MISSISSIPPI JETT1Es.
They Cost 100000. 900. and Now Are
to He Turned Over to the
Government.

1.-The Eads jetties in the south pass
of the Mississippi delta are now ready
to be taken over by the government"
said Estell McHenry. of ST. Louis. one
of the administrators of the Eads es-
tate. to Washington Post man. "'rhe
20 years that the contractor was re-
quired to keep 26 feet of water flow
ing through the south pass have now
expired. and every condition of the
contract has been complied with. BY
the terms of the recent act of con-
gress the government may assume
control of the works by paying over
to the Eads estate the S500.0GG yet re-
naming of the contract price. This
will be done as soon as Il purchase
price for the plant has been agreed
upon and other details cleared up.
1t is not likely that any obstacles will
come in the way of final settlement,
as it is provided that the price to be
paid for the plant. which is outside
the contract price for building the jet
ties, is to be fixed by arbitration in
case of failure to agree.
The Mississippi jetties are among
the most gigantic engineering feats of
the world. costing in the neighbor
hood of $4,000. 900. and making %
foot channel out of stream where
there was formerly but eight feet Of
water This has made of New Orleans
port for the largest among ocean
going vessels where otherwise only
the smallest of craft could have
crossed the bars.
'The Eads ietties. however. while
they are up to the specifications of
the contract. will rot meet the needs
of the future. They are already build
ing vessels that draw 20 feet of wa
ter. 1t is now proposed that the gov
eminent shall build iet,ieS in the
southwest pass that will make of it a
channel with water for even larger
than 3O-foot draught vessels. The
southwest pass has now onlv about
eight feet of water. The sit the Mis-
sissippi brings down having filled up
eight feet of it since the Eads jet
ties were built. 90 years ago"

For Piazza YiaitOHa.

A suitable refreshment to offer to
the visitors who are glad to rest on
the piazza from the journey out of
town is iced tea or lemonade or a
saucer of strawberries. If you pro-
vide strawberries, remember to leave
the hulls on. 1t is considered desr-
able to serve them that way. because
it indicates that the fruit has not re-
ceived any unnecessary handling. Use
the hull of the strawberry as little
handle by which to lift il from the
saucer and dip it in the pile of soft
white sugar heaped in one corner of
the plate. Use the pulverized fruit
sugar. mere powder. for the straw
berries. Have plate of lady fingers
or rice -four plunkets ready to offer
with the fruit.-Detroit Free Press.

EARTHQUAKES in the Philippines.

Frequent as earthquakes in the Philip
pine Islands, those OF the year 1897, oe-
ing unusual both in number and in vio-
lence, form the subject OF an important
memoir by P. Jose Coronas, which has
lust been received from the Observatory
OF Manila. He estimates the total num-
Der of shocks at 307, occurring in 108
groups. No part OF the archipelago was
entirely free from earthquakes, though
less than FIVE were felt in Mindoro, Para
qua and the central part OF Luzon. In
the northeast of Samar, where more
than hundred were felt, they were most
frequent and most destructive. Full
descriptions are given of the three most
important NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Luzon,
on August 49, Z mboanga, on Septem-
Der 81, with the accompanying sea
waves and long series of after shocks,
and Samar, on October 10 and 20. Four
of these earthquakes were recorded at
distant stations, both Shide and Edin-
burgh being more than eleven thousand
kilometres from the origins. The near
velocities OF the waves of the two princi
pal Yamboanga earthquakes are estim
ated at and 81 kilometres SECOND
