"We are of the opinion." he said, "the gov ernment should not neglect the oppor­ tunities of development offered in sev­ eral of the western arid states by aid­ ing in providing for a national system of irrigation.

Hundreds of persons left St.\ Petersburg, Moscow, Kleff, and else­ where for Odessa on Jan. 6, for tho Russian Christmas, which as the event proved they were doomed to spend iso­ lated from the world. For five days and five nights they were half-starved and half frozen. The first train struck the blizzard south of Razdyelnaia and was soon stuck in a twelve-foot drift. The passengers were not alarmed, ex­ pecting that the line would be quick­ ly cleared. They made themselves as comfortable as they could at the sta­ tion. The expected help did not come, and in the course of twenty-four hours three more trains arrived. There were then 1,800 persons huddled in the sta­ tion with vanishing hope of relief. Tho food stores readily dwindled, and the passengers became alarmed. They clamored that something be done. A telegram was sent demanding help, hut there was no response. Another 24 hours passed, and two more trains laden with terrified and hungry pas­ sengers arrived. They had occupied sixteen hours in covering forty miles. The late arrivals stormed the buffet, struggling ravenously, and consumed what food was left. A horrible night was passed. The passengers were virtually without food. In the morn­ ing a peasant volunteered to carry tele­ grams to the nearest Btation, which was six miles away. He arrived with several of .his fingers frozen. The dis­ patches begged for help from St. Petersburg and Odessa. Sixty pas­ sengers, Including Count Kapnist, re­ solved to trudge and seek sledges rath­ er than to spend another night, on their train, where the stench was al­ most unendurable. Count Kapnist and forty other succeeded in reachtng Odessa on Friday. The fate of the others who started. with him has nol been learned. CMtellane* In Snpreme Court.

Though Eros was only discovered in 1896 it has been found that photographs of the heavens taken three years earlier show the little planet. Only the moon, ot all the planets, is now nearer the earth than Eros, and the now measurements of planetary distances will be made, with Eros as a base. The importance 'Of the discovery ot the exact location ot the orbit of Eros and the distance of that planet from MMAMAAAAMMMWMMAAMWMMM the earth lies in the fact that with such knowledge astronomers will be able to accurately compute the dis­ tance of every heavenly body from this globe," says Forest Ray Moulton, professor of Astronomy University of Chicago. "Compared with the dis­ tances measured the present errors are very small, but with Eros' dis­ tance a known quantity these errors will be nearly eliminated. Eros now occupies the unique position of iwiwg the nearest heavenly body to the earth except the moon."
