the department of geology in the Uni
Versity of California, at Berkeley,
From quarries or outcrops where quar-
ries are possible, and where the stone
is fairly uniform, it is proposed to Sc
cure two blocks of stone-one a twelve
inch cube dressed differently on differ
ent faces to show the qualities of the
stone, and four-inch cube, similarly
dressed, for preservation in the college.
In cases where the rock has ornamen-
tai qualities and varies in texture and
color, as in the case of marble deposits,
several such blocks would be required
fairly to represent the prevailing char
aeteristics; and then there may be
cases where, owing to special struc-
lures, the stone will appear to better
advantage In the form of slabs or col
umns. These specimens, properly cut
by skilled operators, are to be made
part of the university's permanent eco
nomic exhibit, and such a collection
will, it is believed, be made of positive
practical value in determining the kind
of stone best adapted for constructive
purposes

borough, New Hampshire. Isaac c.
Thompson of that town received from
Spain a letter purporting to be- signed
by one Alfred Dias, an ex-Secretary of
General Weyler. Dias wrote that he
had offended Weyler and had been
forced to flee to London. With him,
the letter said, he took 935,000, and
had deposited it in "the London Bank"
To explain the telling of this interest
that he had married Caroline Thomp-
son, distant relative of the New
Hampshire man, and for that reason
appealed to him for assistance in turn

foods, and many who never touch such
things at home devour large quantities
or them on such expeditions. 1t has al
so been noticed how eagerly the guides
appropriate any sugar that may be left
over. At the instigaton of the Prus-
sian war office, Investigations have
been made recently with a special APP
paratus into the question whether the
consumption of small quantities of SUI
gar renders the tired muscles capable
of renewed exertion. In order to obtain
a practical result, the person who was
made the subject of the experiment was
kept totally ignorant of the object of
the experimenters. On one day sweet
liquid was administered containing
thirty grammes of sugar; on the next
day similar liquid, containing a suf-
ficient amount of saccharin to render it
indistinguishable from the other as re-
garded taste. After very large
amount of muscular work had been
performed, it was found that better re-
suits could be obtained on the days
when the sugar was given than on the
days when saccharin was given. The
blood had become very poor in sugar
In consequence of the severe muscular
effort, and the administration of a
comparatively small quantity of sugar
had markedly invigorating effect.
And it may be remarked that those
who bought Sugar when the Washing
ton people were said to be buying it
were well pleased with its tonic effect
on their spirits and pocketbooks.

which has disappeared from the life OF

pleasure felt in the sight of brilliant

Cloth capes lined with fur are worn

possess such you are sure to wonder
how ever any one gets along without
such comfort. But the much more

ornament, and coat of mosquito net

are. Here is dainty one in the accom-

THE BRITISH LOVE OF PRINCES.

1t is a positive fact, which to future
historians will seem incredible, that
readers by the half million are pleased
to know the movements of ladies and
gentlemen whose names they cannot
pronounce, and Of whose comparative
rank among each other they are entire
ly ignorant, judging 1t, usually, as they
do, by the fallacious index of the title,
which to them signifies that duke,
say, of Tetuan, is greater person than

translated for the newspapers, and

that any journal which was able to give
any special Information about these

Immediately add thousands to it's cir
culation, the single fact about them
which would be accounted wearisome

of European society. The readers VINO

1t is the funniest kind of curiosity,

A FIRE-FIGHTING DOG.

John Foley patted Mary affectionate-
lily on the head and remarked, She's
the greatest, dog you ever saw. Eth,
Mary? If call should come in now she
would be the first one to her post.
When that fire-gong rings Mary knows
it means run, and she stations her
self under the wagon" Mary belongs
to Capt. Raja's squad, which is station
ed on Poplar street, and she is as well
thought of as any member Of the squad,
as Capt. Raja has said many times.
Mary has been in the service for about
three years. Her mother, who was
known by the name of Fannie, and
whose reign preceded that of Mary,
saw about ten years service on the
Fire Department under Capt Raja, and
she is still to be seen at the Captains
headquarters. Fannie, the boys say,
has retired from active life and Is living
on a pension.
Mary goes to every fire that the
chemical responds to. In the time that

squad she has had some exciting eX-
periences and narrow escapes.
| She can climb a ladder almost
as rapidly as any of the men, and
whenever it is possible for her to be at
| their side, there she is. Not long since
there was fire on Market street When
the gong rang Mary took UP her station
under the wagon. She was at the scene
of the fire by the time the wagon got
there. The fire was in the garnet OF the
building, and leading to this garnet was
ladder. The firemen quickly assembled
this ladder. Mary was right there with
them. When they got ready to leave
they did so, but Mary hung back. They
missed her, and Capt Raja, along with
several Of his men started In search
for her. They remembered that she was
in the garnet with them fighting the fire
and looked in there for her. There was
Mary, scratching around in some old
rubbish, looking for fire, and she had
uncovered spark or two, but with
her feet she quickly extinguished them
One Of the most remarkable traits or
Mary's character is her affection for
her mother. Fannie is still endowed
with the old time love of adventure and
excitement, and brightens up when the
alarm gong rings. But she no longer
goes to fires. Mary Is responsible for
this fact. She had a hard time break
ing her beloved parent of the habit OF
going to fires, but she finally did so.
Even yet Fannie will get up and start
out on run with, the wagon, but Mary
drives her back She drags her mother
by limb and holds her, or runs in
front of her, and barks until the elder
dog returns. Then Mary joins the
squad.
Both Mary and Fannie have develop
ed the wonderful faculty of telling the
difference between the exercise bell
and the fire bell. At stated hours the
gong rings for the horses to be let out
of their stalls and to be hitched to the
wagon, Just as though they were going
to a fire. There is no difference between
this ringing and the ringing of a fire
alarm, but have learned to tell them
apart Mary will glance up at the in
dicator as though she was reading the
number there, and If it Is simply the
exercise bell ringing she will not move.

AND THE wheel RouIs ON.

Wheelmen in Chicago and other
places will be encouraged by the decis-
ion of Judge Tuley of that city that
the ordinance concerning licensing BIZ
cycles imposes not a license, but a tax
and that as many wheel owners already
pay tax on bicycles as personal prop
erty the proposed exaction of another
payment would be in the nature Of dou-
BILE taxation. Judge Tuley further
maintains that the city's right to i'm
pose license is merely a right to IL
cense certain occupations such as those
in which draymen, carriers, expressmen
and others are engaged. 1t has been
held by other courts that wagons not
used for hire, for instance, are exempt
from payment of license. Judge Tuley
is inclined to believe that only bicycles
and vehicles used for traffic" could
be required to pay license. The city
contended that the power to impose a
license for the use of it's streets was
involved in the same power which gives
it the right to regulate the use of the
streets. The court answers that the
power of regulation does not carry the
right to impose license for the use of
what Is free to the people of the entire
State. Regulation implies restriction
of usages or practices injurious to in
dividuals or to the community. Bicy-
cling is not an amusement of this ma
ture, nor would it be commended that
the restriction of ball playing, say, or
kite flying in the public streets should
be regulated by the imposition of a
license.
The city will appeal the case and by
and by we shall know what the high
court thinks about licensing bicycles.

The question Of the price Of school
books is becoming serious one in
Georgia, and Governor Atkinson is said
to be determined that radical reforms
shall be instituted. The question has
been before the Georgia public for O.
number of years, but no action has
been taken except the appointment of
State School-Book Commission, which
SO far has failed to bring about any
betterment of the unsatisfactory con-
ditions. Governor Atkinson believes
that the Legislature should pass a uni
formity school-book act reducing the
price of books used in the public
schools, and compelling the use of uni
form editions and authors throughout
the State. He says that he would ia
vor the establishment of a State pub
fishing plant if important reductions
cannot be secured otherwise. He be-
lieves that the reforms can be brought
about, however by less radical meas
nres, perhaps the purchase of all school
books by the State and their issuance
to the county boards at cost, or less.

The provision of the new tariff that
fish caught in the great lakes or other
fresh waters by Citizens of the United
States are to be admitted free devel-
ops an interesting question. The A.
Booth Packing company Of Chicago has
just brought from the Canadian waters
of the upper Superior some whitefish
which it wishes to have admitted free
on the ground that the company is an
american one. The customs authori-
ties at Duluth and the treasury de-
partment hold that as the fish were
caught by Canadians they must pay
the duty of one-fourth cent a pound.
The company seems to hold that the
Canadians employed by them are citi-
zens ''by proxy"
