Estimates
NEW WORKERS MAY
\ TAKE BOND ISSUE

Much comment was heard today re
garding the failure OF any bridge
builders to submit 10 the Levy Court
yesterday a bid for the construction
OF 4 vertical lift bridge over the
Christiana river. OF late much was
heard regarding vertical lift type
OF bridge and during the session Of
the Legislature the question was
threshed out at length. Governor
Miller held conferences with the mem
bers Of the Levy Court over the bridge
situation before the S250.0OO loan bill
was passed. The plans and speclf-
cations were drawn so that bids could
be submitted on the vertical tyne
bascule or any other type of bridge
Although sets of plans had been OBJ
tanned by builders, no bid was sub
mtted foE the vertical lift type The
members of the Levy Court are well
pleased over the bids, as they came
within the appropriation. The low
est bid for the superstructure was
that OF James !. Vincent. Of New York
+ His bid was $4,000 and $4,000 Tor

The Atlas Bridge Company, william

the low bidder for the substructure.

GUM CHEWING AN OLD HABIT
Red Indians Are Said Thus to Hava
Quenched Their Thirst In Fif-
,... tenth Century. ::~'.- -

Gum chewing In the United States
appears to be . general habit, as It
would take quite a few gum chewera
to use up what is manufactured More
than, 80 million sticks of gum is the
annual output of American factories.
All this stuff is made of chicla
which comes from gum tree In the
tropics, the importation of chicle into
the United States figuring up two mil
lion dollars year. The chiole bust
ness has become a big industry In the
republics to the south. The gum tree
Is tapped very much the same az the
rubber tree @ -s::7S= ?, - 49,
Spanish explorers found the Indians
of this hemisphere chewing gum t.
quench their thirst away back In the
fifteenth century, and they reported
that it relieved exhaustion; but it waa
1876 before gum chewing became Z
habit among the nations, 80 at least
the gum makers say, being guided in
their opinions by the statistical REQ
ords. Still, the oldest inhabitants say
they always had gum. Resin or some
thing else must have been chewed be
fore the modern gum factory -brought
out substitute that was better liked
Since that time the demand for thia
commodity has increased to such an
extent that importing firms have been
obliged to search the markets and e1
plot the growing of the tree In order
to obtain a supply suf1cient to meet
existing requirements.

Giovanni Caboto, or John Cabot as
he is called, was a native of the same
town as Columbus, being born in
Genoa in 1850. Most people think
that Columbus was the only man of
his time to believe that the earth was
round; but there were many others
who had the same idea, among them
being John Cabot Full Of this idea,
he moved to London about 14S4. He
submitted his proposition to the lead
ing merchants Of Bristol, England,
and met instant encouragement.
For many years Cabot tried to car
ry out his plans to reach Asia by sail
ing west; but all his attempts ended
in failure. And then in 1493 the
news reached England that a sailor

named Columbus had reached the
East Indies by sailing westward
Cabot and his hackers immedi lately
decided to accompl ish the same thing,
and on May q, he set out with
Sebastian, two other sons, Of whom
nothing is known, and eighteen men,
in a little ship called the Mathew.
At last. after being ffty-two days
at sea, at five o'clock on Saturday
morning, June "a, 1897, they reached
the northern extremity Of Cape Bre-
ton Island. North America had been
discovered; but John Cabot, finding
the soil fertile and the climate pleas
ant, was firmly convinced that he had
reached the northeastern coast of
Asia, from where. came the silks and
precious stones that he had seen at
Mecca. The royal banner was un-
furled, and in solemn form he took
possession Of the country in the name
of King Henry VII, Of England.
On his return to Bristol in August
he FASTENED to court, where the king
gave him $50 for having found the
new isle. z
The following year Cabot made a
second voyage of discovery, hoping
this time to secure some OF the tabled
riches Of the East. But he sailed too
far to the north, and was finally
forced to return without having real
lied his dream. He died the same
year, 1498.
His son Sebastian was born at
Bristol, England, in 1477, and ac-
companied his father on his first
voyage to North America After the
death of John Cabot, Sebastian made,
voyages to both North and South
America. He died in 1857.

ESKIMOs LAUGH AT DYSPEPSIA
People in the Far North Consume Any
thing, and Never Suffer the Pan0s
OF Indigestion.

We hear much of American dyspep-s
STA, but there is one native race Of
America that is certainly not troubled
In this respect. The Eskimo defles
al the laws of hygiene and thrives. He
eats until he is satisfied, but is said
never to be satisfied while: shred of
his feast remains unconsumed. His
capacity is limited by the supply, and
by that only. 81 rs :.-
The Eskimo cannot make any mis-
take about the manner Of cooking his
food, since, as a rule, he does not cook
it. Nor, so far as the blubber or fat
Of the arctic animal is concerned, is
the Eskimo concerned about his man
ner of eating it. Indeed, he may be
said not to eat it at all. He cuts 1t
into long strips an inch wide and an
inch thick, and then lowers the strips
down his throat as one might lower a
rope into we'll. 90 T.. -
Despite all this, the Eskimo does
not suffer from indigestion. He can
make good meal off the flesh and
skin Of the walrus, provision so hard
and gritty that in cutting up the ami
NAL the knife must be continually
sharpened. l.
The teeth of q little Eskimo child
will, it is said by those in position
to know, meet in a bit of walrus skin
as the teeth of an American child
would meet in the flesh of an apple,
although the hide of the walrus is
from half an inch to an inch in thick
ness, and bears considerable resem-
blance to the hide of an elephant.
The Eskimo child will. bite it and d.
gest it and never know what dyspepsia
means.-Harper's Weekly.

sWhIte Of & elborne's Portrait.

49,. ~ White Of selborne's Portrait
Bargains continue to be made on
the streetsSof London, and naturalists
and antiquarians in the old country
have been greatly excited by the lat
est of these; for it relates to a portrait
of the celebrated naturalist, the fa-
nous Rev. Gilbert White of Sell
borne, which was picked up recently
at the Caledonian market for q few
shillings. The Importance of the Pic
ture lies in the fact that it is the only
portrait Of Gilbert White Of which
there is knowledge, and probably the
only one in existence. Indeed repre-
sentatives Of the White family have
denied that any portrait or sketch was
ever made of him. The newly discov-
cred portrait, which Is now considered
very valuable, IL attributed by experts
to Thomas Robinson, an eighteenth
century artist, who did work for the
:naturalist's brother, and was probably
painted about the year 1775. II
