CITY SIGHTS.

AT a medical students ball in Chica-
go, the dances were named after medi-
cines, as the quassia quadrille, the nux
vomica valse, the podophylline Ian
GERS, etc.
AT a recent ball in Paris, the supper
room, decorated with roses, leaves and
vines, was bower of beauty. The
roses grew in clusters on the walls,
and from luxuriant vines, sustained by
gilt trellises, great punches of grapes
hung.

VISITORS to the city seem to tal-c very
kindly to tho Eansom, especially the
younger people. One may often sec
young women and young men, by them
selves or together, riding about in han
SONS and seeming to enjoy, along with
the sights, the novelty of the vehicle
in which they are moving.

undisturbed by the uproar of the great

for two preceding evenings the guests
had enjoyed a reu1stl ct social gayeties

each guest on arrival was supplied with
. comfortable chair and pillow, 'all was

Despite tho prevailing depression in
many lines of business. one industry in
this section employs large number OF
hands and is running overtime. 1t is
that of gathering the delicious bivalves
about the size OF silver dollar known
as Little Neck clans. The catch in this
vicinity averages nearly 100 barrels a
week, for which wholesale dealers in
New York pay s. to $40 Il barrel.
There are usually about $500 clans
in barrel. but sometimes when they
are running unusually small there may
be 5000. When New Yorker enters q
swell restaurant and pays 40 cents for
seven or eight of these little bivalves. it
can readily be seen that barrel con-
tanning $500. and costing about $40. will
yield the proprietor something like 5000.
There is market for Little Necks all
the year round. but it is difficult to
catch them during the winter months. -

and Persia. has been inordinately large
The ordinary sanitary laws are disre-

Mohammedan world. Anything like

Composition OF n Meteor That Fell
In Arizona.

Composition OF Meteor That Fell
In Arizona.
NEW YORK, July 19-Defnite knowl-
edge of the interior composition OF a
meteor has just been gained by profess
sors at Yale college, Last year an inn
mense meteor fell in Canyon Diab o.
Arizona. 1t was purchased from the
discover"r for 1928 b. friends of Pro-
lessor Elias Loolnis, now dead, who
WAS Yale's chief astronomer. The
meteor Was sent to Yale college
for the Peabody museum, with
the request that it b. inscribed
to the memory of Professor LOOMS.
The mass was rough and uneven and
looked like huge cinsler. Last week
it was sent to New Haven factory to
have one end planel off to givo a space
for the inscription. From its general
appearance the men supposed it
weighed about 200 pounds, while, in
fact, its weight was about o35 pounds.
The two men who came for it nearly
strained their backs before they
acknowledged they needed help.
The worKmen were surprised when
they saw the teeth of the powerful
planer melting swiftly away. Set after
set of teeth was put at work, but it was
not until IL had been used and spoiled
that the desired smooth sarfae3 was
made. An examination OF the scraps
from the p amer revealed the fact that
the meteor was composed of millions of
minute back and white diamonds, too
small to be of any use, but weighing
enough in the aggregate, could they ba
combined, to furnish all immense for
tune. There are other valuable ma
tefials in the meteor nicke!. iron
graphite and triolita.

finally settle the mystery concerning
the steamer Alexandria, which was
fitted out in San Francisco some time
ago, ostensib!y FOR fishing cruise.
The Alexandria, under command of
Captain Mclean, sailed from San
Francisco for Honolulu last April and
later left Honolulu at night. On
June s5 the Alexandria was in
terceptel in Behriny sea by the United
States steamer MoLican. The Mohican
ordered the Alexanlri;. to lay to, but
instead Of dong so the Alexandria in-
creased her sree.l and attempted to
escape. The Mohiean pursued her and
fired two blank shots across her bow as
signal for her to heave to. In supre,ne
disregard of the order of the Alexandria
steamed faster. ard when the Mohicsn
fired another blank cart: idge, the Alex
