Consul General Williams of Sing
apore writes to the Independ ent
to propose a reconstruction of the
map of the world. He would have
us make an exchange with Eng
land of our Philippine possessions
for Newfoundland and the Brit
ish West Indies and the Bahamas,
and incidentally he would have
England oede Honduras to Mex
leo, and have Great B.itain,
France and Holland give up their
claims to Guiana, which should be
made q separate nation under our
protection. He thinks that it
would be a good riddance for us
if we should thus transfer the
Philippines to power that wants
them, and that we gain in prestage
and power by contlding ourselves
wholly to this of the middle of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

"The Lost Atlantis" is favorita
subject of song and story, and
evennow strange tales are told by
sailors who claim to have seen a
great white city rearing its dnmes
and minarets up through the
green OF the see. Atlantis was a
continental island between Eu-
rope and America S,lon, as long
ago as 600 BIC, learned the story
from him and later from Plato
that the tale has been handed
down to modern peoples.
Atlantis was reigued over by
three kings Of marvellous power,
and the inhabitants were war
like people far advanced in civili-
zation. The three kings finally be-
came SO luffed with power that
they united forces and planned
decent on Europe, the purpose
of which was to destroy and en-
slave. The Athenians met the in
vaders and after fearful battle
gained decisive victory. Two
days later mighty earthquakes
shook the earth, and tremendous
foundations came. When peace
succeeded elemental turmoil, the
seastretched whore once had been
Atlantis.
The present method of electim
senators works to the advantage of
the millionaire who has political
aspirations, or who assumes that ii
will help him in a busine ss or So
cial way to be in the senate. El.
ection by the legislature has plac-
ed in the senate the wealthy men
who could not otherwise have got
there, and whose presence has won
for it the name of the Million
aires club Riches can corrupt
the Legislature they have done
so-but they cannot permanently
corrupt people. Senatorial pat
ronaga can make q state legisIa-
ture subserv,ent. There is not e.
nough of it to influence the action
of the people of smallest state. Te
take the election OF senators from
the legislatures and give it to the
people lis to deprive wealth of it's
undue influence and give merit
the opportunities now denied it.
Corruption thrives in the close at
mosphere of legislative halls. In
the open air of a popular air it can
&C complish little.
Miss Wayne u. Boyer, teacher
Of school at Pleasant Grove,
near Birdsboro, Pa, walked zoe
miles to and from school during
the last term The distance from
her home to the school building
is two and half miles, and this
she walked daily to and from her
home during the school term OF
seven months. The trip was
made in sunshine and rain, and
even the snow-filled roads did mo-
keep the plucky schoolmistress
from her post. Miss Boyer has
an excellent voice and is the hold

won in an oratorical contest.

Colored Baptists have been
holding con vention at Peters,
burg, Va. Among letters read
was one from Senator Tillman, in
which the South Carolinian said:
"While l am considered by many
an enemy to the negro race, can
say with all sincerity / bear them
no i'll will and would gladly see
any fundamentally used which
would make them better men nd
women. If the negroes would
strive after the essential and prac-
teal things of life rather than po-
litical and social equality and
would devote themselves to the
cultivation of the moral side of
their nature, so as to depend upon
character and good reputation,
they would win their way and be
much better off. / bid you and
yours godspeed in your undertak-

Alfred g. Vanderbilt, August
Belmont, II G Friok, A. W. Ros-
sitter and John w. Gates have been
elected to membership in the Au-
tomobile club of America. It is
hoped that these men Of great
wealth will aid in the realization
of an ambitious scheme that the
officers of the club have had in
contemplation. That is the build
ing of a fifty-mile road on Long
Island for the exclusive use of au-
tomobilists, where they can speed
away, smash records, machinse
ami everything else and no one
can arise to say them nay. The
roads to be straightawsy course

cost will be $4,000, and the mon

A DORMANT POWER.

A party of government surveyors are now a work on the Colorado river be- low Needles investiga ting the possibii- it, oI the current of thG; stream being used for the generation of electrical power. These Iaen are electricians. gecdetic and civil engineers. with years of experience in their profession. on their report 1t is believed that the government will make an effort to demonstrate the practioability of the current generators and will probab operate the irrigation plant at Parker by this method. Surveys viii be made of the various canyons through which the river i-ushes on it's way to the gulf and of these maps will Ee made fo- uSe in the departments at Washington. The government believes that the Colo rado river can be used to irrigat- a vast acreage of Arizona and California lands and by the generation Of clsc:ri- cal power water can be withdrawn from the river for this purpose at mere nomiGa, expense. Once these generators are installed the expense of maintaining them will be limited to the ordinary wear and tear of machinery: no other expense attached to them. Private individuals are also looking into the ma tier with a view to putting iA generators for mining purposes. It is claimed that the generators to be used have been in practical use on other StTeanls.-Mohavc Miner.

Among the interesting relics of pre- historic races contributed by Hon. Herbert Brown to the museum at the university there is a loaf of Indian bread. made probably from the mes quite bean. This bread was found in cave in the east end oi the Supersti- tious mountains in 1879. The cave also contained stone axes. arrow heads. etc. This bread is a very rare article in col iections. IL is said that this IS the only piecc Ct the kind that has been seen by collectors. It is in the form of round mass. evidently shaTed in q rude cloth which was tied up by the corn ars. for the print of the fabric cen be seen on the outer surface of the bread.

A TOWN DIs1NCoRPoRATED.

At the session of the board of super
 visors last Saturday a petition was presented by the citizens or Solomon vile asking that the city incorporation be discontinued and that the affairs of the city government be wound up D~ q trustee. The order was madc ana ,he town was disincorporated and in fu- ture all authority in the town vii! be with the justices of the peace and pre- cinct officers. When tho town was in corporated it was believed that it would result in many benefits. but it was soon discovered that to carry on the city government properly would entail an expense greater than town of this size could bear. During the last year the incorporation has practically been q dead letter and the presenting of the di disinCorporation petition last week was the result of a growing sentiment that would be better off with out incorporati ton. One trouble was that entirely too much territory was in
