The rain belt | has moved westward far beyond the 10vth meridian, or, to be more accurate, a new rain belt has been created. For | thirteen years, from 1870 to 1883, men | entered the arid zone, built houses, plowed the prairie sod, sowed grain, und attempted to farm. - They lost their money. their time. and, in many cases, their courage. | Many of these men re- turned east to live on their wives’ rela- tives. Ozher men took the abandoned houses snd arid farms, and in time these, too, became bankrupt and return- ed tothe east or pushed westward to the highlands. All men of intelligence knew that the arid zone was untit for agricultural purposes. They knew that the physical contizuration of the land lying west of the arid belt, and which controls its climate, could not be changed. ‘The settlers, eager for land and homes, continued to pour into the dry renion- At last they have been re- warded. They have secured three con- secutive crops of grain, and the fourth crop of wheat is in sight. So much rain now falls in the eastern portion of what was once the arid belt that it is no longer fit for x winter range for cattle. If sufficient rain falls to wash the nutri- ment out of the grass taen there is sufli- cient rainfall to grow wheat to perfect maturity. During the three years lust passed the winter-wheat producing belt has been ushed westward almost 300 miles. At east 25,000,000 acres have been added to the area of the American winier- wheat growing field. The land is virgin. It produces No. 2 winter-wheat. It now looks as though the arid zone was to be the great winter-wheat pro- ducing country. What has wrought the change in the climate of exstern Colorado and western Kansas? That question can not be ac curately answered. The winds blow from the same direction they formerly did, but they are not sirocco-like. The rainstorms come from the west, guner- ally, and in the past the west wind was dry wind. In my opinion the change is due to the extensive irrigation of the land lying along the eastern base of the y mountains. Great rivers, which head in the al snow-banks of those mighty ranges, have been turned into irrigation ditches, and the water which formerly ran wastefully to the Gulf of Mexico has been turned on to the arid plains, There it soaks into the soil. The wind sweeping over the land sucks up a large portion of it. There ie moisture in the air, and it is precipitated asrainon the plains of eastern Col- orado and western Kansas. So exten- sively is irrigation practiced in Colorado that almost all the water was taken out of the South Platte river last year. Fifty miles eastward from Denver the stream wasatiny rill As it iswith the South Platte, so it is with less important streams, and so it will be with streams of larger volume. The system of irrigation which has veen applied to the land lying along the eastern base of the Rocky mountains is now being applied to the western slope and to the arid basin lying be- tween the Rocky niountains and the Sierra Nevada range. In « few veare the water which now flows wastefully into the Colorado and the Colambia will be taken from the brituches of those large streams and used to irrigate arnt land. Itvis highiy probable that the climate of the whole Rocky moun- tain region will be changed in the near future, and changed by the irrigstion of the land living west of it More rain will fail inthe bigalands ddring the summ: ‘The streaws which drain the eastern slopes will remain fall longer. More water will be expended on the towill fall in Col- : The arid spear, —— They A ways Did Ie that Way. plains, and orado and ¢ Zone wil priv Ciarley Haskins, ot Milwaukee, an old tel min, was in Europe re- cently and he tells some funny stories about the way the telegraph business is managed over there. For instance, he filed 2 message in an offi e in London, and, out of curiosity, waited to see what became of it The receiving clerk did not place the message in a iittie leather cup and shoot it up the pneumatic tube to the operating-room, as the American Teceiving clerk does. Instead, he bung it on a file hvok, with a number of other Messages, and went on taking in more Messages, placing them on the same book. In about half an hour the hook was full, when the clerk called out to a boy. In five minutes the boy was on his way up the stairs to the operating- room with thut bundle of messages, and he wasn’t in very much of a hurry, either.

There is then the southward, the enormous ex- panse of sea south of the Aleutian chain, five thousand miles of water between Japan and Oregon swarming with the natural food of the seal—tish. They ean have no resting place, or it would be known; they must therefore spend ali their time afloat, seeing that they sleep at sea just as comfortably as. or perhaps more 60 than, on land. They lie on their backs, fold the fore {1 ppers across the breast,‘turn) the hind ones up and over, so that the tips rest on their necks and chins, thus exposing only the nose and the heels of the hind flippers sbove water, nothing else being seen. Heve is no poetical fancy, but a prosaic faet, “rocked in the cracle of the deep.” -Qne can not but think of the enor- mous quantity of fish they must gei through. The common seal, such as we see in our nquaria, has evidently a most voracious «appetite, and never seems to be able to get us much as he can do with. Consider, then, the weight that must be consumed in the vear by | the fur seal, several times its size, roam. | ing about under thoroughly natural con- ditions in its natural clement, inste:d of being cooped up within the four walls of s tank. . As a matter of fact, the hosts of the fur seal produce a notable scarcity of fish around the Pribylovs. It is pertect- ly hopeless to throw # line over the gun wale of a boat. You must go out at least seven or eigut miles, and then you can get nothing but very large hali- | but. Practically the sea for a hundred | miles around is cleared of fish. It is! computed that forty pounds per day is | rather a starvation allowance for an | adult male, twelve pounds to a female, | and not much, if any. less for the tast- | growing pups. Allow an average of | ten pounds per individual per day, and | calculate what four or five miliions would consume every r—only seven million tons or so. Why, all the fishing of the world is but a drop in the bucket compared with this. We must remem- ber, too, that the seal is only one of the creatures which prey on fish. I can well believe what is asserted by many well-informed people, taat the supply of sea-tish is inexhaustible by any meaus known to man.— All the Yeur Round.
