REFINED CRUELTIES
A oorrosiiondeu' of the New York
World Tiflis gives, in a recent
!•> tor, seme account of the kind
ui merciless persecution to which
the Armenians of the Province of
Sivaa, on the road between Constan
tinople and Erzerum, were , sub
jected.. One will search the an
uoia ot history In vain to find a
. parallel for some of the cruel de
vices which the Turks employed in
attemptiug to break the spirt of
their Christian subjects, if the
! World's correspondent is to be be
j iieved. In oue case, a victim was
shod precisely In the same manner
i as a horse. In another, an Armen
ian was done to death by a red-hot
crown of iron pressed upon his
li-^ad. In still another, tho head
man of a village was hanged head
I downvard. At another place twen
ty Armenian, officials were hacked
to pieces with spiked "hatchets. The
tortures inflicted on the women are
too inhuman to repeat.
The soul sickens in contemplation
of these frightful tragedies. Sure
ly. the goverumeut which is respons
ibue far them deserves little con
siderationat the hands of civilized
society.

STUDY OF AMKR1CAN K1YKKS
Water iu surface streams has at
all times played an important rCle
in tho industrial and commercial de
velopment of the .country. In the
early settlement the rivers seirveJ
uot only as the principal means of
communication and commerce but
also furnished power for grinding
grain, carding wool, manufacturing
lumber, and for other industries.
They alto furnished a medium for
transoorting logs from the forest
to the mills.
With the increased population
aud ccrrespcnidng increase in com
mercial development came the ne d
for better facilities for transporta
Mcn and more power for industrial
uses. Later came a demand for
t!ie use of water in streams for
municipal SUJUJl.v luu iui
and it was found that a systematic
s'lidy of the water resources of
tho country was necessary iii order
that works which depend for their
success on the water in streams
could be economically designed and
operated.
As a -result of this demand for
data in regard to water resources
of tb" country the U. S. Geologi
cal Survey started, about 25 years
ago, systematic investigations of
streams id order to determine their
flew aud obtain other information
necessary *or their economical de
velopment, and as a result of these
is available for practically all parts
investigations general' information
is available for ' practically all
par's of the country.
