missioners several months ago that the
alley between 18th and 10Th streets and I.

tween 24th and 18th streets and I and X

streets does not meet with the approval of
Commissioner Biddle He stated today that
on account of the great burden which
would be put on the surrounding property
in bearing assessments. more than IT should
be called on to bear, the conversion of
these alleys should not be made at present
These recommends lions were made nv

Commissioners for the purpose of inyesd
eating alleys. courts and such places with
a view of recommending their conversion
into minor streets.

The Great White Shark.

The man eating fish par excellence IL
the great white shark. 1t is otherwise
known by the name of man eater. Oc-
casionally specimens are seen on both
coasts of the United States, though its
more customary habitat is In tropical
waters. This frightful creature attains
a length of nearly forty feet, and it is
able to swallow a man whole. This
fact Is proved by an experiment which
sailors are fond of making when such
shark is captured. The skull being
preserved, they amuse themselves by
crawling one after another through the
distended jaws. 1t would be unsafe to
do this, however, when the head has
been freshly cut of, because under such
conditions the jaws will snap togetheE
1ercely for some time afterward IL
anything is placed between them. The
skull Of big shark, by the way, is al
ways salable owing to the demand by
museums and curiosity hunters. A
young sea lion weighing a hundred
pounds has been found in the stomach
of a white shark.

When baby comes TO your knee At night
And begs In his plaintive way
For tale about wolves that growi and
bite,
Be heedfui Of what you say
Don't tell him OF Little Red Riding Hood
To grandma the sweetmeats taking,
Who met wolf as she crossed the wood
For that would be nature taking.
When baby cries in the dead OF night
And keeps up fearful noise,
Don't tell Of the bears outside that bita
And feed upon naughty boys.
Don't tell Of the big black bear outside,
When his tummy perhaps Is aching,
Nor picture his fangs nor his Jaws q
wide,
For that would be nature taking.
When baby comes to your knee at night
And asks in his plaintive way
For story, tell him about the fight
You had with a fsh one day.
And tell him about the time you had
A pike from the water taking;
You'll be a dry and a prosy dad,
But you won't be nature taking.

Modest Contributors.

A man was coming up from Chun-
chen province with a sum of money
which had been subscribed for the pay
ment of the public debt. He was met
by robbers, who took the money and
started away. He called after them
that the money was a subscription TO
the fund for the raising of the debt,
whereupon they came back and handed
him the money and begged his pardon
for their mistake, and they gave him
10 yen extra as a contribution on their
own part. He asked their names to
publish in the papers, but they said
they did not want to obtain notoriety
in that way and declined, but said they
were glad to pay something toward
helping the country.-Korean News.

Why Shells Fly Straight.

Many people wonder why the cone
shaped projectiles in their flight
through the air do not wabble, but
drive straight ahead. This is easily
explained. Round the bottom of the
shell is a narrow band of copper which
varies in width according to the size Of
the projectile. Being made of soft
metal. this band is cut by the steel
rifing of the gun on the shock Of ex-
plosion. This action causes the shell
to revolve with lightning rapidity. with
the result that it keeps steady during
its fight through the air. = London

Did you ever notice a jeweler wear

SHEEP Receipts were not very heavy
this morning, but trains were late, only
about half the number of cars reported be
ing in sight when It was time for the mar
ket to open Tho remainder Of the re-
Ceipts came struggling In later on,
The market was in very unsatisfactory
condition as viewed from a sellers stand
point. Large receipts at all market points
this week, at a time when the demand has
been lighter than usual, has given markets
downward tendency. As usual when
prices begin breaking, sellers instead OF
shutting on receipts have rushed them in
all the faster, with the result that the
country Is full OF mutton, which Is going
into consumption slowly. More than that
the demand is likely to continue very light
until after March 81, which is Easter sun
day.
This market, in common with others, has
felt the effects OF reduced demand for NUT
ton and increased receipts, with the result
that prices have had a lower tendency.
This morning 1t was apparent right from
up with both sheep and lambs and that
they were not at all hungry for fresh sup
plies. The fact that the quality OF the re-
ceipts was also on the common order made
the trade even duller than II would other
wise have been. The result was that 1t
much trading had been done When the
sheep did sell II was generally on the basis
Of loo lower prices, or l5q26c lower than

CATTLE-Thero was another liberal cat
tie run this morning, but unfortunately
trains were very late, less than hal the
receipts being in sight when it was time
for the market to open. The remainder of
the receipts came struggling in during the
whole day. As a result of the nonarrival
OF stock trains buyers were very slow about
getting out into the yards. At the same
time reports from other selling points were
discouraging, 30 that the general feeling
right at the start was weak and lower.
Among the receipts Of cattle today was
quite a showing of pretty decent beef steers,
but even that fact was not sufficient to put
any life into the trade. The market at the
opening was a dead one, and there was
very little life at any time during the day.
The market as a whole might be described
as slow and l0q15c lower.
Cows and heifeTs were in the same condi-
ton as were beef steers. Buyers asserted
right at the outset that they must take
their purchases at lower figures today. AS
the offerings were quite liberal they sue
ceeded to a great extent In having things
their own way, the market being slow and
