VERY shortly we shall be favored by a
visit from the st. Louis syndicate who
are building the Terminal railway. A
severe attack OF the grip, from which he
has not fully recovered, will keep Mr..
R. @. Kerens at home. Doubtless upon
the arrival of these gentlemen the full
plans of the company will be disclosed
in an authoritative shape. Mr.. Kerens
announces that, as soon as he can make
his arrangements to that end, he will

THE COST OF STREET PAVEMENT.

1t has transpired that there is we'll
organized ring of street contractors IN
San Francisco who pay percentage OF
two cents a square foot to officials for the
purpose of enabling them to control the
work of paving streets with bituminous
rock. ]. III. Bingham, who has refused
to cooperate with the ring, has found
himself subjected to serious annoyance
from officials in the street department
whenever he has succeeded IN obtaining
a contract against the combine" In
his exposure of the tactics of the ring he
let's the public into few facts relative
to the profit in laying bituminous rock
pavement which are interesting and in
structive. He says that, as one who pre-
tends to thoroughly understand the lay
ing of bituminous pavement, and every
element of cost that enters into 1T, he
can assure the public that it can be laid
down at cost of not more than II cents
per square foot, and even less. Here is
his summary of the cost for labor, and
material delivered on the ground, for 100
square feet:
Rock of required specifications 81 GO
Portland cement IA barrels,-at Sz.Zo per
barrel. ..............-...... -
Labor at cent foot. ......... ..........;. 90
Bitumen at $3.50 ton on the ground,
with cents a foot for laying ........ 10 %
Total .$15 rs
He says that 261a cents footfor pave
ment gives royal margin to contract
ore, and concludes his statement to the
public as follows:
sIsn't there wide margin for pro tit
| on capital invested, time and trouble
| and things like that, between the actual
| cost of SIS 75 for laying 100 square feet
| of bituminous pavement and the $26.5C
collected under contract, even with 9
healthy deduction for -collectiont
and legal expenses to enforce collection
of assessments?
81 am perfectly satisfied to take al
the contracts can carry at that price
and don't propose to go into swindle
and then have to give up half of it to O
lot of thieving city officials. | have not
made a statement in this matter that
am not ready to indorse by my sworn
affidavit"
The application of this San Francisco
eclaircssement to Los Angeles will be
apparent when we say that some of the
most outrageous jobs OF paving in this
city have cost all the way from 25 to q
cents per square foot. We believe that
the Sixth-street enormity cost 26 cents
We now know from Mr.. Bingham, 6
reputable contractor, that there is lib
eral margin of profit in good work a
261a cents per square foot. 1t should
cost no more here than in San Francisco
and we may take it for granted tina
when bids materially exceed this fgur'
the contractors are making the tax
payers pay an excessive figure for stree
pavement. There are miles and mile
of street work to be done this year, ant
unless the contractors wish to DISCUS
the property owners and drive then
into refusing to make the street i'm
provements they want to make, the.
will find that their best policy will be t.
deal fairly with the public.

FIRE BOARD MATTERS.

Donegan's Three Hours Hunt for His

The Fire Board nestled down in its re-

Cause and Effect of Tears.

The poets have dealt with what may
be considered, from their point of view,
chemistry Of tears. They have written
about "salt tears" crystal tears" 'pois-
onous tears" ''honeyed tears" and the.
like. They are, asserts the Chicago Trt-
bune, to some extent correct in their po-
etic -guesses. Tears are saline, for they
carry a trace of the chloride of sodium or
common salt which exists in the blood;
they may be poisonous, for in persons un-
der the influence of a soluble poison, like
"a salt Of antimony, they may convey an
infinitesimal part of such poisonous ma
teriul; they may be honeyed, for In dia-
betes the tears do sometimes become sac
cnarine.
But this sort of thing is exceptional. In
a general way, tears are made up OF pure
water holding Il trace of saline matter,
and nothing more; the glands which
secrete them are the purest wells
of pure water in the body. Tears
are the result of a nervous
storm in the central nervous system, un-
der which there is such q change III the
vascular terminals OF the tear secretlng
glards that the excretion of water from
the glands is p~rotuse. Some excretion is
! always in progress, In order that the
| surface of the eye may be layed n
| cleared of foreign matters which may
come in contact with it. but the control
ling center is at a distance.
AS the muscular power that extends or
| iexes II finger Is at u distance from the
Dart moved, so the excitement of tears is
from an irritation in "a distant nervous
centre, and is removed when the nervous
centre is either soothed or exhausted.
The persons who weep say TINT tears
afford relief. Nothing is more perfectly
true, nothing more clear when the facts
| are understood. The relief comes not
from the mere escape of tears, which is
ouly u symptom, but from the cessation
OF the storm III the nervous chain.
Ii the storm be calmed by soothing
measures, as when We soothe ii child that
is weeping from fear, anuoyance, or in
which the effect ceases. In children the
times it succeeds in adults, although in
adults the cessation of tears is more
| commonly due TO actual exhaustion fol-
lowing a period OF nervous activity.
But after absoI bing all this varied and
abstruse inform ton the only thing an
average woman thinks about her tears Is
that they are a greater relief than II cup
of tea aud The most potent argument she
can employ.
