The Pitch Lake of Trinidad.

| visited the so-called Pitch Lake,
Trinidad, September 30, 1882, landing
per steamer at La Brea, on the west
south of the port of Port-of-Spain. The
lake in question is situated about une
and one-half miles from the shore.
There is gentle ascent Of one hundred
and forty feet from the shore to the lake.
The name s'lake' is misnomer. if we
understand by the term cavity con-
tanning liquid. The contents of this
cavity, or supposed cavity, is a con-
crete, slightly flexible mass of pitch; it
is level plain on which bushes and
patches of vegetable formations and
poolsN water are seen here and there
over the surface. There is no difficulty
in walking or wading over it from end
to end. or from side to side The shape
of this plain is sort of ellipse or ovoid.
The water in the pools is rain-water,
having a slight iron taste, Arriving on
the plateau found, first, number of
chestnut-colored females washing and
bleaching linen, and in other parts a
number of two-wheeled darts, drawn
each by q single horse, in the act of be-
ing loaded with pitch. Scattered here
and there over the surface were to be
seen dark, yellow-brown colored men
with pickaxes digging out large clods
of pitch, which boys gathered out from
the pit and piled up for the carriers.
The pitch at almost every blow
of the pickax broke off with resinous
fracture quite easily. Each lump Of
pitch exhibited air cavities of the size o,
q pigeons egg, larger or smaller.
was informed by the diggers that they
never dig deep enough TO find the pitch
soft and plastic; but they asserted that
in the course of couple of days the
cavity which they had dug would be
again level with the surrounding plain.
This assertion, think, must be taken
with considerable reservation. This
pitch deposit, imagine, like any other
mineral deposit will become entirely
exhausted in the course Of time, re-
sembling in this respect our oil wells in
Pennsylvania. But il will take long
time to do this, for the area of this visi-
BILE deposit is about 100 acres, which is
equivalent to 4, 800, 600 feet, and 4, $780,
900 feet surface and one foot deep will
give the same number of cubic feet.
Now, allowing the weight of one cubic
foot OF pitch to be sixty pounds Ct is
really more), we shall get by computa-
I ton pol $3.50. 900 pounds, which number
divided by 2,2s0 gives 1865 tons for
the weight OF single layer Of pitch on
Pitch Lake one foot deep. How deep
this pitch deposit is absolutely is not yet
known with accuracy, or even approxi-
mstely. = United States Consul 7oDisr's

No allusion was made at that time to
what had occurred, but after some days,
in answer TO her questions, she was
gradually permitted to learn the whole
truth. OF the sudden fright, however,
she remembered nothing. The last
thing her memory recalled in connec-
ton with that terrible affair was an in
cident that occurred about four hours
previous 10 that event, when her father,
as she said, came in and told her that
the train was behind time, having
been due for an hour. All after that
was blank, tho terrible shock having,
by some strange law of the mind, re-
nected backward, so as to wipe out en-
tirely the recollection OF what had oc-
curved in those four preceding hours.
She referred, however. occasionally
to having heard Frank singing in tho
adjoining rooms, and wondering why
he did not come in where she was.
This had seemed, however, more like a
dream than reality.
Her recovery was rapid. Although
possessed Of a highly wrought nervous

Mr.. Beck, and, making due allowance for the
space which would be required for the publ
cation ofthe information called for concerning
each case, it is not unreasonable to esti-
mate that it would take at least three
lines, agate measurement for each case
or 1,766,57 lines in all. Advertising rates
vary so greatly, of course-ranging from
forty cents a line, in the case of metropoli-
tan dailies to ten cents line, charged
by country weellies and the stipula-
tons concerning the number of papers in
which the publication is to be made,
depending upon the population of the town
or city, are so vague that it is impossible to
make any accurate calculation as to the an
nual cost-for, remember, the list is to be
advertised once year-of this publication,
but our readers can see for themselves that
it would be something enormous.

The states That Are To He.

It is unfortunate, to say the least, that
the admission of new States and the creation
Of new Territories should be made ques-
ton of political control. The men who have
tanned the wilderness and developed its
virgin resources deserve better treatment of
the hands of Congress. The whole country
is concerned in the opening up of our North
western possessions, and party interests
ought not to have precedence over those Of
the Nation.
The failure of the movement to secure the
admission of Washington and Dakota Ter
ritories into the Union, and the recent
refusal of the House to even consider the
question of dividing Dakota into two Terri
tories, are the practical results of an OBJ
structive policy which, if persisted in, must
inevitably retard the growth and check the
progress of section of country upon the
development of which the future prosperity
of the country very largely depends. Aug
mented as our natural increase of population
is by yearly immigration of nearly 100000
souls, it does not require the aid of prophecy
to foresee what would occur if any obstacle
to a corresponding extension of our food
producing area should arise. Unprecedent-
edly rapid as the spread of civilization in
the far West has been, the growth of our
population is still more phenomenal; and it
worthy of remark that English statisticians
have already begun to calculate how long it
will be before the conditions of life in the
United States viii be reduced to the same
wretched scale that obtains abroad
1t is manifestly to the interest of the Ma
ton, therefore, that territorial development
should bestimulated rather than discouraged.
Instead of withholding from the citizens of
Dakota or Washington Territory the privi-
leges arising from separate State govern
ment, the policy of Congress should be to be-
stow them at the earliest moment practicable.
When one considers that in the Territory of
Dakota, for instance, there is a population of
100000, and that in the northern portion
alone the wheat acreage last year reached
total of 444,325 acres, it seems scarcely short
of crime to longer refuse its citizens repre-
sentation in Congress and deny them the
benefits of q State government.
1t is no justification to say that a popu-
lous State like New York should not be bal
anced in the Senate by one Of comparatively
small population. No harm has ever come
to the Republic in the past from this inevi
table result of the creation of new States,
and we may be sure that those who are de-
nouncing the proposition to admit the Ter
ritory of Dakota to place in the Union as a
scheme to give the Republican party major
ity in the next Electoral College, would not
hesitate to support it did it promise to in
crease the chances of Democratic supremacy.
1t is shameful that the interests of the great
Northwest should thus be subordinated to
the interests of politicians.

Rribiug the Press

1t is, after ALL not very strange that I'M
scrupulous newspapers should clamor for the
publication of the Pension list, as proposed
by Senator Beck, when it is taken into &C
count that such publication would be di-
rect pecuniary benefit to them. Mr.. Beck's
scheme provides for advertising the lists,
first, in at least one newspaper in each
county; second, in two newspapers in
every county containing town of 10000
inhabitants and third, in three newspapers
in each city of $4,000 inhabitants, publica-
ton in all cases to be made at least once a
year. Nor are the lists simply to contain
the names; in addition it must be stated
whether the pensioners or claimants claim
to be invalids, widows, minor children, de-
pendant relatives, or survivors or widows of
the war of 1912; the amount of pension
now paid to and claimed by each, and the
total amount heretofore paid to all of which
a request is to be appended from the Com
missioner of Pensions calling for information
as 10 the justice of said claims and stating
that communications on the subject may be
sent to him free of postage. Now, on the
1st of December last, according to Commits
sioner Dudley's recent showing, there we're

A Suggestive Incident.

The coroner of New York, having been
called upon to investigate the circumstances
attending the death of patient in one of
the city hospitals, last week, saw fit to sum-
mon number of prominent citizens among
them being General Grant, ex-senator Conk-
Mng, William H. Vanderbilt, and Jay
Gould-as jurymen. Such a procedure
ought to have occasioned no remark, mas
much as the duties of citizenship are the
same in all cases, but, as matter of fact, it
made a tremendous sensation, and much
public curiosity was manifested as to
whether the gentlemen summoned would
serve. The newspapers, of course, made the
most of the subject, and related, with great
particularly, how, with one accord, they be-
gan to make excuse. Jay Gould, for instance,
alleged that he was suffering from facial
neuralgia, Mr.. Vanderbilt also produced
physicians certificate, General Grant replied
that he was sitting on the Mexican Commits
sion, and MIR. Conkllng was nowhere to be
found. So the attempt to secure a jury of
distinguished citizens failed, and the cor
oner had to fall back on his usual supply. of
commonplace mortals.
Now, the public interests, we dare say,
suffered no loss thereby, but it is not a
little curions that the first effort made in
many years, so for as we know, to secure the
best class of citizens for jury service should
have had such an impotent result, and it
suggests the query whether after all it is not
the eminently respectable rather than the
low and vicious element in American COM
munities which is to blame for the inefficient
manner in which public duties are fire.

Tie Telegraph Monopoly.

It is the habit of the Demonstration when
its prey is of unusual size to crush it in
its powerful coils and then thickly coat it
with its own saliva, in order to facilitate the
process of swallowing it. Forsome time past
the Western Union telegraph monopoly has
been subjecting the Mutual Union TO asimi-
lar treatment, and with such success that it
has at last been able to gulp it down whole.
Elsewhere in our columns this week will be
found the full particulars of this remark
able feat, and we commend our readers to
study them attentively. The effect of this
,dbsoFbtion of the Mutual Union by the
Western Union will be to increase the tolls
which the public are compelled to pay to
the latter, for the transaction involves an
addition of fifteen millions to its watered
stock upon which dividends must be earned,
and as the Western Union is now virtually
rid of all competition, it can fix its tariff to
suit itself The public is at its mercy.
Ii the emu, however, Wuat HIS inc appear
ance of a public calamity may turn out a
public blessing. 1t may hasten the estab
ment of a postal telegraph system in this
country similar to that which has been
operated with such beneicent results in
Great Britain, and thus paralyze the power
of the present telegraph. monopoly. 1t is
not in the nature of things that the bust
ness public should quietly submit to the ex-
tortion which the necessity of earning divi-
dends on one hundred millions of stock,
representing only twenty millions of actual
property, compels the Western Union to
practice upon its patrons, and the demand
for Congressional relief will eventually be-
come too general to be ignored. When that
time arrives the Western Union will doubt
less be eager to sell out to the Government,
but it is pretty safe to predict that no Con-
gress, however friendly to monopoly, will
dare to sanction such purchase as that.
