Very Peculiar Lake
Has a Habit of Complete Disap-
pearance and Also of
Floods

ssNear the south end Of the San Joa-
cuin Valley, in California there is q
body OF water known as Lake Tulare,
which In quite large and varies from
time to time in area from one hum
ored to four hundred square miles. A
most remarkable popularity of this
lake, however, liz that sometimes 1t Is
not there at all. Being very shallow
1t dries up every now and them" said
DR.. Charles G. Percival, who has re-
Gently toured several times through
California ''In 100 its surface was
one hundred square miles; but the fol-
lowing year it had disappeared en-
tirely and farmers raised thousands
of bushels Of grain on what had been
the lake bottom. Lake Tulare Is
probably the most uncertain piece Of
water In the world. Whereas now
and then it disappears, it has way
on the other hand, of extending itself
to an uncomfortable area in some sea-
sons. overlooking the farming lands
and causing considerable damage.
Hence. Il comes about that the far
gagged for some time past in reducing
the lake to certain bounds as it were,
by hemming 1t in with dikes; and by
this means it is acquiring an odd
sort of geometrical pattern. BY this
means II il hoped that future floods
NAV be restricted. To show how far
the possibilities o. the case extend,
one man is now actually engaged in
converting a piece of the lake into dry
land by building a dixie around 1t.
when the dixie is finished he proposes
10 pump the water out and raise al

the negro to be educated-irst as to
his duty to himself and his family;
second, as to his fellows all over the
country whose labor is cheapened by
his, and whose returns are limited by
his standard.

cally the same which confronts every
other race-the economic problem of
getting the largest return for their
labor with the least possible hardship
or friction. To evolve from the mere
work animal with retreating forehead
and protuberant lower jaw-into the

solve his relationship to the labor
problem and to all other perplexing
issues which now confuse and en-
barrass him.

Before you finish tuning up your

easier. You will be money-in-pock-
et by so doing.
I Test the alignment Of your axles.
The easiest way is to measure between
the felloes of the wheels or the edges
OF the rims at the point directly in
front of the axle. If this measure

Rv C. H Tavennor.l

Washington, March 21-Mr. Edward
Porritt, an English writer, has writ
zen an article for the "Quarterly Re-
REV.. of London, on the American
kteel Corporation, in which he deals
pecifically with the attitude of the
rust toward the labor 1t employs
Like the other big business inter-
.sts of the United States he writes,
the steel trust is amazingly vlgilant

IF is being revised. So perslstentiy
rigilant is the trust in behalf of lanor
that any one attending the hearings
before the Ways and Means commit
tee would be apt to go away with the
suppression that the one great ana
sustaining joy in life for the trust
vas it's Sympathetic devotion to the
interests of it's working men,
- Mr.. Porritt then goes on to say that
ways try to make it plain before the
ways and means committee that they
want a tariff solely that they may be
able to protect their workmen
against the "pauper labor of Europe,
and that If they are to be expected
10 pay the American standard or
wages, they must have tariff protec-
ton. Having got the tariff for which
Il asked, the writer then tells how the
trust makes good on Its promises TO
protect its workmen, and save tnem
from competition with the 'pauper Ia
Dor of Europe" -,

NUISANCE AND NEGLIGENCE

Plaintiff was injured by falling
over an awning brace in front of the
Colonial Theatre in New York. His
ensuing action against the city was
based on both nuisance and negli.
gence, but he elected at the trial to
follow the theory of nuisance. The
New York Supreme Court in Herman
". City of New York, 131 New York
Supplement, 1892. held that as the
city. by it's charter, is given power to
authorize by general ordinance the
maintenance of awnings, liability
could not be charged to it on the
grounds of nuisance, though, if it
appeared that it was dangerous, to
pedestrians using the sidewalk, the
city might be held liable for negli-
gence in failing to cause its remov.
