Chinese Figures.

WASHINGTON, April Sin response
to the senate resolution calling upon Sec.

Chinese at San Francisco annually since
August 3. 1882, and any information
respecting the evasion of the law for the
exclusion of Chinese laborers, the score
tary today transmitted a tabulated state

The Alaska seal catching problem still
continues TO be the leading subject OF discus
sion in the trade. Various suggestions are
being made by people who do not know
much about the business. One proposition
is that the government preserve the islands
OF St Paul and st. John as breeding Islands,
and permit no intrusion there by any one.
Another is that the seal be domesticated.
On the ground that the seal skin is worth
more than a sheep skin, it is proposed that
seals be "rHised cheaply on the shores Of
Salt Lake" This proposition is unique, still
we find the editors Of a scientific paper Civ
ing 1t expression. As shad have not yet been
introduced there, and blue fish are unknown
to the Mormons except through the medium
of refrigerator cars, it will be rather hard to
formulate a plan to govern the migrations of
the seals.-Hatter and Furrier.

dams in New Mexico.
New York Morning Journal.
Most of the native dwellings around
the city and throughout New Mexico are
built of mud bricks, called ''adobes."
Mixing little broken straw with the
soil, rough blocks. about twice the size
of ordinary bricks.a are nodded, dried in
the sun, and piled upin the form of a
wall, with spaces high up for doorand
windows. After the wall is dry it is
smeared over inside and out with thin
paste of earth and water, SmOothed with
the palms of the hands.
Tie roof is formed of rough timbers
covered with boards, on which is spread
dry earth, to the depth of twelve inches
OF more. The intense heat of the sun
speedily consolidateS the mass, and rude
cutters are made to carry off tropical
rains. Access is gained by a ladder, as
the fat roof is used for drying fruit and
grain, and for a Longing place for the
family.
The rooms are gloomy. because the
apertures serving for windows are very
small. The earthen floor is covered
with skins which, with blankets furnish
the beds. The cooking utensils are prim-
tive, and the culinary art, such as 1t
is, is practiced out of doors.
In nearly every honse will be found a
board a few inches square, on which is
depicted saint, or group of saints,
usully in red or yellow; for intense
colorS are much admired, as in all lands
of the sun. This is seen also in dress
and in general Communications.
