AMERICA AND IRRIGATION.

Cut ted States Is further demonstrated
(by a request recently submitted to
the atate department by the Austra

jClfflculty that confronted the govern

uf the actual work to bo done and of
the means used to Bccure the largest
and surest returns on the money In
vested. In this dilemma Australia
turned to the United States, where Ir
rigation on the broadest lines has

New York (Special). The dona

$10,000,000 to the Carnegie Institu
tion of Washington by Andrew Car
negie, the founder, was announced
Friday. This brings Mr. Carnegie's
gifts to the institution up to a total
of $25,000,000.
Coupled with the formal announce
ment was a declaration by Mr. Car
negie that the work of the Institu
tion had cleared from blame the cap
tain of a Hritish ship who ran his ves
sel upon the rocks by proving that
the Hritish Admiralty charts, by
which the captain was guided, were

The discovery of 60,000 nc
worlds by Professor Hale at the ob

servatory was established by the In
stitution, and its operations and dis
coveries afTord Mr. Carnegie more de
light, perhaps, than any other work
ings of the Institution.
Mr. Carnegie also announced that
a far more powerful telescope than
man has ever made is now under con
struction for the Mount Wilson Ob
servatory. With it he hopes to make
possible the discovery of still more
celestial bodies.
In confirming a report of the en
dowment, Mr. Carnegie said:
"The report is correct. They had
a large endowment before and $10,
000,000 makeB the total of their en
dowment $25,000,000, but the insti
tution has already scored successes
to justify even that sum. I believe
that the Institution In research will
