WASHINGTON AS A MODEL CITY
The Movement Has Lately Been Given
Decided impetus.

The most notable piece of coopera-
make the national capital a model city
in its social and economic environ
ment, as well as in broad avenue and
public building.
The Washington monument has a
stone from every state in the union.
The civic neglect of the District of
Columbia has come from the same
quarries. For congress is the common
council of the district and year after
year had administered defeat to mea
ures that would restrict child labor
and lower an excessive infant NOR
tally; would require compulsory edu-
cation for Washington children at the
hands of the same authority which
builds schoolhouses for the T~agalogs,
and would raze alley shacks, fairly un-
der the caves of the capitol, which, on
the word of two western senators,
were not fit for COW stables.
The fight against child labor and for
compulsory education has yet to be
won. But a wife-desertion bill was
passed, a juvenile court bill enacted
and a judge appointed, two foul blind
alleys we're opened at once into minor
streets, the president commissioned
a special representative to investigate
conditions, and a bill passed providing
for the condemnation of insanltary
dwellings, which had hung fire for
nine years. Here was more social leg
islation in five months than in as many
a before.

One Used in Hydraulic Mining IN Orc
gon a Wonder.
The biggest high pressure pump in
the world is installed in the Dry Dig
gings placer fields of Southern Oregon
on Rogue river and is used to operate
a battery of hydraulic monitors in the
mines. This pump is n Of the larg-
est pieces of mining machinery ever
manufactured and could neve have
been installed but for the fact that 1t
was dumped directly from the cas- to
the foundation prepared for it in the
mines.
The pump was built in San Francisco
and was one Of the last jobs done by
the company before the earthquake
and fire. The pump is of the fiye-step
centrifugal type and it weighs, aside
from bearings and gears, just 10000
pounds. Other pumps have been built
that lift as great a volume of water al
does this one, but they do not deliver
1t under such enormous pressure. This
pump is tested to withstand q maxi
mum pressure of $50 pounds to the
square inch.
It's capacity is 10000, 900 gallons In
t~wenty-four hours, or 5000 gallons a
minute. This enormous volume Is de-
iiverea through a half mile Of pipe
line, the pipe being of steel, twenty
two inches in diameter. The water is
lifted to a height of 100 feet and forced
through two four-inch nozzles, hurting
streams a distance of 500 feet. These
powerful streams are played upon the
mountain walls to tea down the gold
bearing gravel.

ODD CHARACTER IN CAPITAL.
Woman Of Remarkable Mentality Lives
There In Poverty.

Living in squalor in the suburbs OF
Northeast Washington Is a little oio
blind woman who has a remarkable
history. She claims to be a linear de-
scendant from Russian nobility, n as
HAVING been married to a "grandee
In that country when she was a very
small girl. This venerable woman,
though living in the most miserable
surroundings, has a brilliant mind n
is an advanced student of astronomy.
One of her axloms is to the effect that
this life would not be worth h living
were it not for the spiritual side of it.
Il do not live here" she said, dream
lily the other day. Il exist away up
yonder (pointing skyward) where
there ara suns, stars and worlds, but,
above all, where there is spirituality
everywhere. Where the sordid and
mean things of this life are not to be
fosnd. Where there is a genial
brotherhood and sisterhood Of sEir'
ituality."
This remarkable woman numbers
among her other accomplishments h
writing of poetry. Her friends claim
she can foretell coming events with
almost unerring certainty. She has
been a student of materia medica since
girlhood. Recently a number of prom
inent people have visited the shanty
in which she makes her earthly abode
while waiting patiently for the time
to come when her spirit will be trans
ported to "the land of the sky and
and every one remarks upon
her phenomenal mentality.
