Colonel Roosevelt, whose activities in behalf of this great reclamation project led to its commencement during his administration, was the principal speaker at the opening exercises. The first stone of the dam was laid September 20, 1906, and it was completed February 5, 1911. The structure cost approximately $3,500,000. The reservoir will store twelve times more water than New Croton, Wachusett and Ashokan combined and insures ample supply for irrigating the desert valley of ; the Salt river.

Boston.—In addition to the indus trial classes for girls in the regular day elementary schools Boston has in full operation two more ad ROW vanced schools for girls who sooner later expect to take up some in B dustrial pursuit. These are known as the Girls' Trade school and the High school for practical arts. The Girls' 11 Trade school is conducted for the purpose of giving a trade training to B girls between the ages of 14 and 18 years who are obliged to become ISf 'wage earners. or It does not matter jhow far a girl has progressed in the ■elementary schools.

This MS work is immediately and definitely lH ^correlated with the shop. Articles are also manufactured and j placed on 6ale. The standards of the school In every department are the same as found in outside shops and factories. The prices are the same as charged In the better shops, and the quality of workmanship must be t as high. Thus in the school the girls I meet the same high conditions that I »they afterward meet outside. The t chool begins in September, when the ther schools begin.

This school aims to prepare Its pupils, graduates from the elementary schools to meet the conventionalities of home life, to give direct training in the forming of judgments of the type required for home making and to ground them thoroughly in the sub jects that underlie the practical arts of the household. The upper classes are divided into two groups, both being trained for home making, though one spends more or less time in industrial work. In connection with the school a house is maintained at 6 Perrin street, Roxbury, in which general housekeping is taught. This home contains a laundry, living room, din ing room, kitchen, pantry, bathroom and a number of chambers. Instruction Includes laundering, work of the kitchen, care of the din ing room. The setting and serving of luncheons, the furnishing and equip ment of the house and the arrange ments of furniture and decorations are taught. On the second floor there is a room fitted up for the study of nursing. The course is four years in length, two-thirds of the time is for academic subjects and drawing and one-third to industrial work, English history, arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry, chemistry, physics, biology and hy giene. ' At the Sarah J. Baker school build ing, Roxbury, there are working and class-rooms in the building. The two school kitchens furnish the noonday lunch for all the pupils.

The hunters known as the Rocky Mountain club had'invited Dit to eat with them and tell them He came mars things about his business, prepared for a good object lesson. In order to avoid surprises he opened the cases upon arrival, and in the progress of the dinner from soup to nuts the 100 club members had the intimate company of a variety of snakes, lizards, tortoises, monkeys, waltzing mice and others of Ditmars* daily associates. They lolled on or scampered over tables, tried various courses and were so pleased with the style of things that they were ready to pose as exhibits when the curator arose to speak. Ditmars first sot out to prove that except for weight a boa constrictor would make a good muffler, one 25 feet long, which was heavy to lift, but which snuggled close to the speaker's neck when placed there, and pinched no harder than would have He had pound, and bring high prices all the year round, the demand for them al ways exceeding the supply. The eggs are taken from the fish by hand by a process known as strip ping, extreme care being taken in the handling of the fish. Each female fish will produce from five hundred to one thousand eggs, which, after being taken from the fish, stick together about forty minutes, during which time a slight jar will destroy them. At the expiration of this time they are washed and counted (by measure) and placed on trays in troughs of run ning water in the hatchery building. In thirty to forty days the eyes of the embryo fish begin to show through the shell of the egg, and the fully de veloped fish puts in an appearance after the lapse of sixty to ninety days. When being prepared for the hatch ery the eggs are placed in trays, fif teen thousand eggs in a tray, three trays being placed one upon another.

Representatives of all the dealers are scouring the country for articles of vertu which they think may find a purchaser among the throngs of vis itors who will be In London this sum mer. There is one dealer who Is pre pared to purchase collections at a figure as high as $250,000, and he es timates that antiques of a total value of $26,000,000 will leave England this summer, purchased by Americans, co lonials, Europeans and celestials. "In an ordinary season the sales would not amount to more than $10, 000,000," he added, "but this season we expect exceptionally big prices, owing to the huge demand for an tiques, and we can afford to offer a higher purchase price." The articles principally in demand are porcelain and China bearing the imprint of the factories of Chelsea, Worcester, Plymouth, Derby, Bristol, Dresden and Sevres.

There nearly was trouble for Dit mars when he called upon a woolly monkey from Brazil to go through its paces. That animal had mads friends at all the tables in the course of the dinner, and had taken a social glass with everybody who offered It As a result his efforts to respond to the call of his keeper were confused by the vision of several Ditmarses, from whom he had great difficulty in select ing the one to whom he belonged.

A group of Jl-Ji runners, a pigmy kangaroo, waltzing mice from Japan, and a Borneo monkey, who breaks the necks of wolves, and eats them, com pleted the exhibit, Ditmars telling all their good qualities, and skipping the bad ones if they had any. They all went obediently into their suit cases after the speaking, and Ditmars car ried them home to the zoo. the egg tray upon the fish trays. At this stage of life there is a food sack attached to the body of the fish upon which it subsists for about thirty days, during which time it sWims very little, but, for the most part, lies quietly on the bottom of th T tray. After the food sack is absorbed the fish are up and doing and ready for artificial feeding. Their food consists of finely ground and sifted liver, which is obtained in large quantities from the Chicago stock yards and which constitutes the only food of the fish during their entire lives. At the end of sixty days the fish are taken from the hatchery building and placed in what are called the rearing ponds.

The speaker was Miss Mary W. Kerr of Harrisburg, Pa., in connec tion with the topic of "Frenzied Fi nance in Missions." In urging the so ciety to be more liberal in its contri butions to chantable work, she said: "For every $ 3 , 1)00 contributed to charity, $17,000 is spent for chewing gum."
