Les Angeles.
Extract from a letter of q former resident of
New Haven.

New Haven't
Perhaps you would be pleased with q pen
picture of Los Angeles Starting from New
hall on the north side of the San Fernando
mountains, and passing through tunnel in
that range two miles long, we emerge upon
the valley of that name, and to say it is a
beautiful picture is faint expression. As
far as the eye can reach east west and south
is one mass of rolling wheat lands. The lof-
ty range, studded at its base with splendid
villas where reside the owners of the adjoin-
ing prairie. Way off in the south can be
seen the outlines of the Santa Monica noun
tains beautifully covered with dark green
trees, and also nesting some picturesque lit
tie cottages at its foot hills, forming lovely
margin to the golden grain fields. Occasion
ally, like an oasis in the desert, you see q
small grove of trees, usually the eucalyptus
or the Australian gum tree, and as they nod
their tall branches to and fro in the wind
you catch glimpse of small white house
snugly slowed away in the center. As we
near the Santa Monica range, OF to the left
we commence to see the groves of fruit trees
and vineyards, the houses all having wind
mills with few exceptions for irrigation.
Winding around the base of the Santa Moni-
stream and harmless excspt in heavy rains
when it rises to great height and year or
so ago swept away several dwellings, causing
considerable damage. It is large enough,
however, to add to the beauty of the sur
roundings, and it ripples laughingly along over
its pebbly bed it makes quite an enchanting,
fairy-ike picture.
Now we are in full view of the "City of
the Angels" and it was certainly well-named,
for, as for climate, soil, and all natural ad-
vantages, it is certainly garden of Eden;Eut
as for it's now being the abode of any of the
winged ones, alas, they must have fled upon

A curiosity near Beflaifee, Ohio; IL sttrsct=
ing considerable attention. Several years
ago the land near Wallace Run was drilled
for oil. The oil was not found, but light
flow of salt water was obtained. The field
vas abandoned and forgotten. The operators
were not aware that with fhs sat wster they
struck vein of natural gas. Some time last
fall hunter accidentally lighted the gas in
one of tho wells, and it has continued to
burn ever since with q flame six or eight feet
high. The salt water bubbles over the top
of the well, which is foot or 30 below the
surface of the ground, forming a little pool
with two or three feet of surface. On this
surface the flames burn, seeming to come
from the water.
The city Of Mexico is slowly sinking into
Lake Texcoco, and 1t is thought thst it viii
thing is DONE Humboldt's measurements
taken early in this century gave the lake
q depth of sixteen feet ten inches, and
now it is nowhere more than six feet eight
inches, while careful observations in the last
twenty years show that the bottom of the
lake has risen uniformly one and one-half
inches year and is now but nine feet below
the level of the principal streets of the city.
This seriously impedes drainage, the fall of
the sewers being too slight to produce prop
er flow of refuse matter even in dry weather,
while in the rainy season, when the streets
are sometimes flooded from the lake, it is
completely checked. The ground on which
the city stands is therefore saturated to with
IN two or three feet Of the surface with de-
caying matter, poisonous gases rise and thou
sands die yearly from malarial and malignant
fevers.
Some interesting opinions on the preserva-
ton of the Adirondack forests ate expressed
in Outing. E. P. Roe says that those who
have the interests of the State at heart
should not neglect the plain and imperative
duty of preserving large tracts of woodland
as reservoirs of moisture; Francis A. Walk
er's judgment is that the State of New York
could better afford to let its great city be
burned fiat to the ground than to let the Ad
irondack hills be stripped of their cover
ings. John Burroughs has read in Herodo-
tus thet the ancient Persisns held rivers in
such venefati0n that they would not even
wash IN them OF spit in them for fear of cor
rupting them. 1--WE not only empty all our
of f1th in them," he adds, ''but
we throttle them, cut them off in their
sources by stripping the land of its forest
covering" Frederick Law Olmstead argues
that the adoption of the measure will be a
step in civilization for which the time is ripe

of the land of timber is a sure way to invite
barbarism, unthriftiness and every element
that belongs to 1aggard people. Charles

year what we are now
doing in these goods.
We want to do in
this department five
times as much business
as in the past.
We want to do some
thing to make every la
dy in New Haven think
of our store the moment
she thinks of white un-
derwear.
We want to spend
some money on this
thing: We know that
if you begin to come
to us you will con-
tinue to come, chiefly on
account of the quality
Of the qOork. There
fore we believe it will
ultimately pay us to
spend some money in
selling the goods too
cheap for a while.
But don't think we
are selling goods too
cheap now to make-it up
later by charging too
much. You will never
have to pay more for
anything in our store
than you can buy it for
elsewhere if we know
it.
But this time we are
going to make these
goods SO very cheap
that you can't but be
struck with it.
And the work is all
good, honest. well-hn-
ished work, no slop-
work, such as ready-|
made underwear used
to be, and still is in some
places. The prejudice
against ready-made gar
ments is largely due to
the fact that the makers
have hitherto aimed
mainly at cheapness, or
rather at low prices,
than at excellence. Now
we can offer garments
SO solldly made and SO
neatly finished that any
lady may feel satisfied
to see them in her
wardrobe.
Everything, you will
find, is cheaper than you
would expect it to be i
and quite a number of
things you will find so
extraordinarily low in
price that you will be
puzzled to know how it
can possibly be done.
We begin the line
with corset c0vers at
1oc each, chemzseS at
II PC each, skirts and

WAR on THE NORMAL SCHOOLS.

There is an evident disposition or
the part of the present legislature to
abolish the three state normal schools
of Missouri. 1t is argued by the lead
ers in this movement that the schools
are complete failure in their opera
ton, inasmuch as it seems impossible
to obligate the normal pupils to teach
any length of time in the public schools.
An exception is made in favor of the
Kirksville normal. which appears to
have conducted its affairs with much
more precision than the normals at
Warrensburg and at Cape Gnardeau,
but the fact Is overlooked that the lat
ter are young and have not received
appropriations equal to the former.
1t win surprise many persons to learn,
however, that the democratic party has
f3r 4S years been opposed to normal
schools, and has on frequent occasions
made sush opposi ion a party measure
The normal school system was "a YAM
kee notion" to begin with. Away back
