EXHIBITION OF MARINE ALGAE
should BE Seen ssy All Lovers oil
Natural History.

should Re Seen sly All Lover OF
Natural History.
Never has there been a more beautiful ex-
hiblt than the 5000 specimens of California
sea MOSES now being shown in the Sunday
school rooms of the First Presbyterian
Church on Emory street. The exhibitor is
Hiss Mary Westfall, a teacher of California,
who during the summer vacations for ten
wears collected the Marine Algae which are
now the wonder and admiration of all who
see them. Miss Westfan spent three years
il preparing her exhibit for the Worlds
Fair at which she was awarded a medal.
The certificate sayS:-"A very large exhibit
showing great variety OF specimens, many of
scientific value. From an artistic point of
view it is entitled to high c-ommendation,
showing great skill and taste on the part OF
the exhibitor
The sea moses are so bewilderingly beau
tiful that no adjectives can describe them.
Some resemble the most delicate lacework,
the product of fairy fingers, while others
seem to be rosy foliage. Each specimen has
its own peculiar beauty, always intensified
by being held IN the light. One remarkable
fact about the color OF the sea moses is that
no blue appears In them. There are exquis-
ite pinks, puppies, magentas, delicate greens
and browns, but the tin of the ocean is
wanting.
Hiss WeSUIau IS q very pl6dSaub eAulUiSpf,
being only too glad to explain her work to
all who appear interested. She has given
several exhibits in large cities, where she
was most enthusiastically received, and her
years Of labor in the cause of science APP
~preciated.
Scientists, teachers. those interested in
natural;history, and everyone who has an
eye for the beautiful ought to visit Miss
Westfall's exhibit this week. 1t win be an
inspiration to- those not yet interested
in natural history, and a revelation
to those who know nothing of the
plant life in the depths of the ocean. 1t will
add to ones pleasure also TO hear Miss West
fail tell in her interesting way how she col
.lected her specimens IN the Pacific Coast,
rising early each morning to look for special
varieties of the sea MOSES.
Superintendent Snyder has announced the
exhibit to the teachers of the city, request
ing them to urge their pupils to attend.
Principal Stimets of Hasbrouck Institute has
also announced it to his students The ex-
hibit will be open this afternoon and even
ing, Friday and Saturday afternoons.
The fact that part of the proceeds will go
to the Children's Home ought t. increase the
interest in the exhibit. Mrs. DR.. Forman

depending upon the coal supply. 1t
means loss OF millions in profits TO
protected millionajres, and, OF course,
millions In wages to protected work
inginen. If Canadian coal could come
in free. industry might go on and
the miners and their bosses fight it
out without injury to anyone else.
But things are not o ordered under
the dispensation of Saint Mckinley,
and SO the weekly loss to the country
may presently run up into millions or
even tens of millions.
Perhaps the present evil may work
out the extinction of the greater one
1t would not be surprising to see the
entire horde of protectionists join in
an overwhelming demand for free
coal. and thus put an end to the
whole monstrous theory of protection
at one swoop. Ii this should come
to pass, the coal strike would be a
blessing in disguise.

Seven Children in EEoboken.
The family of Joseph Kubath camo from
jamestown, Pa, on Monday. and went to
New York. There were five children, the
oldest thirteen years of age, besides JoseLh
and his wife. The family became 50 much
absorbed in the height of the building in
the big city that Joseph was lost
from the remainder OF the flock.
They had intended going to
Sweden from New York, but the plans we're
disarranged by the sudden disappearance of
Joseph. The mother and her five children
were strangers In New York, but managed
to find a hotel down town to stop at, luckily
Mrs. Kubath having a little cash. She never
thought of making inquiries at police sta
lions for her wandering husband
She walked about New York
all of Tuesday with her children
and at night found herself up near Central
Park. Yesterday afternoon she crossed the
river and got over to Hoboken. DIR. Kiel
and Henry Hirtler saw the strange family,
and inquired if they were lost. Mrs. Ku-
bath didn't know, but guessed SO. The
family was gathered in to Police Headquar-
tiers. and the New York police were tele-
phoned TO. In an hour word came back that
a man named Joseph Kubath had turned up
OF Rockaway, and that he was on his way to
hoboken to get his strayed family. The
whole seven left at seven O'Clock, and all had
happy smiles.

ASPHALT WON'T STAND
WATER.
That's the Reason Chestnut Street
People Must Tolerate Dust.

1t will certainly be in order to en-
quire as to whether the material
shortly to be laid in our streets is of
this Philadelphia brand or not. Ii il
is. the sooner the Street and Water
Board annuls its contracts, the bet
ter.
The trouble in Philadelphia arose
this way. The private contractors
who sprinkle the streets there, as
here, were recently ordered to desist
from using the fire plugs to fill their
cart. On enquiry they learned that
the companies which laid the asphalt
pavement had procured the order.
These companies had informed the
Director of Public Works that IF the
flooding of the streets, as they called
it, continued, they would not con
slider themselves responsible for the re-
pairs called for under their contract.
They said indiscriminate sprinkling
of hot asphalt under the summer sun
would lead to much damage to it,
The Director informed the street
sprinklers of the state of affairs. They
immediately cut down the spray of
water, so that no excuse of flooding"
could be made, but that didn't suit
the PAYERS of the streets. So the
street. s%prinkling company went to the
expense of getting sprinklers from
Ohio, which threw a gentle spray like
q summer shower, hardly enough to
wet the surface of the asphalt.
Even this failed to suit the layers of
the asphalt. They stated that if any
water at all was put upon the streets
for which they were responsible. ex-
eept under their supervision. they
would feel relieved of all responsible
ifyfor the asphalt. So a quietus was
put on all %sprinkling. 1t is impossible
to clean asphalt with brushes. The
fine dust gets through the meshes,
and that is what causes the trouble.
There is only one thing to do. and
that is to cake this dust by sprink-
ling.
Now, Jersey City is dirty and dusty
enough without this added impossi-
biiity of sweeping the streets or even
laying the dust. But yer and above
this consideration comes the ques-
ton. What effect will rain have upon
the asphalt if even gentle sprinkling
is ruinous to it? The Press fails to
state the name of the company that
laid the Philadelphia pavement. But
there are only two or three in the
field altogether.
This is certainly a warning to u
officials. We direct the attention Of
Mayor Wanser aud every member of
the Street and Water Board to it.
One particular brand may be water
proof, but we had better make u
before it is laid.

FRAUDULENT POST OFFICE ORDERS

MDDLETowN, NY, May II, 1884,
Fraudulent Wells Fargo orders have been
sent to Middletown, Port Jervis and Goshan,
as well as Newburg and other points. All
were numbered H667 !al9, and purported to
have been issued at Chicago by Arson Cor
ton, agent, per f. F., payable to George
Mussey, endorsed TO B. N. Trund, ramitter
given as e. s.. Conch. Each order was ac-
companied with a request to remit the pro-
ceeds to f.. N. Trund, attorney, ST. Louis.
1t seems that names OF attorneys who act
for soma mercantile agency were selected.
In Middletown the order was sent to Dill 81
Cox; at Goshen, to Louis Bedell; IN Port Jer-
Wis, Wilton Bennett, all reputable lawyers.
When Bennett presented che order he was
shown a circular IN the express Office expos
ing the fraud. He Immediately telegraphed
to the ST. Louis attorney that by forward
ing the cost Of a process he would proceed IN
law. Nothing was heard in reply. The
scheme did not work at either Of the above
named places.
