Increased interest is constantly being manifested in the utilization of water courses subject to federal jurisdiction. stimulated during the list six months by the ample resources which the important financial institution known as the Bank of Loans to Irrigation Works and for the Encouragement of Agriculture has been able to furnish to our agriculturists and by the sums assigned out of the treasury reserves for the.promotion of irrigation 'works wherever they are IWI - j El possible.

Not only is a feather a miracle of complex structure, in every minutest part adapted for most important and even vital ends, but it may be safely stated that no two feathers on any bird are absolutely identical, varying in contour, in curvature, in rigid ity, in size, by almost imperceptible gradations, so that each fulfills its special purpose. And beyond this, in the great majority of cases, these feathers are adorned with colors which are infinitely varied, and which we can so often perceive to be of use to the individual, the sex, or the species, that we conclude all to be so. - But to produce the result of well defined and constant colors, shades, and patterns on the outer surface of the bird each feather has 'to be colored on that portion of its surface which is not overlapped by the ad joining feathers at the time when the color is needed, and this is in variably the case. Every attempt to explain these phenomena utterly breaks down, so that now even the extreme monists, such as llaeckel, are driven to the supposition that every ultimate cell is a conscious, intelligent individual, that knows where to go and what to do.
