The man who thinks to preserve for till time ln men's momorlos any event by writ ing a book about it Is usually mistaken; both the event and tho book may all the same be forgotten, bat really thero is an opportunity for some one to gather In a bandy volume the story -of A. D. 1891 In Kansas. Such a volume would contain as lto first chapter the weather record kept at the) state university and for the twenty-two years last past associated with the namo of professor, now Chancellor Snow. These figures, worth more than all the unrecorded recollections of all the sky-gazers and local weather prophets ln the state should form the basis of the history, and would have a permanent value.

Those tri-daily Observations would show just how muels rain Kansas can receive to advantage; how much water, in fact, Kansas needs in her business which Is agriculture. Following the account of the rain and the sun which did the business in 1891, should come an account of the various productions of the state for tho year, made clear even to people who have no taste or capacity for figures. Here, by the vray, is A chance for the development of a flow kind of literary gonius. Here are people thousands of them, to whom "tables," census or otherwise, convey no information or even suggestion no more than a rainbow reveals of beauty to a blind man. Thore are human beings of fair intelligence who are paralyzed by the words "per cent." For the benefit of sucb, a writer should be raised up who can use figures without placing them in columns and who will require the calculations of no percentages who can make figures not only intelligible but attractive.

Following the figures ln this Kansas year book should come several chapters of descriptive writing conveying to tho reader as far as printed words can do so idea of how Kansas looked in the growing season of ISOt This would be a difficult task, but there are a half dozon writers in the United States who are equal to it. Miss Murfreo, who makes a glorious and beautiful thing out of a little Tennessee mountain cornfield by moonlight, might well try her hand on a Kansas cornfield of 1801, washed by the rain and shining In the sun and spreading over the area of a Tennessee county. The narrative should tell how the rain came in 1991, where it had not fallen in years, If, indeed, it had ever fallen; and made merry with the Irrigation scheme and said, "Never you mind I will attend to Kansas." The chronicler of 1891 should tell of the full streams' and the new-come springs and the general uprising and meeting of the waters. Mention should be made of the trees, orchard trees first, and then of oil the trees. How all the saplings planted In faith on one Arbor day after another justified their planters and grew mightily and prevailed and waved green encouragement to future planters that some day every spare and wasted place ln Kansas might bear trees and every hot highway be made a long arcade of shade.

The annals of Kansas earth in 1891 should speak of the pleasant gardens with arbors, and the little bits of poor men's ground that produced as never before and taught the lesson that no spot however small should in such a country be left neglected. Nor should there be failure to mention the great triumph of science In the year; when laboratory and fiold come together; like cured like, and chinch bug destroyed chinch bug. Noble L.
