\{u?cr ltself, A'(v-()n:
B % servative estimate places the water loss at five times the
value of the property loss. If the flood water of the United
States could be stored for future use it would be worth $500,000,000 a year to
us. Therefore, it is safe to say that, directly and indirectly, floods cost the
American people a total of $G00,000,000 a year,
To prevent or minimize this great loss the engineers of the water resoure
es branch of the geological survey have been for a number of years making
systematic studies of flood conditionsonmany streasms th.roughout thecountry,
and several*of their reports have been published. Attention is now drawn-to
Water Supply Papers Nos, 88, 92, 96147 and 162. Renewed impetus was giv
en to the work by the great flood in the Ohio river basin in March, 1907, which
was one of the two greatest in a hundred years, the other having occurred in
1884,
The ideal remedy for flonds, according to the engineers of the survey, is
the keeping of the earth’s surface in a porous condition, so that the water will
be absorbed and held as by a sponge, and allowed to pass slowly into the
streams, Vegetation is the great agent that produces porosity of soil, and the
must effective form of vegetation for the retardation of surface flow is forest
cover. Forestation, therefore, is the prime requisite for the prevention of the
needless waste caused by floods,
The next requisite is the construction of reservoirs to hold the waters so
that they may be made useful during seasons of low water. Nearly all Amer
ican rivers can be readily controlled by the construction of storage reservoirs
on the headwater streams. The cost of such work, though heavy, would be as
nothing compared with the enormous benefits to water power and irrvigation,
as well as to flood prevention and navigation,

Years ago, when Mr. Purdy heard
that the Crawfords, from his old
home in Maine, had become frontiers
men and had like himself settled in
Towa, he stuck a notice on his cabin
door to the effect that he had gone
visiting and would reiarn within a'
couple of months, and started on
horseback to welcone the newcomers.
He enjoved his visit, but fould his
former neighbors not disposed to
take serionsly all his advice. 'When
he spoke of the ferocity of the wild
hogs that infested the country—
“pumpkin-seeds” they were called,
because of their tawny color and
conical forms-——all the Crawfords
langhed,
"“Wolf, there, can take the biggest
razorback that ever squealed, and
put him out of bhusiness in no time!”’
Jim Crawford scoffed. Jim was
twenty vears old.”
“Maybe 50,” mumbled the old ma.n‘.l
Then his eyes hegan to twinkle, and
he spoke again. ‘“‘Along last fall,”i
he said. ‘I heard a racket out in the
brush behind my ecabin, and 1 went
out to look round. On the other gide
of a clearing where I'd had potatoes,
I spotted a big black bear, standing
over a pumpkin-seed that he'd just
walloped the life out of. Next mo
ment another pig showed up-—big
gest one I ever saw, he was, and it
seemed to me his ears were set half
way between his nose and the root
of his tail. Before I'd stood there
two minutes, twenty or thirty more
pumpkin-seeds had sneaked into the
clearing, and were looking kind of
doubtful at Mr. Bear.” ;
“And then Mr. Bear got mad and
thrashed the whole outfit,”” laughed
Mrs. Crawford. ‘“‘Don’t tell us that
a bunch of ‘scrawny pigs made a hear
run, Elijah Purdy.”
“They didn't make him run,”
agreed the trapper. ‘‘They circled
round him, and then, all of a sud
den, bear and pumpkin-seeds were
piled up ten deep. But it was all
over in a lew minutes; there wasn’t
anything left of the bear but a few
bits of fur and his bones, and those
were polished pretty clean.”
This story roused in the settlers a
spirit of ridicule. They laughed at
Mr., Purdy's respeet for wild hogs,
and Jim oifered to go out with a
club, accompanied by the great half
mastiff dog called “Wolf,” and ex
terminate a drove of the animals. |
A few days later Mr. Purdy and
Jim started down the Maquoketa‘;
River beyond what is now the town}l
of Hopington. They were armed
with heavy, long-barreled shotguns,
that took eight drams of powder for
each barrel, an%tjat were powerfgl
enough to kill &' fox or wild turk‘%
at shotgun range; also they were
accompanied by Wolf. Buddy, an
English bulldog who had been givenl
to the Crawfords by some east-bound
rovers, was to be unchained as soon
as Wolf was gone—for the bulldog(
and the half-mastiff were never al
lowed to run at the same time. Thus
Mrs. Crawford would have the com
panionship and protection of Buddy
while the other dog was away.
Unfortunatley for this plan, before
the hunters had tramped two miles
Jim discovered the white bulldog
skulking a few rods behind.
“Confound the dog!” said Jim.
“Father won’t be home till night and
mother will be nervous without a
living thing for company. We'll have
to lead Buddy to keep him and Wolf
from fighting, too.”
The bulldog was secured by a
strap Jim had worn about his waist,
and so leashed, trotted amiably at
his master's side. Occasionally he
wrinkled his nose at Wolf, but it was
easy to keep the enemies apart.
Game was scarce. Mr. Purdy
dropped a goose as it rose, flopping,
from a side current in the river, and
Wolf killed a woodchuck. Aside from
this, they had seen nothing when
they stopped to eat dinner near a
marshy stream that emptied into the
Maquoketa.
“Looks as if 1 wasn't going to get
anything!” Jim grumbled. ‘I say,
Mr. Purdy, what do you suppose
Wolf is after?”
The men turned and stared into
the brush-filled bed of the little
stream, which had been behind them
as they ate. Then, at sigkt of an
animal which broke from the cover of
the slough, Mr. Purdy jumped to his
feet.
“Call off that dog!"” he eried.
“He's chasing a young pumpkin-seed,
and there'll be a whole swarm after
him and us if he hurts the brute.”
But even if Jim had wanted to
call his dog, he could not have done
so. Wolf was hardly a rod behind
the pig when it ran from the brush,
and in a dozen leaps he had over
taken and killed his victim.
“That shows what a pumpkin-seed
amounts to with Wolf,” Jim boasted.
Mr., Purdy was staring into the
brush. For a few moments after
the pig's squeals had ceased he stood
listening and watching. Then he
pointed up the creek.
“‘See there!” heexclaimed. “There’s
the first one! There'll be plenty
more in a minute. . Call this dog, if
he'll come. We can get out on this
tree that slopes over the river.”
Awed by the fear that showed on
the trapper's face, Jim called fran
tically to the mastiff and began drag
ging Buddy toward the tree by the
river. Buddy saw Wolf worrying
the body of the little pumpkin-seed,
and hung back, growling and trying
to brea™ away. Mr. Purdy urged
Jim to loose the dog, but this the
young man was unwilling to do. In-
stead, he crught the bulldog by the
collar and dragged him to the foot
e tree.
b :\}i this point he paused to look
| bak. Fifteen or twenty pigs ha;ll
fflm,pmnd—:reat tawny beasts, “’,t
' long lezs and lean sides, looking, .]?-
| deed, more like wolves than like
b
H)l;:..é{.p how they keep the little ones
behind ” said Mr. Purdy.
The drove had formed a crescent,
which advanced with its hollow side
toward Wolf. The dog stood menac
ing them with bared teeth; but that
even he was frightened was apparent
from lds taking the defensive. Sud
denly the foaming, rabid animals that
formed the horns of the half-moon
closed in hehind the dog, and with
squeals of rage threw themselves
upon him.
“Come up here!” commanded the
trapper, grasping Jim’s shoulder and
whirling him toward the tree. “It'll
be our turn next.”
Probably Jim saw the mneed of
flight. His face was as white as his
companion’s as he clambered out
along the sloping trunk of the bass
wood to a place where he could steady
himself and Buddy by throwing one
arm round a branch. When he
ooked toward the pumpkin-seeds,
Jolf had disappeared, and the brutes
were tearing something that might
have heen an empty sack, or even a
pile of leaves.
Afterward they came in a ramb
ling line toward the tree where the
men had found shelter. At its base
they paused and stared up, their
little eyes shining red and green
as the lust for blood surged through
their dwarfed brains. Jim raised
!both hammers of his big shotgun
and planted its stock against his
shoulder.
“Now,” he muttered, “I’ll put
some of you where you won’t kill
!an‘v more dogs!”
Probably he would have done so |
lhad not Mr. Purdy grasped the bar
rel of the gun and held it toward the
water. ‘‘lf you shoot one of them,
they’ll stay here till we starve and
drop out of the tree,” he said. “Wait.
They'll keep us here long enough,
anyhow.”
~ The pigs might have been forgot
ten their grievance if they had not
seen Buddy. But at sight of his
square, muscular body, quivering
with eagerness to get down and set
‘tle in his own fashion the matter of
the right of way, they bristled and
squealed with renewed anger.
Mr. Purdy glanced toward the end
branch of the basswood. “Can’t get
farther out,” said he. ‘There you
come! I knew you'd do it!” °
A hog, whose long, shark-like muz- |
zle was lathered with seam, had run l
up the trunk, but had slipped and .
fallen. As he splashed .into the
swirling water, bobbed under for a
moment, and then reappeared. to set
ouf_clumsily for the other side, the
rest of the drove edged away from
the steep bank. For a while they
stood champing their jaws and peer
ing up into the tree; and at sight of
their hideous faces Mr. Purdy shiv
ered and edged out on his branch,
while Jim stood sullenly and defied
them with hot eyes. Then, just as
the old man’s fingers were working
nervously at the hammers of his gun
a pumpkin-seed ran straight for the
foot of the tree and ran up its
rough, scored trunk.
“Knock him off with your gun!”
shouted the trapper.
But the pig was too close for such
tactics. Indeed, so rapid had been
his charge that he was already within
‘reach of Buddy, at whom he snapped
with a quick, snarling lunge. At the
same instant Buddy closed his teeth
on the fleshy nose of the pumpkin
'seed. There was a piercing squeal
as the animal tried to free himself,
and after a short struggle, dog and
hog dropped from the tree.
~ “That critter’ll remember the last
time he tackled Buddy!” Jim shout
ied. forgetting his peril in joy at the
’plg's dilemma.
When the combatants came to the
surface, Buddy waz still holding his
enemy by the nose. Even the shock
of cold water had failed to loosen
his grip, and as the two floated away,
the dog, at least, seemed happy. The
other pigs trotted along the bank,
but evidently were unwilling to
plunge into the water for the sake
of helping their companion.
“Now's our chance!” Mr. Purdy
said, excitedly, as he saw the drove
sweep into the brush of the intersect
ing creek. ‘‘They'll follow till Bud
dy and his friend drown or float
ashore. Let's run for it.” They
scrambled down, and in five minutes
had covered so much country that
they felt safe in slowing to a walk,
Two hours later they reached the
Crawford homestead; and while they
Wwere eating supper, rejoicing because
they had not shared the fate of Wolf
and Buddy, and mourning because
two good dogs had been killed, some
thing scratched at the door, and suc
ceeded in forcing it open. It was
Buddy, wet, footsore and cut about
the head and muzzle, but happy.
It was impossible to learn how he
had escaped, although Mr. Purdy
suggested that he might have clung
to the pumpkin-seed until the latter
went down, and then floated ashore
across from the drove. Even to satise
fy their hatred, the pumpkin-seeds
would hardly have tried to swim after
him. Like their cousins of the farm
}yard, these wild hogs were not fonqd
ot swimming.-——Youth's Companion.

As a climax Miss Rebecca Holmes,

Washington, D. C.—That there has

Government espionage system as se

Service Moran testified that detectives
from his bureau were employed by all
departments of the Government, in

the armor belt of rhips of the Con

So far as the Dreadnought and the
Connecticut are concerned, he said,
the Connecticut is better protected
above the water line, inasmuch as
when fully laden her sides are pro
tected by armor that extends sixteen
feet above the water, while under the
same conditions ‘‘the English ship’s
defense on the sides is restricted to
armor that rises only from four to
four and a half feet above water.”
Sir William denied that there is
any danger involved in the direct
hoist, which the writers say is re
sponsible for the accidents which
have occurred on American ships. He
said he himself was the inventor of
the ‘‘broken hoist,” so called, and it
was brought out by him to save time
and not to minimize danger.
The accidents on the American bat

a premium upon the greatest number
of shots and the greatest number of
hits in a given time in target prac

roof of a New York settlement house.
It was to demonstrate the value of
such a place to the tenement district,
and most of the $20,000 was used in
taking pictures of it crowded with
the half dozen persons it would hold.
In the meantime a great municipal
playground two blocks square was
being built within a stone’s throw of
that roof, and teamsters cut down all
the trees that had been planted while
the settlement people were absorbed
in their own little petty affairs.
