Some of these problems are administrative In character and some are legal.

If somebody settled above him on the same watercourse he also was entitled to use the stream, but not to use It In such a manner as to Interfere with the rights of tho man below him. He could take water out of It or use It for power purposes, but he must put that water back. He could not do anything thnt would prevent the man below him from full enjoyment of his rights.

Pilots Must Servo an Apprenticeship of Eight Years or More Before Getting License.

There are now seventy-nipe pilots connected with the New York Association. Each one of these men has had to serve an apprenticeship of from eight to ten They begin as boys, even before they are accepted as apprentices, serving in the pilot boats. Before they become full-fledged pilots they are examined bv a board, constituted for the purpose, and If they pass a satisfactory examination they receive their license.

"Invaluable and Indispensable." said a notable instance ls the ca3e of the Arkansas River, which led to a controversy between two States that ultimately reached the United States Supreme Court. The Arkansas River traverse, the western part of Colorado, then dips Into Kansas and crosses about two-thirds of that State. The Government started Irrigation projects in Colorado and utlllied the waters of the Arkansas River. By the time these works had been completed the Kansas farmers, whose lands lay along the stream, found that their river had practically disappeared. The water had been taken but of It to Irrigate Colorado, and it was never put back, because there was no way of putting It back.

Little by little the Arkansas River in Kansas dried up, until it is now of no more dignity In thnt State than a creek. So the Kansas people, determined to get som3 redrees, brought a suit againa: the Colorado people to recover their river. The suit went through various stages and finally reached the United States Supreme Court. Tbe question hinged very largely upon the application of the old English common law to modern American conditions. It was never applied.

The Supreme Court dismissed the case on certain legal grounds, without ever upon the merits of the question Involved. It might have been highly embarrassing to the Government. In view of Its reclamation works, if the Supreme Court had actually gone into the merits of the case. This phase of the Irrigation problem Is almost certain to call for action by Congress some day. because it ls ever preBent, and It Is manifest that tho waters of a stream cannot be diverted far the purpose of irrigating lands without seriously Interfering with the flow thnt slream.

The average income of a pilot has been set down at J2.000 a year. Since December, 13)5, the pilots have been under the direction of a board of commissioners appointed jointly by the Chamber of Commerce and tho New York the work to the Government in not more than ten annual Installments. The law gave the Secretary of the Interior very large powers. During the ten years that it has been In operation he has had full discretion with regard to the expenditure of about $100,000,000.

The first problems were those of engineering and construction, and they have been solved with notable bucccss. Many of the larger reclamation works, such as the Shoshcue, the Pathfinder and the Roosevelt dams and the Gunnison Tunnel, rank among the great engineering achievements of modern times. The Interior Department has In hand projects, some of which have already been completed, which will irrigate more than 3,000,000 acres of land. Slxty-nlna tunnels have been built, while storage dams have been constructed that will retain nearly 8,000,000 cubic yards of water. Nearly 3,000 bridges have been constructed, nlong with 626 miles of roads, 44 miles of railroad and over 2,000 miles of telephone lines.

The total number of acres which may be Irrigated today ls 1,015,404. It ls costing the Government $1.88 pur acre to operate and maintain these irrigation systems, while the crops which are raised upon hitherto arid lands are worth $23.30 per acre.

He is the man who steers tho ships, little and big, which corae Into and go out from the Port ot Xcw York. If his life Is not romantic and adventurous, the average person delights to think that it Is. But when you sit down beside one of these Sandy Hook pilots over at their club at 17 State street, Manhattan, It Is difficult to get one of them to udmit that there Is auy-think connected with their occupation which makes It moro adventuresome than the average occupation.

"Bigger Than Panama Canal." That Is tho claim made for the Erie Greece. Many International questions are settled by treaty conferences, but that Is nothing new under tho sun. The Am-phictyoraic Council In Greece did the same thing In the earliest times, kceplnR peace between the warring factions of the Hellenic Kingdom, until tho council degenerated into a political tool that was used by tyrants. Peace conferences are so frequent In history that they seem to be qulto as regular as wars, but they differ from the programme of the world peace enthusiasts In the Important particular that they follow wars, rather than precede them, and are a lost resort of nations that have spent their forces of men and money In trying to settle their difficulties with arms.

Schumacher Gives First Exhibition Here at Women's Cosmopolitan Club. At the Women's Cosmopolitan Club, 342 East Thirty-third street, Manhattan. William Emile Schumacher, member of the Autumn Salon and of the Salon of the Independents, In Paris, Fiance, has on view his first exhibition cf oil paintings la this country. It continues until February 10, and it should be seen by all picture lovers and especially by those wuO would see what 1'aris turns out In these days. There nothing of the cubist's cult In the 30 examples on the walls of tho pleasant room, but they are colorful and decorative in a way that is far and away out of tho ordinary.

There are portraits, landscapes aud flowers in oils and sketches in pastel, and all are vividly infused with a vitality that ls seldom present in such atmospheric pictures. While vibrancy is present, it Is not confused in the mind of the painter with opalescent The vibrancy is usually obtained by use ot broken color. And, besides the color charm, there ls elt'0 a quality In the drawing that bespeaks the trained band. All, or nearly all, of Mr. Schumacher's qualities are seen in three views of interiors, showing domestic Incidents in groups of figures.
