The Proposed Saharan Sea.

The Proposed Saharau sea.
With reference to the daring French
project for flooding the desert of Sa-
hara with what would be virtually
new sea, it may I've we'll, says e 'gin
eertng. to recall the opinion expressed
bv nj. Elisce Rec]us. that at one
period in the worlds history the
desert WAS covered by a sea very
similar to the Mediterranean, and
that this sea exercised very great
influence upon the temperature Of
Franco, as comparatively col1-or at
any rate cool-winds blew over it.
while now the winds which prevail in
the great expanse are OF a much high
er temperature. and are, in fact.
sometimes suffocating hot. The
appearance of the desert seems to
support the theory ofM. Elisee Reclas
that it was at one time the bed Of q
sca of considerable extent, Of which
the great inland African lakes recently
discovered are possibly the remains.
The present vast extent and
confguration of the African continent
would also appear to support the
conclusion that at one time it
comprised less ares o: land than it
does 1T present. The serious qnee-
tion which arises, assuming tlat the
theory of NJ. Elisee RecIus it
substantially correct, is, What will
be the effect ofthc creation ofa second
African sea in the room Of that which
has disappeared? WouM the tenn
peraturc Of France, and possibly even
of England, be again re''uced3 1t is
r geological theory that in the glacial
period of the worlds history Great
Britain was covered with iceand snow
vary much as Greenland is at present.
Some great influences must clearly
have been brought to bear upon
France and Great Britain, which
rolled tlre1ce over 80 many hundred
miles northward. What was this in.
.tfuence? Was it the large African
sea which Frenchenterprise is endeav.
oring torscreate? Fit were, we should
say that whatever the Frence may
|gain IN Africa by the realization O
Ia Sallaran Sea would be much more
/ than count rbalanced by what they
would lose in France itself.-Sciea.i

"The canned goods trade is peculiar
trade. Sometimes there are seasons of
plenty when goods can be packed cheap
1y and of the best quality, while perhaps
the next season would be one of scarcity
and the product would not be as good in
quality while the cost would be greatly
enhanced. Again the consumption
fuctuates largely. Dealers find by ex-
perien ce that some seasons they will
have to carry over very many more
goods than Others, and to say that goods
which are perfectly wholesome which
have been on hand certain length of
time shall not be sold, or that they shall
be subjected to the stigma of an old date.

tice which the United States Govern

The Knowing Dog OF Port JervIs.

Mr.. S. o. Dimmick, of Port Jervis, is
the owner ola large st. Bernard dog.
He is young and playful as kitten-so
much so that he is sometimes trouble
some in his antics. Early in the winter
he made himself troublesome when the
servant was hanging up the clothes on
Monday wash day. by pulling at them
and annoying her by his playful pranks.
Finally, to save herself from further an
noyance, every Monday morning the
girl would tie the dog up, releasing him
after all the work was done. He resent
ed being tied up very much, but stood il
for several weeks. One Monday morn
ing, when the girl went to tie him up,
the dog could not be found. As soon as
the washing was out Of the way he APP
peared on the scene. On the following
Monday he again disappeared, ard this
practice he kept up. On Monday Of last
week he disappeared as usual, and later
in the day, about the time for hanging
ND the clothes, the dog came to the
clothes-line and placed on the ground a
basket of clothes-pins. He seemed TO

and had done it to curry favor-to bride

the work clipped l50 heads in five hours.
I've cut 80 heads in day myself with
only scissors. They were convicts. The
clippers used to cost S.. Now we get
them for $3.50. 1t takes about fifteen
minutes to cut hair as I'm cutting yours
and about the same length of time to
shave an ordinary face and dress the
hair. Journeymen barbars own their
own razors, but few of them know how
to keep razors in order. They send
them to the grinders abo.t once a week.
The boss furnishes everything but the
razors. BARRIERS are paid Sc to $13 week.
A week is 6 days and half a day Sunday.

CANNED GOODS PACKERS.
Why they Oppose the Bill Requiring the
Date of Packing to be stamped On the
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
A dispatch from Baltimore was pub
lished yesterday saying that packers Of
canned goods in that city were protest
ing against the passage of a bill now be-
fore the New York Assembly requiring
the date of packing to be stamped upon
every can of goods sold. A reporter Of
the Tribune visited several of the deal
ers in this city who are largely interest
ed in canned goods to get their opinions
in regard to the bill. Alexander Wiley,
who is at the head of the canned goods
department of H. K. & F. b. Thurber,
said:
'The Baltimore packers have good rea-
son to protest. Their New York Dreth-
rem are taking every possible step to de-
feat the bill. That measure will destroy
large and important branch of indus
try, if it becomes a law. The Canned
Goods Committee of the New York Mer-
camille Exchange has prepared memo
rial to the Legislature on the subject"

No. 146 Reade street, is Chairman ofthe
Canned Goods Committee of the Mercan'
tile Exchange. He approved Mr.. WI
ley's opinions, and said:
I have Just received a telegram an
nouncing that through our efforts the
hill has been recommitted for hearing
which will take place next Wednesday
| I will appear before the committee hav
| Ing the bill in charge, and will be able
to show that the bill is not only unnecee
sary. but that it is unjust and unconsti
tutional. Packers of canned goods from
all parts of the State will give their ties
timony at the hearing. We have sue
| ceeded in having stricken out the claus,
ORIGINALLY in the bill making it unlawful
to sell goods that have been more than ,
wear in cane. The measure is unjust d
hackers outside of New York who de
pend largely upon this State for mar
ket, and 1t dIscriminates against packer
in this State who send goods to othe
markets. For Baltimore packers cal
put unstamped goods on the Chicag
market and get full price for them eve
when tney are four or five years ole
while New York goods will show on tn
cans that they have been packed one
two years, as the case may be, and 8
