began to be tormented with the dread
full apprehension that the time would
soon come, when they must dive into

growing expenses. The western mem
bers were charged in private circles,
with an industrious intimation of enor-
nous expenses which the present cir
cumstances of the new settlement made
indispensable.

Good Night! Good Night =,

Familiar use has robbed it of its sig

putting off from time to time upon an

the perils Of the night, whatever they
may be, we take no heed. An unsleep-

lieves that the plant may be turned to
most valuable account in this country.
1t is very prolific and bears ears of
huge dimensions. The species is quite
distinct from any known in North
America, and the name Zea amylacea
has been given to it. All of our corn
comes under the head of Zea mais.
Professor E. L. Sturtevant is now max
ing a study of this remarkable Peru
vean cereal, with view to finding out
how it may be cultivated most advan-
tageously.
The grains are extraordinarily
starchy, even for corn; hence the name
amylacea. Already ten distinct varie-
ties of the species have been ascer-
tanned. One of them would probably
be excellent for canning, inasmuch as
it contains an unusual percentage Of
sugar. 1t has been named Zea amy
lacea saccharata. Undoubtedly the
species is derived from the same source
as the maize of the United States. All
known varieties of this cereal, 1t is be-
lieved, came originally from the Zea
tunicata, or clothed" corn. which

Course OF the Missouri.

Michael Vincent, a professional en-
gineer an draughtsman # Onawa, Ia,
has had the happy thought to plot the
course of the Missouri in 1904, as laid
down in the manuscript journals of
Lewis and Clark, at least for the low
portion Of the river. A few blue prints
Of this map are in private circulation.
The plotting possesses an extraordinary
interest and no small photographed
value, inasmuch as it includes the Uni
ted States survey of 1852 and the county
survey of April, 1894, and thus exhibits
the changes in the stream at two inter-
walls of approximately forty five years.
The antics of this mighty river in al
luval soil are almost incredible, one

In the "Woman's Edition.
Which was sent on to me,
They have sung thy sweet praises,
My own Tennessee.
Had | known of its coming
l would have called up my muse,
Just to tell you love you,
If my style you'd excuse.
Among the fair writers
Some schoolmates l find,
Who nobly have spoken
OF their mother and mine,
Like an old faded battle flag,
That is battered and torn
BY the shell and the shot,
Till all beauty is gone.
So the scars that were left
By our own cruel war,
On thy cities and homes,
Did thy lovliness mar.
But, unlike the battle flag,
You'll retrieve what is past;
For your children are loyal,
And your resources are vast.
Your ranges and mountains
Are rich in timber and coal,
Iron, copper and lead,
And deposits of gold.
Travelling throughout our fair land,
Or in the countries over the sea,
Hearts swell with pride when we find
The marble of East Tennessee.
Your soil and climate are fine,
Your scenery lovely and grand;
So-called by many tourist:
"America's Switzerland"
You have high mountain peaks,
Where the clouds float below,
A reminder of heaven,
Where no sorrow can 90.
Your country all dotted with springs,
Clear, health-giying and cold,
Typify the Water of Life,
To be found in "the home of the Soul.'
Your warm-hearted people love,
No scenery so pleasing to me;
For by birth Pm one of your own,

A WONDERFUL LIGHT,
1t Has a Power Equal to ESQ, OOO, 900
Candles.

From Spare Moments.
In the lamphouse of the government
lighthouse station at Tompkinsville. Staten
Island is housed the most wonderful light
in the world. The light itself stands if
teen feet high, the face of its bull s-eye is
rine feet across and its lenses are as much
four inches thick. 1t Is capable of
flashing a ray Of light equivalent to the
power of 25O,0O0,0U candles and the dis
lance from which 1t can be seen on clear
nights is practically limited only by the
curvature Of the earth. The flash will
have the intensity and binding glare Of a
stroke of lightning.
That part of the light which revolyes
weighs fifteen tons and SO exquisite is the
mechanism by which it is moved that the
pressure of fingers will turn it. child
could control the machinery, and the mo-
tive power which propels 1t is a single bit
of clockwork incased in a box two feet
square.
The light consists of two concave discs
about eight and one-half feet in diameter.
These discs are placed back to back
about foot apart and in position look
like tremendous double convex magnifying
lenses. SO large that they could not be
cast in two single pieces and had to be
built up in segments, and the whole strung
together on a great iron skeleton. And
this, in point of fact, is precisely the case.
Back to back, the lenses inclose a hol-
low interior, into winch Is thrust pow
erful electric light. This light of itself is
about 1000 candle power. When it's light
is projected through these huge magni-
flying prisms its power is intensified more
than 5000 times.
1t is altogether beyond the human imag-
nation to grasp the possible effect of 25O-
100000 candles, which is the illuminating
power of this new lighthouse wonder. At
the present time the finest Oil lamp which
ingenuity has been able to devise may be
seen q clear night some thirty-f1ye or
forty miles at sea. The new light may
be seen at point 12O miles away.

seems the people Of Buluwayo are suffering
from a similar grievance. A few inches
of leather fappings grit about his loins

Collection and Disposal of Garbage
and Dead Animals.
Under the authority contained in the last
appropriation act for the District, the Com
missioners have Cancelled, by consent of the
contractor, the then existing contract, and
entered into a new contract with Joshua n.
Warfield of Maryland to collect and incin-
crate all garbage in accordance with the
conditions of said act, for the sum OF $4,000
per annum.
They have also made certain regulations
prescribing necessary rules for household
ers in making garbage accessible, etc, to
which they have annexed suitable penalties
for violation of the same. A copy of said
contract and said regulations is contained
in the health officers report hereto appended.
After a careful investigation of the diff
ferent methods of garbage disposal by the
health officer and the Commissioners, incin-
GRAFTON was found to be the only perfectly
sanitary method in use in this country. and
The only one adapted to our present condi-
tfons
1t was found that neither the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company nor the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company would haul garbage
out of the city, and transportation by river,
owing to ice in winter and large excursion
travel in summer when garbage is most
offensive, has proven uncertain and unsat-
isfactory. Moreover should Washington be
visited by an epidemic of cholera or other
dangerous disease, we would not be permit
ted to deposit garbage in Virginia or Mary
land. and would therefore. be without any
method of disposing of our garbage a a time
when it would be most needed for the pro-
lection of the public health. Two crema-
tories OF most approved types will be erected.
One, the Brown furnace, located on the site
of the old reduction plant at the foot of
South Capitol street, is nearly ready for
operation, and furnace of the Smith type
will be erected in the northwest section.
The Commissioners believe they have Sc
lected the best system of disposal and are
pleased to note that the reports of recent in
vestigatton by the health authorities of Chi
cago and other cities confirm them in that
view. The contract Is the most stringent in
its requirements, and adequate system of
lines for enforcing the same, Of any of which
they have any knowledge. and the Commits
sioners believe we shall soon have model
garbage service.

The suit of the District against the Wash

finally decided in favor of the District
The Commissioners took possession of the
same on April 1, 1895.
At the urgent request of the farmers who
have used the square for hay and cattle
market many years, the Commissioners
have fitted it for use as a farmers whole
