IN DARK PLACES.


Here is suggestion to our city ad-
ministration: There are sections of
the city where the arc lights fall to
reach to dispel the gloom OF dark
nights. The city cannot afford to enter
very extensively upon a policy OF ex-
tending the arc system, but by placing
posts of metal or wood at the points
most in need of illumination. and
placing thereon the new 200-candle
power tungsten lights, which can be
operated at cost of so per cent less
than a cluster OF thirty-two-candle
power lights of carbon films, excellent
results, no doubt. will be obtained at
comparatively little expense
2 There arc dark centers OF blocks IN
the residential. and even business. sec
ton of this city. which should be
lighted. With these large tungsten
globes, placed on posts ten or twenty
feet high. there would be an appre-
ciative service performed for the peo-
plc In those districts and the turning
of night into day would facilitate the
work OF the police.
Lights of this kind would prove to
be sentinels of the night.

MORE EARTHQUAKES.

And now 1t is Barcelona, Spain, that
is shaken and shattered by an earth
quake. The reports of the disturbance
are indefinite. leaving doubt as to
whether the quake was more than a
trembler. but the fact that an earth
disturbance OF any kind will now
cause alarm, proves how nervously
spprehensive are the people over this
shaky earth crust.
San Francisco, years ago, was reg
ularly Jared. but the inhabitants only
laughed, until the big quake OF three
years ago robbed those occurrences
of even the semblance of a joke. Now
the rocking motion causes the people
to halt their work and, with a hush,
wait developments.
Perhaps Barcelona, having read OF
Messina and Reggio's fate, was in a
state Of mind to imagine the approach
of the end OF the world when the build
ngs were rocked, and slight vibra-
ton was interpreted to mean total de-
struction.
Earthquakes are such uncertain
things, with reserve forces so power
full. that were the City of ogden to
be shaken sufficiently to rattle the
dishes, we presume the excitement
would be intense and not one. but
many, would be In a state OF mind
bordering on hysteria.

SKATING PARTIES.

An excursion was run to Salt Lake
City last evening to accommodate
those who delight In roller skating
Since the closing of the local rink the
giving of skating excursions has been
advocated by those who would rather
skate than eat" as one Of the. enthus-
lasts expressed it. At last they have
succeeded in obtaining special railroad
rates and the diversion promises to
continue at intervals all winter.
II our people must have their skates
on, some way should be provided to
keep them from going to distant
city to spend their money. With a
big local auditorium rink Idle and one
hundred OF more Ogdenites buying
railroad tickets to Salt Lake TO gain
the privilege of entering rink in no
way better than the one at home, there
seems to be q waste OF money and
time simply because of an absence OF
local ambition at being self-containe1
or at making the best OF Ogdens re-
sources.
a skating rink properly conducted
should prove an inviting place for any
one and, with the demand great en-
ough, as these excursions would indi-
cate, some efforts should be made TO
continue that kind OF wholesome pas
time in this city.

AMERICAN MISTAKES.

A Chicago business man has failed
to be possessed of a high opinion OF
our consular service.
1--WE must admit that our consular
service has astigmatlsm of u highly

consular reports are very fragamen-
tary and are written often by men
who write of the picturesque and the
interesting rather than OF the COM
mercially available. Consular service
today is better than IL has ever been,
but 1t Is the most broken down and

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN THIS
CITY.

Have you observed the greater bril-
liancy Of the. lights in many Of the dis
play windows of the business houses
of Ogden? More than ayear ago this
paper called attention to government
report on improvements in electric
lighting of which the tungsten mean
descent was the most important.
What was then said is now being test
ed out IN this city with most crafty
ing results. Business houses are sup
planting the old carbon-fllm incan-
descent with those of tungsten, and
they have discovered that a twenty
candle power tungsten throws off
nearly double the light of an old-style
sixteen-candle lamp and at a cost in
electric current OF less than half.
Electricians are advocating the plac-
ing of twenty-candle power tungsten
lights in the homes, claiming that they
afford brighter. better light at
greatly reduced cost

The LAW AND RAILROADS.

The perplexities Of railroad man

intricacies OF the law that concerns
switching charges and other con-

sympathy. Those practices, which

classed as virtue. have now, when
submitted to the magical touchstone
of law, become scarcely distinguish
able from sin, and they complain that
the new gospel under which they must

This is another step forward In the
development of the electric incan-
descent which is gratifying to those
who now are forced to pay big light
bills.

addition to the lowering of the water

At the Goat Island end of the rim the
depth Of the river at mean water Is
only half foot to foot: beyond Sis
ter Islands it Is two and a half feet
to somewhat deeper. In the middle
OF the river the rocky ridge Is barely
covered at mean water, and at low
water, such as occurred in 1891. it Is
quite bare. Between the end OF the
reef and the Canadian shore, the
depth reaches to eight and nine feet
THE American channel is less than
three feet deep at mean water and
just above it there is reef where the
depth Is only foot and half. This
reaches nearly across the channel to

must cease where the rim Is highest,
