Valuable Meteorite.

Coon Butte in Arizona contains
vast crater, 1000 feet in diameter ana
600 feet deep, that is believed by many
Ia have been formed by the impact OF
a colossal meteor. Hundreds of
pounds of meteoric iron have been
found scattered over the surrounding
country, and there are countless
pieces of iron, and bits of meteorlc
material to be seen on the floor ana
sloping sides of the crater. ProI.
Elihu Thomson has estimated that
between 100000 and 100000 tons OF
earth and rock were displaced when
the great crater was formed, and that
the meteorite must have weighed at
least 100000 tons. Professor
Thomson believes that 1t entered tho
surface of the earth at an obliaue
angle, and that new soundings at the
south and southwest sides of the
crater may reveal the original mass
The discovery would not only settle
much discussed problem, but wouia
he profitable commercially, because
like every large meteorite, this one
probably contains large quantities OF
iron, nickel, platinum and diamonds.

LoNDoN's GREEN CHAIRS.

Ihere is one infa1lible sign by which
a stranger alighting from Mars wonId
hioW that the famous London season
had begun, and that is by the position
OIL the green chairs in HYDE park.
Are they piled up in confused heaps
opposite Stanhope gate, the green
sWafd deserted and the gravel paths
given up To white coated babies and
their nurses? Then you may know
that the curtain has not yet risen ON
the annual show and though re-
hearsals may be in progress the
sumptuous drama in which the great
and the rich take such prominent
parts has not yet begun.
About the middle of May--whpn
May is fine and warm, as sometimes
happens in these islands-an unseen
hand sets out the green chairs in
rows. in groups, in sociable tours, in
intimate twos. and then the London
season may be said to have COM
meneed. Whether the unseen hand
ordains this magic thing. or whether
1T follows a certain date / am not
sure, but certain it is that the green
chairs are a sure index to great hap
penings. to regal festivities, to the
coming of the ancient families and of
half the peerage to town.

Against Paving 9th St.

A motion was made at Tuesdays
meeting of the commissioners tina

A remonstrance against the paw
ing of East Eighth street from
Highland to Santa Fe, was received.
Ten names were signed to it.
They objected to the paving on the
grounds of too much expense and
that they had helped recently in
the paving of other streets.
Johnson made motion to place
the remonstrance on file, to be
taken up at the next meeting.
Lapham then made motion that
the situation be investigated by
Johnson. Same seconded neither,
so Lapham withdrew his motion

The bills from the various mer-
chants and concerns in town were
read and part of them were allowed.
A large number were held up be-
cause the commissioners thought
they were too large.
