rather unfavorable comment from prop

that is not quite equitable and not fair
to the property owners on the east side
of the street. In widening the street
the loss TO property owners is fro 3 to

CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINES.

They Have Done Much to Reduce the
Loss from Water at Fires.
The chemical engine" used sonsid-
crably in the fire departments OF several
cities, has aided materially in lowering
the loss by water at small fires. The
preparation carried in the tanks of
these engines has a double advantage;
not only does it extinguish large body
of fire with the use OF q small amount
of water, but the liquid itself evaporates
quickly, leaving very little drip" in the
apartments or floors underneath the
fire.
The tanks of these engines are
charged with solution of bicarbonate
of soda (baking soda) and water, with
q small cylinder Of sulphuric acid sus-
pended at the top. When the tank is in
verted, this acid il emptied into the soda
and water, and the mixture at once gen
crates carbonic acid gas at great pres
sure. Charging the liquid with this gas
gives it the necessary pressure to drive
it a considerable distance. The hose
is coiled around reel on top OF the en-
CINE, and always connected with the
tanks, so when the firemen arrive at q
fire all they have to do is to run of as
much hose as they need, dash upstairs
with the line, give the order to dump
one OF the tanks (there are two, carry
ing 60 gallons each), and they are all
ready to go to work. The chemical en-
CINE has extinguished more than 25
fires of considerable size since it has
teen in service in the New York depart
u1ent, q little over year. It Is stationed
on the upper west side Of the city, where
there are great number OF dwellings
and fats, and it has aided materially In
keeping down the fire losses In that part
Of New York.-Charles T. Hill. in st.

An interesting and unsuual specta-
Gle was presented few days ago to
number of persons passing along
Haines street, Germantown. They saw
q blind colored man who was cutting
grass on lawn and singing southern
melody in the most contented manner
imaginable. Blind men, as everybody
knows, can make brooms, weave car
pet and engage in many other lines OF
industry of that nature, but the cut
ting of grass with lawn mower by
sightless man is an occurrence not fre-
quently witnessed In this instance
the grass was cut very satisfactorily.
The colored man would cut patch
about ten feet square, and then start
another square. Every now and then
he would use thin stick to feel along
the top of the grass to ascertain
whether or not it had been properly
trimmed, of if there were any spots that
needed another going over. It was
learned from the neighbors that-this
blind and happy-hearted colored man
weeds the garden, oils the moving ma
chine, puts the tools away in their prop
er places and goes about the grounds
with more energy and confidence than
many other gardeners in the full pos
session of their sight.-Philadelphia

sHoEMAkERs IN POLITICS

The 0Aoe aAA Leather Trade Makes
ClaAn to Several statssmen.
The shoe and leather interests of the
United States, always great, are ever
growing. The first shoemaker in the
American colonies was Thomas Beard,
who came over on the Mayflower. He
established himself in Lynn, and the
shoemakers Of Lynn have been noted
ever aimee. In the last century Lynn
turned out 3oo, 900 pairs of shoes year.
Now the United States exports $35,000,-
600 worth Of shoes in year, and $685.
000,000 is invested in the business, ex-
elusive of the tanneries.
Men connected with the shoe and
leather trade IN the United States
have. especially in New England, taken
IN active part in the management of
public affairs, and recent computa-
ton shows how important their part
has been. Gen. Grant. was for q time
. tanner. His associate on the repub-
lican ticket in 1872, Henry Wilson, was
generally known as "the shoemaker of
Natick-" he served an apprenticeship
to . acobbler, and it was reported OF him
that in early life he carried his stock of
shoes for sale to Boston every Saturday
night. William Claflin, governor Of
Massachusetts, was the son of a tanner,
and learned the shoemaking trade when
Q boy. He was member of the Bos-
ton legislature Tor six years, three
years lieutenant governor, four
years governor and afterward a
member of congress. Marshall Jewell,
governor of Connecticut; Phineas
Lounsbury, who held the same Office,
and James E. English, who was twice
democratic governor Of the Nutmeg
state, besides being for four years a
member of the house of Representatives,
and for time United States senator,
were in the boot and shoe business in
New Haven. Gov. Bourn, of Rhode
Inland, and Gov. Page, OF Vermont, were
in the same trade. Congressman Walk
er, of the Worcester district OF Mas
sachusetts, is in the boot and shoe busi-
ness, and many years ago established
a branch in the city Of Chicago, the
leather interests of which are now
enormous. Former Gov. Baldwin, OF
Michigan, a state whose tannery inter-
ests are enormous, was a shoe sales
man in early life, beginning business
with Zachariah Chandler, afterward
United States senator. Potato" Pin
gree, the present governor of Michigan,
is shoemaker by trade. Born in Maine,
he learned the business in shop in Mas
sachusetts, and established himself in
Detroit after the close OF the war.-N. Y.

WHERE TOWNS ARE SCARCE

Five States In Which There II Only
Only One City Larger Than Yonkers.
The population Of Yonkers ut the last
Federal census was 32,O33. There are
Ave states which at that time had but
one city in excess Of $4,000 population
That city was Charleston, which row
has population of $4,000. The Eve
states ere North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.
The largest city of North Cnrclina is
Wilmington. which has the same pcpu-
lation as Schenectady. Raleigh. the
capital of North Carolina, has as much
population as Sarutoga Srrings-,e
more. and less than West Troy and
Mount Vernon, N. Y. Ashevillc, Char
lotte, Newberns, and Durham are srcan
places in North Carolina-villagcst they
would be called in the north. Outside
of Charleston there is no city of even
third class in the Palmetto state. Co
lumbia, the capital, has population CT
10000; Spartansburg is village OF
6.OO0. In Florida, the population CT
Key West is about 10000, of Jackson
Vile the same, Of Pensacola $4,000, ana
of Tampa 5000. Tallahassee. the cap
ital of the state, has less than 5000 pop
ulation and st. Augustine, which lays
claim to being the oldest city of the
United States, has less than 5000. Very
few persons in the north have any clear
idea of the population of some Florida
towns, the names of which have fer
various reasons come to be quite Ia
mniar, but the fact is that in the south
villages count as towns and towns as
cities. with tie result that q place of
1000 or 5000 inhabitants may be better
known than northern or western cities
OF 1000 or 60,000.
Alabama is large state, thiclly pop
ulated in many parts, but it is not well
represented in cities. Mobile, for years
the commercial rival of New Orleans,
has a population of $4,000 by the last
census Birmingham, sometimes called
the pittsburgh of the South" had, by
the last census, $4,000. Montgomery,
the capital of the state, has popu!a-
tion of 1880, or had at the time of the
last census, for it has since somewhat
increased. The population Of Selma is
1900, and of Florence 6,000. This about
exhausts the list of Alabama towns.
In respect to such places Mississippi is
still less favored, for the capital, Jack
son, has population of less than 6,OCo
and Vicksburg, formerly one of the
great Mississippi landing ports, has 49,
900. Meridian and Natchez, both cele-
brated at the time when the business
of the Mississippi steamers was consid-
erable, have respectively populations of
1o,624 and 10, 1o1 as returned by the last
census figures. New Orleans is the one
big city of Louisiana.-N. Y. Sun.

GEOLOGY OF THE kLono,kE.


How the Rivers Are Changin1 the
Country.
A recent explorer in part OF Alaska
AZ far removed from the newly y-discov-
cred Klondike region as Washington is
from Boston has said: THAT country
is one-haH made; the glaciers are slow
ly doing the work, the mountains are
smoking and the rivers are vomiting out
quantities Of quicksand." What is true
of the Cooks Inlet country of southern
Alaska is also true, in measure, of the
valley of the Yukon. There are, how
ever, some differences. In the region Of
the gold fields there are no glaciers.
Active volcanoes, too, are 50 far away
that it is ouly by the occasional reports
of Indians or prospectors who have
made a longer trip than usual that
their existence is known. And yet one
can see. through all the valley of that
great river of the north, aboundant
evidences of the uniformed character Of
the country.
The one thing which strikes the trav-
eler, be he layman or geologist, is the
immense amount OF work which the
streams are performing. The Lewes
river, down which he takes his way to
the diggings, rises, as is known, in .
series of lakes, the largest Of which is
over 30 miles long. The country in the
upper lake region is mountainous, with
torrents plunging down through rough
valleys from the eternal SNOW.
The contrast between this water OF
the lakes, which is clear, and that of the
stream emerging from them is remark
able. The latter soon becomes turbid,
being full Of sediment, SO that one can
not see more than quarter OF an inch
below the surface. A basinful taken
out and allowed to stand clears itself in
time, and thick deposit of mud is
found in the bottom Of the receptacle.
The current boils and flows very rap
idly, and as the boat floats along a sound
is heard like that OF frying fat. Upon
searching for the cause of this sound
it is found to lie in the grating against
the bottom of the boat of the very fine
particles of sand carried in suspension.
From the moment of entering the Lewes
river until the end of the trip this sound
is never absent. A truly enormous
amount of material is thus borne along
by the Yukon and finally emptied into
the immense delta at its mouth in Nor
tons sound.-Leslie's Weekly.

It is perhaps in discipline more than
in anything else that the Greek soldier
is lacking. Even the Evzoni, however
good at guerrilla warfare in the noun
tains, would probably feel this defect
in regular campaign. It is no un-
common thing to hear the word OF COM
mand disputed or discussed on the pa
rade ground or on the march; 1T prob
ably would be the same on the battle
field. The Greek is too democratic in
his tradition and character to admitthe
notion of unreasoning obedience to any
superior, and, moreover, it is serious
difficulty that there is no recognized
class in Greece from whom enough Off
GERS can be drawn. Some rise from
the ranks, and no Greek can ever re-
gard his companion as superior to him.

class in Greece. In the country all are

would not think of entering the army,
