Greater New York.

When the charter of "Greater New
York" goes into effect on the 1st of
January next the great consolidated
city will have a population of about
800, 900 and of all the cities of the
world, London only will exceed it in
size. Its area is about $50 square miles
while London, with 4,250,OO0 people,
covers 688 square miles. The density
of population is therefore much greater
in New York, averaging 8,611 per
square mile as against 6, 1852 in London.
The total Indebtedness of the new
metropolis will be $4,000, 900, and the
taxable property $2,5s3, 34 1923. 1t has
10000 dwelling houses and $4,000
business houses; it's paved streets ex-
tend 500 miles, and its railroads 200
miles; it has $50 public schools, 100
churches and so postoffices. 1t was
thought at one time that Pekin was
the second largest city in the world
but that idea is now entirely aban-
doned, and the order of seniority is
London, New York, Paris, Berlin,
Tokyo, Vienna, Philadelphia, Chicago,
st. Petersburg, and all other cities in
the world are below one million.

gagged as principal of the Friday Har
Dor schools. The board of school di
rectors are to be congratulated on thei]
wise selection, as Mr.. Tucker stands
nigh among the teachers of San Juan
county and will beyond doubt prove
the right man in the right place. His
education has been quite liberal, Ate,
graduating from the common schools
OF Indiana, Mr.. Tucker took a special
| course in Central Normal college at
Danville, Indiana. Since coming to
Washington he graduated with the
highest honOrs from the High School
department of Port Townsend. It is
TO be hoped the board will make an
equally good choice in the employment
OF the teacher for the primary depart
ment. 1t is the intention to have the
schools begin about Sept. Goth.

parts OF the county. During the first
OF the day the time was consumed in
chatting with those not seen since last
fourth. Old and young, big and little.
especially the latter, made the air sui
phurous with fire crackers, kept the
stands busy dishing up ice cream and
handing out lemonade, saying nothing
about the counter where the boys went
TO "wet their whistles" The dinner
hour past. the program was begun in
earnest at 2 o'clock. After an excel
lent overture by the Valley Orchestra,
the Declaration of Independence was
read by G. N. S. Tucker. Then came
q bright Grafton, short and to the point,
Dy Il. q. Woodin. Foot races, three
legged race and horse races were among
the more exciting sports Of the day.
The dance in the evening, including
supper and music, was decided sue

The Sealing Conference a Fake.

Washington, Aug o-Prof. Henry w,
Elliott, OF the Smithsonian institution,
who claims to know as much about the
sealing question as any man living,
charges in the plaipest and most emphatic
language that the conference to be held
this fall on that subject will be fake
pure and simple. He says that Ambas-
sador Hay begged Lord Salisbury to al.
low the British naturaiists who have for
six years been studying the seals on our
islands to meet our naturalists at Wash:
ington and compare biological notes, in
order to hide ex-Secretary Fosters
humiliating failure to get the question
reopeued. and that Salisbury agreed.
He says further that the socalled confer
ence will have no authority to do any
thing whatever towards a settlement of
the question. Prof. Elliott's assertions
have attracted wide attentions, and if
what he says is true they deserve still
more. Meanwhile Prof. Elliott will
probably lose his Smithsonian job.

Fort Collins Mocking Bird.

The steam fire alarm whistle at Fort
Collins is what might be termed a Chin
Ipanlulu. 1t not only works on the
hydraulic principle but goggles over in
to the hyperddulia system. 1t thrills
one like red ants crawling up the orifces
of picnic pants. Its seances open with
prayer-and are closed by the sheriff.
Under ordinary circumstances, when
the call for turning off the water is given
at nine o'clock b. t., the play opens by a
slight wall similar to hearing the bees
[droning about one when awakened beside
a purling stream. This gradually in.
creases till it reminds one of the rumble
and jar of an electric power house. A
few minutes later you think that six.
foot circular saw has struck bar of
railroad iron. Higher and higher goes
the grind; now you think you have fallen
through roof into a democratic state
convention; now you're with a holiness
camp meeting; and about this time the
fellow running the donkeywhacker spits
on his hands, takes fresh chew of fine
cut, pounds the cotton waste into his cars
and pulls her wide open. Here's where
you strike sewing circle when the chair
woman sees mouse. Your toes curl up;
your heart drops seven inches as if your
best girl said quit" your hair throbs up
and down like boiling rice; your finger
nails turn blue; the combination on the
the burglar proof safe changes; and, by
this time having watered your lawn, you
close your faucet. The engineer then
winds his waterbury and runs down the
scale like a doodlebug over sanded
pan-and then quits the game.-Love-
