Ebert Hubbard Talks to Large Audi
ence at Pythian Temple.

E1bert Hubbard self-avowed PhiHstine
and apostle of the religion of work, deliv-
ereG his lecture on the Age of Common
Sense to q large and attentive audience at
the Pythian Temple last night. In an easy
and convincing manner he traced the his
tory of civilization from its inception to
the present time: the growth of COM
merce from the time that the savage mind
discovered that a log of wood would sup
port his weight on water to the steel-hulled
ship of today; from the production of fire
by the rubbing together of two sticks to
the safety match.
He paid his respects to the educational
system of the colleges to the effect that
they did rot teach the student how to do
things, but that happily they were becom-
ing more practical and that In the course
OF time the college graduate would be forti-
fed for the battle of life with an even bal
arsce of mental and manual ability.
In his talk OF two hours the lecturer
commanded the closest attention Of his au-
dience. and was repeatedly forced to pause
In his remarks by the hearty applause
which greeted bis many telling points.

FRANKLIN SQUARE SPRING.
Health Officer Recommends That It
Be Abandoned Because of Impurity

Health officer Recommends That It
Be Abandoned Because of Impurity.
The Franklin Square spring, one of the
earliest of the capitals natural sources of
water supply, has succumbed to the march
of progress. DR. William c. Woodward,
District health officer, has recommended
that the spring be abandoned, and that the
various pumps and hydrants in the down
town section, which derive their supply of
water from the spring, be removed Com
missioner mcfarland has approved the
recommendation and the question will now
be submitted to the engineer department
for consideration before final action is
taken.
For more than year the Franklin Square
spring has been regarded with suspicion
because of the varying quantities of i'm
puritieS found in its water at each chemical
analysis. The health department has an
established standard specified as the per-
missible limit of certain foreign matter
carried in water, which standard represents
pure waters for this locality and the last
four analyses of water from the Franklin
Square spring, on June s, October g. and
November ID, 1905, and January 5, 1906,
have shown excessive quantities of both
nitrates and chlorine in the affluent. In
explaining these examinations of the water
today DR.. Woodward said that the excess
of chlorine particularly showed almost I'M
mistakably that the water was subject to
animal contamination. That this compo-
nent varied in quantity is regarded as es-
pecially dangerous.

Plenty of Black Bass.

An old steamboat man, who has followed
the water almost half a century, the greater
portion of the time on the Potomac and
the tributaries OF Chesapeake bay, when
asked by a reporter for The Star yester-
day evening what had become of the black
bass once so numerous in the river. said
that the bass were just as numerous now
as ever. but that the laws OF the two states
on each side OF the river had stopped the
use OF hauling seines except at certain
seasons of the year. when the fish are hard
to catch. He also stated that Pohick creek,
which empties into the Potomac a short
distance below Mt. Vernon, was still full
OF the fish and he had seen several barrels
full of them caught In one haul within the
past few months The fish grow TO large
size In Pohlck and are as gamey and full
of fight as the most ardent angler could
desire

SHORTAGE OF, SAND AND GRAVEL
River Beds Almost Exhausted and
Other Sources of Supply Sought.

Reports coming from the sand and gravel
digging grounds on the Potomac state that
the known beds of gravel on the river are
about exhausted, and unless new deposits
are located, II is only a question of a
short time before the local sand and gravel
companies win have to seek deposits on
shore to meet the heavy demand for the
material. The use of concrete largely In
building work of ali kinds has in the past
two or three years greatly increased the
demand for gravel. and the river beds have
been worked day and night to meet the
demand, and as a consequence. the beds
have become exhausted. For several
months, II Is stated, the local sand COM
panies have had men out hunting on both
sides of the river for available beds of ma
terial, but none have yet been found. This
scarcity of gravel has caused sharp ad-
vance In the price of the material, and 1t is
still going up. 1t is stated that borlngs
will shortly be made along the river below
the Long bridge In the hope that gravel
may be found there.
