1t happens sometimes when man
has done something mean or wicked,
and is caught at it, that he comes, or
sends word to out Office, and asks US
not to mention the scrape. A better
way for him to do would be to come to
our Office just before he expects to do
the mean or wicked thing and ask our
advice about it, and we euarantss that
il he follows our advfes, he will not get

PETE BAKER IN "CHRIS AND LENA"
The next attraction announced, to APP
pear in our city tonight, is we'll known
and eminent German dialect comedian,
Mr.. Pete Baker, grand scenic revival of
popular comedy. "Chris and Lena
Mr.. Baker has starred in this piece in
all the principal cities of the United States
as well as Europe and the different
islands, and at all points was met with a
most liberal patronage and received the
highest ecomiums from both the press
and public. For the present tour of the
organization the management has en-
gagged the best talent available and all
were secured with view as to the special
fitness Of he or she as to the part to be
performed. Tie play is interpreted with
specialties from beginning to end in
which all the latest songs and dances are
introduced by the different members of
the company. 1t is claimed for the en-
tertainment that it is a roaa from the rise
of the curtain on the first act until its fall
on the last. Prices, rs, IS, so and Is

No comedy opera in years has won
such universal commentator as king
Dodo," the new and now reigning sue
cess. 1t filed with bright and catchy
lines of the most melodious order. The
book is by Frank Pixley and the music by
Gustav Luders. These gentlemen have
within few years won golden opinions
of foremost critic of our day, and it has
been safely asserted that they will win
for themselves tie pround title of
writers pre-emlnent of comic opera. ;"
Gilbert and Sullivan held that distinc
ton on the continent of Europe and the
mantle is sure to fall on these young
writer's, who claim the United States as
their home. It is treat to hear so
many pleasing numbers in one evening,
and to listen to comedy above The usual
low comedy of to-day. The whole
makes up a performance second to none
and we can assure our patrons that they
will see a production that will in every
way reach the magnitude of all produc-
tions given under the supervision
of Hergs W. Savage, who has spared
neither expense or time in giving to the
public at large the very best. 1.-The
Sultan of Sulu," ''The Prince of Pill
sen" and peggy from Paris" are
among the successes touring the states
and if liking Dodo'' is given the recep-
ton his Royal Majesty deserves, Mr..
Savage has promised to include our
city on his regular yearly list. Patrons
of the Grand viii do well to secure seats
well in advance as the King will he

DESTRUCTION OF CITY MAINS.
EIectrOIysis Is Causing Great DAM
age and Expense I'm MetrOpOIi-
tan Systems.

Destruction of underground mains
by electrolysis is rapidly nearing
point at which it ceases to be a phe-
nomenon OF technical interest to
physicists, says the Electrical Review,
and becomes a commercial fact of
startling magnitude. Water, gas and
steam mains are being destroyed so
rapidly that within a comparatively
brief period renewals and replace
ments on a vast scale viii become
necessary. Their pOstponement in
the case of gas mains accounts for
the rapid destruction of asphalt pave
ments in many cities and imposes
grievous burdens upon municipalities
IN the effort to maintain good road
ways. The eating off of service pipes
and the erosion of mains accomplish
rapidly what would be brought about
by natural causes much more slow
ly, and explain why the leakage loss
of water in distribution is so enor-
mously great, and why the building of
new reservoirs and the laying Of new
lines of mains is constantly necessary
under conditions which seem to show
a per capita consumption of five
times as great as the combined use
and waste of any city since civiHza-
tion began.

Odars Peculiar to Certain Sections
Would Guide One Acquainted
with New York.

"'If you were to set me down in New
York blindfolded / could give pretty
close guess as to my whereabouts by
the smell of that particular locality"
said a salesman in The Swamp, re-
lates the New York Times. IF my
nose seemed stuffed with hides and
tallow l should know that I was in
the immediate vicinity of Gold. Cliff
or Frankfort street. A pronounced
odor of spices would indicate Fulton
street, in the neighborhood Of the
East river; but if tea and coffee pre-
dominated the chances would be
strongly in favor of Front, Pearl or
Water street. A saccharine quality in
the air would suggest the sugar and
molasses neighborhood of William,
Wall or Front streets. Perfumes
would place me at once on Leonard
or Chambers, or possibly Grand
street, while a strong odor of soap
would let me know that Pearl or Muir
ray street, or, perhaps, Greenwich or
Hudson was not far Off If the atmos-
phere was fairly reeking with the
scent of drugs, 1 could figure out that
l had wound up somewhere near Full
ton, William or Cliff street. Tobacco
would give me a wide range, but I
should probably be near Pearl, Pine
or Broad street. The smell of hops
would be a sure indication of White
hall street. West and South streets
have their distinctive odors of ship
ping and seamen's supplies"

EIGHTY-SEVEN YEARS TO COOL
Lava Streams from Mexican Volcano,
JOruIIO, still Hot Beneath
the Surface.

1t is scientifically reported that the
lava streams from Vesuvius in 1858
were so hot II years later that steam
was issuing from the cracks and crew
ices, while the lava beds from the erup-
tion of Etna in 1887 were found to be
steaming hot just below the top crust
as late as 1910, says Stray Stories.
But still more remarkable are the
scientific reports of the volcano
Jorullo, in Mexico. This sent forth
immense streams of lava in 1859. In
1850 the lava beds were examined by a
party of scientists, and it was found
that a stick thrust into the crevices in
stantly ignited, although there was
no discomfort experienced in walking
on the hardened crust
Again, some 40 years after the erup-
tion, it was visited by scientists and
reported to be steaming in many
places, and even 81 years after the
eruption two columns of steaming va
por were found to be issuing from the
crevices. = Sometimes the upper crust
of such a stream of lava cools so that
plants and hchens make a precarious
growth on the surface, while a few
tset beneath the lava is almost red
