We cannot imagine that Fire Chief Ainscow will oh
iect to filing with City Council a monthly report set
ting forth the number Of fires the number of com
panies engaged in fighting them and the estimated
losses It will not be arduous task or one Of
humiiating nature. In fact it may give TO some
of our Councmen comprehensive idea of the
good work our volunteer fremen are doing The fact
mat such reports never have been made in the past
is not valid reason why they should not be made in
the future II is true that little more courtesy might
have been exercised by the Counclmen in discussion
of the question, but Chief Anscow can AFFORD to over
look that without suffering either official or personal
humiliation.

THE SOUVENIR" FAD.
Q nnrer Rennhlicnn.

From the Dover Republican.
An esteemed correspondent writes us
this week, calling attention to what ne
designates as "Ihe Public School Souv-
enir Fadn which he claims is now ram
pant in all our public schools and which
he further claims often imposes rea'
hardship on parents who have Children
attending the schools.
Our correspondent, of course, ref'rs
to the class pin and class ring fad. In
his letter he says that recently the
agent of manufacturer visited the
schools and secured the names of those
willing to pay five dollars for a class
ring. He adds that by this method the
"agent" secured nearly every member
of the class as to refuse to subscribe
would be looked upon as a confession
Of poyrty.
'Now / do not lSnw, nor do l partleu-
larlv care" writes this father, what
the intrinsic value of these rings are;
but ! do know that the putting up Of
five dollars for one was a hardship on
me as undoubtedly it was upon many
Others"
No matter what may be thought OF
our correspondence views, there's tood
for reflection in his COMMUNICATION.

The receipt Of belated election returns from the
legislative districts in New York State has compelled
William Barnes, Jr, chairman of the Republican
State Committee to concede that the Republicans will
not control the next Assembly They will have only
"a members, two short Of a majority. That stua-
ton will give the balance of power to the Progress
sves. It is the natural expectation Of the Republican
leaders in New York State that there will be two OF
more men in the Progressive delegation who will CO.
operate with the Republicans in holding the Tammany
men in check in matters OF pernicious and partisan
legislation. In fact such coalition the protec-
ton of the public would be most natural.

SUSSEX AND CHEAP GOOD ROADS.

From the Milford Chronicle.
Sussex county can build roads cheaper
than either of the other counties in
Delaware, and the roads when built
will be more permanent, as well as more
attractive TO look upon, while at the
same time, they will cost less for re-
pairsfthan other roads This statement
is based upon the fact that in Sussex
county there are sections where the sup
ply of clean sand is on the spot where
It is to be used and the only thing or
material aside from water and labor,
TO be brought in is, cement. In many
sections Of the country there is sandy
soil, and in the roads a splendid supply
of sand that has been cleaned from any
clay ingredients, which needs neither
hauling nor manipulation. In instances
OF this kind, the roads should be graded
the water turned away from the road
bed for the full thirty feet Of roadway,
and when that is done the centre of the
road for fourteen feet should be opened
for a depth Of at least twelve inches,
and the sand then be mixed by>a con-
crete mixing machine with cement and
placed in the centre Of the
road. This should be "cut" at each
fifty feet and angle irons be placed at
these "cutsH so as to provide for con,
traction and expansion of the road bed
in changing seasons. From the expert
enoe of other States. and the experience
that the town Of Milford has had with
concrete road work it is almost GER
tointy that permanent roads can be built
In Sussex county for a cost not to eN-
ceed two thousand dollars per mile;
this is where the sand formation does
not have 20 be hauled by wagon. If the
county engineer will experiment along
this line with even half mile of road
way in some of the districts where the
conditions are favorable, we believe that
the future roads of Sussex county VIII
be largely of this construction, and that
the people will get better roads than
other parts of Delaware, at a far less
cost This is not q theory but it is a
condition easy of demonstrating, and
the people are entitled to have it made

of them took his seat at a piano
in the orchestra pit and struck a

In the center of the group

Curious Adaptations TO Want.

Much has been said With reference 10
the adaptations in nature to the wants
of mankind Another point OF view
shows the same facts as evidence that
man has adapted himself to the varying
conditions of life.
An exception to what is regarded as
general law is found in the distribution
of fishes. 1t is observed that IN the
warm waters of the Nile, for instance.
fish of many kinds abound, hut that they
are all of poor quality. Indeed the same
might be said of the fish in all warm
waters. Very few varieties. competent
authorities assure us. are iii for the
