THE PLANS DELIvrREp

The city engineer makes certain recon.
nendations as to changes in the arrange.
inent Of the pumping machinery, made nee
essary by the change In the character of
the material 10 he handled, some OF which
are quite necessary, others not necessary,
but which altogether involve the expand.
uure OF a comparatively small amount OF
money. The need Of these changes all have
their origin In the same cause, viz. the
admission OF street waste and detritus,
Regarding the pl1ns which the engineer
saws he can not md. ! nny say that The
c,lnllrte plans of all work as finally car
Tied out were turned over by Mr.. Mackin-
tosb 70 the city engineer prior TO his leav-
ing Houston and all original plans have
lpen turned OVER.
The efforts OF the city engineer TO clear
the siphoDs will prove temporarily effective
only, and ! would repeat my recOmmenda
ton that the changes 70 be made should
consist in the carrying 81 gravity line
srross BuDalo and White Oak bayous and
the construction Of Q screen chamber at the

A FOEgY Story.

In London an American, boasting of
the superiority of his country. was in
terrupted by an Englishman, who said,
There's one thing in which this coun,
try surpasses America. You never saw
on the other side of the Atlantic any
fog that could match the one which
hangs over London tonight"
Fog! Fog!" came the unhesitatine
reply of the irate American. Why,
this is nothing compared with some Of
the fogs we have around New York
harbOr. Sometimes the fog is 50 thick
around there that it's a common thing
for the captains Of the ferryboats to
put on extra crews simply to pump the
fog out of the cabins. Why. there's Il
corporation organizing in New Jersey
right now to can American fog and
supply the British people with the real
thing "-Argonaut.

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.

New Crop OF Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.
A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming of new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact does not apply so aptly to
stars aud stage people who dominate
in the profession, for the life of these,
SO far as the public is concerned, is
usually somewhat longer But with the
rank and fle-th0Se who never rise
higher than the level of minor roles
ten years is about the limit of endur
ance. After having served before the
public for that length of time without
doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
the actor or actress, as a rule. passes
away in 50 far as the profession is
concerned. and n new crop is harvest
ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill the depleted
ranks
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people 10 the extent or reaDlng nnan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to size up" the situation
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years in the business. They
either achieve distinction-although
this is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines aftes
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, so far as they arg di.
rectIy concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for advancement For this
reason the rank and file of the profes-
sion is constantly changing, and the
popular idea ''once an actor always an
actor" is easily disproved.--Chicago
Tribune.
