SIDEWALKS NOT OF BRICK.
Commissioner Robert Thinks That the
District Ought to Pay Part of the Cost.


During the present fiscal year about $4,000
VIII be expended in laying sidewalks under the
permit system. Heretofore when person de-
cided to lay sidewalk he applied to the Com
missioners to do the work under the provisions
OF the permit system, which provides that the
District shall pay one-haH OF the cost, the other
mali being charged to the applicant. This was
only in cases where the regular old brick side
walk was to be laid. When person desired to
lay more expensive pavement he was obliged
to pay the entire cost There were few excep-
lions to this rule, however, but they we're not
numerous. Capt. Rossen held that when party
desired to improve the side walk in front of his
premises by sidewalk Of a higher class than
the old brick variety he should be encouraged
ana the District assume part, at least. of the
cost Some time ago the Commissioners adver-
tlsed for proposals for laying sidewalks with
view OF getting list Of the several varieties of
pavement. 30 that person who did not desire
10 lay the old brick walk could select from the
ones approved by the Commissioners, and
winch they were willing to pay a portion OF the
cost OF laying. In this connection Col. Robert
submitted the following memorandum to the
commissioners today:
COL. ROBERTS IDEA.
ut having been intimated that brick side
walks are to be adopted as the standard side
walk and the only one of which the District is
willing to pay one-half the cost, and that
parties wishing a more expensive pavement
shall bear the greater portion of the nee
essary cost over the standard pavement. it is
suggested that the extra portion to be paid by
the District for the more expensive sidewalk
be fixed at one-third the increased cost over
the cost Of brick sidewalks and that the re-
mander be borne by the party requesting the
work, as follows:

For the Good Of NOn-Smokers.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily News
Pursuing its campaign the Society Against
the Abuse Of Tobacco has just requested the
minister Of public works to insist on the rail-
way companies providing Q sufficient number
OF carriages Of all classes on every train for
the behoof Of votaries of the fragrant weed
the word "fumsurs' being painted on each Of
their doors Smokers are hardly likely to
grumble at what would seem, at first sight a
very polite attention on the part OF the society
which would appear to be bent on facilitating
their enjoyment Of a cigar or cigarette, to say
nothing of a quiet pipe, by every means in its
power. As a matter Of fact. however, the anti
tooacconsts have only adopted this course
with q view to the comfort Of non-smokers.
They lay particular stress in their petition on
the misery endured by the director of an
orphsnage, who was travelling with some OF the
children IN third-class compartment Despite
all his exhortations and remonstrances some
men who were his fellow passengers persisted
In smoking, to the grest discomfort of the
worthy gentleman and possibly some of the
Juveniles whom he had under his wing. In
any case the adventure got to the ears Of the
society, which seems inclined to make the most
OF it This, however, IA rather an isolated ex-
perience. At any rate smokers will have no
objection 70 offer to this suggestion, and il its
adoption increases the general comfort Of the
public at large the society will not have
Petitioned in vain.

BRIDGING BEHRlNG STRAIT,
Ex-Gov. Gilpin Unfolds His Project for
Colossal Railroad.

Ex-Gov. Gilpin OF Colorado and party have
just left Victoria, B. c., for Alaska. Gov
Gilpin Is now developing the railway project
for the construction of a line through America
and across Behring straits, into Siberia, thence
through Asia and Europe to the eastern shore Of
the Atlantic. He says that the transcontinental
lines now established and reaching into north
ern Oregon constitute the first American di-
vision of the proposed railroad. The plateaus
and valleys along the base of the Rocky noun
tains offer a natural route through Alaska to
Behring strait. Bridging the strait the line
would cross over into Siberia, and thence rum
ming in southwesterly direction connect with
the lines of railway now under construction to
give the Russian government an outlet to the
sea at the mouth OF the river Amoor.
From this point OF connection south and
west the lines would project through the
Chinese empire, Indian Arabia and thence
across the Straits of Gibraltar into the Mo-
roccos and coastwise around the continent OF
Africa.
The passage Of the Behring strait is the only
apparent obstacle, and two objections are Of
fered First that the strait is in the Arctic circle
second, the considerable distance intervening
between the American and Siberian shores
These objections present no impossible or
very difficult problems. The strait is only
weight miles in width, with the Dromede
Islands near midway. Bridges little more
than twenty miles long on either side Of this
island would make the connection. The water
has shallow, solid bottom, in no place exceed
ing depth Of forty feet.
The warm current, or the Pacific gulf stream,
having a temperature OF IS degrees, passes
through Behring straits into Behring sea as
through the small mouth Of funnel Thus
the passage has a uniformly mild temperature.
All the year round the strait is always open,
and icebergs are unknown. Thus nature
offers her assistance, and there are no mechan-
icai obstacles to the construction Of the bridges
required.
