Power can be developed upoi many surface streams and applied ^ to the recovery of the water of the streams after it has sunk into the earth in the lower lands of the valleys says appear in the United States Geological Survey report. Ar instance of this character, according to the United States Geological Survey, is to be found along Santa Ana river in Southern California. A pari v of the water of this river is stored in a reservoir in the Can Barnardinc Mountains and the flow of the stream ?is thereby regulated. After it escapes f7?r>m the Tecervnir it is di\*ertf?d %y - through a power plant and electric 01 power is generated. Below this power plant it is rediverted, and passes through a second power plant. Below this it is all distributed and used for municipal purposes and irrigation about Redlands and High^ lands. The waters that return from t the irrigation are recovered in springs and flowing wells and by pumping plants, a portion of the power developed higher up on the stream being used for the pumping. This recovered water is used for irrigation about San Bernardino and Riverside. A part of it reappears in the river above Riverside Narrows where V ^ it is again taken out into a power ditch whose waters are returned to the river above Corona. A fewmiles below, it is picked up by canals and distributed to the orange and deciduous groves about Anaheim and Santa Ana. The portion of it that returns there by irrigation to the ground water is once more recovered by the many pumping plants and - ^ flowing wells west of Santa Ana. A sinele dron of water in its Droe ress from the mountains to the sea, a distance of only 100 miles, may thus "be used as many as eight times for power and irrigation. A Scotch Proposal. Andrew Carnegie tells of a unique jP^ proposal of marriage which was an / actual happening in a Scotch town where he was stopping one summer. A Scotch beadle was very much in love and was also extremely bashful. He could not make up his mind to ask the woman for her heart and hand in the ordinary manner. He made several attempts, but his courage always failed him at the auspicious moment. One day he asked her to go for a walk and led the way to the churchyard. There, finding the lot where his ancestors lay, he pointed to the headstones and said: "All my folks are buried here, Joan. Wadn't ye like to be laid away here wi' 'em some day? '?Everybody's.
