TO RECLAIM THE STREET.
MayoraWanser Wfshe % TO Gust the
Railroad Company.


The Finance Commissioners at onavo
"ansers suggestion are going 10 make
an effort to reclaim that part of Thir.
teentn street, near the river front. The
Delaware, Lackawanna and Westerr
railroad is now in almost complete pos.
session, but IT'S right to remrain so is 4
question that the officials want deter.
mined as soon as practicable.
Several years ago the Supreme Court
decided that the company had no RICH
to m~onopolize the street with ITS tracks
1t was accordingly cleared. Subsequent
Jarvis & Co. located their tobacco works
on the street, and after erecting a fine
building secured permission from the civ
TO pave the street to the river front al
their own expense.
Immediately after the laying off pave
ment began the railroad company in the
n1ght laid TWO sets OF tracks in the street,
one on either side. Its counsel, the late
Ex-Governor Joseph .. Bedle, then Sc
cured an injunction Restraining Jarvis e
co. from interfering with the tracks. Con
slaerapIe testimony was taken in the
case, and then the proceedings were Drop
PEG; nnally being practically abandoned
with thed death of Ex-Governor Bedle. Cor
portion Counsel has now been directed
70 ascertain the status of that suit and
nave 1t pushed to a conclusion with all
the speed practicable.
mayer Wanser is anxious to have the
company busted, believing that with the
street opened to the river front 1t VIII be
g mauter of only a short time when a new
ferry will be established there. and car
INES run to 1t. This, with the new via
duct, which affords easy communicates
with the Heights, would, he believes. re-
SUIT in the development of now idle tracts
OF land, and might be a big inducement
to New Workers Ito come here and invest
money in residences on the Heights.
The property owners along Thirteenth
street are ready to lend all the assistance
possibles financially and otherwise. to
have the lower end of the street rid CT
the car tracks, so that it win be possible
to bring about Improvements to property
by the operating of new ear lines and
possibly a ferry.

SAND SERPENTS.
The Terrible Whirling Sand Storms of
Central Asia

Central Asia
This name was given by an imagin-
ative traveller to the wonderful col
umns of whirling sand that are so fire.
quently seen on the great plains of CEN
trail Asia.
Fancy what a terrible country to jour
pey through, For miles and miles one
unbrol<en stretch of dreary sand,
nothing to break the monotony, moth
ing to rest the eyes, unless one of these
fantastic exhibitions, which, knowing
the discomfort and the danger, trav-
eler would rather not see, takes place.
The first signal is puff of wind, fol-
lowed by various slight disturbances in
the loose soil roundabout; then it blows
harder, and, as if a legion of evil things
had been called from the center of the
earth, tiny columns of sand lift them
selves and grow larger and rise higher
and higher. like the misty giant Sim
bad the Sailor loosed from the great
caldron he found in the sea.
These columns have the form of ser
penis, and all the waving sinuous mo-
tions of those terrible creatures. Some
times they will rise to a height of so,
60, and, if we may believe the testi-
mony of some writer's, over 200 feet.
They sweep over immense stretches,
sometimes singly, sometimes in groups
gathering size and force as they go, and
then, as the wind lowers, diminish, and
dwindle into nothingness.
But for the terror of being caught
in one of these sandstorms, and being
| blown and beaten about, and having
one's sight and hearing almost de-
stroyed, the phenomenon would be al
| most as grand as any in nature. One
could fancy the evil spirits of the world
at play, writing. twisting, wrestling
and exercising their mighty strength

Hunting Wild Geese without Gun Pow

To go Oh wild goose hunt without
gun would seem very singular pro-
oeeding anywhere except in the Falk-
land islands; but here such n weapon is
lot necessary, as the young men and
boys use An equally effective projectiia
called the bird bolas, which is made Of
the knucl<le bones of cattle
That employed in the capture of wild
horses is made of three stone balls, con-
Hected by sinews four or five feet IN
length. A similar bolas is found among
the Esl>imos, the balls being of ivory
carved from the tusk of walrus.
n young goose hunter whom the
writer watched one day crawIed slowly
along between the tussoc<s, occasional
~ raising upon his hands and knees to
glance cautiously at the big white geese
which f1oated on the lake. There were
at least so.
Step by step he erawleti, crouching
low, until, peering through the tussock
grass, he found himself within $50 feet
of the flock. Between him and the
game was large cluster of grass or
weeds, which he finally reached.
The hunter arranged his bolas, taking
the small ball in his right hand and
swinging the OCncE5 over his le1G
all ready to throw, then plunged care
fully into the grass
Slowly he worked his way until he
could see the geese through the green
and yellow screen, barely 100 feet away;
then dashed from his cover and ran
down the little island shore at full
speed, and before the astonished geese
could recover, he was almost among
them.
They scurried off in every direction,

two balls around his head with a slight

Faster they few until finally they dis

being fille1 with geese, he released the
Eal1 in his hand and the remarkable
weapon with its three balls widely
stretched in opposite directions, yet
whirling violently around, went whist

TnE OLD FRIENDS.

We loved when we were young.

And zatIsic on their tongue!
The bees a1e Ia the elmopd-fower.
The birds renew their strain:
BCt the Cd friends. once lost to us,
Can never come again.
The old friends. she old friendsI
Their brow is lined with care:
They've burrows In the faded cheek.
And silver in the hair:
But to they are the old friends STILL
In youth and bloom the same
As when we drove the flying ball,
Or shouted in the game
The old men. the old men.
How slow they creep alongI
How 1.anghtiIy we scoffed a them
In days when we were yopngt
Their pressing and their doing.
Their prate of times gone by.
Their shiver like aspen leaf
L but breath went by.
But we. we are the old men now.
Our blood is faint and chill:
WE Cannot leap the mighty brook,
Or climb the breaknecx hill
We r1aur,1e- down the shortest cuts.
We rest on stick or stile.
And the young men, half ashamed to laugh,
Yet pass us with a smile.
BUT the young men. the young men.
Their strength IS fair to see:
The straight back. and the springy stride.
The eye as falcon free:
They shout above the frolic wind
As Up the hill they go;
But though SO high above US now,
They soon shall be low.
o weary, weary drag the years
As life draws near the end
And szacis, sadly fall the tears
For loss OF love and friend.

The Cocoanut Crab.

The cocoanut crab is one of the odd
est specimens of the whole crab family.
He lives in the South islands, and makes
diet of cocoanuts. This species has
a pair of front legs terminated with a
strong pair of pinchers, and it is with
these that he husks the nuts and breaks
through the weakest portion of the
shell. The crab begins by tearing the
husk, fiber by fiber, and always at the
end where the eSeholes of the nut are
situated, that being the weakest place
in the shell. When the husk has been
removed the crab commences hammer
ing the she'll with his heavy claw, and
soon makes an opening, through which
he extracts the meat of the nut Mr.
Darwin, writing of this crab, says: Il
think this is as curious case of in
stinct as I ever heard of, especially in
structures so remote from each other in
the scheme of nature as cocoanut and
crab.''-Detroit Free Press
