Nature ofttimes succeeds in pre-
serving the semblance of perishable
things by gradually replacing their
particles with substance which is less
subject to decay. A notable example
of this was shown by Professor H. G..
Seeley at a recent meeting of the
London Geographical society. He
produced the upper bone of the flip
per of plesiosauris, the bone SUBJ
stance having been almost perfectly
replaced by opal formation. The
creature from which the piece of skel-
eton came must have lived SO many
thousand years ago that we can only
approximate the time, for the reptile
flourished in the Jurassic age. 1t was
a long-necked water creature some
what resembling lizard, and its fell
lows sometimes attained length of
thirty feet. The specimen was found
in New South Wales opal mine. -

THE QUESTION OF PENSIONS.

The forecasts as to pension payments fer the current fiscal year have all been under the mark. A few days ago it was affirmed that S2,000,000 would be all that was required to carry the pension bureau through, $40, 1000, ,000,- 900 already having been appropriated But Secretary Bliss has called for over $S,000,000. That will increase the total amount of payments to the larg- est sum reached since the retirement of Commissioner Raum, and as the difference between the sums is but eight or nine millions the fact has much significance. Perhaps it is well for some persons to consider that if war which could not easily be com pleted to our satisfaction were to break out the question of finding sufficient pension money might become really momentous one.

STREET SPRINKLING.

The local system of street sprinkling has not been satisfactory. During the last year more has been spent for street sprinkling in Phoenix than ever before It has cost the city for the last year more than s6,OOO for sprink- ling alone, or twenty-five per cent of all the taxes received. It has not been satisfactory for the principal reason that the city tried to cover too large territory with the number of spr1nk- ling wagons that it kept employed in the vain endeavor to make the work count.
 The city has been rapidly growing, a great number of houses have been constructed within the last year, and their occupants have demanded as their right that the streets in front of their places be sprinkled. In order to do so and treat every person fairly, it would entail an expense upon the city of from $12,OOO to $15,O00 per an before the council was elected year ago were close to $32, 900 per annum. The taxes from real estate, improve ments, etc., were in the neignborhood of 25,00O; the total revenue from li- censes and other various sources of income amounts to between $15,000 and $20,000. It has been utterly i'm possible for the city to make any of the improvements necessary for tho vel fare of the town on account of the small amount of money at its com mand
 The streets are about to be i'm proved The first block of paving twill be started in very few days. Ac- cording to the law relating to city i'm proveInents, the city will be to the expense of paying for paving the city intersections which in reality amount to about one-third of the pave ment, and it would be impossible for the city to advance these much needed improvements unless in some way it could provide the means to meet the expenses. As the street sprinkling has been unsatisfactory, and as it is utterly impossible for the city council with the limited means at it's com mand to do the work in satisfactory manner, it has decided to discontinue the sprinkling of the streets after May 1.
 The streets thereafter will be sprinkled by private subscription, each property owner paying for the sprinkling in front of his property This is the plan adopted by nearly every city in the
 United States, and is in reality the only satisfactory manner in which the | work can be done
