Quinn of the u. s. Engineers.
Maj. Quinn, United States engineer in
charge Of the lighthouses of the New Or
leans district, has just returned from Port
Eads and the jetties. He insists, after a
most careful examination, that the lower
delta and the sea marshes along the Gulf
Of Mexico are slowly sinking. For more
than year experiments with tide gauges
have been in progress at the mouth of the
Mississippi River and as a result Maj.
Quinn has reached the conclusion that
the level of the gulf has been raised one
foot since 1877. This the Major attrib-
utes to a gradual, though irregular, sub
sidence of the land along the coast and,
he believes, throughout the Mississippi
delta, New Orleans and the southern por-
ton of Louisiana.

Act Like Hungry Wolves.

John A. Mccall, president of the New
York Life Insurance Company, in speak
ing of the craze over the Katfir mining
shares in London, Paris and Berlin, said:
THE mad rush for shares in the South
African mines by London investors was
the most astonishing thing in the way of
speculation L have ever seen. The pur-
chasers were like so many hungry wolves
who could not be fed fast enough. There
seemed to be very little effort on the part
of the investors to make inquiries about
what they were buying. Everybody was
buying. and everybody did what every
body else was doing. remember one in
stance. The so-called king of the KAT
frs Barney Barnato, who was once, l
believe, a circus performer, announced in
London the opening of new mine in the
Transvaal called the Coffin 1t was,
/ believe, about seven feet long and four
feet deep. No one in London knew any
thing about the mime but the shares
were put upon the market and in no time
they were ut fal1alous premium. OF
course, this is merely public speculation,
and il is only a matter of time when the
bubble will burst. When the reaction
sets in it will be, in my opinion, in favor
of American securities. Financiers in
London are already beginning TO turn

COMPOsITB BUT UNTIITELY.

COMROhlI.h bO v OQN lAAH b AA
 The Register has been in the statue business a long time and knows all its ins and outs. So it is not surprising to find 1t advocating the addition of another statue to New Haven's art col lection. This time 1t is not satisfied with asking for a statue that shall htly commemorate the public services of any one man. It wants a composite statue that will serve to keep in mind the good work done by the Committee of Thirty which fixed things so that New Haven will not fall into the trap set for it by some very skillful trappers.
 The Registers composite idea is thoroughly in keeping with its habitual and generous recognition of public spirit There is also abundant scope for Art in its idea, A composite statue that would fitly illustrate the mental and moral qualities of the men and the measures necessary to knock out the combined strength and skill of the Register, Brother States and the other new charter makers would indeed hold much manly beauty, grace and pow er." It should indeed be of heroic size, and it should indeed "be placed upon base broad enough to hold a weighty object and solid enough to withstand the storms of ages" But hasn't the Register forgotten something? Does it remember that there is even now in New Haven a Work of Art of the statuary or bustuary kind seeking a suitable site? Does it remember that this Work of Art was largely due to its own ideas and efforts, and that the fact that the Work still seeks a suitable site is also largely due to the same? Does it think that it would at the pres ent time be justified in plunging the city of New Haven and perhaps also the county commissioners into another such controversy as that which Is not yet ended? Would it not be better to wait until a suitable site Is found for the Lewis memorial before advocating a composite memorial that would also need suitable site? Is 1t not possible, and even probable, that memorial of 8 composite character would breed even more disturbance than has been bred by the other memorial? In view of this possibility and probability, and in con- sideration of the fact that New Haven has about as many discussions on hand as she has capacity to deal with we hope the Register will not urge it's com positeidea just now. The Register should remember that though it is no more for it to throw out an idea even of com posite character than 1t is for an iron foundry to throw out spark there is a limit to the power of the community to digest ideas.

SUPERIOR FACILITIES.

As we haven't had anything to say
 about our Superior facilities since we | gave an initiative toot" 0 year ago, we fear that somebody or other may get the notion that we are falling be- hind those of our esteemed contempora- \ ries who keep their horns going full blast whether they sell any clams CT not. So we will call the attention of 1 the public to the superiority of the Journal and Courier as an advertis-
 ing medium, and give proof of the same. | Yesterday an advertisement was
 brought to this office with the hope that 1t would result in the restoration to
 home and friends of a much-prized and ] dearly-loved cat. Tn less than three hours from the time the advertisement
 was brought in, and before it was put
 in type, the cat came back.
 Now what we want to say is, if the
 mere order to put an advertisement in the journal and Courier" for the re- turn of a lost cat will induce said cat to find itself before the advertisement is even printed, what must be the effect
 of an advertisement duly printed and circulated? We suppose that if that cat advertisement had been printed the yard of the advertiser would have been full of cats by seven o'clock this morn ing. and the advertiser could have had
 his own cat and the pick of thousands of other cats. This might have made
 him some trouble, and so our superior facilities were put in operation and they
 brought him back his own cat without
 delay, trouble or cost. Of course we lost a little money by the deal, but we | did it just to show our esteemed com temporaries and advertisers what our
 Superior facilities would enable us to do.
 The moral of this cat tale is like the
 moral that you always find at the tail
 end of descriptions of the Superior fa- cilities" of our esteemed contempora-
 ries. Advertise in the Journal and
 Courier" We can bring your cat back
 and we can bring business to you if
 your advertisements are only hung on
 the copy hook and then withdrawn. But if you want all the cats there are and all the business there is, let your
 advertisements take their full course.
 Then you will have your hands full and
 be even more impressed by our "supe- rior facilities" than you will be if you
 are contented with the coming back of one cat and the moderate amount of
