FRY THE FAT.

Some holders of Cherry Island Marsh
property have big scheme afoot After
pleading inability to keep their own
banks in repair. end asking the city and
county for pecuniary aid on untaxed
property, these holders want to form a
trust to reclaim all the marsh land along
the Delaware river and bay. It looks
we'll on paper, but a company which can
not keep several hundred acres OF marsh
free from water is not calculated to dJ ke.
drain and reclaim the hundreds Of
thousands Of acres Of Sweet" and "sour"
marsh within the state limits.
Il is proposed, as an experimental
step, to drive piles along the entire front
Of the Cherry Island Marsh dyke These
piles are designed 20 be sufficiently high
TO be free from overflow during tho high
est tides Oil bags. so placed as to meet
the waves. are TO be suspended from the
tops of the piles. The beating Of the
waves against the bags will cause the oil
to exude, thereby breaklng the force Of
the water.
It is a great scheme-on paper-and
the outlook is encouraging 10 the oredu
lous We would suggest. that City Coun-
Gil ard the Levy Court provide two gal
Ions of oil TO give the boom greater i'm
petus.
II the Cherry Island Marsh Company
really means business-that is business
not confined to paper-it should contract
with the Crescent Pipe Line which has
pipes running to Marcus Hook, to lay q
branch pipe along the shore from a point
where the twelve-mile circle intersecti
the Delaware river on the north, to the
southern state boundary line on Fenwick'
Island. The branch pipe could be per-
forated all along the line and the gauge

Sugar Renners and Sugar Producers Are
Hard TO satisfy, and tho Finance Commit
tee Can Count Only on Narrow Margin.
Caucus to Strengthen Rules a FIzzle.
WASHINGTON, March lit is believed by
some members Of the senate finance COM
mittee that the bill will be presented TO the
full committee on Thursday They will
not say so positively, as the same men have
previously been of the opinion that the bill
might be presented today. Each time they
have been disappointed and so will not
promise anything definitely.
II is more apparent than ever that the
present difference in the committee is over
the sugar schedule, and that the contest is
between the redners on one hand and the
producers on the other If these differences
could be adjusted, the bill could be ereport-
ed at once.
1t Is believed that the representatives of
each interest feel that they are strong
enough 10 defeat the bill unless their terms
are acceded to, and have in pretty plain
terms so told members Of the committee.
The committee, when pressed by these
various interests, has indicated that the
men who represent them, failing to agree,
enay be made responsible for the defeat of
the bill when it comes before the senate.
The committee recognizes the narrow mar
gin which it has in the senate, and not be
ing sure Of a single vote of the Populist
senators they fear that two Democratic
senators would be able TO defeat the bill.
Bearing this in mind, there have been
many and important concessions made to
those senators who had interests to protect
in their different states. In this the COM
mittee has gone much farther than it felt
was Democratic doctrine and has based its
concessions on the ground that a bin Of
some kind, even if it was far above duties
which the committee would desire, would
be a step in the direction of tariff reduc-
ton, to be followed by further reductions
when they were not dependent upon such
a narrow majority.

4 Curious Phenomenon.

A most curious phenomenon-the action
of solids held in suspension in moving wa
ter-may he practically demonstrated, says
NJ. Gallois, by taking bottle of white
glass, about inches in diameter and with
q fat bottom, putting into it to the depth
of about one-fifth inch sorle fine and very
clean silcious sand, such as will not inter
fere with the transparency of the water,
filing the bottle with this and corking it
so as to exclude all air On giving the bot
tie a rapid movement of rotation around its
own axis, either by placing it on turn
table or by slspending it from previously
well twisted cord, all the sand will be pro
iected upon the cylindrical sides of the bot
tie by centrifugal force.
This rotation movement Of the bottle
will gradually communicate itself to the
water. progressing from the sides to the
axis, the rotation lasting as long as the
sand adheres to the cylinder AS soon as
the water turns with the same velocity as
the bottle containing it, the sand will, on
the bottle being suddenly stopped, at once
quit the sides and precipitate itself toward
the center of the bottle in the form of a
cloud, and then reasonable its particles on
the bottom in the form of Il cone, having
the same axis as the bottle, and being high
e. as the velocity of rotation is greater.
Finally, tic cone tlattens rs the velocity of
rotation grows less, until the slope of the
conical surface is the slope of equilibrium
of grains of sand in still water.-New York

The Colon and Its Uses.

A sen OF Horace Mann, who lives in Wash
ington, has an unusual fashion of signing
all documents. He is Mr.. b: Pickman
Mann aud is well known as writer. Mr..
Mann is Il graduate of Harvard and holds
al important position i'll the patent office.
The colon which follows the first initial
would be Greek to the wayfaring man, but
it is only symbol for Benjamin. Some
years ago the American Librarian associa-
ton, of which Mr.. Mann is q member, was
much exercised over some manner of alb
brcviatiug names SO as to decrease the
work Of cataloguing, which in large libra
ries is enormous. they adopted n list OF
common names of persons which should be
abbreviated by using the first letter of tne
name followed by "a colon. For the sake
OF consistency, and believing the custom
would DC good one, they adopted the fash,
ion.
The late Mr. Ben: Perlcy Poore, known
so long and so favorably in Washington,
used this style long before the company OF
learned librarians approved it. The list now
in use is IL large ore. Some OF the most COM
mon signs ere W: fer William; II: for
Henry, and j. for James. - Washington
