Enjoy Life at the White City, savin
Rock.
About sixty-five orphan children Of
the County Home. at Shelton avenue
and Bassett street New Haven, were
yesterday entertained by the manage
ment of the White City. The children
came to Savin Rock in a special car
and spentthe rest of the day among the
varied attractions of the White City.
The favorite stamping ground seemed
to be the bumps, while the scenic rail-
way, chutes, myth castle and the cir
Gle swing claimed a great deal of at
tention. The ice cream parlor was
given no rest at all, and great havoc
was made at the peanut and popcorn
stand. Shortly before 8 O'clock the de-
lighted and very tired little ones re-
turned to their homes, thoroughly
pleased with their outing.

FUNNY TELECRAPHIC MESSAGES.
Washington Newspaper Correspond

Home Papers.

Newspaper men in Washington often
receive very queer assignments and
messages from the home Office. and 1t
is sometimes only after close reason

what Is wanted.
One of these correspondents received
a message recently to Send 800 adj
ditional rats" This, Of course, was
easy after he learned that an assist
ant sent In a short description about
Kidding the Capitol of rats. Another
writer was staggered when he got a
telegram from his managing editor
which read "Your story does not agree
with our headline. Please explain"
Someone had probably mixed up the
headings.
In the latter part of last February
one correspondent was telegraphed by
a new editor, not familiar with Wash
ington affairs, to get interviews With
distinguished Congressman and. send

Congress would adjourn. The news

Yankee Genius,

A New Englander from d small ttital
town In Massachusetts d, .slidrt time
ago had occasion to visit Europe. and
during his trip to Rome was shown a
certain shrine before which burned a
solitary taper -
The taper was explained by the
guide al having burned before this par
ticular shrine for over seven HUNDRED
years. 'He is a miraculous taper
stated the guide. "Never he has been
put out. He have burned for seven
long century, and not once has lie teeli
extinguish.'
The Yankee was silent with awe for
a moment. and then, leaning his lank
body far over, he gave tile light a gen
tie puff, extinguishing the flame. with
a triumphant chuckle lie turned 70 his
stricken guide and exclaimed "Wa'al,
it's acut now.'

nature upon which it fell. 1t is a sin
gular thing that this Western oil, a
few weeks after sprinkling, combines
with the dirt and the r0adbed loses all
semblance of grease.
While it is common occurrence Tor
asphalt pavenients in cities to become
softened by the heat of the sun to such
a degree as to be injured by the wheels
of heavily loaded wagons, no difficulty
of this character has been experienced
with the surface of an oiled road. The
odor which is first experienced after
the oil is applied, soon disappears al
most entirely. Other advantages noted
on oiled roads are the help to eyes.
as there is no reflection of the sun from
the roadway such as is found on the
white road surfaces, and there is never
any dust from an oiled road.

The people of the United States are
apparently very fond OF the bitter as
they are of The sweet, for during the
year 1904 they consumed 23,f16971
barrels of salt. During the same year
there was a total production Of salt In
the United States of 22030,0O2 bar
rels Cof go poundsj having d valuation
of $G.02t ,222. This production In 1904
was the largest ever reported except
In 1902. A feature worthy of note
during 1904 was the increase In the
production of rock salt, 1,193,620 bar
rels being the amount mined. The
greatest share 81 this came from
Louisiana, where rock salt, Il easily
and cheaply procured from the
mounds" found in the southern part
OF the State.

dry seasons in that region; had become
q serious nuisance. The following year
probably double the mileage expert
mented with was oiled, and other corn-
ties in the state also began expert
ments. The results obtained were so
astonishing and SO successful that the
practice rapidly increased. Every
county in southern California used oil
and then the practice began to spread
north. Similar experiments, however,
when carried out in the East, proved
complete failures; the Eastern oil
failed to bind on the surface of the
road, and did not lead to the desired
result. After a number of expert
ments it was found that while the Cali
fornia oil has an asphaltum base the
Eastern oils have paraffin base. the

had the advantage of higher ground,
