Ruskln Studying Art.

Such lover of art Is John Ruskin
that he often adopts novel methods of
studying artistic effects. On one
nccasion he astonished the waiter at
~his hotel by calling for half-a-dozen
bottles of champagne. They were
brought, and the man was ordered to
pour out slowly the contents of one bot
tie into deep plate, while RuslSin sat
and watched attentively the foam of
the effervescing wine. When it had
nearly subsided, another bottle was
poured out IN the same manner; fizzing
and bubbling, the wine made its way In
to another plate, and the great art
critic still sat watching keenly the re-
suit. One bottle after another, until
the whole six were exhausted, was
poured forth in this way, and then
Rusldn, turning to the waiter, made
him a present of the wine, advising
him, with a touch of his own quaint
dry humor, mot to drink 1t all himself"
Like the famous painter who sat all
one day throwing pebbles into the
water, and marking the ripples they
made on its surface, Ruslsin had been
taking an art-lesson from the efferves-
cence of the champagne at all this ex-
pense of time and money.
On another occasion he engaged
band of the best musicians from Lon
Non at great expense, and made them
I5iay on the beach near Follrestone

curlous pI.eovery Of amurr1od orlum

SAN Francisco, Oct. 81. An i'm
portant seizure of contreband opium
was made yesterday on the coastiug
steamer Lakmo, which had just arrived
In port from Seattle. The discovery of
the cantraband article was made in a
curious way. The customs officers had
searched the vessel without finding any
thing out Of the ordinary, when one of
the officers was much struck with a
picture which hung upon the wall of
the cabin. He thought he would take
it, He removed it from the wall and
was greatly surprised to find a large
cavity in the wall from which he ex-
tracted l72 boxes of the choicest Chinese
opium.

The commercial outlook of Oregon is
westward. 1t is nearer by thp breadth
Of a continent to the markets Of the old
east and Of the Pacific islands than are
the Atlantic ports. No just estimate
can be placed upon the future volume
and value Of the trade with Asia. No
one nation can control it, but the strug-
gle to possess it will be mainly between
England and our Pacific coast states.
British statesmen, with proverbial sagac-
ity, foresaw this struggle, and it was not
the result Of accident that in settling the
Oregon boundary we lost the island of
Vancouver and half Of Puget sound.
In this struggle the new northwest
will have an advantage over California
in distance, and In the fact that the
ocean stream which rises of the coast Of
Asia and flows east ward to the American
continent gives b every ship bound for
y northwestern port q gain of twenty
miles In every tw~nty-four hours. The
region will have an advantage over
Great Britain in the local production Of
thestapie articles required for the Asiatic
trade. He who should now undertake to
estimate the commerce Of the Pacific
coast with Asia and tho Pacific islands
twenty-five years hence would find few
who would not consider his estimate ex-
aggerated. Senator Dolph in Forum.

Outlays That Bring Incomes.

An advertising agent gave me some
interesting items today about the
amounts paid by some of the leading
houses hare for advertising The COM
pany who is supposed to lead the List is q
baking powder company which spends
$500, 900 yearly in making their wares
known. Following them the Pearline
people come. spending $500, 900 annually.
The Sapolio company is credited with
spending 900, 600. Among the dry goods
people, who are about the largest adver-
tisers in the daily papers, E. ]. Denning
& Co. stand first They lay ont 500, 600
q year in newspaper advertising. Lord
& Taylor are reckoned next, with an ex-
penditure of $60, 200. The big Sixth ave-
nue. baEars run anywhere from $40. 900 to
$50, 600 a year, and the merchant who
does not spend @25, 900 year nowadays
simply isn't in it," so far as heavy ad-
vertising goes.
OF course where such large sums are
expended there is a great deal of thought
put upon the subject and the advertis-
ing man is an important parsonage. So
deeply interested, indeed. are advertisers
in the art that distinct literature is
rapidly springing up. publishing the
latest ideas by the best experts. Who
knows but talented writer's of advertise
ments will yet be admitted to the Au-
thors' clubs-New York. Cor. Washing

Uncle Sam Finally Takes = Hand in the

The scheme for converting Grand
river into water way navigable for
lake vessels seems at last to be fairly
started. The preliminary survey made
last season at the expense of the Board
of Trade, found favor in the sight of
the War Department at Washington.
The plan IA so feasible and the difficult
ties In the way are so trifiing.
that the department has decided
to give the matter careful
investigation and an appropriation for a
more extended survey was granted.
Fred w. Morley, an expert engineer
of national reputation and a member
Of the American Society of Civil En-
gineers. has arrived IN the city to take
charge of the new government suvey.
The preliminary survey showed that
between the city and Lake Michigan
the fall is less than four feet and that
the channel il of sufficient depth for
one-half of the distance. The work TO
be done is between Grand Rapids and
Lamont and for this distance of nearly
twenty miles the channel will have to
be deepened four or Eve feet, in order
to make it nsvigable for deep keeled
boats. Mr.. Morley took a row boat
yesterday morning and started to drift
over the route. He expects TO finish
this INSPECTION by Saturday night, when
he will return to make preparations for
a thorough survey of the water course
