TO HARNESS THE NILE BPr.TSOH OOVEBMVEKT'^ J ECT. Planned to Construct Great Reservoir* t • Irrigate Ejyi»t*« !»«•■ rf Lunds. A tremendous task Is to be undertak en by the English lu Egypt—nothing lets than the creation, for purposes of irrigation, of n reservoir having two or three times the superficial area of Lake (leneva. Ex-Consul General F. C. Pen field deserll>cB the proposed undertak ing In the February Century, in an Il lustrated article appropriately eutitlcd ‘‘Harnessing the Nile.” lie says: Engineering skill Is to rearrange na ture’s surface on the Egyptian fron- ; tier, and pond back Into Nubia a body of water 140 miles long, crossing the tropic of Cancer, and extending south ward nearly to Ivorosko—a goodly step on the Journey to Abu-Simbel and Wady-Halfa—by means of a great dam across the Nile at Assuan. The Pyra mids and the Sphinx have !>orne testi mony through the ceuturles to the grandeur arid power of execution which dwelt within the Nile valley;, and wluit more fitting now than that the j same valley be the theater of a gigan tic engineering exploit, audacious per- j haps, but certain of success, and minis-1 icrlng to man's necessities, rather than ; to his vanity. As a building achievement the scheme is on a scale worthy of a Itameses or a Pharaoh. To create in the heart of the African desert a lake having from two to three times the superficial area of latke Geneva, in Switzerland, and con trol It with scientific precision, so that the impounded flood may lie turned into distant channels at will, is a stupend ous undertaking. Rut the engltieers claim that their plans can be carried out to the letter; they have estimated tlie exact cost of the d.tm. couiputntcd almost to the gallon the volume of wat er that will be imprisoned, and figured the necessary resistance to be provided at every point of the masonry. In Cai ro, the experts of the ministries of pub lic works and finance, likewise, have calculated to a nicety the sum front taxation that will eonte into Die public treasury through the country’s aug mented productiveness. Subordinate to the groat dnm, a smaller oue, not unlike tlic barrage at the npex of the delta, ten miles to the north of Cairo, Is to be made at Asslut. Its function will l>e to give a sufficient head to the river to force the water Into the system of irrigation canals that vein hundreds of i housands of ueres be tween Asslut nml Cairo. The comple tion of the Cairo barrage (it was begun by Mehemet All Pasha, from the plans of a French engineer, but not made ef fective until England took the country in hand) so developed cotton culture ns to add to the public revenue of the country at least $10,000,000 annually. II may safely be concluded that the As sunn reservoir is but one of a series which will in time lie constructed southward to the Victoria Nynnzn. The re-cetablishment of the Khcdivnl au thority at Khnrtouui will determine Mils. The Egypt of the map shows more than 400,000 square miles, nn expanse nearly seven times ns great ns New England; but the practical Egypt—that which produces crops and sustains life —Is barely ns large us the states of Ver mont and Rhode Island taken together. This Is the riblxm-likc strip of alluvial land bordering the Nile, a few miles wide on each side, and measuring not more than 10,500 square miles. The ex tension planned, anil to be completed In the next six or eight years, wholly by Irrigation, is no less magnificent in conception than the rescuing from the Libyan and Arabian deserts of 2,500 square miles, or twice the area of Rhode Island. This will in* exploita tion in Its truest sense, and Its acconi- I pllshmcnt will lie a verification of the ancient saying that “Egypt is the Nile, and the Nile Is Egypt.” IsYoiiTf HAIR TURNING GRAY?

Cleveland Moffet relates some stories that were told him by a celebrated hunter of big game, Peter Burgess of Bristol. Many yeais ago, when the world was young er than it is now, Livy described in that wonderful way of his how ele phants could be carried over a stream. Mr. Burgess has a similar topic—how elephantß swim a river. “It Is a great sight to see a line of elephants cross ing a river with steep banks. They go down slowly, striking tho ground with their trunks before each step, and never making a slip or miss, although you feel every minute as if they were going to take a header Into the water. Then they wade or swim, as the case may be, and they swim beautifully, not hesitating to cross half a mile of deep water if need- he. I must say, however, that the sensation of sitting on the hack of a swimming elephant is the reverse of pleasant; you fancy yourself on an enormous barrel which may roll round ut any moment and take you under. Besides that, they swim so low In the wuter that you are sure of a wetting, which in India means an excellent chance of fever. Having crossed the stream, they must climb to the top of the bank, and this is the most peculiar operation of all. Down on their knees they go. and with trunk and tusks dig out a foothold for themselves, and so. step by step, work their way to the top. their position being sometimes like that of a fly climbing up a wall. As they reach the top they give a lurch sideways and shoot one leg straight over the bank, then give a lurch to the other side and shoot out the other leg In the same way, which brings them Into the po sition of a boy hanging by his arms from the edge of a roof. Then they come to their knees, and, finally, wltlf a great scrambling and kicking of their hind legs, bring themselves to level ground again. In spite of these peril ous ascents and dcsccn's I never knew an elephant to miss his foothold, al though there was n case where one of the herd got stuck In the mud and sunk gradually deeper and deeper un til only his head and part of his back could be seen. The rajah ordered ton other elephants to he brought up. and they were hitched to tho unfortunate animal, and by pulling together at the given word brought their bellowing comrade out of the mud with a plump like tho pop of n 1,000-ton cork.” BERNHARDT ON SARDOU. ■to* Dlarrlbaa Ills Methods of Conduct ing ItetoMrial*. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt has begun the rehearsals of "I-a Tosca,” the play she Is to revive at the Theater des Nations nt an early date, says the London Post. In an Interesting letter, from which I send you some extracts, the groat actress describes M. Sardou’s mode of conducting rehearsals: “What has always specially struck mV’ says Mme. Bernhardt. "Is the very personal character of M. Sardou’s methods. He gives his attention In the first place to the minor roles. As the work ad vances he proceeds on larger, more general lines, until it seems ns if the stage Is too small and one pines for more space in which to allow the ac tion of the piece to develop, unham pered by material limitations. It Is said that M. Snrdou is very masterful when conducting rehearsals. I have found him, on the contrury, most con ciliatory. and ever ready to adopt the suggestions of others when they de serve to he taken Into consideration. He regards even the stage carpenters, the sccne-shlfters and the firemen as pnrt of the public and is careful to note and to take hints from their im pressions. In this respect he adheres to the practice of Alexandre Dumas. Like Dumas, too, he is not oyersensl tlve as to the fate or' his prose, and never hesitates to cut his text when necessary. Nothing escapes his notice. He pays attention to even the pettiest details. He tries the chairs, sees that the doors open and shut readily, choos es the dress materials and the uphol stery, studies the perspective from the auditorium and mounts to the upper galleries so as to assure himself that the public In the chcnp seats eon see nnd hear everything. He lives nil the roles, nnd nt every rehearsal nets the entire play right through three or flour times over. Ho is very sensitive to cold nnd always makes his appearance mufilcd up In furs and a comforter. He hands his coat to an attendant, com plains at once of the draughts, puts his coat on aguln and again dispenses with It. About 3 o’clock ho takes some slight refreshment, usually a glass of port and cakes, which he shnres with the actors and actresses. While thus engaged he invariably re lates n string of anecdotes, of which lie lins a most Inexhaustible fund, bearing, for tnc most pnrt, of course, on the theater, hut very often, too, on spiritualism, n subject in which he is deeply interested." Nrw Planet. Eros Is the name selected for tho newly discovered little planet between Mi,rs nnd the sun by Herr Witt, the discoverer, though Mr. H. C. Chandler of Cambridge. Mass., the astronomer who computed the planet’s orbit, pleaded to have it called Pluto. Mr. Chandler's computation has been veri fied by examination of the star photo graphs taken at the Harvard observa tory stntlon nt Arequlpa, in Peru. Selfishness is n weakness, yet It Is about the ttiongest force some people' have In them. A spinster says the opportunity is more ot-.en a failure than marriage. AGAINST THE TRUSTS. GOV. THOMAS SENDS A MES SAGE. IVarua the I.eglalutare of tlie Proposed Kncroucliutetiln of Comb tied Corpora tion* and Urge* tho I’naauge of Re atrlctlve I.egUl itlou. Denver, Feb. 22.—Governor Thomas yesterday scut the following message to the Legislature: To the Senate nml House of Represen tatives: When 1 assumed the office of gov ernor I deemed it my duty to luvlte your attention to some subjects of needed legislation, among which wa< tlie rapid concentration of leading in dustries into general systems, popu larly known as “trusts.” Concerning this subject, I then declared that “tlie combinations known as trusts have naturally flourished and expanded un der tlie friendly Influences of.the pres ent administration, lu the process of absorption they have overlooked noth ing. The few pursuits which yet re main outside tin* charmed circle are present subjects of Inves igntlon. They include some industries peculiar to Hi ; West, and some wh'oh are In competi tion with trusts already established. The tremendous economic and p->lilical influence of tin s • modern aggregations needs no discussion. Whether llie evil can be eradicated by peaceful lnetli ods is problematical. Tha t is can It mitigated is highly | robab’.e. Ail enactment win ivby forfeiture and dissolution shall follow the direct or indirect merging of any home cor poration into a gem ral combination of kindred interests in other states, by whatever inline such combimillui Jbal In* known. Is urgently demanded. Let us prevent, ns far as we can. flic spread of this contagion within otr borders, and resist by all methods known to the law the extension of the' so-railed trust sys'em to il:o pursuits which have thus far so greatly promo ted our prosperity and tin- develop inept of our resources. Scon ration <»t church and state is an admitted essen tial to constitutional goveriuueir. Ev ery reason tqn.ii which that dir t rim is founded demand* a like divorce h *• tween tlie trusts and ill • state. If tin remedy suggested be severe, it inns' be tcim*i»l»:-rod Unit tin* disease is dc« pentte. Many of our sister common wealths arc hclpl s.-t in llie presence of creatures they have brought into b • ing but can no longer control, l.el ih profit by their mournful example If we would avoid tli ir fab*. I'lidcr ordinary <1 ciiiust'tvs a sec ond reference to tlie same topic might be justly regarded as gratuitous. Con ditbins have, however, arisen sine.* my induction Into office, then np;nrciit lim not then clearly perceived, which iin | pel me to again address you, and to recommend tlie enactment of som .* on • of tiie bills heretofore Intro luced and Intended to effectuate my fnimr sug gestion. Thi s * conditions are. in Ini *f. tlie projected concent ration of s.nn • important home pursuits into ill • j hands of eastern combination*, nml ; which will become effective at an oil?* ly day if tin* plans now formulated «l*» not miscarry. In the city of Denver are two ilium hint Ing companies. Both are eonsolida tions, over-bomled and over-capital Ized: and both earning large profits up on tlicir actual and watered capital. If we are to credit well founded stab incuts these companies are about to merge Into a third concern, ci nt rolled and officered two thousand miles away,, with an ailegisl stock and lion I Issue nearly inn p r cent, greater than that of tin* combined corporations, and upon which large profits are confident ly guaranteed. The various smelting plants of tli state—with two exceptions—oontcin- i plate absorption hv sonic enormously capitalized company which -will tils , acquire similar plants wherever they may exist throughout the I‘nion. tint-- converting them into one establish incut. Of tlie exceptions, one uses a process of its own ami Inis never man ifested any desire for combination. Or tlu> other, it may lie said upon genera! , principles of human conduct that it will Join Hie combination whenever tli - ] temptation to do so becomes sufficient ly attractive. The great packing bouses of the .Mid die West—coin rolling tin* meat Indus try of tlie globe -are at present pet- , feet Ing tin* details of a trust which, to become effective from tlie statidpolm ; of its promoters, must take in tin* yards and establishments of • tlier I states. Its so-called capital will, of J course, lie vastly in excess of tli;* c.un blued stock and bonds of all existing plants. The reasons given for the const lidu- I'.on of these Interests have heroine , trite from continued repetition. Tli- j action is deiimmled because it s.vst • unitizes tlie Industry, hss n* cost o ' production and reduces i ri •«* to <•< n sinners. The public welfare Is the os ' teiislhle motive that prompts the sicri tier—lt must be s, m-tlilnj eln* tin: prompts the capitalization. It may lie true Unit unification of ir.i industry results in dccrea-e of cost to the consumer of its products, hut tie fact is not apparent in our actual i.\- perleiice. It is true Ih-t decrease in cost <>f production follows consoli la-' lion, hut tills is because the trust It* conics tie* so|<* customer of its raw nui terlal, and fixes tin* prices accordingly. It Is also largely true because it lie | conics the side employer of tin* class of labor which converts the raw mi l Icrio 1 into tin* finished product, aittl i therefore, determines their mtnili r and. to a large extent, their wag.- j rate. On Hie other hand, it limits sup ply to demand, nrtilicially promotes! high prices, and gathers its million accordingly. Apart from its manifold social, mor- 1 il and political dangers, tin* most far reaching evil of tin* modern trust is it.s j inevitable absorption of tin* pursuits mid properties which arc subsidiary to it. Tin* Standard Oil (Company origin ally o refiner of petroleum-first do- I stro.ved its competitive refiners and j then, as the sole customer of the oU I wells, acquired them also, lu rapid sue- j cession it swallowed tin* immufnetur ers of all tin* subsidiary products of pe-1 trolcuin. Pipe lines, railways and steamships have disappeared within it- \ capacious maw. and tj u* end is not yet. j It Is now acquiring control directly «r ludlrectly of the gas and electric iiglit J plants < very where, and will soon b; master of a!l forms of illumination fireflies alone excepted. This is true <;t every other trust and, if the smelti t and packing trusts lire permitted t complete their organization, it is but . question of time when nil mines, niln ers iiml mine owners will belong to tii. one, and all stock yards, cattle and eat tie ranches to tin; other. I trust tin* time lias not come wlo a Colorado legislature will lu* passlv lu tin* presence of pending dangers l!k these. No land can prosper or he fiv whose property is congested, whese earnings are not diffused among them selves, and whose wage earners are tl.« pendent upon the pleasure of artillHa creations officered and controlled l>.» strangers familiar only with terms o, profit and loss. . These huge aggregations have nm'.ii plied niarvcloussly during the past twelve months- IMIS is tin* year oi glory, but it is also the year of trusts The people have been d.verted by ih< pomp and circumstance of war, tluriu; which period trusts, representing jfiiTr.i. 000,000 of capital, real and fictitious him* been organized. Wo can mils speculate what tills means to the neat future. It is urged Hint tho perils which many apprehend from these modern systems are largely imaginary, and that they are but a step in the proeo. «>f industrial evolution, engineered and directed by men of tlie highest stand 'ug and morality, whoso good souse ai .1 high character are a guarantee of safe ly nnd prosperity. It Is. nevertheless, true that tin* development of tin* mod ern trust lias not verified such assur ances. On the contrary, it lias created or exposed a dual character in man Tlie voice that intones ilic litany is the same that commands n rise in the pro of grain when hunger is abroad. The pen that signs a check for tin* erection of u church or a library is the same Mint approves tin* vouchers of tlie !»h bylst. The hand that gives freely to tin cause of temperance in New York the hand ilint regulates tlie output < /' the Kentucky distilleries. Tin* Inflit nice that d»p|otrs the decadence of public morality is frequently the same which tempts :lic public servant to h's downfall. I an. fniiiilinr with tin.* assertion ilia: leg!.-intioti designed for tin* protection . f tin- individual and of private pmp rly against tlie aggressions of the trust is communistic mid pivvcnrs the Invest ment of outside cupit.-f. within our bor ders. Laws which are just and ueces try ennu t he wrong. They should not In* widilnld through tin* reproach o» •oiniiMinism or'tin- threat of alleged in vesto!s. That capital which will not i .ime to i s unii .s it may gorge Itself in •definm • of constitutional safe guards .mil elementary principles of justice is too dangerous t » l> • permitted to •on*'' at all. That Investor who iL'- oi'ds tit? or! -of Ids luv.'t’uc'it the privilege of ;..om pol.zitig an indus try. floating an enormous fictitious cap itiilizatioii. and crushing out all form., of competition, should find neither we! conic not abiding place within our comii'oouwcnhli. He is a foe to our la stituti-us more to h- dread.-.i than ill • I foe lu arms :* hr oral * r ;he common': i In I discontent at home. ) But it Is not trtu* that legislation do ; signed to protect independent elTort and competition grounded upon the common law and the constitution, will discourage Investments. On the con trary. it invites ilicni. Capital goes where it Is needed, and when* profit at lellds its investment. Those conditions abound in Colorado, and they will at tract precisely in proportion that our laws guarantee protection from confis cation either by individuals or by trusts. The iniuiug Industry cannot do otherwise than prosper with smelters competing for their output. Cattle and sheep will multiply through the stimulus of a competitive market. Cities will prosper when their utilities ! levy tolls based upon legitimate capl i talization. All must languish when these elements disappear. It is contended that tin* state lias no I power to stay the onward progress of , tin* trust; that It Is entrenched behind that clause of the federal constitution which gives Congress exclusive control of interstate couierce: that the mach inery of state government is too weak to grapple with their far-reaching In tiuenees. Tills may 1 *«• true, but until I tin* fact shall l»c no declared by the Su ! preme Court of the Fulled States our duty to make Hie effort cannot be evaded. \Ve cannot bo supine and slid- Iter ourselves from tluv wrath of our constituents by casting tin* burden up on the national government. We can not fortify our Inaction by the lame j excuse that laws which we may enact I to scotch Hu* evil will lie overthrown I by the Judiciary. Every platform of our several political parties have fur years rung with the fervent (•entmeia- Hons of these colossal aggregations. ; and the hour lias come wlu*:i we must ■ prove our earnestness by our actions or accept the reproach of hypocrisy. Nor can we evade our duly by offer | ing the excuse of weakness. I have on . another occasion reminded you i "upon ail matters of national concern I we arc a unit: upon issues of minor Im portauce then* arc none which should ■serve to embitter or divide us. No ■ truculent or powerful minority i* pres ent to distract. I'poll II » shoulders but our own can bo placed tlie burdens of ( our official shortcomings.” . I have not attempted to enumerate i the many consequences which llow j from succssful combinations. Tin* j closure of maiy of their acquired es-1 inbllshineiit*: tin* loss of employment , not only to laborers, but to clerks, managers and bookkeepers; Hu* diver-j sfoti of businc: s to distant stales, atld of profits to distant communities, are, but u small part of tlmm. All of them unite in urging you to action.

Catarrh In Its various forms is rap idly becoming a national curse. An undoubted romedy has been discov ered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during tlie past forty years. Prominent men have t-omo to know of Its virtues, and are making public utterances on the sub ject. To save tho country we must save tlie people. To save the people wo must protect them from disease.
