ANOTHER OFFICIAL BLUNDER.

The board of public works will before
the thing is over with, fully demon
strate that it was right in its position
on the market house question. Already
vigorous protest Is being made to the
new market house as the general coun-
ell is going TO build it, while everyone
was satisfied with the building the board
of works selected.
When the general council saw the ad-
yortisements Of the board Ct works for
bids ON the market house, nothing was
said. 1t permitted the members to pro-
coed to ask for bids, to accept them and
open them, anG even to award the CON
tract, and then stepped in and said,
Gentlemen, you have exceeded your au.
thority. Wen attend to this market
house business ourselves"
The building as designed for the board
of works was a modern structure, mod
eled after the best market houses in the
country, and was satisfactory TO butch
ers, hucksters, farmers and the public
The general council changed the plans
by opening the edifice at both ends, as
the present market house is opened.
thus exposing in cold weather the great
err portion OF those who sell on the mar
ket,-the hucksters and gardeners. The
only reason this was done was to save a
couple of thousand dollars that the city
could well have spared considering the
benefit its expenditure would have been
in years to come TO those who come to
town in bitter cold weather, and offer
their produce for sale. The only reason
tho general council professed to want to
save the city money was to beguile the
public into the belief that il had done a
wise thing in taking the project out Of
the hands of the board of works and
rejecting the bid for the work as made
ON the original plans. The general coun-
Gil had certain reasons for not wanting
the contract let, and as u miserable sub
terfuge for preventing it, changed the
plans in way that has raised howl
from the gardeners and hucksters, and re
suited in petition of protest being ad-
dressed TO the boards. The market house
planned by the hoard of works was sat
isfactory to everybody, and the one
planned by the general council is not.
The changes made by the general council
ruined the market house, and saved the
city a couple Of thousand dollars. The
fact that the general councils real OBJ
jeet was not to save the city money Is
shown by the fact that few days later
il deliberately gave away $3.50, and the
msyor closed his eyes to it and never ut

BIG PEARL FIND.
Perfect Gem Weighing Twelve Grains

richest finds that ha. been made hen
for several seasons. The pearl wa,
found near this place, and was sold i'm.
mediately for s75. This deal had scarce
ly been contaminated when il was
bought from the original purchaser by
+. b. Read for $50. lie had il for only
a short time. when lac sold onethird in
terest for 500.
The pearl weighs twelve grains, and
ia considered perfect. The very lowest
estimate that could he placed upon il i
s25 per grain. and some think that il
will bring $1,000 on the New York mar
ket. Pearls are being found here daily
and are being sold on the market here
as they never were before. In fact al.
most every one is a pearl dealer. Pearl.
ing will continue for some time yet, a.

EXPENDITURES ARE ALL RIGHT.

The campaign ON the Democratic side
has been reduced TO two contentious !;
the so-called aggressiveness and impul-
siveness of Theodore Roosevelt and the
so-called extravagant expenditures of
the Republican party. These expendi-
lures are credited to Mr.. Roosevelt by
the ignorant Democratic press, while of
course the president has nothing what
ever to do with the appropriations
which necessitate the consequent ex-
penditures for the maintenance of the
government. II transpires that those
expenditures, all things considered. are
in no way an increase over the expen-
ditures of previous administrations; as
for instance, the expenditure of $780,
000, 900 for the Panama Canal is in no
way an ordinary expenditure; it is
simply the taking of so much money
from our surplus and putting it into
this great undertaking, and there is no
Democrat with courage enough, il he
has the inclination, TO say that that
amount should not have been appro-
priated. We are now expending $40
100000 a year for free rural delivery
service, and there is no Democrat with
courage enough. even IL he has the in
clination, to say that we should appro-
pirate dollar less than s20,ls0,000,
which we are to expend this year for
that splendid service, and which will
no doubt be increased from year to
year should the Republicans continue
in power.

Ioftiest Lakes In the World.

The most lofty lakes are found
among the Himalaya mountains in
Thibet. Their attitudes do not, how
ever, seem to have been very accurate
ly gagged, for different authorities
give widely different figures regarding
them. According to some. Lake
Manasarowar, one of the sacred lakes
of Thibet, is between $4,000 and TO-
900 feet above the level Of the sea, and
II this is so it is undoubtedly the lofti-
est in the world. Two other Thibetan
lakes, those of Chatamoo and Surakol.
are said to be 1900 and Is. 400 feet in
altitude respectively. For a long time
1t was supposed that Lake Titicaca,
in South america, was the Hottest In
the world. It covers about $500 square
miles. is 924 feet lip its greatest depth
and is 1900 feet 'aboye the sea. In
spite Of inexactitude with regard to
the measurements Of the elevation OF
the Thibetan lakes they are no doubt
considerably higher than this or any
other.-Baltimore Herald.

POWER OF DESERT PLANTS.
Mysterious Strength Of orowths Put
to Good Use by Roaming
Indian Bancs

A complete solution of the mysterious
strength Of desert plants will prove Of
great economic value to the United
States, aside from the important infor-
nation 1t will give regarding the fun
damental processes OF protoplasm, says
the National Geographic Magazine. In
former times bands Of roaming Indians
inhabited the desert regions OF the
southwest. They lived in comparative
abundance. and all the country was no
less arid than 1t is to-day. Doubtless
they obtained food from the plants of the
desert just as easily as the Papago In.
dams obtain drinking water from the
barrel cactus. White men can do like
wise as soon as they understand these
plants, and will find many practical uses
for the cactus and yucca. An UNDER
standing of the source Of strength Of
desert plants will also enable the farmer
who irrigates his semi-arid land to judge
how much water to apply and how often
in order to gain the best results. It will
also help him to develop alkili and
draught-resistant types and thus to re-
claim new areas.
