Duriug the past seasou a notable survey has been carried to comple- tion in western Colorado bv the TTnitP.l Sfcatpafipnlnmr.nl R.irv For a number of years the question of the practicability of' diverting water from the Grand (Won of 'fnn t. mation of landsin theUiicompahgre Vallpv. Iipph nprm.l 1 1 taed.

Previous gagings and meas- "rements by the Geological Survey and local engineers had shown that the waters of the Gunnison were sufficient in quantity, and the bed of the stream high enough in elevation, to make the plan feasible. This season's work was devoted to finding the shortest route and the probable cost of construction of a diversion canal. Owing to the fact that the water must be taken from an unexplored canyon of about two thousand feet in depth, and of unknown dangers, the work proved to be extremely difficult. It was, however, successfully accomplished, the canyon being thoroughly explored and photographed by Mr. A.

L. Fellows, whose work stands as one of the most daring and difficult achievements of the year in the annals of the Survey. With one companion, Mr. Fellows succeeded in traversing the canyon, which ex perienced explorers have thus far failed in doing, by being swept over the falls and rapids, and by climb ing along the precipitous walls, finally coming out at the lower end after days and nights of hardship. The results of the survey show that a tunnel about six miles in length is necessary to bring the water from the river to the arid lands, aud that the cost will be well within the limits of a reasonable outlay.

The State of Colorado is now ex pending $25,000 upon the preliminary work of construction. DEATH OF CHARLES YOST. Nephew of Anderson Yosl Dies of Pneumonia at St. Louis. Charles Yost died of pneumonia at his home in St.

Liberty, the watch word of the free, Liberty, what crimes in thy name are com mitted, And if man only knew the force of thy power What strength he could glean from thy bountiful bower. Liberty, the bell is still lolling thy anthems of praise, Liberty, it is thou we look to fur rest beyond grave.

For God in hts wisdom designed it to be, The guide for the widow, the orphan, the free et man his bondage is lost the world, When Liberty's Hag. for him, never unfurled. Blessed, yes thrice blessed, is the child of the field, Who, in harmony, finds Liberty his guide and his snicid, Liberty, God hast given thee for one and all. Yet man, before thee, dost weaken and nail. In harmony is the way thou wuuldst have us go, Whilst man in hU weakness, saith, no.

If a freeman thou would be, whilst on earth. seeK Moeriv Us thine by birth; And Gud will furnish, from on high, The keys that ope the vaulted skyi Oh Liberty! in thee, the goal we reach. As thy as thy harmony, dost teach. And when thou art onveiled in the higher sphere, Life's mysteries, to us, will all be clear. Argos, Match 190.

Indiana Arithmetic Contains Much Good Which Should Be Recognized. i Perfection is an ideal, and there are none perfect, no not one. Let us not lose confidence in humanity when we see some of its frailties. In our poor opinion, to be consist- ent, we must be charitable enough commend a virtue as well as see a fault. Far be it from our nar-! pose to champion an undeserving cause for in conscience we are oourm 10 say, we speaK ai an, that and that only which 1 know.

We are not claiming per- 1 1.1I I fection for the Indiana arithmetic, I nor are we disposed to reject it with our Tippecanoe brethren as a "mixed up mess of fair i ii i jlUJUltLUO lCIIJdl IVdUlC number of incorrect answers.1' We find the answers to problems 71, 72, 73, 74, 7r, 76, 77, 78, 79, SO, page 31, as referred to in the last issue, are, without exception, correct and the 3rd, on page 108, and 12th, page 228, are only misnamed. Con cerning the 35th, page 121, and 100 on page 197, we beg to express our opinion that they are purely arith metical involving simple principles in mensuration and instead of them being given as denominate number and percentage problems respec tively, they are problems uuder the head of miscellaneous examples. With a statement in the article of last week, "Life is too short to have to learn things over or go back and do work that should have been cor rectly learned at we are in full accord and beg to ask by what authority the author's method of ascertaining time in the interest and partial payment problems, is questioned, it being the business man's method without exception, the strict adherence to which will get correct results for the author's problems and will never need to be "learned over." The ratio between the diameter and circumference has been geometrically carried out to over two-hundred decimal places an unwieldy ratio the nearest practical common fractional equivalent being 3 1-7 which is recognized and used by all practical ma-ckinists and therefore has the sanction of our author.

A youth who drags his feet when he walks, who slouches, whose arms, lacking energy, dangle like strings from his shoulders, doei not make a favorable impression upon a proprietor or manager, who looks a boy over from head to foot, notices his gait when approaching his desk or his carriage or manner, and by every, little thing is influenced in his decision, If a boy could only read au employer's mind while he is talking to him, he would learn a useful lesson; but, unfortunately, he usually goeg away ignorant of the things which barred him from the coveted place, This may be a si', furtive glance of eye, which indicates lack of self-control or a vicious habit; it may be a failure to look one straight in the eye; it may be twirling the fingers or playing with his cap while talking; it may be a soiled collar or caff; it maybe unkempt hair or foiled fingernails; it may be an ill-fitting, sloucby suit; it may to to to to to to to to to W.
