The matter of city printing

Ordinance No. 100 providing

Rev. J. w. Turner, the ew-

board in the second ward, adj
dressed the council in behalf of
theschools and DIR. L. s. Osborne,
chairman of the Board of Educa-
ton made some statements as to
the nee DIS of the schools, after
which it was decided that there
had been an error in that item of
appropriation. Some of the coun-
Gil at least had intended to make
the appropriation for this year
equal to last years appropriation,
counting the improvements which
were to be undertaken by the
council. After a full discussion
of the question, city attorney Jay
drew an ordinance increasing the
appropriation to $4.25O which,
taken together with the state
fund will make about $500 to
which may be added some
small amounts for tuition from
outside pupils. This it is thought
will be ample for the payment of
fairly good salaries to the teach
ers and meet the incidental ex-
penses of the school which is
rapidly growing and already
overcrowding the large school
buildings.

HEAVY GOVERNMENT WORK.

Very few people realize the amount
OF work that is constantly being done
by the United States geological sur
vey. From report received today
from that department at Washington,
we learn something of the extent of
the operations in the west.
For instance the report says that
triangulation in the Rocky Mountains
was carried on during the past field
season by United States Geological
survey parties working in Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and
Texas.
This work consists of the selection
of prominent points from 10 to 30
miles apart. on which sighting targets
of some kind are erected, the best
Angles between each station and sue such
of the others as may be visible are
theu ineaSuTtu WIN AL accurate IN
strument. In this way data are OBJ
tanned that enable the triangulator TO
compute from known base the length
of any of the other lines, with a
probable error of only few inches.
Observations are also made on the
north star from various points, and
the azimuth. or bearing. of each line
is determined This work is called
control work, and is IL necessary pre-.
liminary to the making of topo-
graphic map. The aim of the geolo
gioal survey is to keep this work al
least year ahead of the regular MAJ
work.
Besides triangulation one of the
preliminaries in the preparation OF
topographic maps by the United States
Geological survey is the accurate
determination Of the elevations above
hch ieNei Vi uuihtIoub poiuts III tne
area to be surveyed. These points are
marked by what is technically known
as "bench marks which ordinarily
consist of iron posts, SO inches in
diameter and 4 feet in length. set 3
feet in the ground. Each has a
brass cap appropriately lettered. OH
which the elevation above sea level
to the nearest even foot is stamped
with steel dies. In the mountainous
and rocky areas of the west, in ad
dition to these posts, aluminium tab
let's lettered like the caps ON the posts
are set with cement in holes drilled
in solid rock.
A law of congress requires that this
work shall be done in all localities
under survey, and many thousands of
miles of lines have been run and
marked In this way.
Level parties in the Rocky Moup-
tiains are always provided with camp
outfits, and consist of the levelman-
who is also the chief of the party and
must bs skilled mana rodman, a
teamster, and cook. During the
pats seasons work in the Rocky noun
tains there were parties of this kind
at WORK in two or more localities in

shows that there are other attach
ments" which sometimes accomplish
a benehcent purpose.
An odd affair occurred when was
last at Natchcz, says Mr. Crockett. A
steamboat stopped at the landing, end
one of the crew went ashore to pur-
chase provisions. He went into a sa-
loon on the way. and the adroit in
mates contrived TO rob him of all his
money. The captain of the boat, a de-
termined fellow. went ashore In the
hope Of persuading them to refund. but
they declined.
without further ceremony, the cap
tain, assisted by HIS crew and passen-
gers, somo 300 or 400 in number, made
fast an immense cable TO the frame
building where the theft had been com.
mitted. Then he allowed fifteen min.
utes for the money to be forthcoming,
vowing that II II were not produced
within that time he would put steam
10 his boat and drag the house into the
river.
The thieves knew that be would keep
his word, and the money was promptly
produced.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.

the Matter.
The effort to form a union Of ali
organizations that have for their object
the beautifying Of towns and cities
which will be made in connection with
the convention Of the American Park
and Outdoor association in Buffalo next
year will be widely approved, says the
Buffalo Express. Most OF the large
cities and many towns and villages
have such associations and would glad
ly join in the proposed movement
One Of the objects OF forming union
is 70 interest the government in the
work and get It's support to the extent
OF collecting and making public infor.
nation on the subject, with photo
graphs, etc. showing what can be done
by organized effort. The governments
work would presumably be largely to
show what has been done in foreign
towns and cities. The individual or
ganizations have accomplished much
as II is. but there Is limitless field in
which to work, and government aid
would be valuable.
Every city In the country and many
towns are, for example. filed with un-
slightly billboards and display adver-
tising In tbe form OF immense paintings
on buildings. etc. The improvement So
cleties have given their attention to
this matter for long time. with con.
siderable success. The courts In sew
eral states nave upheld the right Of a
city 20 regulate the size OF billboards,
and there Is every reason for believing
that in' the not distant future billboards
will have disappeared from towns and
cities.
The care and planting OF trees and
shrubs. strengthening the sidewalk
lines. removal Of sidewalk and lot
fences and the beautifying OF back
yards are few Of the other changes
which should be made In towns and
cities. The question OF architecture is
another important point. There is plen-
~ OF work TO be done In Improvement,
and any movement such as the pro
posed union OF the separate societies
which promises TO help the cause
should be heartily supported.

ANCIENT MARINERS.
Queer Beliefs They Held About tn

Queer Beliefs They Held About the
UnexpIOred Ocean.
The landlocked Mediterranean, which
was the only sea known to the Romans
and Greeks of twenty odd centuries
ago, was filed with mysterious terrors,
while the more distant lands bordering
on IL were the abodes OF wonders and
strange peoples. Gods Of monstrOus
shapes ruled the waters, enchanting
sirens dwelt on the islets and rocks, and
on the dry land beyond were TO be
found weird enchantresses, IRE breath
Ing beasts, fierce pygmies and dreadful
cannibals. Adventurous voyagers who
got as far as the pillars OF Hercules,
now called the strait of Gibraltar,
brought back intelligence that the great
ocean beyond was not navigable. II
was part OF the mighty river which
flowed around the fiat earth in an un-
ending stream.
Tradition says that there was In those
times at Gibraltar a stone pillar 100 Gu
bits high, with brass statue on 1t and
an inscription stating this to be the linn
II OF navigation. Beyond was "sea OF
darkness" infested with terrors beyond
the power OF the Imagination to con-
celve. Occasionally a bold navigator
did, nevertheless, venture outside into
the Atlantic, but was compelled TO turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten TO swamp the vessel,
or. more alarming still, gigantic hand,
supposed TO be that OF Satan. would
emerge from the ocean OF eternal gloom
snd warn back the mariners.
Not merely on these accounts was
the ocean impracticable for ships. 1t
