course he intended to pursue in the
matter OF advertising for proposals
for constructing the hreakwater in
san Pedro harbor said he had received
many kilograms from proprletors of
newspapers and others Offering to
publish the advertisement gratuitously
II II should be found that there is no
appropriation available. But as the
law does not permit of the acceptance
of gratuitous service he has asked the
comptroller of the currency whether
there is any fund from which the eN-
rense of advertising can be paid.
should the comptroller reply in the
affirmative, the funds that he may
designate will be used for the purpose,
but should he reply that there is no
fund available the secretary OF war

One OF Charles Stoll's boys, Of Hun
cry Hollow, caught a coyote IN a trap
recently that had q collar around its
neck with bell attached to it, This
would indicate that some one had been
breeding coyotes for their scalps and
that this one had either escaped or the
party OF parties had gone out Of the
business when the State appropriation
was shut off.
Another thing that leads to this be-
lief is the fact that coyotes are now
more numerous in that section than
they have been for years, A little in
vestigating might produce some inter
esting results. The Mail correspond
emit from that section has complained
for the past year of the unusual num-
Der Of coyotes III that section and the
great annoyance and loss they have

Wotehing Ice hy Measure.

A correspondent Of the Western
Druggist complains that he is contlnu-
ally defrauded In the Ice delivered for
his soda fountain. and weighing not be.
Ing exactly practicable, he wants 10
know If he cannot find the true weight
Of chunk of ice by measurement.
st. Louis druggists are not alone IN
their complaint about short weight on
fee, ana the explanation for the diminu-
tive size Of 100-pound chunk of ice,
namely, that 1t is the GOODNESS Of It
which has contracted 1t so, will be as
familiar to them as to their brethren
in III luck in Chicago. As to the ques.
ton Of our correspondent, that is en-
tircly aprOpos, and we take pleasure In
assisting him. The calculation is quite
simple If we remember that ore cubic
foot of water weighs 625 pounds. One
cubic foot equals II times II times -
Or 1,72S cubic inches. Dividing this by
the number of pounds Of water gives
Us LIS, divided by G2.5, equals 27.65.
Hence, one pound Of water measures
27G5 cubic inches, which for 100 pounds
makes 2,76o cubic inches. While ice
blocks, rs delivered are not always of
exactly rectangular shape, yet in n ma
jority OF cases the weight could be de
termined approximately correct. We
would advise our readers TO try this
Plan appealing to the scale when theli
figures are doubted.
