THE United States is not likely to

navigation during the next fiscal year
as a result of any encouragement Of

Gated last year an appropriation of

he succeeded in not only having that

fore the appropriation bill was passed
by the house itself.
This year there is such close par

that any money will even be asked for

lures and shanties that now mark the
busiest part of town. 1t is proposed
in time to have a splendid driveway
and promenade, a scheme which, it is
believed, will lead to the extension Of
the city to the other side of the Po-
tomac. There is to be built a recrea.
ton pier where the fish wharves now
are.
Potomac park itself was established
upon the flats, the elevation being
made with the mud and clay dredged
from the river when the channel was
deepened. This park is only the be-
ginning, and similar recreation places
will be established along the river
front now available for commercial
purposes. Along the upper Potomac,
too, it is proposed to make parks.
In the extensive river park system
contemplated provision will be made
for the benefit of Georgetown and
East Washington will have great
driveways and promenades. Here the
shores of the eastern branch of the
river are low-lying flats.

Deadly Gas from Oil Well.

The noxious gases which are being
constantly emitted from an oil we'll

already resulted in the loss of life
and the destruction of much property.
The fumes thrown off by the well,
which was on fire for two months, are
so strong that all metals in Tampico,
IS miles distant, are turning black,
and all ships traversing the coast be-
tween Vera Cruz and Tampico show
the effects of the poisonous gases by
the discoloration of metals and white

reported that two laborers with ten

Buzzards, parrots and other species
of birds have been destroyed in great

Laughter a Series Of Banks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci.
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while series of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the banks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles Of the chest and abb
domen. But instead of opening to let
the air pass out Of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold it
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. As
it does so it makes the vocal cords vi.
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation Of
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals of q
quarter of second. There are thus
In hearty laugh four barks a second,
and If continued, they go on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves, and this in
terval is marked by a quick gasp for
breath, after which the banks are re-
newed. The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part Of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left.
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.

tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, E. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of q
railroad company, under the rules Of
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether 1t is for the advan.
tage of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman Is not only q
financier, but he il a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has Hartman
road. He insists on good roadbed,
level track, safe track and the con.
venience and comfort Of the traveller
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the coun.
try. When Hartman gets hold of q
one-horse or tplayed-out' track and
right OF way he proceeds to put it in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates Of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough of the funds 60
into real improvements to make a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of good many others and why
as some people have been led to think.
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for Improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed. So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road fair
deal.
He is public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He Is great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
of the money power, seeking whom
it may devour. He Is strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the Anan.
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, race horses, old editions or
other bad habits. II he is not per-
fect-and we don't think he is-he is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.
