The White House Crowded with Asplrants

WASHINGTON, March 0.--The rush to
the white house yesterday morning was
participated in principally by those in.
tent on placing the question Of the
offices and other matters before the
president. The people at the outer
doors were told that the president
would hold public reception at three
o'clock, and this had the effect of keep
ing back the general crowds. The
president was at his desk at nine o'clock,
after he had seen his venerable mother
off for trip to Mount Vernon.
One of the early callers was Col.
John Hay, who Is most spoken Of for
ambassador to Great Britain. He had
a brief talk with the president and
then gave way to Senator Wolcott, of
Colorado, who saw the president for
the first time since his return from Eu-
rope. The call lasted Is minutes, and
is understood to have given opportu-
nifty for brief talk on Mr. Wolcott's

Greece Replies Firmly to Europe's Demand.
for Withdrawal of Troops
LONDON, March 9.-The reply of
Greece to the Identical notes Of the
powers delivered at Athens last Tues
day and insisting upon the withdrawal
OF the Greek troops from Crete and of
the Greek fleet from Cretan waters was
received here yesterday. 1t is concilia-
tory in tone. fully recognizing the
aims Of the powers. 1t offers to with
draw the Greek fleet from Cretan
waters and, while pointing out that
1t is impossible to withdraw the Greek
troops from the island of Crete, 1t
will offer to place them under the
control of the powers to restore
order, and it meets tho statement
about the Cretans really preferring
autonomy by suggesting that the
Cretans be allowed to choose their own
government by an election. A cabinet
council was Immediately held, after
which the marquis of Salisbury went
to Windsor to consult the queen.
There was great animation at the for
eign office, nearly every ambassador
calling during the day.

1t is a hopeful portent of the future

1t is hopeful portent Of the future
that our people are giving much at.
tention to conservation of storm
waters, not only as an additional
source Of water supply but for in.
creased humidity and hetterment Of
climatic conditions. 1t is conceded
that if Lake Superior was located in
the center Of the territory bounded
by the Rocky Mountains, the Mis-
souri,, British America and the Gull
we would have increased dews,
evaporation and rainfall. But in the
absence Of any such body of water
exposed to evaporation it is proposed
to secure the same results by i'm
pounding the storm waters through a
system Of many thousands, perhaps
millions, Of catch basins, storage
reservoirs, artificial lakes and ponds
throughout this vast region. While
the development Of this stupendous
enterprise will depend largely on in.
dividual effort, the government is not
altogether Indifferent. The geologi-
cal department has spent now more
than score of years making surveys,
typographical maps, affecting many
millions Of acres Of land, and locating
reservoir sites in the mountain re-
gions and more western states. Their
selections are now awaiting the nee
essary appropriation to become an
actual and important factor in the re-
elimination Of the arid West. And no
more wise craftsmanship could be en-
acted by congress than to supplement
this work by the necessary aid. The
interests to be affected by such an act
are manifold and Of great Importance.
In addition to increased water supply
and climatic improvement many
thousands Of idle men would find en-
ployment by impounding and holding
back the storm waters on tributary
streams. The disastrous floods Of
the lower Mississippi would be avert
ed and the necessity for large appro-
priations for protection of that region
practically eliminated and by the
gradual percolation of these same
stored waters seeking their natural
channels in periods Of drouth a better
stage OF waters would be maintained
in our navigable streams to the great
advantage and encouragement of in
terstate commerce. The solution of
his whole question on basis for per-
nanent prosperity in the West re-
solves itself into a subdivision of our
anded estates into small holdings,
~ the adoption of a system of more
intense and diversified farming, by
broader expansion of the creamery
industry and stock-growing interest,
~ the conservation and use of storm
waters, by the development Of the
'nderflow and by the construction Of
irrigation plants wherever and when
yer practicable.
When these several factors are
developed as they will be,
he arid West and more humid East
s well will have reached the acme OF
gricultural possibilities, and our
'eerless commonwealth will command
Ter true rating as a region Of first
Importance in the agricultural world.

considered as the most glorious period in the entire history of Great Britain if one is to judge by the growth of the area, the population, and above all of the wealth of that empire upon which the sun never sets.
 The population of the United King dom alone has well-nigh doubled as has also the number of her majesty's lieges in India and in her colonial depend encies, the grand total of those who now accord her 8 willing allegiance, amounting to the colossal figures of 920, ,000, ,000 In 1887 the area of the Brit ish empire~amounted to 2,000,0 1000 square miles, whereas to-day it is five times that size, it's superfcies exceeding 10,- 000,000 square miles. The aggregate property of the people of the United Kingdom, calculated on the basis of the income tax figures, has trebled in the last 60 years, as has also the revenue of the state, while the advance in the foreign trade of Great Britain during the same period has been more than 450 per cent.
 The output of coal to-day is exactly 25 times as large as it was when her majesty ascended the throne, and whereas, at that moment, the annual consumption of cotton barely exceeded 4,000,0oo pounds, the returns for the last year show consumption of more than four times that amount. And all this addition in land, in wealth and in population has been acquired not by great and sanguinary conflicts and cam paigns, but during reign that on the whole may be described as the most peaceful in English history.
 Indeed, it is this absence of those big wars, which contribute so much to ob- struct the progress and to impair the prosperity of the nations involved therein, that must be regarded as ac- countable for the phenomenal develop ment of Great Britain's wealth, indus try, trade and enlightenment = espe- cially the last. It is colossal task even to attempt to enumerate the changes that have taken place nince Victoria be- came queen.

THE SPONGE
Difficulty in Assigning It the Proper
 Place in Mattress Catalogue.


 Place in Nnture's Catalogue.
 It would be for many persons a rather difficult thing, without taking any time for consideration, to assign to the sponge it's exact position in nature- Vegetable, some would hesitatinglv pro1 nounce it; others would find it hard to believe that it was of animal origin; while a few might fall into the same error as the old parish clerk who, hav- ing to arrange a miscellaneous collec- ton of articles lent for an exhibition in the village schoolroom, placed some fine sponges, contributed by a local natural ist, in the section devoted to "Manufac- tured Goods" A similar mistake was made some time ago by the clerks in a government office, who styled the firm Sponge Manufacturers" in addressing a letter upon some departmental busi- ness. Like coral, sponge is the natural product of a marine animalcule, being the elastic fibrocellular membrane which serves as an investing layer for the organic part of the sponge. The sponge brought up alive from the rocks, to which it adheres at the bottom of the sea, is very different looking article from that which we are daily accus- toned to. It is then covered by an outer membrane, in which the pores ap- pear or disappear, apparently under the control of the living organic portion contained within Upon being cut into sections the sponge is found to bear, some resemblance to raw beef, inter- sected by tubes and cavities, lined throughout with glutinous substance known in natural history as ''sarcode," a term (derived from a Greek word sig nifying "feshlike') applying to the lowest forms of animal organisms. It is of grayish-brown color, and has the consistency of treacle. This sareode, then, is the only live part of the sponge; while the membrane already referred to is practically it's skeleton, and it is this latter part which we are acquainted with The animal structure derives its nourishment from the stream of water constantly entering the numerous ex- ternal pores, and distributed through out the sponge by means of the small intestitial canals, carrying along with it the food of the sponge in the forns of minute particles of animal and yege- table matter.-Health News.

 Both MT. Gladstone and Mir yilliers witnessed the queens coronation from that portion of Westminster abbey re- served for the accommodation of the members of the first parliament of the present reign.
 With these four notable exceptions, all those who stood near the sovereign during the first moiety of her occupancy of the throne have departed for an other world, preceding her to that land from whence no trayeler-not even the "Anointed of the Lord"-ever returns. The archbishop who crowned her, the ministers and statesmen from whom she sought counsel in her youthful in experience, the great soldier, Arthur, duke of Wellington, who, performing the functions of lord high constable of the realm, carried the great sword of state before her, nay, even the very titled maidens who bore her train, all
