The Commissioners yesterday wrote to
Mr.. Z. b. Hay, of 1425 New York Avenue
northwest. relative to his claim in be-
half OF Mrs. Anna E. Callaghan for dam
ages on account of injury done to her
house as the result of the storm of June
2, 1900. They informed him that the
Commissioners have uniformly refused to
pay any claims for damages on account
of that storm, and that they cannot
therefore, favorably consider the claim
presented by him.
The Commissioners inform him that
they cannot accept the theory that the
District Of Columbia is responsible for
damage by storm water as the result of
lack of catch basins. as this would rem
Ger the District Government liable for
almost any degree Of damage that might
result in parts of the District where the
sewer system has not been extended, or
where il has been impossible to provide
the necessary basins for conducting the
flow Of water.

Past and Present acting.

With regard to the art of acting, who
shall say whether 1t is better or worse
today than 1t was 90 or 100 years ago?
"The old playgoer" always tells us that
1t was better. But is not ''old playgo-
err simply the young playgoer grown
old, still imbued with his first impress
sions., his fayorite and most lasting
ones, and with a jealous desire never
to have those first impressions disturb
ed? If one talks of the actor of today.
the playgoer of past generation
speaks of Mscready, Charles Kean and
Phelps.
People living in the times of those
three great actors would surely bark
back to the Kembles and Mrs. Siddons.
and when these great artists were in
their prime they no doubt underwent
disparagement at the hands of veter-
ans who had summed themselves in the
genial art of Garrick. But Pope, friend
and admirer of Garrick as he was,
Landed Betterton to the skies. 81 ought
to tell you at the same time" he can
didly admits, ''that in Retterton's time
the older sort of people talked of Hart
being his superior. just as we do Of
Betterton being his now"
In this way we could keep going
backward until-if we believed con-
temporary critics at all points of stage
history-we should find that the first
actor. presumably the serpent. was the
best that ever trod the boards.-Mrs.
Beerbohm Tree in Queen.

The Future Population of Siberia.
This Is a question upon which much
has been said and written, some writ
ers taking the stand that Siberia is to
have population of 60000,000 or 3d.
100000 within the next 100 years,
while others hold this view is gross
exaggeration.
A writer of the latter belief, Armiai-
us Vambery, using The Pail MalI~Mag-
azine as medium, has thisSto say on
the subject: with regard to the future
colonization of this outlying portion
of the empire of~tfie car. there Is no
doubt tibet an unmistakable gain will
Fbe derived. for the growth of the pop
ulation In Siberia. where an area of
13, 100000 square miles is inhabited by
only 100000 souls and where the ex-
traordinary wealth liz minerals, woods
and arabic land still awaits exploita-
tion, will certainly proceed with great
er strides than heretofore.
without giving implicit faith to
Russian official statistical data, it may
fairly be assumed that owing to the
particular care the government has al
ways taken to further colonization, the
eminently agricultural Russian will
probably avail himself of the offered
facilities and that the population in
the hitherto empty lands will consider
ably increase. 1t may be objected that
Russia. the most thinly populated coun-
try in Europe, will hardly find sur
plus to provide for the newly opened
territory; but it must be borne in mind
that the Russian peasant is noted for
his migratory propensities."

Keeping 8 Record.

Many new seeds are planted each
year, the relative value of which. COM
pared with the old, is unknown to the
farmer, because no record is kept of
them. For this reason the New England
Homestead suggests marking the rows
where the new seed is planted in way
to outlast the effects of storm. sun and
air. A thin strip of board is provided
with piece of enamel cloth that comes
up over the top from the back and COW
ers down over the record concerning the
seed and its treatment as regards fer
tilizer, culture, etc. Such records, thus
made permanent to the end of the sea-
son, are of great value in progressive
farming. At the end of the tests these
records should be carefully arranged and
entered in a book. This should be SO in
dexed and tabulated that all the infor-
nation it contains is made easily avail
