VICTORIA FALLS.
Called "the Most BeautifuI Gem sf
 the Earth's Scenery"

The Zambezi river, carrying a huge volume of water two miles in width, as 1t reaches the western borders of Rho desia precipltates itself into a cavern ous gorge and thus traverses the north ern plains of the country.
 This great drop in the river has pro duced "the most beautiful gem of the earth's scenery" the Victoria falls. AL most twice as broad as Niagara and two and half times as high, an i'm mense mass of water rolls over It's edge to preclpitate itself in magnificent splendOr 400 sheer feet into the narrow canyon below.
 Undeterred, the RhOdeslan engineers, without detracting from the natural beauty of the surroundings, threw across the canyon a splendid $50 foot cantalever bridge and thus opened the way to Tanganylka, to Uganda, to Cairo.
 This bridge, the greatest railway en- gineering triumph of Africa, deserves more than passing notice. It consists of a central span weighing approxi- mately 1000 tons, 800 feet in length and 30 feet wide. The steel work is of rolled steel weighing 490 pounds to the cubic foot. The end posts of the bridge are over 100 feet long The pull on the anchorage apparatus is about 400 tons.
 The contract for the construction was obtained by an English firm of bridge builders-the contract time fifty-6ve weeks. The work of erection was car ried on from both banks, the material being taken across the river by means of an aerial electric railway. The cleo trical conveyor of this cable way was capable of dealing with ten ton load at lifting speed of twenty feet per minute and traversing speed of 300 feet minute.
 An initial difficulty in the construc- ton of the bridge was the securing of firm foundation, and owing to the crumbling nature of the bank much greater quantity of concrete was neces- sary than estimated.
 The construction was happily unat- tended by accidents of serious nature, though a few slight accidents to body work and the replacing from England of one piece of steel work were record ed. In spite of these delays the bridge was linked up at a. m. on April l. 1905 or exactly forty eight hours ear Her than had been estimated year be- fore.-Lieutenant Colonel Sir Percy Girouard in Scribner's.

Presence of Mind.

Mime. Rachel, the great actress, was resting alone in her dressing room one night preparatory to going on the stage when a man suddenly entered and, drawing a dagger, said he was going to kill her if she did not at once con- sent to marry him. The actress saw at a glance that the man was mad and meant what he said. So with the ut most coolness she replied: Certainly will marry you. wish nothing better. Come with me to the priest at once. 1 have had him come here for the pur- pose" She took his arm, and they went out togetber-to where there was assistance, of course, and the man was immediately put under arrest.-Phila- delphia Record.

 ''Cure him." said her companion. Gas a woman l know cured her husband. who used to stay out every night. One night he came in very late, or, rather. very early, about 3 o'clock in the morn ing. He came home very quietly. In fact, he took off his shoes on the front doorstep. Then he unlocked the door and went cautiously and slowly up stairs on tiptoe, holding his breath. But light was streaming through the keyhole of the door of the bedroom. With sigh, he paused. Then he open ed the door and entered. His wife stood by the bureau fully dressed.

Mamma, Is got a stomach ache, '" said Nellie Bly, six years old.
 That's because you've been without lunch. It's because your stomach is empty. You would feel better if you had something in it."

Action is BeinO UrOed

OOlOnSl FISu JSWSh, VIII PlOSOi' 'S port on the Colorado river situation at the meeting of the chamber of com merce directors Friday afternoon.
 At the last meeting of the directors Mir. Smythe urged action looking to a convention in San Diego at an "eary date as a means of crystalizing public oplnlon in favor of some positive action by the government. He thought, however, that such action should be deferred for one week in order that the chamber of commerce might be sure of It's ground before calling the proposed convention, MT. Smythe, who returned to Los Angeles Friday morning, was lntervled aby a Sun re- porter and spoke as follows:
 "It would not be proper for mel to anticipate the report of the committee to the chamber of commerce, but, speaking for myself, you may say, that l believe San Diego should take .the initiative by summoning a Colorado river convention to meet in this city early next month, with delegates from Arizona and Southern California. | The
 ,s-s--~- object of the convention would be to consider the present serious situation, to fix the responsibility, for swhat has occurred, and to find .Sthel best way out of the difficulty. nIt is a matter of the most urgent importance to San Diego. since 1t involves the interestssof thousands of citizens of thlss county directly, and indrectlyl the future of this city as port and Irailroad ltermi- nal. The valley of the LowerlColora- do is the strongest asset which, San Diego has in the way of Its tributary territory.
 "As said in my Fourth of July address at Mission Cliff, l believe it is absolutely vital that Lower California, at least as far south as the head ofS Sthe Gulf, should be annexed to the United States. This course is dictated, by the logic of events and the inexorable necessities of the situation which .has arisen Ek Qua. control of the stream Is impossible, while abandonment of the region would mean the loss of terri tory which will ultimately sustain sa million people In a compact district lying in Southwestern Arizona, South eastern California and Northern Mexico.
 Mature has made the rich delta of the Colorado one and inseparable. ln- ternational boundaries must conform to the demands which nature has laid down. Mexico is alone responsible for the present situation, The presi- dent and congress of Mexico granted rights to the California Development Go. which the president and con- gress of the United States hadi dis tlnctly refused to recognize. Under these Mexican rights. the new head ing was made just below the inter national line Through that new heading the entire stream now flows to Salton Sink. Mexico, pledged1 by the treaty of Guadalupe Hldalgo to maintain the navlgability of the stream, has done an act which results in abolishlng navigation and inflicting damages amounting to millions upon citizens of the United States. In the language of the treaty, navigation of the river was to be free and common to the vessels and citizens of both countries; and neither shall without the consent of the other, construct

When Mr.. Moody's nomination was laid
before the Senate, Senate Carmack of
Tennessee expressed the opinion that a
nan who didn't have sense enough to re-
frain from introducing a bill that was
unconstitutional in two respects didn't
have sense enough TO sit on the Supreme
bench.
This was a reference TO Mr.. Moody's
attitude as a member of the House when
he introduced a bill making lynching Of
colored persons a Federal offence, but pro-
viding a penalty only for the lynching Of
-colored persons"
Senator Bacon OF Georgia expressed the
belief that the bill was clearly unconstitu-
tional and for that reason he could not vote
to elevate to the highest tribunal the man
who had introduced it. Senator Culberson
OF Texas attacked Mr.. Moody's nomination
on the same ground.
Senators Spooner and Aldrich came to
Mr.. Moody's defence. Mr.. Spooner read
a letter from Mr.. Moody in which he said
he had introduced the Objectionable bill
at the request Of a former Attorney-Gen-
eral OF Massachusetts,, and that Senator
Hoar had introduced an exactly similar
bill. also by request, and Senator Aldrich
explained that Mr.. Moody had told him
that he regarded the bill as unconstitutional
and did not intend to give it his support.
Senator Lodge spoke also in Mr.. Moody's
behalf, telling Of his high standing as a
member of the Massachusetts bar and as
a citizen OF that State.
After Senator Aldrich's speech some
change of feeling toward Mr.. Moody was
manifested on the Democratic side. Sena-
tor Bacon, who had previously said that he
would vote against Mr.. Moody's confrma-
ton. explained that in view of the state
ments made by Mr.. Aldrich he would now
vote for Mr.. Moody. Senator Mallory Of
Florida also informed the Senate that while
he had intended at the beginning of the
session to oppose confirmation, he would
now vote for Mr.. Moody in the light Of the
statement made by Senator Aldrich,
The opposition faded away with these
speeches and the nomination was con
frmed by a viva voce vote, one or two
| Democrats responding when the negatives
were called for.
When the time for acting upon Mr.. Bona
parties nomination came, Mr.. Culberson
asked for a roll call, but Vice-President
Fairbanks declared that the request was
not backed by a sufficient number OF Sena-
tors to have the call ordered A vote
was then taken viva voce and anywhere
from twelve TO twenty Senators responded
in the negative.
The confirmation Of the nominations
| of Mr.. Metcal and Mr.. Straus followed
without incident.

STREET CLEANING STRIkE OFF.
Drl, ers 90 10 work To-day on Pr Omise Of
shorter Hours.

A committee Of striking drivers in
the Street Cleaning Department called on
Supt. Craven late yesterday afternoon and
upon his assurance that their demands
would be granted agreed to return to work
this morning.
Supt. Craven told the committee to pre-
sent to-day in writing the demands of the
strikers. Corporation Counsel Ellison, who
was present at the committees visit, also
promised the men that their demands would
be granted.
Hereafter the men will report for work at
6:3OA NJ. instead of at Q O'Clock a. formerly
and will quit at 8 in the evening. The
matter Of fines for hardness in reporting at
the stables was adjusted to the satisfaction
Of the strikers committee. Henceforth
the fourth offence will be punishable by a
fine Of one days pay.
The drivers struck not so much for in
creased wages as for shorter hours. They
complained that While they were only sup
posed to work eight hours their day often
stretched to more than twelve hours, and
for this extra work they demanded over
time.
