Superinten dent Vedder has made
many appeals to the people regarding
the proper time to sprinkle He asked
that they cease the use of the water
at the time prescribed in the ordi-
nance and also that they do not begin
to sprinkle their lawns before the
hour set for beginning. These re-
quests have not been needed. Men
and women have wilfully used the
water after time and before time.
At the last session of council an ordi-

Took Their Breath.

One of the biggest crowds that ever visited
Elitch's gardens in Denver fiocked there
Sunday afternoon tn witness the Initial per-
formance in this state of Diayolo in his
thrilling loop-the loop" act. half an hour
bs fore the man in red was ready to mount
his wheel and start upon his perilous de-
scent fully 25,Q00 people had entered the
grounds.
The perform ance passed of smoothly. As
Diavolo walked.up TO his lofty platform to
begin his remarkable evolutions Rstriie a
weeel hush fell upon the waiting thous
anus. Then there was few moments of
waiting which seemed like hours to the
eager spectators who had heard so much of
this daring act but had never witnessed it.
Then Diavolo placed his wheel in position,
and made ready for the hair raising descent.
Not word was to be heard from the great
throng.
Suddenly he let go his hold and shot down
ward like a flash of Lightning An invol-
untary gasp rose frem the spectators, which
rider struck the upward curve in the great
loop. But there was no pause in his flight.
As quickly as he shot down the incline he
mounted the grade-up, up, the breathless
thousands expecting every moment to see
him stop and fall back or shoot over the
edge OF the wooden loop.
But before they could realize what was
taking place the man In red had passed the
top OF the curve. hanging directly head
downward and was flashing down the steep
descent to the finish. A moment more and
he stood safely on the ground at the end of
the loop The feat is something new and so
utterly daring as to take away the breath of
spectators.

for Permanent Profits-some Inter-

Special to The Journal.
New York, Dec. PA Wall street
publication of considerable promi-'
nence says that among the remarks
attributed to James J. Hill, there is
one in circulation to the effect that
the railroads operating in the great
agricultural sections of the central
portion of the United States and hav-
ing gulf connections will be the most
profitable in the near future, and it
is those that the bargain
ought to watch. Whether Mr.. Hill
expressed such an opinion or not,
there are no means of knowing, but
the fact that currency is given to
such story is sufficient to draw at
tention to the roads indicated by it,
and at least affords an excuse for
looking into the matter somewhat to
see whether there is any basis for
the flattering opinion of them alleged
to be held by one the first authorities
on railroad prospects in the country.
Up to this time the public has been
so satisfied with the obvious fact that
the railroads generally have been and
are enjoying unexampled prosperity,
that it is doubtful whether thought
has been given to the question wheth-
er this prosperity is greater in one
section than in another, or in what
direction the greatest further growth
lies. IL seriously put, this would IN
deed be very difficult to answer, be-
cause it would require the collection
and careful comparison of a mass Of
statistics and data, all of which might
not be obtainable, as we'll as a care
full judgment as to their bearing I'M
der the varying conditions Of railroad
business which obtain in the different
parts of the country.
1t is a fact, however, that the rail-
roads operating within the territory
outlined in the Hill story are making
most excellent returns Of earnings,
and, as the capital required to do
business on them is comparatively
light. and they have only in a very
minor degree to face the cost of
operating in cities, which is so enor-
mously expensive east of the Missis-
sippi, their speculative prospects are
probably better than those afforded
by properties operating in the older
and more settled sections. AS to the
way. in which freight traffic is build
ing up in the United States as a whole
and In it's various sections, may be
judged from the following table OF
increases In amount and ratio of the
mileage operated, tons carried and

of the growth of the railroad freight

they also show a diversity Of move
nnent in the several sections. care has
to be taken not to mistake it's sig
nificance. In a measure the largest
increases in amount and ratio have
followed the greatest additions to
mileage, but there is no question but
that expansion is seen most in Those
sections that contain the trunk lines
converging into the most important
centers Of population. Group H., in
which are included the states of New
York and Pennsylvania, is credited
with something more than one-fifth Of
the new mileage, two-ffths of the in
crease in tonnage and a third of the
increased ton mileage. With these
changes. naturally must also go the
credit for greatest added density.

TO the jewels of saint. 1t has been
customary for painters who choose for

In majority of cases they are depict
ed as devoid of ornament or decora-
ton, and in the few exceptional in
stances, as when the subject of the pie

few and purely symbolic, being sufti-

TRAGEDY OF AN INSECT.
The Sand Fly Lives but n Day After

The sand Fly Lives but a Day After
Coming Into the Light.
Here is the tragic story of the sand
fly.
1t has but day TO live in the light.
In order to earn the right to that day
Of life 1t lives from one to three years
In darkness down in the mud at the
bottom of lakes or rivers. Moreover,
the sand fiy is perfectly harmless. 1t
does not bite. II has no sting. 1t can
not even eat. All 1t can do is to fit
about for a few hours, enjoying the
light of day or the glare of an electric
lamp.
The sand fly is known to scientists
Familiarity as the May fly. In scientific
terms 1t Is called ephemerida. This
name Is taken from the Greek word
ephemeros. which means lasting only
for day To the scientists the sand
fly is one of the most interesting and
beautiful Of insects.
The fly lives but day ut most, but
before it sees the light it has lived for
from one 10 three years under the wa
ter in the form Of what the scientists
call a nymph This nynph can both
walk and swim. rs ii grows it molts,
and after about the ninth mott tiny
wings appear On its thoraN. These
grow larger until the insect comes forth
from the water sand fly. 1t then has
but one duty to lay its eggs This
done, the sand fly zigzags through the
air until its brief life is ended.-Chicago
