CITY COUNCIL.
Special Committee Make Report on
the Viaduct.
EDITH STREET GRADE.

special meeting of the city council
was held yesterday afternoon to hear
the report OF the special committee ap-
pointed to inspect the vladuct.
The following report was submitted
and read:
To the Honorable City Council OF AL
buquerque:
Your committee. to whom was re-
ferrcd the question of examining the
viaduct and report as to it's present
state of completion, report as follows:
We find that the walk on the south
side of the viaduct is not sufficiently
protected for space of more than
twenty inches between the floor and
the first board of the railing on the
south side of the wall. We consider
the walk in this condition, absolutely
dangerous to children crossing the wa
duct.
We find also that the contractors
did not cover the approaches to the
viaduct with adobe and that this was
done by the city, and that the reason
able cost of such work is 81 per load,
and that the number of loads of adobe
used were fifty-siX, making a total on
this account of $50.
We recommend that the brackets for
the rest of the walk be provided with
proper holes for fastening on another
board, so as to lully protect persons
crossing from the danger of falling
through, and this should be called to
the attention of the proper persons.
The walk not being completed to the
end of the approaches causes a very
great inconvenience to the citizens,
and we recommend that this work be
completed and the stairway at First
street and on the east of the right of
way of the railroad company be erect
ed at the very earliest practicable mo-
ment

A dog with diamond set in one of

ward of veterinary hospital uptown
1t astonished everybody with its clever

A French poodle, 1t had chic that the
nurses said was truly Partisan. 1t had
also innumerable tricks. You would,
for instance, say to it, "show your dia-

it's lip in such manner that the dia-
mond would glitter.
The dog belongs to wealthy woman
of Trenton, N. ]. She had the brilliant

But they were n little fearful of some

residence in Washington we were COM
parative strangers TO most of the

To summarize the matter of breeds
the Jerseys produce large yield of
rich milk and are good rustlers, but of
very little value for beef; tile Ayrshires
are good milk producers, will thrive on
a poorer pasture than most others, and
are easily fattencd when wanted for
beef; the Observation-Disclosures produce
an immense yield of milk which is not
rich, and are easily made into good
beef, but require the best of care and
an abundance of rich and succulent
food; the Devons produce a moderate
amount of rich milk and are quickly
made into good beef; the milking
strains" of Shorthorns produce good
yield of milk which is of good quality,
and can be turned into excellent beef
at any time, but are not good rustlers
and need the best of pastures to do

pure-blooded cows now in the Gulf
States are Jerseys.-Dalrying in the

They Did Not Dive.

When it was noised around the little
town on the cape that the schooner
sunk offshore was to be visited by
divers with view to raising her, peo.
pie got into their boats and rowed out
to see the unusual sight. Among 9th.
ers, says the New York Evening Post,
were an old farmer and his wife,
whose home was farther inland.
A diver in his suit is curious-look.
ing object out of water, n cross be-
tween Il knight in medieval armor and
i torpedo destroyer, and he is nut
overheard in the same manner as a
ships anchor. The farmer, however,
had his own idea of how diver should
look, and seeing no figure that fitted
his fancy, lie hailed the man In charge
of the work.
Say" he asked, where's your
diverse"
why, you've just seen two of them

The farmer turned his boats prov
toward the shore. Mandy" he said
to his wife, "he's fooling us. Them

MINING COAL IN WATER.
How wrecking Company Extrac
Fuel from Sunkcn Barges.

How n wrecking Company Extracts
Fuel from Sunkcn BarGes.
Coal mining in the waters of Long
Island Sound has been taken up on an
extensive scale by Bridgeport Conn
wrecking company. The sound con-
tains immense quantities of coal. Old
sound captains say that there is enough
coal in the waters to supply New York
for year. There is scarcely heavy
storm on the sound that number of
coal barges are not sunk and the work
of the wrecking company in mining for
the coal Is watched with deep interest.
The method of water mining is sim
pie. In the first place, the wrecks
must be found, and for practical work
the wrecks ought to be in water not
over forty or forty-fye feet deep, and
thirty feet is much easier working.
For this work wreck finders are en-
ployed. The wreck finders consist OF
two thirty-two-foot power boats, gaso-
line engines being used, and each boat
Is manned by two men. The boats run
out to the territory where the wrecks
are believed to be. In each one Is a
large reel containing mile of inch
rope. The boats are run alongside of
each other. and the ends of the ropes
from each boats reel are spliced. This
makes continuous rope two miles
long, and. In reality, lashes the two
wreck finders or sweep boats, as they
are sometimes called, together.
The boats then run in opposite di'
rectlons until they are half mile
apart. Then they take their course
and run parallel to each other, the
windlasses or reels in each boat in the
meantime having been released and
paying out the rope from the stern OF
each boat through ring In the end OF
an iron pole that extends out over the
stern. When sufficient length of rope
has been paid out two large weights
of 300 pounds or more each are run
down the rope from the stern of eacf
boat. These weights sink to the bot
tom and hold the half mile of ropt

about four feet from the ground, SO
that the rope forms sweep half a
mile long, catching anything that
comes in its way. Sometimes one of
the sweep boats will remain ut anchor
and the other boat run around radius
of half mile, and clearing Up mile
of ground. When the sweep rope catch
cs fast 1t is Indicated by the pulling
down, sometimes almost under water,
of the sterns of the sweep boats. The
boats are stopped and the reels are re-
versed to wind up the rope. Slowly
the sterns of the boats come closer and
closer together until they are almost
directly over the point where the sweep
rope is fastened many feet below, Then
the nature of the wreck is determined.
Tie next step, in case the wreck
proves to be n coal barge, Is taken by
the diver, one of the crew always being
diver. He dons his rubber suit and
is let down to the fastening and pro-
ceeds to explore the find. He estimates
the quantity and looks into the quality
of the find; also observes the best man
ner of taking 1t out whether by buck
cts or the suction pump. If the find is
worth while the diver fastens floating
buoy to the wreck. and then the sweep
boats proceed on their way to find more
wrecks After the wreck finders have
marked their find by floating buoy
| the lighters run out. They arc equip
ned with derricks and suction pumps.
| Sometimes the pump is run down into
| the sunken coal barges and showed
around by diver, who goes below to
| tend the pump and place the end where
| 1t will do the best work. This is the
| easiest method of recovering the coal.
| as the coal is sucked up through the
fiye-inch pipe in steady stream and
| falls into screen, the water running
overheard, and the coal passing down
| the chute into the hold of the lighter.
| At other times 1t is necessary to take
| the coal out in buckets or shovels, the
| slovels acting the same as the folding
| shovels OH a great dredger, which
| sends the shovel down to the bottom
and then closes up. bringing up what
ever 1t shuts up on mt the bottom.
1t is not an uncommon thing to find
a coal wreck where the lighter can be
pumped full of coal in half a day, and
Il wreck that will not fill the hold of
the lighter in day is not considered
much of find. A hundred tons of coal
recovered in this way is considered a
fair days work. 1t will be seen that a
cargo of 100 tons of coal. II sold at $40
a ton, would yield n handsome profit to
the water miners" In round figures
it would amount to $1,000 for days
work, and, MS 1t costs nothing but the
labor expended in mining it. the profit
is many times over 100 per cent.

Iquaza? The name has strange
sound, yet the waterfall is one of the
most gigantic of natural phenomena.
In size it exceeds Niagara, and the
volume Of water passing over it is as
great. The width, from shore to shore,
Is 0,S43 feet, but 1t is broken here and
there by islands which lessen the act
ual width of the waterfall to about
5000 feet. Niagara, including the 1000
feet frontage of Goat Island at the
brink, is only ALSO feet wide and the
actual width of the American and Can
adam falls combined is only $3.50 feet.
The South American falls is, therefore.
nearly three times as wide as our most
famous cataract. The height of the
IquaZa falls is also much greater On
the Brazil side Ii is 209.9 feet and on
the Argentina side 1904 feet, 1t is in
such an obscure part of South America

Feeding grain to cows on grass is con-
sidered a good practice because of the
fact that 1t makes the animals much
more quiet when they are accustomed
to being fed small amount of grain at
milking time. The feeding OF four
quarts of cornmeal and bran twice a
day to each animal is considered by one
writer of long experience to be essential

1t is claimed by one writer that the
feeding of grain to cows while on grass
improves the quality Of the milk. In
no case is it advisable to allow COWS to
run down in flesh, and to prevent this
invariably necessitates the feeding Of
some form of grain during the summer
months. Such practice proves great
