RAILROAD NOTES

1t is rumOred from a relia BILE
source that the Southern PaCi
fic has decided to abandon all
hope of shutting off the Colora-
do River from the SaltOn Sea.
During the recent flood a
mighty volume of water has
been pouring into the sea and
the stream has cut such a deep
channel at the inta ke of the Cal
ifornia Development Company
that it has been decided to
abandon all attempts to stop it.
The company will Immediately
commence the construction of a
line of track in the foot, hills
that will put the Southern Pa
cific beyond reach of the creep
ing waters for all time. The
waters of the SaltOn are creep
ing toward the last shoo-fy
constructed aud another on
still higher ground is now being
built. 1t is expected that the
last one will not be reached by
the waters of the Salton until
the sixty mile detour has peen
completed.
1t is also reported that nearly
all of the river has left it's chan
mel and is flowing through the
Imperial canal, which has been
Widened from 80 to 200 and 300
feet and the water is pouring
into the SdltOn sink. Some of
the water is being diverted into
the VOlconO lakes and unless
steps arO taken to strengthen
and heighten the banks of the
lakes, it is said that the water
will flood the Imperial Valley
and result in untold disaster.

others would cheerfuly give all the re-
mainder of the globe for the possession of
that intangible thing, an extremity of its
imaginary axis-the northern one preferred.
1t is common to speak of this as the
pole" that we practically ignore the south
ern extremity, and sometimes forget that
every whirling celestial body must perforce
have two poles 1t is similarly so with ref
erence to the celestian poles. which are SIM
ply the points in space toward which the
terrestrial poles are directed and which, of
course, bear not the slightest physical rela-
tioE to our globe. These sky-points are per-
petually shifting at a very slow but uni
form rate because the sun and the moon
disturb the balance of the earth by their at
traction of the slight equatorial bulge of the
latter. This perturbation corrects itself in
q regular period of nearly $4,000 years.
In this however there is no arrangement
of terrestrial ATTITUDES. which remain rela-
lively the same; but within score of years
a somewhat grave complication has come to
light. Kustner at Berlin proved in 1888 that
ATTITUDES vary by a very slight amount, and
observations made at various other parts of

the world have unquestionably confirmed
the fact. Under the auspices of the Inter
national Geodetic Association four observ-
ing stations have been planted on the same
parallel of latitude, two in the United States
and one each in Sicily and Japan. For sew
eral years Prof. c. L. Doolttle, director
of the flower observatory OF the University
of Pennsylvania has co-operated in this
interesting and dainty investigation with
the zenith telescope.
This vagary of the pole must be occasion
ed by a shifting Of the earth's axis from
causes within itself and is probably due 10
arrangements of the matter composing
the globe-a problem of balancing. Very
great surface changes, together with
corresponding changes in the interior, might
account for the effect. But whatever the
cause. it has been definitely determined
that there is a species of double movement
of the pole, involving annual revolution
in a variable ellipse some thirty feet in
length and a circular revolution of some
what smaller diameter with a period OF APP
proximately 42s day The motion in each
case is in direction contrary to that OF
the hands of a clock. 1t is the glory OF
professional astronomy that so small guam
tity is dseernible.

PLEASURE GIVEN BY UNCLE SANS
MILITARY BANDS IN CAPITAL PARKS

uT has certainly never been proved, SCI
encifcaIly or otherwise that there Is
any particular relation between heat
~ and harmony. music and mercury, but
apparently a goodly portion of the cit!-
gems OF Washington believe otherwise. A
Star man had oral evidence of this fact
only the other evening, when he heard a
thin. perspirIng Individual say to a fat
damp person.
Come on. Bill. Let's go up to the park
and listen to the band. It's the best way
know OF for keeping cool"
Whether the statement is worth anything
or not, II is certain that the public band
concerts in the public parks about the city
this summer have proved very popular in
deed. Not single concert but has been
attended by large crowds, and not a person
in the throngs but seemed 10 enjoy the pro-
gram and forget mercury and heat in
music and harmony.
For long time the Marine Band has
given free concerts twice week during the
summer months-at the Capitol Wednesday
afternoons and at the White House grounds
Saturday afternoons-but the extensive pro-
gram arranged for this year. including con-
certs by the Cavalry and Engineer bands,
was IN the nature Of an innovation. Some
of the public concerts have already been
given, but the majority of them are set for
future dates and the resident of the heated
capital city who likes music and who wants
TO forget the climbing mercury can do
nothing better than to memorize the con-
cert schedule and be on hand early when
the bands play.
According to the schedule prepared in
the office OF the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds the Marine Band will
continue its regular semi-weekly concerts,
the United States Cavalry Band from Fort
Myer will play in some OF the public parks
Monday and Thursday afternoons and the
Engineer Band in other parks Tuesday and
Friday afternoons.

swindlers 1t is difficult to say. The care
fully kept books of, the league do not In
dictate the names of their Clients, and
most of them preferred to refrain from in
forming the police of the swinde of which
they had been the object, either through
fear Of being involved in disagreeable pro-
ceedings or simply Of being laughed at for
their RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Terrible vicissitudes often were suffered
in Madrid by those who came here to hand
over their savings to the league. Many
persons recollect recently having seen two
unhappy peasants and q poor French drug
gist, ragged and hungry, wandering night
and day during several weeks through the
streets of the capital after having fallen
into the square of the Spanish prisoner
gang. These unfortunates were finally re-
patriated, thanks TO a subscription made
among their compatriots residing here. af-

ing themselves hugely The admiral was
smoking cigar, the government clerk had
a cigarette between his fingers and the
conductor was pulling contentedly at n
briar. All three of them tapped their feet
on the graveled walk in time to the music
when the strains OF a popular marching air
were heard, and they all remained literal
ly, until the last horn blew.
That's but single instance of the cosmo-
poiitanism of the gatherings that greet the
military bands at their every appearance.
There are In the crowds representatives OF
every profession-government officials and
clerks, business men (promnent and other
wise). private citizens (rich and poor. en-

who went that they might see and be seen.
But for several years the concerts at tho
White House have been sharing in the pop
ulsrity of those at the Capitol and In the
various public parks.
It is, perhaps, superhuous TO say that all
of the public band concerts. matter
where held, are popular with the young peo-
pie, and the heart of many village swain
beats high when the band begins to play.
Love and melody have gone hand-ln- hand
ever since the days when the reed and the
Tyre first produced doubtful harmonles 90
charm the ears of ancient lovers. and it
would be hard to conceive of the number
of romances that bud and blossom on con
cert afternoons.
And let there be no mistake about the
quality of the music dispensed by the
three organizations that are booked 10
play in Washington all summer. The Ma
rine Band has, of course, a worldwide rep
utation. and the Cavalry and Engineer
bands are among the best In the United
States army. The programs are made up
carefully by the respective bandmasters. in
order that during an afternoon the differing
ular airs. rag-time melodies. marching airs
and classical compositions are rendered. and
for encores the bandmasters are always
susceptible to suggestions.
Many of the best people of Washington
have expressed the hope that the concerts
in the principal public parks will be
tnued next summer and thereafter, and
there has even been some talk of raising a
band fund.- in order that the three mill
tary organizations mentioned may be sup
plemented by private bands and additional
concerts given in some of the smaller parks
about the city, Whether or not this talk
comes to anything, it is certain that the
efforts of the three military bands already
in the field will continue to be appreciated,
and that the concerts In the public parks
will continue to grow more and more popu-
lar as the summer rolls on.

In New York and the other large cities of
the east, besides Washington, concerts in
the public parks are feature of the sum-
mer season, and everywhere they are pop
ular. In the great metropolis particularly
the concerts constitute a great source of
pleasure to the tenement house dwellers and
the poor generally, who are without means
to seek recreation and amusement outside
of their own immediate neighborhoods. But
the crowds that listen to the bands In the
public parks of Washington are probably
the most cosmopolitan gatherings to. be

occasions.
