More Ground Secured.

In 1s47 the vestry petitioned for the en-
largement of the grounds. and pending
action by Congress adopted resolution
agreeing to give the United States the
privilege Of buying cne-fourth of the
ground for the interment of members of
Congress. etc bill was introduced au-
thorizing the commissioner of public
buildings to sell to the vestry a part Of
reservation 13 over 81. 600 feet east OF the
original square 011O at the same price
per acre paid forty years before and the
vestry was authorized to inclose 10th
street. At the same time the vestry was
given power to purchase land for the ex-
tension OF the grounds not to exceed in
the aggregate thirty acres. June %. the
act having been passed, the vestry ac-
cepted the terms of the act.
The Secretaries of War and Navy gave
an opinion as to the sale that under the
terms the vestry could acquire two and
half acres of the reservation. and the
register was directed also to buy the ad-
joining square on the south for not ex-
ceeding $500. Under this authority part
Of reservation IL was acquired, as also
the square south, and the corporation Of
Washington. by act of November. 1s4S,
authorized to occupy the bed of G street
between 18th and 10Th streets. This adj
ditional ground was then laid out and
plated.
This square was the site of the resi-
early days, log house with outbuild
| ings, with the family graveyard adj
! joining, the then southern boundary of
| the congressional ground. On the divi-
| sion Of the land with the original pro-
prietor the twenty lots were divided be-
| tween the United States and William
| Young's heirs, the latter taking those
east. Subsequently they passed to Ben
| jamin Stoddart Ferdinand Fairfax and
! finally into the ownership of William
/ Clark, by whom they were sod to the
vestry Of Christ Church. Mr.. Clark at
that time resided in the Old Greenleaf
| house on 14th street southeast

was included She was allowed to
make her home there with the priv

Tickled the Bufaloes.
From the Kansas City Journa,


How a Yankee railroad man once tried
to protect telegraph poles in western
Kansas from the buffalo and signaTy
failed is related by H. ]. Barber. a pio-
neer of Pawnee county.
EARLY settlers remember that for miles
you could see a white polished belt on
every telegraph pole where buffalo had
scratched their shaggy hides when tor
mented by buffalo gnats. l was told
that many poles were broken by the vast
army of scratching animals. A certain
railroad official who lived in Boston,
where the shoes were made. bought all
the pegging avis on the market and had
the section men drive them into the posts
until they looked like giant cacti.
The herds came and saw and con-
auered They fought for first place at
the poles and tickled their NANCY hides
with the avis, which were broken by the
joyful bulls that still scratched on the
remnants until the poles fell Needless
to say, the remaining avis were with
drawn from service at once"

Smokeless Chimneys.

A German professor believes that he
has found a way to remove the smoke
nuisance in connection with factory
chimneys. The professors chimney is
perforated on all sides by little hor-
zontal windows. AS the furnace smoke
and gases rise they are mixed with air,
both before and after emergence. by
the eddy forming action of the wind
passing through the openings. From
the time the smoke enters the chin
ney and reaches the height of the low
er openings. which receive the wind
from any quarter. the intermingling be-
gins. and in each stage of its upward
the volume becomes less and
