Speaking of drouths the present
dry spell doesn’t seem to be confined
to any one section of the United
States or even this continent. The

from New York showed a

vania. The Southeast which suffer-
ed from too much rain earlier In
the year, !s now in the hands of a
serious drouth; M’ssouri, Oklahoma
and Kansas likewise are very dry.
All of Texas, evcept the extreme
Southwestern corner, is dry. Away
down in Argentina, on the south end
of South America the same drouth
prevails. An Argentine agricultural
engineer, on a visit to the Un'teJ
States, says the drouth in Argentine
is assuming such proportions that it
1 ’s approaching a crisis.
“The latest reports I have receiv-
ed," he adds, “are to the effect that
one thousand cattle are dying every
day, and It is estimated that three
million will perish before the year
is out. The ground is so hard that
a plow cannot make any Impression
The wheat crop will be the smallest
it has been in years, and farmers
who have been plant'ng six thousand
acres of alfalfa every year are th's

When it is considered that there are
80,000,000 people in this country
and hut 6,000,000 ia Argentine, the
extent of the wheat industry to my
country can be appreciated. The fact
is, Argentina is essentially an agri-

The conquest of the air by

All of wh'ch is true, but—
No economical means of securing
radium has been discovered. The
benefits from its use are, on account
of its prohibitive coet, almost nil.
Chemical reproduction has been
delved into on a minute scale, but
none has discovered the why of like
producing like from the top of the
products, man, down tp the lowest
forms of life.
The X-ray ia common, but it has
been robbed, by later discovery, of
many ot its alleged beneficent prop-
erties.
Wireless telegraphy has not yet
been made a commercial success at
great distances.
Submarine navigation is in its in-
fancy and Its perfection will require
more work and study than ever its
incipiency cost. The same is true of
aviation.
The North Pole has been d'scov-

The Himalyans have never been
mounted by man, mountains on our
own continent have still to feel the

alone together spoke Giovanni's
tongue. Hillard because he loved it
and Giovanni because the cook spoke
ft badly and the English butler not at
all.
“You have made up your mind to go,
then, amico?” said Hillard.
“Yes, signor.”
“Well, I shall miss you. To whom
shall I talk the tongue I love so well
when Giovanni is gone?” with a light-
ness which he did not feel. Hillard
had grown very fond of the old Ro-
man in these seven years.
“Whenever the signor goes to Italia
he shall find me. It needs but a word
to bring me to him. The signor will
pardon me, but he is like—like a son.”
“Thanks, Giovanni. By the way, did
you hear a woman singing• in the
street last night?"
“Yes. At first”— Giovanni hesitated.
“Ah, but that could not be, Giovan-
ni; that could not be.”
“No; it could not be. But she sang
well.” the old servant ventured.
“So thought I. I even ran out into
the street to find out who she was, but
she vanished like the lady in the con-
jurer’s trick. But it seemed to me
that, while she sang in Italian, she her-
self was not wholly of that race."
“Buonissima!" Giovanni struck
noiseless brava with his hands. “Have
I not always said that the signor’s
cars are as sharp as my own? No; the
voice was very beautiful, but it was
not truly Roman, it was more like
they talk In Venice. And yet the sound
of the voice decided me. The hills have
