The Subject of Drainage and Sewerage
Creating Much ALL
Notwithstanding the law passed by the
Legislature authorizing an expenditure
of $780, 900 by the City Of Hoboken to
secure complete drainage of the meadow
district. 1t is pretty safe to predict that it
will be sometime yet before the residents
aud property owners of the meadow lands
will find relief. The members of the City
council are not disposed to expend such
an amount or money unless they feel
that their action Is thoroughly endorsed
by the people. Opinions as to the cheap
est and best methods are divers. The
trouble seems to be that the meadow
lands are lower than that sec
tion of the city Immediately adjacent
to the banks of the Hudson.
Property owners in this sectio i OF the
city haye no reason to complain Of a de-
ficient sewer system. and are the refore
averse TO being taxed for the benefit of
those who W property in the meadow
section, and have SO notified their repre-
sentative in the City Council.
A reporter tor THE JERSEY CITY NEWS

wig Ii Councilman Weinthal this

There is not room for doubt as tQ

any lawyer or any accountant to give
a practical working explanation of it.
We defy anyone to now say definitely
what the city is to collect under it, or
how the amount to be collected is TO

sheer, rank imposture. 1t is a collec-
ton of words and phrases which
mean nothing, when the time comes,
or at best means nothing tangible or
practical.
The Street and water Commission
ers have erred grossly in passing an
ordinance containing such a clause.
They ought to be kicked out of Office
for it. We hope Mayor Wanser or
Acting Mayor Simpson in vetoing it
will hold them up to the public con-
demnation as they deserve.

THE syndicate which has taken
hold of the local transit business
bought the control of the Jersey City
and Bergen system for So, 700, 600.
What did they get for that sum of
money?
Tracks?
No. They are tearing them all up
and laying new ones.
Horses2
No. They are going to sell off all
the horses for a few thousand dollar S
and introduce electric traction.
Cars?
No. All the cars on the road would
not represent over one per cent of
that sum, and the announcement is
made that they are to be sold, too,
and new and modern ones introduced.
What, then, did the syndicate pay
S., ZOO, 900 for?
Simply for the right to use Jersey
City's streets. Including real estate,
they may have got anywhere from
800, 600 to $500. 900 worth of tangible
property. The rest or So, 500, 900 was
the price of the franchise to use about
thirty miles CT single track laid in the
city streets. There was no ambiguity
about that.
The ordinance, recently passed, and
now in Acting Mayor Simpsons
hands gives them franchises for about
fifteen miles of tracks.
Why should the terms of the city's
compensation be a matter of jugglery
and deception?
That is the question.

bly, protected from flies, while the con-
slant tossing of hay so that it falls all
over the body would, for awhile, keep
the annoying insects at bay. The ele-
plants will keep the flies away in this
manner even when under cover.
That elephants should be troubled
with flies seems almost as odd as that
they should feel the sun of our climate.
Their powerful bodies are covered with
skin that one would think would be
proof against all flies, but, in spite OF
the elephants ruggedness, he is a most
sensitive creature. In his native coun-
try, when carrying travellers, he will
sometimes stop by the roadside, select
leafy switch about five feet long, and
keep the flies at bay by tapping his
great body with it.
In their wild state, | suppose, ele.
plants go out in tho sun but very lit.
tie; the natural histories speak of their
going to the pools at night to quench
their thirst and to enjoy frolic in the
water. In the daytime they usually
are found beneath the friendly shade
of grove of trees. OF course, with
this natural shade there would be nc
necessity for them to protect them
selves from the sun by artificial means
and the fact that they thatch theil
backs in Central park to shield them is
only another proof of the wonderful in
telligence which these animals alway:

MEMoRY'S FACE.
They had not met for forty years,

They had not met for forty years,
And they looked each other DER
To find one trace of the merry face
That the childhood playmate wore;
The golden hair was streaked with gray,
The laughing lip firm set,
The eye was dull, the form grown FULL
"How changed" they said, land yet"
They had not met for forty years,
And they looked each other DER,
There scarcely trace OF tho merry face
That the childhood playmate wore;
The cheek was brown and thin and old
That used to be so sweet
And they did not know in the step so slow
The tread OF the boyish feet
ave have not met for forty years."
They said; SIS 1T you and 1,

A bit Of the long gonebyP'

When we played hi'spy, when you and
Rolled hoop through the midst of the town;

And the hatfuls we used to shake.

And the voice of the heart can sing

With the ruddy glow of the long ago,
For our souls ore just the same.

WHY FOAM is WHITE.
Due to the Large Number of Reflectin
Surfaces Formed.

Due to the Large Number of Renecting
Surfaces Formed.
The question as to why all foam is
white is not an easy one to understand
but the fact is that foam is always
white, whatever may be the color of
the beverage itself. The froth pro-
duced on bottle of the blacklist ink is
white, and would be perfectly so were
it not tinged to a certain extent by
particles of the liquid which the bub-
bles hold in mechanical suspension.
AS to the cause of this Wilderness, it
is sufficient to say that it is due to the
large number of rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam; for it is these sur
faces which, by rejecting the light,
produce upon our eyes the impression
of white.
If we remember that all bodies owe
their colors to the rays of light which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies
which reflect all the light that they r.
ceive, without absorbing any appear
perfectly white, we shall be prepared
to understand how the multitude of re-
f1ecting surfaces formed by the foam
and which do not absorb any light
must necessarily give the froth white
appearance.
1t is for the same reason that any
very fine powder appears white; even
the blacklist marble, when ground tC
dust, losing every trace of it's original
color.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 15.-Advices
from Cuba to the insurgents here bid
not to despair or give up hope, as gen.
eral uprising through the island may be
expected any day. The aim is now to lull
suspicion, and as soon as sufficient funds
have been raised and the organization per-
fected, small bands will leave for the ISL
and. It is expected that they will mass
their forces near Cardenas or Clibar, and
make that their base on the north side of
the island
Tho Cubans, Saturday night, had q
parade and torchlight procession, headed
by brass bands and Cuban flags. Not less
than 8, 900 men were in line, 1900 of
whom were those who are believed to be
the volunteers who are ready to embark
for Cuba. Gen. Marti, it Is said, has col
lected $751; since last Monday for the
Cuban cause.
The Mascotte, which arrived Saturday
night, brings news of raids in the province
of Havana Friday night by revolutionists,
notwithstanding the reports of the Spanish
authorities that everything is quiet. The
Federal officials here have reliable inform
alton that there are large quantities of
arms and ammunition stored on this ISL
and for the Cuban insurgents. Every
precaution will be taken to prevent their
shipment.

AN ELEPHANT's sufsssil4-,=.

One of the ComicRI Summer Sights II
Central Park, New York.
On hot summer days in New York
when the mercury is we'll up in tbs
nineties, it becomes almost n neces- .ty
to carry an umbrella or shade of s. ne
kind to protect ourselves from the
burning rays of the sun. We should
hardly expect, however, a native of
India-residing in this city-to have
the same need for sunshade, particu-
larly when the native is huge Indian
elephant. That an elephant should
feel the heat of our climate seems
rather absurd, but as he does, it is
quite in keeping with the general in
telligence of this animal that he should
invent some means of protecting him.
self from it.
The elephant Enclosure in Central
park contains no trees nor shade of
any kind, and on those hot days when
the heat is almost unbearable it seems
hotter there than any place in New
York. Grouped around the Enclosure
are usually scores of persons, many
with sunshades and umbrellas, intent
ly watching the elephants Some of
the huge animals are carefully tossing
others, whose backs are almost COW
cred, may be seen peacefully resting.
Newly-mown grass is what the ele-
plant prefers for this purpose-per-
haps because it feels cooler than hay
but hay answers the purpose very well.
How many visitors to the park on these
warm days have realized that they
were not the only ones carrying sun
shades, and that the elephants were
protecting themselves in like fashion!
The fact that elephants never at
tempt to thatch their backs with hay
during the winter, although the same
opportunities for doing so exist, seems
to prove that they use the hay as a
protection from heat. They may
sportively throw little hay about,
but nothing more. However, in fly
time, there are good and sufficient rea-
sons for the animals adopting the same
means of defense again; therefore,
when the flies are fierce, the elephants
cover their huge backs as on hot sum-
mer days. One can readily see that in
this way their backs would be admira-
