General Guy V. Henry writes thus in
The Independent: An experience Of
four months had shown me that the
Porto Ricans were friendly to the Unit
ed States government and easily guild
ed by kindness, and also that in view
of their habits, language and other con-
ditions, differing so materially from
ours, American methods should be in
troduced gradually. The policy then
fnaugurated by me and which I still
place in office the best natives to be
found, to encourage them to adopt our
ideas of morals and government, and to
assert the military power only when all
other means had failed. The customs
for many years cannot be changed in
as many days, but with careful Off
cial supervision and the example Of the
best Americans on the island the peo-
pie of Porto Rico will ultimately be fit
ted for territorial form of government
The better element of the population is
as refined and educated as its corre-
spending class In the United States,
and will be great assistance to the po-
litical and commercial redemption of
the island.

One Of the greatest engineering works
ever undertaken is the vast granite dam
now being constructed by the English at
Assuan, on the Nile, to lift the level Of
that stream and widen the area it irri-
gates. The granite wall is to be over a
mile long, from 80 to 40 feet wide and at
places rs feet high. 1t will, in effect,
be bridge as well as DAM AS
dam 1t will have $40 square miles of
area, hold 1000, 900 tons of water and
bring $500 square miles of desert land
under cultivation. The cataracts will be
covered, and locks will pass vessels up
and down. Some four years will be re-
uuired for it's completion. The larger
pyramids were, perhaps, equally for
midable, but less useful enterprises.
They were constructed by countless
prisoners Of war, while the Assuan dam
will be built by native laborers, who re-
ceive wages.

Sir John Murray is authority for the
statement that 80 per cent of the bot
tom water of the ocean has tempera-
ture under 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Be
tween the shore and the hundred
fathom line the temperatures were
higher. Speaking of the surface water,
he said that 81 per cent. of the maxi
mum temperatures, and rs per cent. of
the minimum temperatures were above
40 degrees Fahrenheit.

"A little time spent on little things by
many people amounts to much. A mill
owner not long ago issued the order that
the girls in his employ should not wear
laced shoes. The reason he gave was
that each ones boot became united at
least five times day, and took at least
five seconds to retie. When these twen-
ty-fiye seconds were multiplied by 300
the number of girls in his employ-the
loss Of time was, he said, too serious
to submit to. Another mll-owner, talk
ing over this case, said that he had for

them. Computing twenty visitors day
and two seconds for the head turnings
of each of his 600 employees made over
six hours daily wasted in that gesture.

Gates to the Times, of that city, a letter
from ii G. RiZ-r, chief clerk of the
United States Geological Survey, in
text as follows:
Replying to your inquiry Of some eleven
months SlnCe-if you have not lost all inter
est i'll the matter or already secured the de
sired acknowledgements me to say that in
an atlas published by Thomas Jeffrey at
London in 1875. is a map dated 1857, in
which what is known as Georges Creek is
called Homecoming creek. Indications of coal
appear on this map. There is a French map
by Nangordy, 1893, showing the same Both
of these maps are in the library of the Geo
logical Survey.
The delay in answering your letter is due
to the fact that il was referred to an expert on
old DiapS, who, being in Europe at the time,
could not attend TO it.
This letter confirms Mr.. PatterSon's
statement to the Times that
Some 2S years ago saw in the office of
Mr.. William Brace. civil engineer, an old
map of Virginia in which Georges WAS
named Homecoming creek, and along it and
the North Branch, black dots marked coal +"
This map, with other of Mr.. Braces books
Ond maps, were sold to Mr. John Schaidt,
county surveyor, but unfortunately it has
been lost. Until saw that Old map | had
thought for many years that the beautiful
name GU was the invention of MeSSrS. Tyson
and Alexander, the 70 nderS of the Georges
Creek Coal and Iron company.
This report conflicts somewhat with
the tradition which gives to the name,
"LOnaconing,o the significance of
where many waters meet" but as
geographical designation it is far more
excel ent than the colonial "George's. -
For the sake of the picturesque i'm
port of aboriginal nomenclature,
therefore, and in the int of topo
graphical euphOny, the first known
name should be restored to he creek
Moreover. "George's" implies re-
strlctively the pOssrSSive case---a con-
dition abhorrent to the idea that
streams. of all natural features. are
the special property of all the people
whom they bless.
For the reason given all in charge
of our termin0logy should take steps at
once to call the creek, region and coal
Homecoming"
GEORGES" Is misnomer for creek
and region, and Cumberland" for re-
gion and coal is barbaric anomaly.

Whether carrying a concealed weap-
on ought to be nolenS rolens unlawful is
question.
If a man carries it some what on gen
eral principles, with no design to use it
particularly, but only in the event of
a possible emergency, it does not seem
that he ought to be held punishable.
The act is but little more eprehensible,
if at all, than keeping the same weapon
in his house.
If it should develop, however, that
he carries or has carried it to injure
anyone, say "on sight, he should be
held to strict account for It.
For, after all, it is better for II man
that he suffer than inflict hurt.
These remarks suggest the pre-
caution, if feasible, of licensing the
carriage of weapons.
A license predIcatcd on a general
need, in the event of trouble, would
be i'll court a strong presumption in
ones favor.
Without it, the presumption would
be as strong the other way.
