SOME SINGULAR MISTAKES.

We still hear occasionally the voice
that asphalt is the best material for
street pavements. We have become
rather accustomed to it by this time,
but it is singular that those who
cherish this doubt do not advance
some arguments that are not open
to instant refutation. Here, for ex-
ample, comes the Minneapolis Times
with quotations from some unnamed
New York experts who ''have grave
doubts about the availability of as
phaIt as a paving material. The
source of their painful uncertainty is
twofold The first is that it is met
at all fitted for the heavy trucking of
a large and commercial city" This
is really too bad. The streets of
London, those which carry the heav-
lest traffic in the known world, are
paved with asphalt and it seems to
stand all demands upon it aSit
mirably. We imagine it will still be
some time before Seventh street in
st. Paul or Nicollet avenue in Min
neapolis will carry as heavy travel
as Cheapside or Fleet street. Still
the Times and it's experts say that
the travel of New York would be
fatal to asphalt in a short time. By
what magic has London been able
to make it's pavements permanent
and satisfactory in every way? 8,
An even more amusing objection is
one urged from sanitary point of
view. 1t is said that there is great
danger to health from the exhala-
tons given out by matter that has
saturated the soil below the surface.
Seal up the broad streets with as
phalt and the vapors find vent in the
cellars of buildings to infect the food
and vitiate the air of the occupant"
This is even worse than the argu-
ment that a material that wears well
in London will not stand the wear
and tear of travel in the United
States. No matter what the surface

pavements intended to be durable

A DAUGHTER
Born to the Grand Duchess Xenia,
and the Czarina of Russia Is a
GRANDMOTHER.
Chicago Record.

Chicago Record.
Czarina Marie, mother of the present
emperor OF Russia, has just become a
grandmother for the first time through
the birth of a girl to her eldest daugh-
ter, the Grand Duchess Xenia. The
latter, who bears a most striking re-
semblance to her universally popular
mother, was the favorite child Of the
late Alexander Ill, and benefited more
than any of her brothers and sisters
by the terms of his will. Her marriage
Immediately preceded the serious out
break of the autocrat's illness, the
festivities in connection with the cere-
mony being overshadowed toward the
close by the condition of his health.
Her husband is we'll known in this
country, which he visited at the time
of the worlds fair as an officer of the
Russian squadron.
Like all feminine members of the
imperial family, the infant grand
duchess will receive on the occa sion
of her baptism the co1onelcy of some
cavalry or infantry regiment, and at
the same time be solemnly invested
with the star and ribbon of the Order
of st. Catherine. They say that of
late Czarina Marie has aged greatly in
appearance by grief for the death of
he. husband and anxiety for her sec
ond son, George. But until year ago
she looked far more like the twin sister
or her nlneteen-year-old daughter than
her mother, and it is even now difficult
to think OF her as being a grandmother.

CHEAPER ALCOHOL.
A New and Cheap Method of OBJ
tanning 1t Discovered.

M. Maissan, the noted French cleo
trician, expects to revolutionize the
distillation Of alcohol, says the Phil
adelphia Record. He has discovered
an inexpensive method of obtaining
alcohol from acetylene, which is the
new gas that came to the front so
prominently a few months ago as a
probable substitute for ordinary il
Elimination gas, owing to its cheap
ness. M. Moissan pursues the same
method of producing the acetylene
gas by subjecting quantity of coke
and quicklime to the heat of an
electric furnace in order to affect a
direct union of their elements and
produce calcium carbide, which de-
compoSeS when thrown in water into
acetylene. Acknowledgement sui
phate absorbs this gas, and by the
aid of heat transforms it into ethy-
Iene, The ethylene is passed into hot
sulphuric acid, and sulphovinie acid
is obtained, which, by the addition of
boiling water, produces the alcohol
that then only demands rectification.
The cost of best quality alcohol pro-
.duced by this method is stated to be
from five to six cents per quart.

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ~

An investigation of the drainage
canal now under construction to af-
ford an outlet for the sewage of. Chi
cago reaches the conclusion that the
effect of the work, when completed
and in operation, will be to lower the,
level of Lake Michigan, and prob
ably that of Lake Huron, to the
extent of not over six inchess This
is the contention of the Chicago peo-
a mere trif1e. A difference of six
inches in the level of the great lakes
would not, they hold, have any per-
ceptible effect upon the interests of
navigation. The level of the lakes
varies, we are told, by this amount
or more, with different seasons, and
boats and docks are so constructed
as to accommodate themselves to
such fluctuations. This evades the
point altogether. The drainage canal
will not simply lower the lake level
six inches at some time, with a
prospect of it's restoration, but will
permanently affect the average level
by that amount. Thus navigation
must prepare itself, during a sea-
son of low water in the lakes, for
six inches less in all the harbors and
lake passages than the lowest on
record.
This is serious matter. We must
remember that this estimate of six
inches is at best only a guess. When
the water of the great lakes is pour
ing through it to flush the sewers of
Chicago, the actual result may be
difference of one foot or two feet for
all that anybody actually knows.
AT the moment when the construc-
ton of a deep waterway between
the head of the lakes and the sea-
board is a live topic, and when con-
gress will be asked to appropriate
tional public work, local enterprise
is to be permitted to so draw upon
the water of the lakes that an in
definite amount of extra money may
have to be- expended in deepening
channels to make UP for the def
cheney. The interests of the whole
country are to be placed at the
mercy Of the Chicago authorities,
who desire a cheap and expeditions
method of settling it's sewage ques-
ton.
1t must be borne in mind, too, that
this proposition to endanger a ma
tional work rests upon a method of
sewage disposition which the expe-
rience of all cities has demonstrated
to be improper. The great cities of
Europe have been experimenting for
generations with this problem of
sewage disposal. In no instance has
it ever been satisfactorily and finally
solved by dumping the sewage bodily
into channel or harbor of any
kind. Within ten years from this
time we venture to predict that no
city calling itself civilized will be
satisfied unless it has a plant for
sewage filtration. The great enter
prise on which Chicago is spending
millions, and to which it proposes
to sacrifice the interests of our inter-
nal waterways system, is vicious in
principle and will be offensive in
practice. If the people of Chicago
insist upon wasting their money on
such an enterprise, that is none of
our affair. They should not, how
ever, be permitted on any plea to
carry it out at the cost of lower
ing the level of the great lakes. Con-
gress, which has full power in the
premises, should take action to pre-

o.,s;,,ors demanded by Great Britain
involved such concessions that Venezuela
could not agree to them without abandon
ing her position.
Not until 1850 was anything like an
agreement reached. This was effected in
the so called agreement of 1850. Beth
,arties agreed neither to occupy nor
attempt to occupy the territory in dis
nnte till some final adjustment of the
boundary lines should be made. In the
forty five years that have since elapsed
the Entertainments of England have car
ried her pretensions farther and farther
westward. The Schomburgk line has been
so far exceeded that 1t is now ancient his
tory Since 1887 diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries have been alto
gether broken off. Venezuela has tried to
have the question submitted to arbitra-
ton, being rather willing to take half
loaf than lose it all, but England refuses
to leave the subject of the territory west
of the Schomburgk line subject to arbitra
ton. If that territory is eliminated from
the scope of settlement arbitration would
be simply useless. Our own Congress,
acting simply as a friendly power, recom-
mended arbitration. To the United
States, England, after shifting the respon-
sibility for refusal to arbitrate to the
shoulders of Venezuela, responded:
That the subject matter is one between
Great Britain and Venezuela, so that the
good officers of the United States are not
regarded as essential to a settlement, as 1T
is not understood that the United States
has assumed a protectorate over Venezuela
or has other interests than those of
friendly power
Such an assumption is nonsensical.
England knows it as well as anyone. She
has not the slightest reason to fear arbi-
tration. She knows that the Schomburgk
line Is as much in dispute as any other,
that just as good grounds exist for arbi-
trating that as any other feature of the
encroachments Simple justice demands
arbitration and it is the duty Of this
country to prevent England from con-
tinuing her manifest policy of encroach-
ment in that country.
