GREAT INTEREST IN THE
RIVER and HARb0R BILL
over THE entire nation

lier generation declared FIRE is good
servant, but bad master; today but
few American citizens will hesitate to
declare tn adage equally true when
railway" is substituted for "6re."
On one side of the transportation
question stand the railways. On the
other side stands the finest natural IN
land waterway system in the entire
world-the mighty Mississippi with its
tributaries spreading from the Appala-
chians on the east to the Rockies on
the west, and stretching from our nor
thern boundaries to the Gulf; the noble
Columbia, the once effective Sacra-
mento and the numberless rivers and
sounds of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
network of navigable waters once
largely used for traffic, now nearly neg
lected.
DR.. W. J. McGee, connected with the
bureau of soils of the department OF
agriculture, an economist and scientist
of note, in speaking of the neglected
rivers said to your correspondent that
If our rivers were put to their normal
use they would relieve the recurrent
freight congestion, stimulate produc-
ton, lower the cost of commodities and
reopen our waning export trade. II
a quarter of the current freight ami
passenger movement were transferred
from the railways to the waterways and
thereby moved at a quarter Of the cur
rent cost, which is quite feasible, there
would be an apparent saving of half
billion dollars annually in traffic charg
es, reducing the current transportation
burden to 500 per capita or 500 per
family, or dollar an acre on land, all
Of which saving might be measured in
reduced cost OF living. Excluding a
few thousand well-to-do city families.
the typical American family pays cut
for the necessaries of life an average IF
about $500 per year, of which a third
goes directly or indirectly for trans
portation, and once this fraction is re-
duced from a third to a quarter by
cheapening of the rates through water
carriage, that typical family cannot fail
to enter on a new lease of prosperity
if not of life itself.

ASPHALT IN PAYING
!. QUANTITIES IN TEXAS

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 2.-for
years it has been known that beds OF
asphalt lie along the Gulf coast OF
Texas at a number of places. This has
been used for paving purposes and has
been found to be of excellent quality.
1t is maintained by some that it is
quite as good as Trinidad product, but
has to be worked by a slightly differ
'ent process. While these beds have not
been worked commercially as extensive
ly as they might be, the growing de-.
mand indicates more general use Of
this material.
1t is believed now that great beds
of this mineral, so far untouched ex-
list near the south of the Rio Grande
river. Some DAYS ago, while a COM
pany of engineers from this city were
at work near the mouth of the river,
they found sand bars covered in places
with chunks of asphalt, some of them
weighing as much as fifty pounds. With
the company were number OF men
who have had wide experience along
geological lines, and these pronounced
the specimens found equal in every par
ticular to the best Trinidad asphalt.
So far no effort has been made to
develop the asphalt beds in that part
Of Texas, but it is. understood that the
recent discovery made by the engineers
will lead to more thorough investiga-
ton and an uncovering of the deposit
from which the samples mentioned in
the foregoing came. Those in a posi-
ton to know maintain that in the near
future Texas will produce a large part
of the asphalt used in this country. ::

Man Back From Argentina Te'Is Of The
Capture.
r. D. Andrew Of Chicago, who sells
harvesting machinery to the farmers
Of Argentina, has arrived home from
Buenos Aires with two young ostrich.
ca. The birds are each two months old
and about the size Of full grown tur-
keys.
The young ostriches, which are call
ed rheas, are Of no particular value In
Argentina. They run Wild In the sub
urbs of Buenos Aires and may be had
by any one who has the energy to
chase them on horseback with bolos.
Il have been making yearly trips to
Argentina for nine years." said Mr..
Andrew. and have never come back
without souvenirs for my two daugh-
tiers: They begged me to bring back q
pair Of ostriches this time, 10 on the
day before leaving Buenos Aires I
chased a dock and caught two. The
birds will give horse a run for his
money, but by throwing the bolos one
can easily get them. l killed three
birds in capturing the two have With

The ostriches during the voyage Of
twenty seven days grew just twice the
size they were when caught. and their
crate had to be made twice as large to
give them room.

BIBLES IN THE WORLD.
The scandinavian Eddas the Most Re-.
cent Of tho Seven.

cent Of the Seven.
The world has seven Bibles. They
are the Koran Of the Mohammedans,
the Eddas of the Scandinavians, the
Tripitaka Of the Buddhists, the Five
Kings Of the Chinese, the Three Vedas
Of the Hindus, the Zendavesta and
the Scriptures Of the Christians.
The Koran Is not older than the sew
enth century of our era. It Is CON-
pound Of quotations from the Old and
New Testaments, the Talmud and the
gospel Of st. Barnabas. The Eddas of
the Scandinavians were published in
the eleventh century and are the most
recent of these seven Bibles. The Bud
dhists' Tripitaka contain sublime NOR
ais and pure inspirations. Their au-
thor lived and died in the seventh cen
tury before Christ.
The sacred writings Of the Chinese
are called the Five Kings, king"
meaning web Of cloth or the warp that
keeps the threads in their places. They
contain the choicest sayings Of the
best ages on the ethicopolitical duties
Of life. These sayings cannot be traced
to a period higher than the eleventh
century B. c. The Three Vedas are
the most ancient books Of the Hindus,
and 1t is the opinion Of great scholars
that they are older than the eleventh
century B. c.
The Zendavesta Of the Persians Is
the grandest Of all the sacred books
next to the Bible. Zoroaster, whose
sayings 1t contains, was born In the
twelfth century B. C.-New York Her.
