where peach and almond trees made pink
and white patches. Just across the val
ley the mountains were half-covered with
snow, but the air was warm from the sea,
and the sky was bright blue. So there
was excuse for his forgetting the bicycle
and thinking the world a place for ro-
nance.
A place for romance, but there can be
none without a woman. And there was
no woman.
He coasted down the incline of the di-
vide and made for the Monte road, by
tree-bordered by-ways and paths. There
was not a fake of dust in the splendid
air All kinds of picturesque, old-world
things ought to happen. In a garden of
this sort, man ought certainly not be
alone. Some nymph should come drip
ping and gAttering out of zanja; some
slender figure should push its way
through the high, green barley and the
fluffy branches of the peppers ana stand
beside him, He forgot the barbed-wire
fence between the barley field and the
road. The grasses and Towering weeds
and the peppers hid it, But the zania
rippled and purled on, the barley waved
in the wind from the sea, and the sun
CLEANED on an unnhabted world.
Then bell rang out, just ahead, by the
roadside. and the silence of the spring
high noon was filled with the voices of
children and young girls.
The woman entered the garden. She

But there would be no embarrassment
experienced in this, as New York, with its
20 miles of wharfage, could easily find
room for the navy headquarters
The water frontage, after the filling in
would be slightly curtailed. with New
York and Brooklyn united by land. the
river front would extend from the Battery
to approximately Hamilton Ferry Brook
Ign, running east and west, instead Of
north and south, and from Harlem to
Long Island City. The most careful cal
eulations of frontage would have to be
made before the work began. 1t might
be found so inexpensive that the work
would be carried above Wards Island so
inclosing it, and of course BlackwelPs Is
lana, too, which is further south in the
East river, would be completely inclosed
before Wards Island was reached.
For the sake of navigation the inventor
proposes to cut through Long Island be-
tween Flushing Bay and Grassy Bay. thus
opening up the interior to commerce and
oeneht1nS the sanitary condition of Long
Island. This would provide an outlet also
for the dammed-up waters of the East
river should the Harlem river prove mad
equate.
One of the points Immediately suggested
TO the inventor was the disposition of the
present Brooklyn Bridge, which cost Sl5,-
100000 and was the work of thirteen
years.

Curious Discovery In Florida

From the New York Evening Post.
Once, in attempting to force my way
through the thick bay cedar underbrush
Of one OF the smaller and outer keys of
the Florida reef, / suddenly broke into
an opening which had the appearance of
narrow street or trail. The brush was six
or eight feet in hight and remarkably thick
and the heat was intolerable. The branch
es and leaves which were interlaced form
ed perfect network, and gave shelter to
innumerable crabs. which had taken pos

blocked by several curious obstacles-a
succession Of webs stretched vertically
across the pathway at intervals of five or
six feet. They were of extraordinary
strength, and were thrown out and poised
in marvellous manner. In the center of
each Of these silken barriers clung huge
yellow spider, SO ugly and conspicuous

TINS basis of contemplation the work of

about O0,000,O00, but in return New York

worth of new land.
An interesting point comes in here in the
practical filling. The disposing of the
ashes of large city is always a difficult
question. In New York, Street Commits
sloner Waring has for some time kept the
refuse and ash cans separate, the latter to
be used for filling in purposes. This
could be obtained of the city free of
charge, and the expense of filling in re-
duced by just so much. Then too in MANY

will receive consideration at their hands.
The sheme is for increasing the size of
Manhattan Island and for uniting New
York and Brooklyn by land.

in the midst of matter-of-fact world and

he was care-free, and the last-and as

He had ridden through willow paths

Appellate DeciSi IL.

No. 1916. The Mexican Central
Railway company VS.. Samuel Coed
mau: appeal from Ell Paso county.
This is d suit wherein the plaintiff
sought to rec ,ver from appellant and
the Texas & Pacific Railway company
SI4, 406 damages for ejectiDg him from
the train of appellants. Verdict was
| FOR the plaiatiff for $1,000 against the
Mexican Central and in favor of
the Texas & Pacific Railway compa-
ny.
The facts appear that the Texas &
Pacific Railway company hal authority
to sell tickets from Fort Worth to the
Civ of Mexico over its own and the
Mexican Central line fer S25 40. This
was a less sum than charged for one
fare from Ell Paso to Mexico City.
Plaintiff lived a Ell Paso and wanted
to 90 with his wife to Mexico aud APP
piled to the agent of the TeXsS u Pa
cific at Ell Psso for two tickets from
Fort Worth to Mexico City end they
W. re furnished To him for SoO.9O. He
signed his own tickle and upon the ad-
vice of the agent that it WAS all right,
signed his own name to the tick ct for
his wife. He entered the train of 5p-
reliant at + Pas, aud presented his
ticke.s. They we're refused and he and
his wife ELECTED.
Held: 1t was error for the court to
charge that although you may think
the Texas Il Pacific railway had no au-
hority t sell such tickets and was the
intent of such company to defraud AID
Mexican Central company, such fraud
and want Of authO'i y wCu'd not pre-
vent plaintiffs recovery, unless you
fiud that he had knowledge of such
fraud and participated in it, because
from this cb ar2e the jury may have
been led TO believe that it Was not
enough that plant ifs knew of the ag-
ent's fraud, such knowledge would
have been knowledge Of a fraudulent
act and plein'iff's effort to use them
would Rave been participation therein.
The ticket of Mrs. Goodman signed By
her hus nd would not under the print
ed conditions thereon. entitle her to
passage unless the CONDUCTOR knew of
facts, nevertheless emitting her to pas
sage. The conductor would have been
warranted without such knowle dye in
ejecting her, but if such facts existed
knowledge and wound be liable.
The contract as evidenced by the
tickets WIS not conclusive. The evil
dence of Goodman was the only evil
derCe on this point and it was sufficient
to Justify the court in the holding that
she was entitled to passage on tie
ticket Any damage sought to be re-
covered fer injury to the vile should
have been admitted. The judgment in |
favor of tee Texas & Pacific company
is correct ard should not be distur bed. |
The evidence does not show the sale of
the tickets TO have been in VIOLATION of |
the int r-tate commerce act. This is |
not an action based on contri butory |
negligence, and it was error for the |
court to refuse 20 give charge asked, |
solely because cOntri butOry neRlie ence
was not pleaded. Tne,e is no merit in

social customs. At the close of the

audience who were in sympathy with
the work and willing to do all tn at they
could do to rise. Nearly the whole
congregation answered the apl cal.
The lecturer also asked for those
