twaddle in his lectures and writes
more in his letters; but he told the
cold and brutal truth in the senti-

geston was not original.
Probably no thinking man of

in the possibility or desirabiIity of

Waterfowl i'm Marshes.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Is II unlawful for residents OF this
State TO shoot waterfowl along the
rivers and in the marshes of such rivers
Of this State. unless such marshes are
enclosed. except in counties where every
mans lire is a legal enclosure, even IL
such marshes are property? Kindly pub
lish the law on the subject and Oblige
\ KICKER.
The law is that any citizen Of Virginia
may hunt. fowl or fish. without let or
hindrance I'm any Of the navgable waters
of this state; but no person has right
to trespass upon the private lands Of an
other marshes. and. indeed. ali lands
above ordinary low watermark are deem
ed private), and 70 hunt upon such
marshes or lands would be a trespass
without regard to the law governing en-
closures. The law governing the rentinl
by the Commonwealth of oyster-plantine
grounds modi6es, of course, the foregoing
to a certain extent.

Governor Smith lost his life during the
burning OF the theatre-where the Mohu-
mental church now stands-in the frull-

Cost of Electric Railways.

TO the Editor of the Dispatch.
On an electric railroad. such rs the pro-
posed one from Richmond 70 Gloucester,
what should be the probable cost Of %
track per mile. (9 pOwer-houses, CD roll
ing stock? r..
King William county, Va.
The cost OF track with 60-pound steel
rail- including grading. bridging, cul-
verts, would be from 5000 to $1,000 per
mile, depending upon the topography Of
the country, the accessibility Of timber
for ties, etc.
2. The cost Of power-houses, including
the installation Of power, etc, would
range from $1,000 to $1,000 per mile.
3. The cost of rolling stock would de-
pend entirely upon the quality and amount
used, perhaps not less than 10000 and
not more than 100000
As this Is 10 be standard-gauge road
and will conform in all respects-except
power-to other roads OF that character,
the total cost per mile for building and
equipment would probably range from
$1,000 to $4,000

Sand,tones Near Toms Brook

no the Editor of the Dispatch:
I saw In paper that the sandrocks on
the ton of these mountains were brought
here from British America. How did they
come and when did they come, and why
did they nearly all stop on the top Of
tbese mountains? The earth under these
rocks is generally free from stone and
What rocks there are, are mostly slate
rocks.
Toms Brook, Va.
The sandstones on the tops Of the
mountains about Toms Brook were made
from beds of sand. such as occur along
the seashore, at period far back in the
past when biologists believe that there
was an inland sea extending from the
Blue Ridge westward across the Missis-
sippi Valley. Afterwards the land was ele-
waited above the water. and the sandstone
which covered the whole region about
Toms Brook. was gradually washed
away. except where It still remains on

That Richmond is the leading shoe mar

Please give me the explanation OF the
fact that though the name of our newly

Why not PHILIPPINES? RURAL
"Filipino" is the Spanish for a dweiler

into use TO indicate Philippine Islander.
The Spanish for Philippine Islands IS
"Islas Filipinas." Then, too "Filipinos

The French Indemnity.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
You would greatly favor me with re-
ply 20 this inquiry:
Senator Frye said In the Senate that
Germany paid France S5cO0,00 for Al
SAGE and Lorraine. This Is not only new
TO me. but TO every German. Can you tell
me whether the S65.00,oO0 had been de-
Quoted from the 100000 francs France
paid Germany as a war indemnity. or
whether the $50 10000 had been added 10
the indemnity. so as TO leave Germany
the 100000 francs clear? and oblige,
yours. j. r.
The amount Germany demanded from
France was $l,OO0,OO9OOo. The amount al
lowed for the Improvement Of Alsace and
Lorraine railroads. &C. was deducted
from this sum.
