Improvement of Our Arid Regions.
According to official figures, since
the reclamation law was enaoted by
Congress in 1902, eight towns have
been built and 10,000 people have
settled on what were desert lands.
To prepare the way for these settlers
100 miles of branch railways have
been built, 1,267 miles of canals have
been dug, many of which carry
whole rivers, and 47 tunnels have
been excavated. It is estimated that
the territory embraced in what is
known as the arid regions of the
United States covers 600,000,000
acres, of which about 60,000,000
acres are subjeot to irrigation, which,
when properly supplied with water,
can be oonverted into farms fully
as productive as lands in the most
favored sections. A bill was intro
duced in Congress at the last session
for the purpose of reclaiming over
flowed and swamp lands in Arkan
sas, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
New Jersey, North Carolina, South
Carolina and other States, and those
baok of it say that it will be pushed
at the next session. The member
who' offered this measure roughly
estimates the amount of overflowed
and swamp lands to be reclaimed at
50,000,000 acres, the reclamation of
whioh would inorease the land value
more than $5,000,000,000, the annual
orop value $1,500,000,000, and if
sub-divided into for ly-uer J farms,
would supply 2,500,000 families with
homes and put 12,000,000 people on
lands now practically worthless.

Would Kill Weak Babes.
Boston, June 24.-The theory of
Che survival of the fittest has a new
champion in Dr. Andrew Christian,
a successful Back Bay physician, big
athletic and thirty years old.
"If mothers would b*? willing to
have their children quietly put to
sleep forever when they are very
young and ?how signs of deformity
or degeneraoy, the world would be
better," he said.
?If ly myself, had a little child
bora and it was deformed or showed
that it would be mentally weak, then
I would be willing that it should be
put to death with no suffering, sud
it would save it from untold suffer
ing later. This may seem harsh,
but it really isn't."
"A board of overseers of marrisges
is what we want," he continued.
"Tho race is degenerating, ?nd some
radical change must be made soon or
we will in time have only idiots ?nd
imbeciles.
"Only the'fit should marry, only
those who are mentally and physi
cally normal and sane, those whose
ancestors were clean of life and well
balanced mentally.
"The board of overseers, I suggest,
should understand thoroughly physi
ology, psychology and sociology. I
should think doctors, appointed by
the State, would be best. These
could have listK of people in that
State, and, so far as possible, of their
anoestry. They oould then decide
oertain periods of time to look the
individuals up before deciding
whether a couple were fit to marry."

Oyster? Grow on Tress.
The natives of the West Indies tell
travelers, when they make their first
trip to the land where the mangrove
tree flourishes, of oysters which can
be purchased on branches, so many
to the branch. The oysters there
grow on trees. Most of the islands
In the south are fringed with man
grove trees. Some of them grow in
the Bait water, and their brauchen
Iroop until a part of them is sub
merged. Oysters will cling to any
lurface in the water to whioh they
jan fasten themselves, and, as there
ire few shells or stones along the
mores, the bivalves attach them
lelves to the branches. When the
?atives go oyster gathering they lean
