ORDER ISSUED
REGARDING LIGHTS
Channel Lights viii be Extingulshed
Nov. 1o-Five Days Earlier
Than in Former
Years.
THE R1vERMEN OBJECT
Pilot Hugh Mckenzie is Of the opin-
lon That Lights Should be
Continued For Some
Time Yet.

| I
Rivermen are surprised at the an
nouncement Of Commander Miller of
the U. s. Lily that the channel lights
on the upper river will be extinguish-
ed November 10, says the Burlington
Hawk-Eye. This is an earlier date
than has been the case in past years.
Tale packets usually continue in oper-
alton until about November 20, and
the pilots depend on the shore beacons
to mark the channel when running at
night.
In the old days before the govern
ment lighted the river the pilots were
forced to depend upon that peculiar
instinct, watch all of the experts were
said to possess to keep out of harms
way. On the darkest Of nights the
pilot OF Mark Twain's day would run
the most tortuous chute, or thread his
way over sand bars, trusting to luck to
avoid accident.
It is different nowadays. The pilots
have become accustomed to depending
upon the channel lights for guidance.
Miller's Notice.
Commander Millers notice is as fol-
los, referring to this section OF the
river:
Notice is hereby given that the
government lights on the Mississippi
river from Rock Island ILL.,, to Keo-
kuk, Ia, will be lighted for the last
time this season on November 10,
1909"
Pilot Hugh Mckenzie Of the steam
er Keokuk, which is now making trips
to Burlington, and whose schedule will
be maintained some time after the
lights have been extinguished, said:
ION account of the present arrange
ment of the steamers on the upper
river, which includes the Keokuk and
Dubuque, am certainly of the opinion
that the lights should be kept burn
! ing until these steamers cease navi
eating the stream. The water in that
section of the river to Re effected by
! the 'snufling' of tle lights is low and
the steamers should be afforded every
advantage of making their trips in
safety, instead Of such facilities being
dispensed with.
"The trips of the Keokuk will not
be discontinued until several days af
ter the lights have been put out, and
of course, this steamer will feel the re
suits. In my opinion the lights should
not be discontinued under any cir.
icumstances until the closesof the Keo
kuk canal"

Curious Properties Of Minerals.

Certain minerals exhibit the curl
GUS optical property known as aster-
ism. That is to say. they show star
shaped figure when light is reflected
from them. or transmitted through
them. This is seen, for example. in
the star stone, a sort of sapphire. and
in the star ruby. A note in Knowl-
edge describes and figures the aster-
ism Of mica. The photograph of q
lamp taken through a plate of mica
shows beautiful six-rayed star, with
six fainter radiations between. Out
wardly star mica resembles the ordi-
nary form and shows the same phe-
nomena under polarized light. When
examined under the microscope, how.
ever, the star mica is found to con.
tain fine needles of another mineral
and these are regularly arranged al
angles of 1870 degrees. To these nee
dies the star seen by transmitted light
is due.

Samples Of Air at Great Heights.


Samples of air at height of nearly
nine miles have been recently OBJ
tanned and examined for the pres
ence of the rare gases. The collect
ing apparatus, carried by large bal
loon, is series of vacuum tubes, each
drawn out to a fine point at one end.
At the desired height an electro-mag-
netic device, connected with each tube
and operated by barometer, breaks
off the point of the tube, admitting the
air., A few minutes later, a second
contact sends current through a
platinum wire around the broken end,
melting the glass and sealing the
tube. All the samples obtained show
argon and neon, but no helium was
found in air from above six miles.

A. BIG BUILDING ToPPLlNe.
Collapse Expected Of New Works Grim
inal Court Structure.

inal Court Structure.
New York Nov. 6.-New York's
great criminal courts building, erect
ed at a cost of two million dollars, is
absolutely deserted today. The wide
halls, usually thronged with litigants
and spectators. are silent, and the spa
cious court rooms where the Harry
r. Thaw and other noted trials have
been held. are empty of Judge. jury
and lawyers.
But outside Of the big building a
different scene is presented The ad.
joining streets. except for wide area
kept clear by the police. are black with
men whose eyes are fixed on ominous
cracks extending from the top Of the
structure to the street line. Each one
is asking his neighbor how long he
believes the walls will stand. and no
one wants to go away because he
fears he will miss the big show that
all are waiting for.
The big show Is the anticipated COL
lapse of the costly pile. SO imminent
is the danger considered that the
streets have been roped off on all
sides to keep the crowds out of the
danger zone, and a heavy shield Of
immense timbers Is being laid over
Lafayette street one of the thorough
fares upon which it faces, to protect
the subway which runs beneath the
surface.
| All last night judges, coroners, dis
| trict attorneys and others who have
been quartered in the historic building
worked at what they believed was the
/ risk of their lives to carry out public
records and private belongings. Ex-
perts declared the building was in no
danger of immediate collapse, but the
judges held meeting yesterday and
declared that they would no longer
imperil their lives and those of the
public by holding court there.
One of the biggest cracks In the
high wall passes close to the famous
bridge of signs" across which so
many malefactors have passed from
the Tombs to the courthouse to learn
their fate. The Tombs. in which are
} thousands of prisoners. Is just across
/ the street from the courthouse. Build

Woman Wins In Cherry County.

Lincoln, Nov. 6.-Miss Gertrude Jor-
dan of Valentine was elected treasurer
of Cherry county at Tuesdays election,
the first woman to be selected for that
Office in Nebraska. Several women
are now serving as school superinten-
dents and the district court clerk of
Sheridan county is woman.
Miss Jordan Is % years old, and a
handsome young woman who demon
strated her capacity as hustler both
at the primaries and at the election.
For seven years she served as deputy
treasurer. She is republican, and
when w. A. Armstrong the republican
incumbent resigned last summer she
was dispossessed by E. B. bubble,
named for the place by the democratic
board of county commissioners.
The young woman at once announc'
ed herself as a candidate at the repub'
lican primaries. Two mere men sought
to compete with her for the nomina
ton, but she got more votes than both
of them. The democrats put up Quib
BILE, and the fight was on. Miss Jor
dan made a thorough canvass Of the
county, which Is about as big as the
state of Connecticut. Every sale found
her present, and many visit she paid
to the ranches during the last two
months. Several gallant young men
assisted in the formation of an or
ganization, and as a result she won by
majority of approximately $50.
The county attorney, who Is re
publican, has given an opinion that
the constitution does not permit a wo
man to hold the office, but Miss Jor
dan has fortified herself with an opin
ion from Attorney General Thompson
that woman is eligible to the office
and II there Is to be fight. which Is
threatened, she Is prepared.

How Sewer Ditch Is Being Filled.


Mayor Friday will investigate the

folk avenue. The few persons op.
posed to paving are reported to have
been under the impression that the
ditch would not be settled sufficiently
to permit paving next summer.
The sewer builder is under contract
which makes him financially respon
sible for the ditch in case it settles, "
the mayor said, and the city will
withhold per cent of his pay to cover
any work required in filling in the
ditch. So for that reason | believe
the contractor. in his own selfish in.

and filling it in with water as it should
be, to save himself future expense.

cording to contract-that Is, the ditch
was half filled with dirt. then flooded

dirt put in and then flooded with
water a second time. However, | shall
inves tigate the charge that this feature
of the contract has been neglected in

Street Will Be Ready to Pave.
City Engineer Brown stated that
after the street is graded for paving,
down to what is known as sub-grade,
a roller weighing ten or fifteen tons
will be run over the street and that
this will pack the earth below, in case
there is any loose dirt, thus placing
the street in perfect condition for the
paving.
The sewer on Norfolk avenue has
been flushed with water more than
any sewer in the city, due to the fact
that the contractor does not want to
haul any dirt off the street." Brown
said. And once the 15-ton roller hits
the trench, if there is any dirt that
has not already settled, it will certain.
ly pack down then. Norfolk avenue
will be in condition to pave in the
spring"
The discussion was caused by criti-
cism made to The News by a number
of business men who declared that
the ditch was not being flushed enough
and that it would require long time
for the ditch to settle as result.
''If there is one thing am sure Of"
said one man, at is how to fill ditch.
No dirt should be thrown in that does
not splash in water. In that way the
loose dirt settles down compactly just
as nature intended it should. I stood
and watched the men fill in the sewer
ditch, and they put no water in at all
until they had the ditch completely
filled. He had holes all over town a
year ago as a result of such filling in,
and it will be recalled horses fell into
the holes frequently. If we are to
pave, no effort should be spared to get
that ditch filled in in the right way,
so that it won't be settling for the
next two years. 1t is very import
ant bit of work"
