CARR THE MKT APP8TxFEE.
In the year ISIS Mr. Prosch resigned
and o. J. Carr vas appointed post
master. Carr held the Office eight
years, carrying on the business al the
old s'and-the wretched little wooden
structure on the north side Of Mil
street that defaces one side OF the
PosT-isTELLIGEscKR building. These
were years Of growth and progress for
Seattle, and with the town, OF course.
the business OF the posto;fice steadily
increased. Tbs receipts from sales Of
stamps, envelopes and wrappers went
up from 500 year TO $500. and the
Iock-bores swelled in number from
I'D to 500. The clerical force also in
creased from two TO three, then to
four, and later to five persons. at which
number i stood when Mr.. Carr gave
place TO Mr. Lyon.
POsTMAaTER LYox.
The administration Of the postoffiee
under Mr. Lyon is matter Of such
recent and familiar history as TO re-
quire no extended space in this article.
The enormous increase in business.
the poor quarters, inadequate equip
ment, insufficient force and the
wretched service that was consequently
rendered TO the patrons of the office.
the employment OF additional clerks
by voluntary subscription fron the
business men Of Seattle, are all known
to every resident OF this city. Mr..
Lyon has struggled with the difficult
ties as best he could, and the pressure
has been measGrably relieved only
by the reluctant and tardy action Of
government whose administration of
the postofiiee department, particularly
in Washington Territory, has been no
| toriously incompetent. The force has
finally been so increased and the ia
cilities 50 improved that satisfactory
| service can now be anticipated.

IN MEMORY OF MISS DENNY.
Generous Gift by Her Parents to
the Denny school.


As Prof. Jones. principal of the
Denny school. was about to leave the
scene of his days labors, yesterday
afternoon, a team drove up to the

said was addressed 10 Prof. Jones, was
unloaded. The box was carried inside
and unpacked and the sight Of hand
some upright piano, OF the Knabe
make. from the music house Of Low
man & Hanford. was revealed.
Though the FIRST remem brance OF the
reason OF the gift caused shade oi
sadness to pass over the faces of prin-
cipal, teachers and pupils, all were
ready with words OF COMMUNICATION
for the kindly act of generosity.

Grow Bull.Frogs for Market.

ST.. LOUIS, April There is a town
in Arkansas called Atlanta, at least there
is post Office by that name, and some
houses are scattered promiscuously
through the miry vicinity. Atlanta nes-
ties snugly in the midst of charming
swamp, where snakes and toads are wont
to congregate, and where such thing as
soil bears the same relation to reality
that an algebraic equation bears to q
known quantity. The inhabitants doubt
not but what there is soil under Atlanta,
but the trouble is to get beneath the
superficial stratum of swamp and reach
the great depth at which it is supposed
soil might be found. The Arkansas
agent of the Ealy Mercantile company,
was asked to send in a report on Atlanta.
He has just sent it, and in it he brings to
light new industry. The swamp being
unsuited to the growing of grain, the
inhabitants have suited themselves to
the circumstances, and now grow bull.
frogs for the market. They have excel
lent seed, and the growths have been
magnificent until last year, when the
whole crop hoped away before it was
ripe. This was very discouraging, but
when the time came another crop was
put in, and at last reports it was doing
we'll, though there are indications that
the precedent set by the last crop may be
followed this year, as several of the more
mature frogs have begun peregrinating
about the swamps already. When the
yield does not take unto itself legs and
hop away it is sold. Ealy's agent is
endeavoring to make a contract for one
thousand bushel of frogs to be delivered
out of the first crop that can be detained
until it thoroughly ripens.

VIII iron Mines be Abandoned Z

II was talking with Mr.. Chamberlain
the other day." said Judge Tompkins,
"who is practical man of our coal and
iron company. He made startling
suggestion. Said he, "the time may
come when all the iron mines of this
country will be abandoned. The most
generally difused metal on earth is
aluminium. It is found almost invariably
in clay, especially in red clay. It is
now extracted from clay by a very expen.
sive and tedious process, at a cost of
more than five hundred dollars ton.
Some one will invent process for get
ting aluminium out of clay by rapid
and cheap process. Then farewell to
iron mines.'" =,
"I asked him what was the value of
aluminium"
"He replied that it has thr ;e times the
strength of steel, and only one-third its
weight. This makes it, of course, the
most valuable of metals. 1t was only
discovered in 1928. It is bright, and it
never furnishes. Louis Napoleon offered
six thousand dollars for a process for
extracting it from clay, and two small
bars of aluminium were presented to him
by q French chemist as the result. 1t
was enormously expensive, but Napoleon
had works established for extracting it,
and he used it as substitute for the
silver eagles that were borne above the
armies of France. It has all the beauty
of silver, is more lasting, stainless, and
has only one.fourth the weight of silver.
The eagles of France are thus made more
resplendent, more enduring, and seventy.
five per cent lighter in weight. You look
out for aluminium. Some one will yet
invent process for digging up common
dirt and extracting therefrom this best Of
all metal."-Atlanta Constitution.

Colonel Higginson says in Rarper's
Bazar that when he "was planning in the
autumn of 1861 to enlist a regiment for
the civil war, it occurred to him to invite
the celebrated John B. Gough to 60 as
chaplain, since his personal magnetism
and eloquence, although he was not a
clergyman, would be felt through the
whole union army. On inquiry it turned
out that Mr.. Cough was absolutely
fettered by his own large earnings and
profuse charities; he could easily. earn
$50 or $100 a day the year round by
lecturing; but oil this large income was
mortgaged in advance to young men
whom he was educating and poor families
whom he was supporting, 80 that he
absolutely could not afford to stop work
for a moment. Had he been poorer, he
could have gone"
For the first time in its history,
Africa will figure in an international
exposition next year. France intends to
set apart a considerable space in the
coming Worlds Fair to the great region
in the western Soudan which it has occu.
pied. The work of collecting the pro.
ducts of the country is already we'll
advanced, and it is proposed to transport
an entire African village to the grounds
of the Exposition, where the natives will
be shown engaged in their usual occupa.
tions and industries. 1t might not be a
bad idea for America to send over o
village or two, just to show how the
original African has been improved by
transplanting.
