ANOTHER BRICK BUILDING.
An illustration OF the Decrease In Cost
of Materials.

II. II. Dearborn & Co yesterday commenced
piling for the foundation of new brick build
ing on South Third street, near Main, adjoining
the Winehil building. The building will be
three stories above the street and will cover an
area of 60xl05 feet. 1t will be of brick, stone
and iron and will be designed for livery stable.
Fully completed, the building will cost so, 900.
The cost of this structure furnishes an inter-
esting study OF the way in which building ma
terial has cheapened since the period following
the fire. Many buildings similar to this were
put up then at a cost OF from $4,000 TO s35, 600.
Brick that cost SIG per thousand then can be
had for $3.50 now, while lumber formerly cost
ing $I2 sells now for 81

To THE EDITOR: The planet Jupiter is now a

words concerning it may be of interest
One OF the most interesting features OF the
planet is the splendid opportunity for viewing
Its satellites. On most any evening at least one
satellite is visible through ordinary field
glass, and frequently three may be seen. as was
the case September %.

A Disappointed Homesteader.

From the Denver News.
Peter Jay, the clerk Of the Windsor, has Just
returned from trip through the Ute Pass and
was near enough to the recent cloadburst az
Woodland Park to see all that was going on.
Mr.. Jay tells of an old farmer who had built
new spring house on the bank OF the stream
and had just finished painting it bright green
and white. The old gentleman was 30 proud
of the building that he invited the neighbors
for miles around to come and view his handi-
work. The invited guests were all present to
inspect the house on the afternoon Of the
cloudburst, and were ranged along the bank
of the stream when the storm came M. No
sooner had the stream Commenced TO swell
than it carried away q bridge, which came
down at fearful speed and, striking the new
spring house fair and square, carried At about
two miles down the stream. The disgust and
forcible ordinations OF the old man viii
hardly do for publication.

Plotting to Release Almv.

special from Manchester, N. H., says that it
is the opinion Of some Of the state officials there
that some Of Almy's Cor Abbotts) old time con-
federates are plotting to aid the murderer to
escape from the county Jail. Harry Preble,
who was recently arrested for several small
forgeries and who now occupies cell in the
same building with Almy, is thought to be ono
of those most interested in the plot. Preble
though he can easily secure bail, which would
give him his freedom, makes no attempt to do
SO. Since his imprisonment he has sent tele-
grams to men in Springfield, Montreal and
Boston. These kilograms read: Trouble,
come at once"
The theory which is substantiated by reliable
information is that they are not coming for the
purpose Of relieving Prebel, but TO assist him
in carrying out plans for the escape Of Almy.

the small specimens Of this sort found on dead
sticks may be put in press along with other
plants and tied up in the same packages. With
the moister and more feshy fungi the diff
80 that with most Of the fungi known popu-
larly as mushrooms and toadstools it is simply
impossible to make satisfactory herbarium
specimens. Some Of the species are gelatinous
Others break down into jelly a few hours
after maturity. With all these extremely fieshy
species the only way to preserve their form
and color is to make colored sketches soon after
collection. These with the spores saved on
paper will help make up the deficiencies Of tho
specimen.
PARASITIC FUNGI
The various kinds Of parasitic fungi known
commonly under the name Of rusts smuts, mil
dews, blights, &C., are important objects for
the collector. While many thousands of spe-
cles have been described from various parts Of
the globe, new ones are continually being
found even in the best studied regions. Ex-
tensive collections in almost any section are
seen to yield returns In new species and new
forms.
THE NUMBER OF SPECIES
OF these tiny plants, spoken Of under the vari-
GUS names of parasitic fungi, microscopic fungi
and leaf fungi. often nearly equals that of the
Towering plants in the same area. The great
bulk or the species are found on towering
plants, but a few occur on ferns and MOSES,
and some are found parasitic on other parasitic
fungi. Some OF the species. on account of their
unusual size and abundance OF their host plant
or their unusual destructiveness, are sufi-
GENTLY obtrusve to be seen by everybody.
Such are the orange rust of blackberries and
raspbcrries, the so-called cedar apples and
their alternating forms, the rusts on thorn ap-
pies and crab apples, the smut on Indian corn
and many others. Other species are easy enough
to find as soon as they are looked for, but mig BIT
readily pass unobserved. Such are most of the
rusts and mildews Again others are SO in
conspicuous as to be seen only by the export
enced mycOogist.
SOME NECEssARIEs.
In starting out on collecting trip one should
provide himself with good hand lens ofrather
high power, pocket knife, some wrapping
paper and string, and either a portfolio or q
tin collecting box, according to whether it is
desired to press the plants in the field or after
return to quarters One should also carry
some envelopes and a few pill boxes.

ODonovan Rosa publishes in his newspaper,

department relative to passport that he
wanted guaranteeing him freedom from arrest
in Ireland, and which was refused him. In
answer to Rosa first letter Assistant Secretary
OF State Wharton sent passport in the usual
form to Rosa. inclosed in a letter in which he
SAID: The Department cannot furnish you
with passport in any other form, and cannot
give you a guarantee against arrest in foreign
countries on criminal charges"
Rosa wrote back TO Secretary Blaine that he
understood there WINS a treaty between the
United States and Great Britain which stipu-
lated that On American citizen could not be
held Ill prison III Great Britain for any politi-
cal words or acts OF his in this country and
that he wanted to know whether such protec-

Something New to Eat.


new vegetable is about to be introduced to
the people Of the United States through the
Department of Agriculture. 1t is the root of
the Gala lily, which resembles somewhat in ap-
pearance the ordinary Irish tuber, with the ad-
dition of few whiskers that have nothing to
do with the qualities Of the article as an escu-
lent 1t is more elongated, and when cut the
interior is trife more viscid. But section of
it is SO potato-like you would not be likely to
distinguish any difference. In cooking 1t has
first to be boiled in order to destroy certain
acrid properties, after which it may be fried
roasted, baked or what not according to taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to raise these
Gala roots for market. The plants grow readily
in swamps. and so thickly that the yield Of a
single flooded acre Is enormous. They re-
produce themselves by the multiplication Of
their bulbs underground, 30 that the grower
has simply to dig up the offshoots and leave
the parents to propagate anew. For centuries
the Egyptians have cultivated similar crop
during the seasons Of the Nile overflow, and at
the present time Gala lily bulbs are common
vegetable in japanese markets So prolific and
palatable are they that their propagation in
many parts Of the United States where condi-
tons are favorable may reasonably be looked
forward 70 - IN agricultural industry Of the
future.
