STREET FoREMEN's WAGES.
Works Board VIII Ask that They he
Paid More.

The members Of the Board of Public
Works say they have not expressed them
selves as opposed to granting to the fore
men of the street repair gang the addition
al pay they ask. They said yesterday that
the foremen petitioned them for adj
ditional 81 a day, making their pay So in
stead OF s. day. They represented to the
board that 1t was necessary for them to
use a buggy in their work for the city,
and upon the showing made the board de-
cided to grant them an increase OF 70
cents a day. 1t was afterwards learned
that the board could not raise the salaries
of the men and they were so informed
Then they petitioned the Council for the
increase. The members OF the Board OF
Works say they believe the men are en-
titled 10 Is cents more day than they re-
ceive. as they ere compelled TO use horse
and buggy in their work.

CONTRACTORS MUST PAY.
East Washington street Ordered Re-
paired at Their Expense.

Gen. Fred Kneher called on the Mayor
yesterday to have the city compel the
contractor who built the East Washington
street sewer put the street in good con-
dition. The street was macadamized and
when 1t was torn up by the contractor the
dirt was simply pitched back into the ex-
cavation, without any regard as TO the
condition in which the street was left. The
attention Of the Board of Public Works
has been called to the condition of the
street. and IL has several times served no.
tice upon the contractors to restore the
street to its former condition. The con-
tractors have paid no attention TO these no.
tees. The city has not yet paid them for
the work, and the Board of Works will
order the street repaired by the street
commissioner and retain the cost of the
work from the money due the contractors.

To Make Sunlight.

Nicola Tesla, whose wonderful achieve
ments in the line of electricity are well
known, thinks that he will soon be able to
produce sunlight on the earth at will.
He says that the light of the sun is the re-
suit of electric vibrations in the "a, 900,
600 miles Of ether which separate us from
that luminary and does not proceed from
a great central fire, as the scientists have
all along held If these vibrations can
be reproduced, the light will follow. The
rapidity of the vibrations in second nee
essary to produce the desired result is, he
says, expressed by the figure with IA ci-
piers annexed, and he is now trying to
build machine which will produce these
vibrations 1t would appear from what
he says that this vibration must be pro-
duced in nothing, or what comes next to
nothing-ether-for he asserts that if one
had solid chunk of steel as big as a
house and could communicate to it this
vibration it would instantly be atomized
and disappear.-New Orleans Picayune.

John Chinaman Uses Green Blueing and

reporter, whether it was laundered by a
Chinaman, by hand or by machinery
Yours was laundered by a Chinaman
The Chinaman all use the same kind of
blue. You know the blue people are al
ways after our trade, but they gave up the
attempt to influence John to make q
change long ago. John sticks to his green
blue. don't mean the blue is green, but
that it gives green effect on the shirt,
which yol can see at once if you will hold
shirt bosom between your eyes and the
light. John usually puts on high pol
ish, and when he does it seems thicker
than that on anything done by an Ameri-
can laundry. Anyway I'd have no trou

you'd change over to Mclean man, eh?'

A Pretty Story Spoiled.

A very pretty anecdote has been for
years current in France with regard to the
pleasant relations between Victor Hugo
and the poet of smaller fame who succeed
ed to his chair in the academy. When Le-
conte de Lisle made his first attempt to
win place among the immortals, one
vote alone SO the story goes, was given in
his favor 1t was that of Victor Hugo.
The aspirant failed, as a matter of course,
but the next day he wrote to his solitary
supporter the following words: Master,
you chose me, and am one of the elect /"
Unhappily the entire tale turns out upon
investigation to be the merest fiction M.
Camille Doucet, the permanent secretary
of the institute, with whom alone rests,
the secret of the ballot, reveals the truth
now that both heroes are dead. Victor
Hugo never gave his vote for Leconte de
Lisle at all, though he did not think it
proper to contradict the report which
credited him with having done SO. This
name of that one and only admirer has
still to be discovered, but M. Doucets
negative evidence suffices to sweep away
yet another of the cherished Illusions that
pass for history James Gazette

A LIVING NET.
Peculiar Method of Fishing INDUCED In by |
Natives of Oceanica Islands.


Peculiar Method of Fishing INDUCED In by
Natives of Oceanica Islands.
A peculiar method of fishing is in
obliged in by the natives of Tetuila, one
OF the islands of Oceanica. At given sig
nal the inhabitants of the village assemble
on the seashore, to the number of about
200 persons, each of whom carries branch
OF cocoa palm. With these in their hands
they plunge into the yvater, and at GER
tain distance from the shore turn toward
1t, forming compact half circle, each
one holding his palm branch perpendicu-
larly in the water, and thus forming a
sieve.
The leader of the party then gives sig
nal, and this living net approaches the
shore gradually in perfect order, driving
before it multitude of fishes. Surround
ed by this living wall and entangled in the
cocoa palm branches many Of the fishes
are cast on the sand by the waves, while
others are killed with sticks. After being
cooked over hot Goals the fish are served
with bananas and cocoanut milk.
The scene as described by Frenchman
who recently visited the island was inter-
esting and picturesque in the extreme, the
effect being immensely heightened by the
appearance of the natives, whose costume
consists of a short tunic of seaweed or
leaves. Their hair is powdered with chalk,
while the warriors are distinguished by
the hair being powdered red. Wreaths of
gardenias or red hibiscus are worn on
their heads, also round their necks.-Phil-
adelphia Times
