we do not consider your offer OF day
wharfage for each day the dredger may
be engaged sufficient to justify taking
the dredger from the other work; but
IN order that you may not be compell-

Government wharyes TO the railroad.
we viii excayate the slip and build a
wharf 800 feet long and so feet wide
on the east side of your present scow

You can lay a track on 10 the wharf,
and freight for the r. R can be dis

Hoping this proposition will meet

A contemporary complains of "Rear
Admiral" as all inept title for man
SO eminently qualified for keeping in
front as IS the conqueror OF Manila,
observes the New York Times. The
point is not ill-taken, but designations
of rank are queer, anyhow, and few
of them will stand much examination
by philologists. And admiral" itself,
which this critic claims for his hero,
is about the queerest of the lot. The
word is the remnant of an Arabic
phrase, of which the beginning was
"ameer," or "emir." and it came to
us-alas, that the truth must DO toldl
straight from Spain. "Amir-al-
bahr" meant ''ruler of the sea. F"
When the "bahr" was dropped, of
course, the article should have gone,
too, Sut it didn't, and when some
overwise person put in "d' because
he thought he knew that the word was
Latin, it became as absurd a muddle
as the dictionary contains-which is
saying q good deal.

Utah Has Plenty of birthstone.

There is no reason in the world why
the industries in this country that use
birthstone should worry about their
ability to obtain all they want. 1t
may be that their eyes have been
turned toward foreign shores tor so
long time for this commodity that
they will be unable for some little
time to look inland and toward Utah,
which has enough sulphur within her
borders to supply not only the Amer
ican market, but the markets of the
world. The sulphur beds at Cove
Creek are practically inexhaustib e.
They are at q disadvantage in being
some twenty miles away from the rail
road. But the supply is there, and if
the price should advance so as to war
rant shipping it, it would very soon
be shipped. If the dealers in sulphur
are not aware Of the Utah supply they
should be made acquainted with the
fact of its existence. Our ports might
be all blockaded, still the resources Of
the country are so great aud so varied
that practically every want of the poo-
pie could be readily supplied; few
countries are so fortunately situated
in this respect. Salt Lake (Utah)

Ho. FOR THE HEN AND THE cow

Sing no for the South Dakota COW,
Sing hi for the little brown hen;
Such couple was never on earth below
To feather the nests OF men;
With the golden products Of good Queen
Bess
No "udder" can compare,
While the snowy fruit of the cackling
"bute"
Brings a solace for every care.
Men risk their lives for the shining ore
Deep laid In frozen cline,
When these faithful servants bring them
more,
Aud peace at the self-same time;
With pasture in plenty and bugs galore,
They never will lack for feed;
Their stock Is at par at the grocery store
For things that the farmers need.
Then three times three for the bovine
"she,"
And three for the female fowl
At the farmers door which they feed be
fore
No wolf has a chance to howl.
No poets dream ever hatched theme
More worthy poets pen
Than the kindly queen OF the prairies
green
And the busy, cackling hen.

According to the Indian Engineer
the merchant marine of japan has in
creased since the Chinese-Japanese
war from 100000 to 400, 200 tons of
steam shipping. Lines are now organ
lied sailing from the chief ports of
Japan to China, India, Europe,
America and Australia. This growth
follows Il change from an agricultural
to manufacturing nation. In 1872
japan only exported manufactured
articles to the value Of $500, 900; in
1896 exports of this class amounted
to $45, 900, 900, or forty per cent. of
her total exports.

Emperor Napoleon is given the credit

has forged ahead of France in the

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

More steel is used in the manufac-
ture of pens than in all the sword and
gun factories in the world.
Professor Dewar recently stated in
the course of lecture at the Royal
Institution of Great Britain that there
has been a great development in the
application of liquid air as an analyti-
cal agent.
The Photographic action Of light,
though not destroyed at very low tenn
peratures, is diminished by eighty per
cent, the loss being greatest in the
violet light which at ordinary tempera-
lures is the most effective.
The latest of the lofty outputs of
science to be established has recently
been put on the summit OF Mount
Kosciusko, 1928 feet high, the most
elevated point in Australia. 1t is q
meteorological observatory.
Modern medicine says that goats
milk, con trary to the general impress
sion, differs from cows milk not in
being more digestible, but in being
less digestible and less nutritious, al.
though it con tains larger amount of
solid matter than cows milk. 1t is,
indeed, the most indigestible of all
milk.
The electric heater of NJ. Fernand
lie Roy is similar in principle to the
incandescent lamp. Instead Of the
fine tilament of carbon of the latter
rod of pure silicon several times as
thick is used, and this is enclosed in
a glass tube from which the air is ex-
hausted, the whole being mounted on
a protecting tube of metal.
An impact testing machine is being
designed for the engineering labora-
tory of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology. 1t will resemble a pile
driver in general construction, and is
to have five hundred-pound hammer,
with a drop of about eight feet. 1t
can be used for both transverse and
longitudinal tests, so as to indicate the
effect of impact in cross breaking and
compr ession.
A paving brick, said to be the equal

Stag. As sudden cooling of the ma
terial forms brittle CLASSY mass, the
moulds are heated before the Stag is
run in from the smelling furnace, and
annealing is effected by thickly cover
ing the filed moulds with sand and al
lowing them to stand seventy-two
hours or more. The moulds are of
iron, each having a capacity of thirty
six bricks.
A remarkable development of taste
in birds is one quoted from The En-
tomologist The starting, which has
been newly introduced into New Zea-
land, has been observed catching
humble bees and killing them for their
young. Having by this means, ap-
parently, discovered the honey sacs
carried by the bees, they have &C.
quired a taste for honey, which they
now seek in the fax flats among the
richly mellifuous flowers. Possibly
this was the origin also of the taste
for honey possessed by the tut, or
parson bird, a member OF the startling
family, which preys upon humble
bees.
