BALTIMORE. Nov. 2.-To-day's election
in this city shows large falling off from
the presidential vote two years ago. The
vote of the entire city was then 60. 335.
while to-day it was only IS, 517. Many Re-
publicans refrained from voting, because
they had no regular candidates. The re-
turns received from the districts out of the
city indicated the election of Charles E.
Gibson, Dem, in the First district, DR..
Frank T. Shaw, Dem. in the Second, Barnes
Compton, Dem, in the Fifth and Louis
E. McComas. Rep. in the Sixth. This
will leave the Maryland delegation the same
as IN the present congress and except in the
city of Baltimore all the members are re-
elected. The reelection of Mr.. McCOmas
will be by reduced majority.

How Deep Can the Ground Freeze
Western Tobacco Journal.

Western Tobacco Journal.
Scientific men have been perplexed
for many years over the phenomenon
of a certain well at Yakutsk, Siberia.
A Russian merchant in 1928 began to
dig the well, but he gave up the task
three years later, when he had dug
down 50 feet and was still in solidly
frozen soil. Then the Russian Acade-
my of Sciences dug away at the well
for months, but stopped when it had
reached a depth of 387 feet, when the
ground was still frozen as hard as a
rock. In 1874 the academy had the
temperature of the excavation careful
ly taken at various depths, from these
data it was estimated that the ground
was frozen to a depth of 6l2 feet. AL
though the pole of the greatest cold
is in the province of Yakutsk, not
even the terrible severity of the Sibe-
rian winters could freeze the ground
to a depth of600 feet. Biologists have
decided that the frozen valley of the
lower Lena is a formation of the
glacial period. They believe, in
short, that it froze solidly then, and
has never since had a chance to thaW
out.

The Travellers Tree.

This tree is abundant in Madagas-
car and arises from the ground with
thick, succulent stem. Long, broad
leaves grow from opposite sides of the
stalk, so that the tree looks like a
huge green, open fan. During the
NEST arid season the tree contains a
large quantity of pure fresh water,
supplying to the traveller the place OF
wells in the desert. SOabundant and
pure is the water that the natives will
not take the trouble to go to a spring
or well, but draw off and drink the
the fluid of this tree. A thrust of the
spear into the thick, firm end of the

pets, even when they are fixed upon
the floor, which, in our estimation,
they never ought to be. 1t is impos-
sible to wash we'll all around them,
to remove the dust from the corners
of the room, andeven under the edges
of the rug itself.
But such a condition of affairs is
still far from satisfactory. There is
always more or less dirt about sta
tionary carpet, in any room that is
much lived in, and the best house
maids in the world cannot rid an i'm
movable rug of dust as readily on the
floor as they could off it.
Carpets ought, as matter of health,
to be taken up once week, laid over
a line and thoroughly beaten. But
where is the household where this
rule is enforced?
The growing conviction of the SUI
periority Of rugs to carpets, is shown
in the newest houses, in many of
which the floors are expressly ar
ranged with stained borders, par
quet flooring, which it is possible to
leave entirely uncovered.
What a boon this is to persons of
small means! Nothing eats into a
small sum of money for house-fur-
nishing more disastrously than a car
pet. 1t is useless to buy cheap one;
cheap carpets are never of any use,
and the price of a good one is for
midable consideration. This is an
other argument in favor of rugs
cheap rugs wear great deal better
than cheap carpets, for the obvious
reason that they are not pulled and
strained in every direction, and are
only subjected to legitimate wear and
tear.

for some time past and recently was caught
in the act of embeZzling money from his en-
ployer. Two farmers. neighbors, it seems,
purchased coal of him and in his scheme to
rob, charged one more than the other In CON-
parn prices they learned of the discrepancy
and the one who had paid the most went to the
proprietor in pet and asked him why one
man should be charged more than another for
fuel This led to an investigation and the
discovery that the young man had defrauded
the owner of the establishment Other in
stances turned up where the clerk had appro-
priated money to his own use, endeavoring to
cover up his tracks. Several times he sold
coal and omitted to make any account of it
on the books, pocketing the money received
At other time. he would sell fuel and charge
the purchaser for more than he received and
on the books it would appear less than the
actual amount sold. The money received for
the difference between the two fic-
ticious amounts would be appropriated.
1t has been noticed that the young man was
rather more flush with money than the small
salary he received would allow. Being a
married man, he rented house and lived IN
an approved style, hiring many teams. max
ing presents of gold watches and INDUCING
in numerous Injuries. No legal action has
been taken against the young man for his
misdemeanur.

This has been one Of the best seasons for
entertainments, hall shows, fairs, dances,
balls etc., that the city has ever seen. What
Is very noticeable is the fact that they have, as
rule, been we'll patronized. There will be
hve balls in the city this month, held at the
different halls. One reason for this increase
of amusements is that skating Kinks have
gone out of fashion. People who formerly
spent their money at these places now expend
it for another class of amusements such as
we have referred to above.
