The Reason They Teen With Mala-
ria and No1ious Gases.
Good gravel has so largely come into
request that many suburban lands
with that valuable substratum are
quarried to a considerable depth be-
fore being sold on building leases. But
1t Is essential to restore level surface,
as even the most speculative builder
would hesitate to run up meat villa
residences" in deep holes. The owner
frequently gets over this difficulty by
allowing urban refuse. to be shot into
the excavation; in many cases he even
e1acts a small sum for every load tilted
on his ground. The surface being thus
leveled, year or two are allowed for
the soil to sink and become compact.
Occasionally grass is sown to give a
natural appearance to the spot.
All is now in readiness for the build
er, who proceeds to lay the foundation
for his terraces" avenues" and gar
dens," which he subsequently adver-
tises as ION gravel soil" SO they are,
but between their ground floors and the
gravel lies a thick stratum of partially
decomposed rubbish, teaming with
malaria, and not for many years will
the deposits cease to give of noxious
gases.
But the tenant, coming from a diff
ferent locality, knows nothing of the
making" process to which the plot
has been subjected. When, therefore,
Ill health dogs his family, he puts 1t
down to defective drainage or some
other structural deficiency and spends
money freely on remedial measures
without the least benefit All this
misery might be prevented If it were
legally prohibited to build human habi-
tations on decomposed refuse until the
soil had acquired a wholesome char
acter.-London Globe.

couId Not Report COLI.

When the amateur golf championship
was played at Wheaton in 1897 there
was but one Chicago newspaper man
who had the remotest conception of
what the game was. Accordingly, the
newspapers, with the exception of the
Chicago Tribune, agreed to syndicate
the work and put it all in this one
mans hands. The Tribune refused to
enter the combination and depended
upon the exertions of n member of its
own staff. But the Tribune reporter
speedily realized his helplessness and
appealed to his brother of the syndicate
for aid. The latter obligingly handed
over his copy, and the Tribune man set
to work to make few minor changes
so that its kinship to the original should
not be too apparent. Later in the
evening he met his generous bene-
factor and told him of the changes lie
had made.
I'm particular, the account of the
play at the sixth hole between Forgan
and Douglas. You said that 'Forgan

Douglas is just one of those Scotch
men. 1t seemed to me rather cheap to
have Forgan doing that sort of thing
for a half. so 1 just made it read that

THE TROUBLE WITH VENEZUELA

THE TROUBLE WITH VENEZUELA
Explanations given out at Washington,
says the Philadelphia Times, Of the
recall OF the United States minister
from VENEZUELA are contradictory. 1t lie
said that Mr.. Loomis Is coming to
Washington only tor consultation and
that he is expected to return. 1t is in
sisted that he has the full support of
this government and that there is no
disagreement with Venzuela. 1t is al
80 said that Mr.. Loomis desires to be re- =
lieved on account of his health and that
he is to be exchanged to another post.
Still another statement Is that the rela
lions of the two countries are strained
and that the recall is a rebuke 10 Ven
zue1a. Several other explanations are
given. II Is probable that none OF them
is exactly true.
That Mr.. Loomis has made himself
offensive to the existing government OF
VENEZUELA by his interference In the as
phalt dispute cannot be doubted. 1t was
distinctly stated soms time ago that his
recall had been suggested, and though
this was denied, the feeling against him
at Caracas evidently has not abated. 1t
may be that he acted uader instructions
from Washington, where the asphalt
trust is influential, aud that for this
reason he Is not to be rebuked. But
this Is not creditabe to the administrs-
tion and If 1t has made this mistake it
will be difficult to conceal It.
