cial Value.

New York Tribune.
Notwithstanding the fact that lob.
sters in these days bring prices so high
as to bar them from frequent use on
the tables of the multitude, it is said
that not less than 10000 or 10000 are
consumed weekly in this city. One
cause of the high price is undoubtedly
the shortness of the season in which
they may be caught in Nova Scotia
and the provinces, and which lasts
only from January to July. The law
in this country prescribes no time for
catching lobsters. but it requires that
they shall measure at least nine
inches in length, and that any below
that size shall be returned to the
water. The Holsters in the market
vary in size from three.quarters OF q
pound to three pounds, although dur
ing the summer months they some
times are caught near Sandy Hook
weighing from ten to fifteen pounds.
In the report of the United States
fish commission of 1900 it is shown
that Maine is far in the lead in lob.
ster catching, while Massachusetts.
Rhode Island, Connecticut and New
Hampshire follow in the order named.
The aggregate value of the catch of
these States in 1900 81, 1862 ,619, while
tho combined catch OF New York,
New Jersey and Delaware was only
$27 $50.

1t is the same reason that Sampson
gave for refusing to recommend brave
Gunner Morgan for promotion. The
admiral feared that Morgan was too
uncouth to make = good appearance
in European courts if he should ever
be called there.
It would seem that the American
people had been given about enough
of this sort of thing. It ought to be
plain after the shameful treatment of
Admiral Schley and the humiliation
of such gallant tars as Morgan and
Hill that the naval bureau is in the
hands of rotten clique of snobs and

the better it will be for the honor
and dignity Of the country.

GLASS TUBS THE NEWEST
Thing Out in the Shape Of Bathing Appliances

for Aesthetic People.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Bathtubs of glass may may be ex-
pec.ed TO replace enamel and metal
ones soon. They are being made in
Germany now and are said to have
many advantages over metal and
enamel, the principal one being that
they are much cheaper.
Besides bathtubs, tanks and watts
such as are used by brewers, distillers,
fruit preservers and sugar refiners are
being made of glass, and the manu-
facturer is confident that he can re-
place those for which clay, wood,
cement and metal are now commonly
used, with superior articles construct.
ed at lower cost.
Glass bathtubs are not fragile.
Those being made now are 5 feet, 6
inches long. about 2 feet wide, and
about p inches thick. They are
made in solid piece, and one can be
made complete in about five minutes.
This is owing to new process Of
blowing glassware by means of COM
pressed air. The process was in
vented in Pittsburg nearly twenty
years ago, but was limited to making
bottles and similar small.sized articles.
Paul Sievert, OF Dresden, has improved
it and under his process there need he
no limit, within reason, to the size of
the article made.
The method is simplicity itself.
The molten glass is taken from the
furnace ana placed in mold, which
can easily be swung to any desired
position.
Compressed air is thus admitted
through q flexible tube which con.
meets with the bottom of the mould.
The air pressure is regulated by valves.
As soon as the article is finished it is
switched into an annealing chamber,
where it is again heated and then al.
lowed to cool. This toughens it, and
after the process it is ready for use.
Plates of large size are being made
OF glass by an adaptation of the same
process. In this case IN ornamental
design is first made on sheet oil
peculiar composition, which remains
moist for some time.
Colored glass is spread over this to
work out the design. Then the sheet
is placed on the glass plate and the
whole is heated in the oven.
| The heat consumes the sheet on
which the design was made, leaving
only the layer OF colored glass welded
into the plate. Some remarkable and
very picturesque effects are made in
this way.

were out to have the best.
The brick is of solid bronze and

washed with gold, but was generous

made it himself out in q foundry on
/ the Pacific coast. See those indenta-
tons that look as if someone had

were drilled in the top and sides. and
| these cavities were filled with twenty
four karat gold. Cadigan was a man
of artistic temperament, and he took
more pride in the shaping of his brick
than some sculptors do in the model
ing of Greek gods. And he turned out
a classic, too-for a gold brick.
When it came to selling this brick
the smooth Mr.. Cadigan suggested to
his victims that it might be just as
we'll to satisfy themselves that they
were not dealing in the wares of the
confidence man, and he bored artis-
tically haphazard holes in the block,
and then told his victims to take the
specimens around to a government as

list told them the gold was good-too

If he had only plugged the thing with

couple of young EngliShmen, whom
he had lured over here with the ortho-

to make into a Foreground brick.
when he was suddenly taken sick with
fatal disease. Just before he passed
away he confided to Cadigan. of

two Englishmen a large sum of money
about half the value of the brick.

amount realized from the other half

SAHARA UNDER THE SEA.
Facts That I'm to Point to Former
Submergence of the Desert.
Cleveland Plain Dealer


NJ. Chevalier, known for his interest
ing botanical explorations in the
French Soudan, has communicated to
the French Academy OF Sciences GER
ain curious facts which seem to point
to the immersion of the Sahara in COM
paratively recent geological times.
There have been found in the neighbor-
hood of Timbuctoo on the southern
edge of the desert. the fossil remains
of two marine forms of animals which
are still living on the coast of Sene-
gambia. The presence of a fossil sea
urchin at Eau Saghair, discovered some
time ago, is to be associated with these
more recent finds of marine forms in
the desert. This evidence is important
as contribution to the much dis
puted question as to whether the Sa-
haran lands were formerly under the
waters of the Atlantic.
The very strongest of testimony is
accommodating in favor of the hypothe-
sis of the former submergence of the
Sahara. These facts are among the
latest contributions to our knowledge
of the desert which is quite we'll
known now when we compare with the
present accumulation of facts the mea-
ger information that was accessible
only thirty years ago.
1t will be remembered that about
that time some Englishman proposed to
dig a canal on the northwest coast of
Africa south of Morocco, to admit the
waters of the Atlantic into the desert.
1t was argued that a great inland sea
would thus be created in the desert and
that vessels from Europe and America
might steam through this canal and
toucn at ports along the rich western
Soudan. OF course the project was
based upon the notion that a large
part of the Sahara lay below the level
of the sea.
But now we know that the mean ele-
walton of the Sahara is far above the
sea level. 1t is supposed that the aver
age height of the desert above the sur
face of the Atlantic is about 1,5OO feet.
No part of the desert is known to lie
below sea level, except in certain linn
tied areas along its northern border
and near the Nile. The lowest part of
the region which it was proposed to
submerge is in the district of FL Juf,
which is 500 feet above sea level. No
way is known at present of artificially
the waters of the Atlantic
into the Sahara, except to pump them
in. If these facts had been known thir-
ty years ago we should have heard
nothing of the great project so much
exploited in the newspapers of that
day of creating large inland sea in
Sahara.

Season of Receptions.

One of the most brilliant and graft
tying events in Salt Lakes Catholic
social history came off last Monday
evening under the auspices of the
knights of Columbus, in the parlors Of

formed the early amusement of the

played. The prize. handsome cut
glass dish, was won by Mrs. Edward
McGurrin.
One of the pleasant features of the
evening was the first appearance of the
knights of Columbus quartette which
received well-merited applause. The
members are Frank Scarpa, first tenor;
c. A. Locke. second tenor; Joseph
Sauer, first bass, and r. c. Dunbar,
second bass.
A pleasing number of the programme
was a trio by Miss Harley. E. F. StoI-
zenberger and T. c. Crawford Mr..
Stolzenberger rendered a tenor solo in
a pleasing manner and received a well
deserved encore. Mr.. J. Gallagher was
the accompanies.
During the latter part of the evening
dancing was in order. Olsen's orches-
ira rendered excellent dance music

downstairs in the banquet rooms.
