Sand Dune. In oascony.

S0n0 Ou0eS IN 0oscOny.
One Of the most interesting and re.
markable Of the many regions for the
observation Of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux ard Bayonne, in Gascony
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along a line of 100 miles III
length. some 100000 cubic yards Of
sand.
The prevailing westerly winds con
tinue picking up the surface particles
from the westward slope, whirl them
over to the inward slope, where they
are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward. In the course of years
there has thus been formed complex
system Of dunes. all approximately par
allel with the coast and with one an
other and of all attitudes up to $50 feet.
These are marching steadily inward
ct a rate Of from three to six feet
year, whole villages having sometimes
been torn down to prevent burial and
rebuilt at distance.

TO CHANGE RIVER COURSE

Jacksonville Metropolis Senator
James P. Taliaferro, Capt c. e. Gar
ner and Capt. Skunk left last night
for Washington to confer with the War
Department relative to a proposed
change in the channel of the st. Johns
river at Danes Point; also to ascer-
tain what can be done about the re-
moval of the rocky ridge in front of
the Clyde docks, which interfere with
the loading of their steamers to the
desired depth This change will be of
material benefit, as a careful eXan1ina-
ton has been made by Capt. Skunk,
who believes that the proposed change
at Danes Point is better than the
one originally proposed. and Capt.
Shunk's judgment is backed by all the
practical river men whose judgment
in this matter is sound.

BIG PRISON DELIVERY.
Mayor Harrison and Supt. Sloan
Preparing to Release Large
Number.

""SoE harFAsOn ana Supt. Sloan
Preparing to Release a Large
Number.
From the Chicago Journal.
Mayor Harrison and Supt John ].
Sloan of the bridewell are preparing
for the biggest jail delivery that ever
occurred in Cook county The inten-
ton is to make a wholesale release Of
prisoners in the gloomy pile at Cali
forriia avenue and West Twenty-sixth
street. The delivery will be with the
he thinks it necessary. But only per-
sons harmless to the community are
to be let go, and Mr.. Sloan is now
making up list for the executive to
pardon. in which the incest discrimina-
ton has to be exercised.
Overcrowding is given as the reason
for the presentation of the unprece-
dented list of bridewell pardons which
the Mayor will be asked to sign.
The population of the bridewell is
now 1872, number far in excess of
previous records. The institution can
comfortably house $500 persons, and
Mr.. Sloan admits that he will ask
that 100 to 200 of the prisoners be re
leased. Humanity dictates that some
thing be done, the officials say, for the
overcrowding has gone to such an ex-
tent that 100 prisoners now sleep night
ly on cots and mattresses laid on the
stone floors outside of the cells.
Among those to be turned loose upon
the community are the following:
Convalescents. women who had be-
come entangled in "clothesline" quar-
Frels. prisoners on insignificant fines,
who have practically worked out their
time, and particularly out-of-town pris-
oners. These formal least one third Of
the total now in durarce under Mr..
Sloan.
Offenders against property or per-
sons will in no case be let out. Re
peaters," with whom the dark insti-
tuition abounds, will be retained. Con"
men will not be permitted to resume
their practices.
In the past two days the population
of the brfdewell has grown in start
ling manner Out of 125 persons sent
thither by the magistrates in forty
eight hours, eighty-two were from out
of town. They are, Mr.. Sloan said,
largely from neighboring states, and
came to Chicago to 'see the elephant
landing finally in the house of cor
rection. Mr.. Sloan thinks their aid will
soon be needed in moving the crops.
and that the most Chicago can be
asked to do is to take care of her own
| offenders.
AS Mr.. Sloan passed up and down
the corridors, looking in upon the pris-
| oners, many affecting scenes were en-
| acted. The inmates had in some way
peculiar to themselves learned that
| there was to be a general release, and
| they besieged the superintendent to
"be a good fellow" and remember them.
The list for pardon will be presented
| to Mayor Harrison tomorrow, it is
| thought proba BILE by Mr.. Sloan.
