The Famous Asphalt Lake.
Saturday Euening Post.


Asphalt is being dug out of the famous
tar lake of Trinidad-the most notable
existing source of the material in the
world-at the rate of $4,000 tons per an.
mum. There are still 100000 tons in
sight, but at this rate the supply could
not last long, were it not that the lake of
bitumen referred to is receiving a constant
accretion from the bowels of the earth
This accretion is reckoned as amounting
to about 10000 tons yearly, and would
suffice 10 restore the lake to its original
condition if it were allowed to remain I'M
disturbed for few years.
This wonderful lake of pitch has an
area of Ia acres, and recent soundings
made in the middle of it have shown IFS
depth to be 135 feet in that part. Near
the center it is semi-liquid and bubbling,
but elsewhere it has SO hard surface that
man on horseback can ride over it with
out danger of breaking through the crust
Scattered over it's surface are a number
of small islands which have no proper
roots in the earth, so to speak, but are
composed merely of Accommodations of soil,
though trees of considerable size grow on
some Of them. These islands are not sta
tionary, but are carried slowly from place
to place by the movements of the lake.
Now and then one of them is entirely en-
quilted.

MIR. Chairman, there is much truth and

clear that our new economists have little
faith in early rising, else they would not
have laid out 81, 900 of the peoples money

1.-The court fashion of sleeping out the
day and waking out the night results in
keeping the palace door closed, save to
persons entitled to the entry, until 10
o'clock in the morning"
Thus were edited the members of Con
gress 70 years ago.
With all this attack on Mr. Van Buren's
extravaganza the Executive Mansion was
not the scene of much gayety. Mrs. Van
Buren, had died many years before he at

to distinguished ladies of society to keep

at Denver in 1901 from VIM. Simmons, of
Philadelphia. think there is no cues

the comrades would favor the selection OF
more central point. If Cleveland wants
it, why did that city not put in a bid at

hands down.
Aside from the rate, which would he
prOhibitory to two-thirds of the boys, the
distance from the centers of population
and the time necessary TO make the trip
to Denver would undoubtedly reduce the
gathering to Il very small crowd.

banks were unable to pay the deposits
back. President Van Buren, had to call an
extra session of Congress. Ii passed
law allowing the Treasury to issue its
own notes for S10,000,000. This gave the
Government some relief.
The Wings urged the establishing of a
new United States Bank as the best
means of avoiding any such dilemmas in
the future. But Mr.. Van Buren, and his
party saw that this would cOuntenance a
strike at JacksOn's policy, and proposed
the Sub-Treasury system. This provided
that the public revenues were not to be
deposited in any bank. They were TO be
kept by the collecting officers, who were
TO pay over the money when ordered by
the Treasury Department at Washington.
The officers were TO give bonds for three
years; but the votes were lacking TO make
1t law. 1t became a law in 1910, and
was repealed by the Wings in 1871, and
re-established in 1916 by the Democrats.
The National banking system, such as
is In force today, was established in 1863.
Banks are not allowed to issue currency
without depositing slightly larger
amount OF bonds at Washington with
which to pay them; which system has
proven to be the safest and most satisfac-
tory of all the financial systems of the
new Republic.
Party Lines were strictly drawn again
The Democratic party, with Jackson at its
