Water Records
Interesting Data
Pursuant to the notice of adjudica
tion of water rights along the Carson
river, issued by the state engineer
April 10, the claims of all waterusers !
were filed on or before June 10. Under1
the provisions of the law the state en
gineer will start in with the compiling
f the claims July 10. All claimants
who have bought their land recently
have been- obliged to file abstracts
showing the transfer of title from the
3 Id to the present owners. A fee of $a
ind a map was required of each claim
ant. Users whose claims are based on
the Chandles findings started In 1905
,o pay fees of tl each.
The claim bearing the earliest date
was filed by Ab Ambrose, who says that
his father, Nicholas Ambrose, first set-
led along the Carson river In 18m, and
ep Inning In the year 1850 maintained
i ranch and station. Proof Is also sub-
ltued to show that the elder Ambrose
as a few years later given Certificate

erritoiy of . Utah. Ambrose ' claims
vater rights for 370 acres under the
riginal application and 160 acres un

GERMS FUTURE WAR WEAPONS
Mobilization of the mosquito, the

dlsease-carrylnis pests for the dissemi
nation of deadly genus In enemy terri
tory Is n possibility of "the next war"
pictured by Prof. Maxwell Lefroy. a
London st'lentlst.
"I foresee the mosquito from Brazil
starting yellow fever In new lands, the
house-fly. duly Infested with cholera,
dysentery or enteric and the typhus
laden louse dolnu their deadly work
much more effectively than spies poi

In u recent address.
"This would be part of the work of
a war omce or entomologists me
working out of strategic plans for the
; distribution of thee pests by airplane.
Jt seems that the world Is Inteut upon
furnishing an airplane service for
these pests, many of which are now
held somewhat In check by natural
enemies In their native climes. This

"No, go now," ordered Maria, "or 1
Shu II shriek for the police, and tell
them that you made no attempt to

"Very well." replied Henry, through
trembling Hps; "but let me kiss you

Revolutionary bunds and brigands
may rule up atui down oiexico, oui
there Is one strip of territory that even
the hardiest and most daring of them
will not breve. It Is a desert country
that estfuds from a point near the city
of Durango to the borders of the state
of Zucatecas, about seventy-five miles
long by fifty miles wide. It Is as
serted that myriads of scorpions infest
this region and are the most deadly of
the species.
In the city of Durango, although re
garded as outside of the more deadly
zone, the death rate, due to scorpion
stings. Is high. This Is especially true
as to children. The alachiune, as thi
Insect Is commonly called, is regarded
as such a deadly pest that for many
years the municipal government has
paid a bounty of one centavo. equiva
lent to about one-half cent of Ameri
can money, for each one killed nnd
delivered to the official custodian of
dend scorpions. Something like 100,
000 of the scorpions are killed and
bounty paid for thein annually.
Killing scorpions Is a regular Indus
try with many men, women and chil
dren of Durango. One Is told that
some of the natives even go so far as
irt estnhllsh regular colonies of the
poisonous Insects in their homes for
h" "-tiose of breeding thetu tor the
market.

TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
English Idea Is That Art May Help
the .Sightless to Communliute
With OutHe World.
One of the many experiments of the
Royal Drawing society has been to
leach people to draw by touch. The
pupil Is hMnilfoliled and feels a simple
shape, like a hammer of a spade, and
draws It with his eyes open. An ad
vanced pupil has drawn the hend of a
classical bust and the mask of Bee
thoven. These experiments fired Mr. C. B.
Ablett. the director of the society, with
the Idea of drawing by the blind. He
has devised a medium which looks like
the frosted stuff on a matchbox made
liquid, by which, the draughtsman can
follow by touch what he has drawn
and correct or atd to his work. So far
there have been no experiments with a
blind pupil. .
Mr. Ablett does not claim for It more
than that a blind man can draw the
plan or a design of something ne
wishes to record and explain. A blind
gardener has been known to ro Into
ecstasies over the unfolding shapes of
a plant, and the drawing of these
shapes, known to him by touch would
undoubtedly give him a form of es
thetic pleasure. In any case. It would
Increase his meant of communicating
with the outside world.
A great noon. If the methd Is prac
ticable, would be that It would enable
the blind to write and to read writ
