CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE. Cleopatra's Needle, which stands in Central Park, New York is a line specimen of the art of a nation that for over 4,000 years held a position something similar to that of the United States to -day. When Thothmea III erected this obelisk, about 1,600 B. C., to commemorate his victories over the enemies of Egypt his country was the richest and most powerful in the world, the great centre of trade and the leader in letters and arts. The last independent leader of Egypt. Cleopatra had the obelisk transported from Heliopolis, the old capital, to Alexandria, thereby giving it its pres- ent name. With the fail of ancient civilization the old buildings of Egypt decayed and everything about that country wa forgotten. Finally, at the insti- gation of Napoleon, scientists under- took to solve these secrets and a- roused interest in that long forgot- ten country. The Needle was given to the United States by Egypt and was transported here at the expense of the late W. H. Vanderbilt. It was erected in 1881. The crabs it stands upon are replicas of the originals, which are in the Metropolitan museum. In the mu- seum too, a model is to be seen show- ing how the obelisk was lowered and raised into position. It is sixty-seven feet high and weighs 180 tons. Gazing at it, it is hard to realize that when it was erected Moses had noo been born, that not one being in Europe could read or write, indeed that Greece, Rome, England had never even been 'heard of, GLIMPSE OF CREATOR OF "JIGGS" AT HOME Everybody knows "Jiggs"-.and "Maggie"—the down trodden male and his strongarm spouse, who makes laughter in daily Papers. But few know George McManus, their clever creator. What manner of man is this artist? Where does he get his ideas? A glimpse of George McManus at home is given as follows by Eugene Campbell writing in Circulation. The creditor of Bringing Up Father, The Newlyweds, Let George Do It, and others works of the imag- ination and industry, live on Ce i- tral Park South and does most of his contriving at a window„ high enough above the life of the streets to be away from its noise and motion and wide enough to appear to lei the • park in. As he says to himself: "The landlord doesn't own the park, but he makes me pay for it, and it's worth pit." When McManus first began telling the world in -pictures bow many laughs per hour it had in it, he used to draw them anywhere, mostly in a Park Row newspaper office, and in a general ,air of Commotion and urgency. He says now that that's bad for arty --that to ask a man to keep- his thoughts fresh in a place crowded with editors, art 'managers, argument, ei'garet smoke and horse play and amateur oratory ie like asking a man with ten children to snake his will at a football game. You've got to be in a quiet place by yourself, he vnaintains,if you want to do yourself any sort of seasonable ju*tiee• as a serious artist.

The dogma to t e effect that he who laughs last laughs beat holds all the way through in making pictures for thedear pub- lic. Let the laughter die down for the space of a gesture in one of the pictured characters or be wanting in the roll of an eye or the twist of a dip, and inatead of melriment there's melancholy and nobody but the artist is to blame. And above all the last laugh at the last point in the last minute of the last picture in a series has go to be the best laugh and ring absolutely true to life.' If it isn't the whole affair flivvers. And McManus perched at his high window comprehends this, and there are days when he takes the work of half a day off his drawing board, tears it carefully into small piecea and goes out to a theatre or perhaps only for a walk in the park and de- votes himself to forgetting all about what he has been at for 'hours. Just flow he arrives at the compositions which do please hint all the way through he doesn't know exactly He says there's a right and a wrong way to do it, but there isn't a formula. "Sometimes,”- he explains in try- ing to explain at all, 'a grand idea hits you. A friend says something or a guard on the subway makes an observation or a notion comes float- ing in the window out of the park and you say to yourself, 'this is it.' "And so you set up your drawing board and buckle to work. For a while it's Mine, everything seems to drop into place, the characters take on life and walk, the picture seems to gather momentum es it goes and then— 'You stop and wonder what's up. bddenly it becomes a little hard to go on and you rest your mind with something else for twenty minutes. Then you come back and have another look at your work. You don't know what's the 'matter with it except that absolutely something is. And so you throw that away. And then the next morning you settle down again with not an idea on earth and without any preparation at all the thing that baffled you yes- terday gets into gear and comes out a thing that balances and justifies itself like a Swiss watch—or else something altogether different takes hold of you and you go ahead and do that and to your utter surprise it's good. Yes, being an artist is like laying bricks. You've got to know how to lay them and above all how not to spill them." Serious artists vary in the sources from which they draw their inspira- tion in the best sense of that -word. McManus says the only kind worth having is the one you're married to. Mrs. McManus is an artist on her own account. She has a beautiful soprano voice, and is well known to concert goers. / In event of sudden' floods all sec- tions ,of a new hydroelectric dam a- cross an Italian river can be raised quickly.

Horses for `military and .police purposes are-a1so becoming hard to secure, Wielle choice saddl- ers and hunters are'only to be found occasionally even in distrlcte that formerly were noted for breeding these types.: The report deplores the existence of the erroneous idea that owing to the advance of motor trac- tion the usefulness of the horse has passed. In this northern country,. this, ig the opinion of owners, man- agers and dealers, will never hap- pen. The question of power has been discussed with farmers and others, many of whom are using both tree - tors and horses, or trucker -As the case -may be, and the consensus of opinion, backed up by cost account- ing, is that horse power, taken by and large, is the cheapest power for farm work, ail well as t'he pleasant - .est, while in the cities, for delivery and cartage work within a radius of from five to seven miles, or on a loop route, or even on a long route with frequent stoppages, horses supply the most seasonable means of transpor- tation. The opinion is expressed by some that horse breeding propagan- da should be started to encourage the breeding of horses of the types required, or they fear that there will be a serious shortage in the next three or four years. Another regret expressed in the report is that pure bred horses are being imported which could just as well be bred in Canada. Federal assistance to the club system is said to be serving its purpose well, leading where appliel tc the raising of an improved type of horse. AN ADVANTAGE OF TILE DRAINING A correspondent who confesses to being somewhat of a tile dram enthusiast, deplores the fact that so many fields, with little creeks running through them, which could easily be put underground, are al- lowed to run to waste. The land in the vicinity of the creeks, be de- clares, is generally the best in the fields. His account of his own ex- perience in draining a piece of land which had a small creak running through it is as follows: "The creek in question originated in the bush beyond the field to be drained, and what I wanted to do was to pass the creek underground without having to commence my tile gr at its source. Being unable to obtaiTh.vice on the matter, I had to I invent a scheme of my own. "I dug my ditch the length of the field up to the bush. Here I con- I structed a cement tank. On the side • M. the tank at the upper part, I left an opening about one foot deep the width of the tank, and across this opening q stretched a piece of sand screening, through which my' water could flow freely into my tank. Then, from my tank, I laid my tiles. For several years I have been cropping some of my fields in this way moat successfully. Of course, it is by no means a perfect scheme, as the screening has to be watched, particularly in the Fall and any dirt removed. This is not a pleasant job when the water is cold, but as - soon as the snow covers the leaves for good, there is no further trouble. ' This scheme might not be feasible everywhere, but Here we have lots of snow to keep things from freez- ing. This scheme can also be applied in a case where a neighbor will not do any draining and you have his water running over your land. 1 "If at any time it should hap- pen that yon wish to continue your 1 dram upward, along the' course of the stream, then it is quite easy to do so; allowing the water to dis-.I charge into the tank. Only, it is wise to choose as dry a time as possible( so that there will be as little dis- charge of dirt into the tank as pos- sible. It is Mso quite feasible to let the water pass over your land' until 1 you are ready to make your conned- ' tion with the tank. "Another difficulty which I have i had to surmount in connection with , tile draining, is where one has to drain a field into a creek which one is not ready to put underground. th where can creek is shallow,, the plough- man is sure to do his level .best to break your tile or at least plug them up with dirt, thereby rendering them uselss. In this case, I have run my mein tile parallel to the creek and my branches into this and selected just one place in the bank for.discharge, where there is no' chance of the bank caving in or the teamster to get at it as, for instance, near,a tree or some place that he cannot plough. At the worst you will onlyehave one outlet to attend to instead of many. Many a time I have wondered why my tiles were apparently not working and have always .found that the teamster had destroyed the outlet."
