She swooned with ease and grace,

And much of poetry she read.

With frowning fate at last detied,
How many, many tears she she'd

SCIENCE NOTES.
Volcanoes and ores.

Although it is an undOubted fact
that the precious metals are in their
occurrence largely associated with
eruptive molten rocks, it is also {.
curious fact that very little of thcm
is known to be associated with
modern crater eruptions, and while
sulphur, salammOniaC and various
gases are obtained from some of the
threats of comparatively recent SUM
bering or extinct volcanoes, we do not
remember to have heard of a single
NINE of Importance for the precious
metals being operated in the craterS
or on the flanks of any OF our moro
modern volcanoes. In Colorado the
more recent forms of eruptive lavas,
such as the basalts which occur so
abundantly in bikes and OVertiows,
are notably barren, although they
have frequently been prospeCted We
have heard reports that some of the
basalts have on assay shown traces
of gold and silver, but this can be
said of nearly all our eruptive rocks
Nowhere, however, do these modern
basaltic rocks have the precious
metals in sufficiently concentrated
forms to be mined or to be of value,
Why this is we are not prepared to
say; we would suggest that as
mineral veins are usually found at
contact of decomposed eruptiye bikes
rather than in them, or else in tissure
veins in hishly altered and deoOm-
posed lavas, the freshness of these
modern eruptions may not have al
lowed sufficient time for their fissur-
ing and decomposition and the cOu-
centration Of tho ores out of them
into available zones. Gold and silver
are, however, never found in these
lavas in large plates of melted metal,
The gold, if found at all, is diffusCd
in and among the crystals formiI1
their composition, or else is con
centrated by action of water Of
heated vapors after the eruption, lii
veins or veinlets or weak places or in
or at the side of volcanic masses, and
usually involved in the matriX Of
other and baser ores. The gold prob
ably did and does come up involved
in the volcanic matriX at the time of
eruption, but it takes a long series
of processes to gradually leach it out
of this matrix into veins and other
available zones of concentration.

The Utilization Of Peat.

Although electricity is not general
ly regarded by engineers as an
economical heating agent, its use for
this purpose in many industrial opera
tons is increasing This advance is
due to the fact that by aid of cleo
tricity the heat can De generated eX-
actly at the spot where it is to be
come effective. and that the losses
arising from radiation and conduction
are Therefore reduced to minimum.
Even where only moderate tenn
peratures are required there is much
to be said in favor of using cleo
tricity. and when the generating costs
are exceptionally low the actual cost
of the heating operation compares
favorably with the cost of heating
by coal. The latest example of this
use of electric cucrent is in the manu-
facture of peat fuel. Nearly every
country of Europe possesses immense
peat boys and morasses, which are
as vet practically unutilized for III
dustrial purposes.

GENERAL AMITY
Battle Royal Between Pet CANNES on
the Street Interfered With by
Indignant Owners.

The residents near Fifteenth and X
Streets were treated 10 an amusing bat
tie royal yesterday morning, in which
the participants were two beloved doggl
and three very stylishly dressed ladies'.
Two of the ladies' were driving at a
brisk pace up Fifteenth Street with
"Gobbo," short, heavy set bulldog, a
little In advance of their vehicle. When
they neared X Street, Gobbo spied a
white fox terrier In front of a large
brick residence. There wasNevidently a
ieud OF long standing between the dogs.
for each on seeing the other raised his
tail as banner Of defiance and charged
to the attack.
The two ladies'. seeing the danger.
stopped the carriage and called franti-
cally 10 Gobbo to come back. but Cob
DO Needed not. The dogs were now roll
ing over the street In perfect halo of
hair, howls and pure delight. Finding
that their entreaties were in vain. the
ladies got out Of their carriage and bore
down upon the combatants. parasols In
hand
BY this time the owner OF the fox ter
rier, attracted by the din of battle, came
on the scene. Each side gave the other
a whitening glance and dived for their
respective dogs, separating and bearing
away their abused pets with as much
dignity as possible.
II feud existed before between The
logs, one now certainly exists between
he owners. but IL is hoped that fl will I
be settled in more amicable way.

Extension of Capital Trac-
ton Line on Florida
Avenue Opposed.
DANGER TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
City Fathers Say That Proposed Route
Needs More Time Than They Have
at Their Command for STUDY and
Recommend That Bill Be Not Passed.

The District Commissioners yesterday
sent to the House District Committee
an unfavorable report on House bill
1926, Ito require the Capital Traction
Company TO extend its lines by under
9ound electric system east on Florida
Avenue from Seventh Street west. and
Tor other purposes" with the following
statement:
The bill proposes to revive a proyi-
sion in the charter of the Rock Creek
Railway Company-a constituent COM
pany of the Capital Traction Companv-
TO extend its line on Florida Avenue
east to North Capitol Street, which ex-
pired by limitation before the Rock
Creek Railway Company became a part
OF the Capital Traction COMPANY. and
10 further require the latter company
TO extend its line on Florida Avenue
Twelfth Street east to Lincoln Park
to Eleventh Street to and on North
Carolina Avenue to Eighth Street east.
and on Eighth Street east to Pennsvl
rania Avenue to connect with its pres
ent tracks at that point.
Map of Proposed Route.
"A map is inclosed herewith showing
the proposed route in red lines: The
present route of the Capital Traction
Company being shown in blue lines. and
the other railroad systems controlled by
the Washington Traction and Electric
Company being shown in yellow lines
The president of the Capital Traction
company has stated that his company
mas no desire or intention to extend its
route as proposed in the bill. 1t would
also appear from the inclosed map that
tne proposed extension would occupy a
territory now served by the Washington
Traction and Electric COMPANY. and IL
would seem that if further facilities ar.
needed 1t would be better policy to have
that company provide them.
Opposition to Location.
There has been considerable opposf- |
tion expressed TO the location of part of |
this line, particularly on North Caro-
lima Avenue and Eighth Street east. by
citizens living on these streets. On
Eighth Street the proposed extension |
would pass two public school buildings
ana one private school. The Superinten-
dent of Public Schools has informed the
Commissioners that in the opinion of the
Board OF Education the construction of
railroad on this street would seriously
menace the safety of the pupils, and
that several years ago street railway
tracks were removed from in front of
another school building on account of
the danger to the pupils.
The, great Importance of having a
street railway line located to the best
advantage of the public and the people
living along its route makes ii desirable
that considerable study be given to the
matter. more than it is possible for the
Commissioners 10 give this bill in the
time available. and they would there
lore recommend that the extension be
not made at this time, and that the
present bill receive an unfavorable re-
port II
