supreme court Of the state of New York, stands
prominently before us as an exponent and cham
pion Of the cause OF good roads. says the official
organ OF the LEAGUE of American Wheelmen.
The grand jury of Wcstckester county. New
York. must also in for its share in the effort
10 bring the highway commissioners of that
county to realizing sense of their duties
public servants. In accordance with some very
prin statements made to the grand jury by
Justice Dykman that body paid its respects to
the district commissioners in the following
manner: 80 Having had our attention
called to the subject of the condition of the
public roads. streets and highways in this
county, and of the criminal liability of certain
city, village and town officers in the county for
falling to keep the same in proper and suitable
repair, by the Hon. j. o. Dykman. our justice
Of this court. and having been advised by said
court Of the propriety and advisabiity of the
grand jury's adopting some resolution or meas
ure by which the attention of officers having the
of roads. streets and ghways called TO their
criminal liability for failure to perform their
duty in that respect, we do hereby certify that
We have instituted an inquiry into the con-
dition OF our roads, streets and highways,
and do hereby respectfully resolve and re-
port: - Then follows a long list of
cases where negligence has allowed the high
ways of Westchester county to deteriorate
and in every instance specifying wherein
the fault lies. A copy of these specified
charges of negligence has been sent to each
board OF highway officers in the county.
Here is q step in the right direction, and it is
one that might be properly followed by a ma
jority of the grand juries in this broad land of
ours. 1t is a most cheering sign of the times
that the taxpayers are getting tired of seeing
the money they pay to repair highways literally
thrown away by these inefficient, irresponsible
highway officers.
"A wink from grand jury ought to be
enough in most cases, but when it isn't then it
is time to resort to more vigorous and convinc-
ing means. We wish we had more Justice
Dykmans and more grand juries of the West
chester county stamp. MAY their shadow
never grow less.) If we had the highway
system of the United States would be brought
up to standard more in keeping with the
progressive methods of the country in which We
live

The President of Mexico.

Porifirio Diaz, the man who makes his
home at Chapultepec, is rather disap-
pointing when one from the North gets
the first sight of him. While the palac,
is undergoing repairs at an enormous
cost he makes his home in the palace,
near the heart of the city. 1t is a plain
building outside, looking much as the
other houses do, but on the inside it is
magnificently furnished. Diaz is an Az
tee Indian of the pure blood. He is a
short man, with black hair, eyes and
mustache He speaks but little English.
and never attempts it in the presence of
one from the States. He wears Prince
Albert in every day life, with a stand
ing collar and broad, fiat tie. He was
born in 1850 From the time he reached
manhood he was engaged in fighting his
way to the highest position in the re-
public.
Twice he flew to New Orleans for
safety, once returning to Vera Cruz in
the guise of coal HEAVIER. He won his
greatest honors at Puebla, when with
1000 men he defeated his opposition and

Diaz had his soldiers at the polls and not
a vote out of 10, 10000 population was
cast against him, There was no othel
candidate to vote for. One of the first
great acts of this man was to free the
country of the bandits. They were so
numerous and daring that no one was
safe. They would rush into the city,
seize prominent citizen and carry him
away to the mountain for ransom with
out finger being raised against them.
But Diaz stopped this. He made {
contract with the bandits that they
should have good pay serving the Gov
ernment and their crimes forgotten if
they would leave their life in the mount

are mounted on fine horses, splendidly
equipped with carbines and sabres, and

The Eskimos Surely Starving.

Hitherto the Eskimos have depended
for food upon the whale, walrus, and
seal of the coast and the fish of the
rivers. The first three animals have also
supplied them with clothing, boats, and
all other necessaries of life. Fifty years
ago the whalers, having exhausted other
waters, sought the northern Pacific for
whales, pursuing them into Bering Sea,
and carrying the war of determination
into the Arctic Ocean. At length the
few surviving whales have been driven
to the neighborhood of the pole, and
their species has become well-night ex-
tinct on the Alaskan coast. Respond
ing to a commercial demand for ivory,
the whalers' turned their attention to
the walrus and proceeded to wipe them
out of existence likewise. Sometimes as
many as two thousand of the valuable
beasts would be slaughtered on single
cake of ice, merely for their tusks. Thus
walrus is hardly to be found to-day In
those waters where so short time ago
the animals were so numerous that their
bellowings were heard above the roar of
the waves and the grinding of the foes.
Seals and sea-llons are now getting so
scarce that the natives have difficulty in
procuring enough of their skins to cover
boats. They used to catch and cure great
quantities of fish in the streams, but
their supply from this source has recently
diminished owing to the establishment
of great cannaries which send millions
of cans of salmon out of the country an
nually and destroy vastly more by waste
full methods. Improved firearms have
driven the wild caribou into the mac
cessible regions of the remote interior.
Thus the process of slow starvation
and depopulation has begun along the
whole Arctic coast of Alaska, and famine
is progressing southwark year by year on
the shore of Bering Sea. Where vii
lagos numbering thousands were few
years ago, the populations have been re-
duceu to hundreds. ds.-Boston Transcript.

Joseph Wallace, in the Popular Science
News, says that our climate has GER
tainly been much modified within the
past 1000 years. "There have been
fifteen climatic changes since the begin
ming of the glacial age" he writes, "each
change lasting 10, 500 years, and each
change reversing the season in the two
hemispheres, the pole which had enjoyed
continuous summer being doomed to
undergo perpetual winter for 1O,5Oo
years and then passing to its former
state for an equal term" The present
epoch of more genial temperature at
this season of the year in this northern
hemisphere began about 1900 years ago,
and for 5000 years to come, writes MIR.

gradual modification of our climate

Science has been meditatiug upon the
subject of the probable increase of the
population in the United States, and it
presents us with these startling con-
clusion- Since 1850 the increase has
been from 1850, 900 to the neighbor-
hood, in 1890, of 65,000,0 900. If this
ratio of increase is fair basis for pre-
diction we shall have at the time when
the ten year-old boy of to-day shall be
forty years of age, in 1920, something
like 100, 900, 900 of people in the United
States, and when that man of forty
reaches his seventieth birthday 1850
we shall have close upon 400, 900, 600
population.

A French physician recommends vac

and thus avoid danger of infection from

An automatic electric gas extinguisher

1t has been estimated that the motive

A method of purifying water invented

The handles of table knives are now

used with the game course have tiny
flights of partridge and miniature long

Recent tests in the use of the phono.

concentrating sound upon the drum o

Superintendent that he can by thi'
means soon teach the use of their voices
to many mutes whose inability to speak
is due to the fact that they have never
| heard speech.
