and Harbors Appropriation.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Pork barrel
river and harbor appropriations were
denounced in vigorous terms by Rep
resentative Frear of Wisconsin, who

He particularly attacked the effort
to put through the present session Of
congress river and harbors appropria-
lions aggregating about SAC, 100000.
"The country has no waterway pol
icy present nor prospective" said Rep
resentative Frear, "but only politi-
cal pork barrel steered by a power
full lobby, now actively at work in
Washington; lobby that causes us
to waste many millions of dollars of
public funds annually on useless or
private projects, some of which are
not even distantly related to COM
merce or navigation"

THREE DIE IN BLAST
pU POINT POWDER PLANT BLOWN
UP BY ACCIDENT.
Federal! and Local Authorities Probe
Riots at Youngstown, Ohio-Strlk-
ers Resume Work.

Wilmington, DEL, Jan. 10.-Three
men were blown to bits by an explo-
sion in the glazing plant of Mill No.
1 Of the Du Pont Powder company at
Carneys Point, N. ]. The structure,
a small building, was completely shat
tered.
Early rumors had the death list rum
ming as high as forty-three and said
that scores had been injured, but it
was officially announced here that
only three had been killed and none
injured.
An official of the Du Pont company
stated that the explosion was undoNbt-
eddy accidental and denied reports
that a number of suspicious charac-
tiers had been arrested after the blast.
Youngstown, O., Jan. 10.-The in
vestigation by both federal and
Mahoning county authorities into mob
violence at the plant of the Youngs'
town Sheet and Tube company last
Friday, when two persons were killed,
many wounded and a million dollars
worth of property destroyed, took a
new turn when County Detective Kane
said that two Austrians in the county
Jail here have made confessions in
which they said they were sent here
from New York to start the strike so
as to prevent the manufacture OF war
munitions for the allies.
The men are Dan Fleck and John
Brisky. They gave their address as
English square, New York.
Four hundred strikers who took
part in the riot on Friday night were
arrested by the state militiamen and
deputy sheriffs.
The backbone Of the big strike at
the mills of the Youngstown Sheet
and Tube company is apparently bro
ken. Hundreds of strikers returned
to work, all apparently in good
mood, when the big mill whistle
sounded Monday morning.
Following the decision Of the COM
pany officials to open the mills, Brig.
Gen. John c. Speaks, in charge of the
two thousand Ohio National Guards
men on duty there, withdrew all Of
his soldiers from the property of the
company.

MANY FALL IN FIGHT
CASUALTIES FOR BOTH SIDES IN
BESSARABIAN BATTLES
EXCEED $4,000.
HEAVY LOSSES BRING LULL
Struggles for Possession of Czartorysk
and Czernowitz Continue With Una
bated Fury - Fierce Clashes in
Streets Reported to London.

London, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company from
Saloniki says that fotilla of French
aeroplanes has dropped bombs on
Sofia, causing considerable damage
and an indescribable panic among
the inhabitants Of the Bulgarian cap
ital.
The struggles for possession OF
Czartorysk and Czernowitz are con-
tinuing with undated ferocity over
the Russian Christmas holidays. The
efforts of the Germans to outfank the
Russians at Bayan, on the frontier
east of Czernowitz, and thus relieve
the pressure on the latter place has
been checkmated by the Russians,
according to reports from the
front.
Fierce fighting occurred in the
streets of Czartorysk on the severai
occasions when the town has changed
hands. At present the Russians ap-
pear to be in possession or the
place.
The Petrograd official communlca-
ton says that the calm on the Czerno-
WITT front is due to the huge losses
and resulting decentralization OF the
Austro-Hungarian army. That there
is some basis for this statement ID
evident from the estimate of the Hun
garian newspaper, Poster Lloyd, that
the losses on both sides of the Bessa-
rabian battles so far exceed 175,uOV'
or more than the total British losses
in the whole Dardanelles cam
paign.
Another Hungarian newspaper
states, on the authority of staff re-
port, that the fighting on this front
has been the bitterest and blood1est
in the history of the war, both sides
sacrificing men in manner without
parallel.
Czernowitz (Bukowina) is still In
the possession of the Austrians. and
is filled with wounded. But the Rus
SLAMS apparently are directing their
main attacks against Sadagora.
In the Balkans reports persist that
the Germans are concentrating at
Monastir preparatory to an attack
on Saloniki.

STREET CAR CAUSE OF DUST
Scientific investigation Has Proved
This Fact Seemingly Beyond
All Possibility Of Dispute.

Where does the dust come from?
This question, which careful house.
keepers ask themselves every day, has
been scientifically answered by inves-
tigators of Harvard university.
They made measurements Of the
amount Of dust in the air at 20 feet
above the street in different places.
AT the junction of streets, where
the least dust was accumulated, the
amount in the air would equal daily
deposit of 9k pounds to the acre. In
another section as much as so pounds
per acre would be the daily deposit.
1t was found that the air in paved
streets was, on the whole, somewhat
dustier than that. of unpaved streets.
but the bad unpaved street was worse
than the worst Of the paved streets,
SO far as the amount of dust in the
air was considered, by % per cent.
The effect of street car traffic was
also considered by these investigators.
1t was estimated that streets with car
lines have one-third more dust than
streets without them, and the best Of
such streets are generally worse than
the worst of the free streets. The eX-
ira amount of dust in the air of
streets having street car lines consist
ed largely of fine particles of iron ;
the amount Of sandlike dust, or silica,
being about the same in both types of
streets.

"Sound" Criticism.

The editor of the Merrytown Mail
received a complimentary copy of a
musical composition from friend who
desired a favorable criticism of his
work. This is what appeared in the
next issue:
"As the editor of this journal doesn't
know demi-semiquaver from dia-
pason or a bass clef from a high c.
he will not therefore be expected to
give an extended notice Of this pro-
duction. We can say, however, that
the type used in printing the compost
ton is clear and plain. and that the
paper appears to be Of the best quality
Of rag. The design on the front page,
is most artistic, and the words are as
tender as real spring chicken and as
poetic as the song Of the meadow lark
on May morning. The melody Is
sound and all right. The harmony,
too, appears to be strictly o. K, with
no patent defects or noticeable blem-
ishes. The tonality is clear and re-
sonant, and rests on harmonic rela-
tions and melodic elements. This is
about all the praise in connection with
said composition we are able to evolve
from our cabbage-flavored tempera-
ment."

AND TIE CONGRESSMAN SAW
Really Nothing Remarkable In Story
Of Man Who Sold Horse at
So Much a Foot.

Two or three newspaper men and n
congressman in Washington, who was
Il merchant in private life, We're swap
ping yarns.
II remember on one OCCASION" said
the congressman, "having in stock a
big lot Of dry-gOods remnants that
seemed to stick right by me in spite
of all l could do to get rid Of them.
At last ! advertised to sell them ut
so much pound, and the curiosity of
people to see If they could get more
mt pound rates for their money than
they could get at yard rates soon
cleared out the stock. At another time
I sold a lot Of side meat at so
much square foot, taking the run
of the side. and the customers who
got bargains in the thick Of the meat
encouraged others who had the luck
to get theirs out Of the thin, so
evened up very nicely"
"Thut reminds me-" remarked one Of
the correspondents, "of horse l sold
once at SO much foot"
HOW was tnut inquired the COLI
gresham, somewhat puzzled. "How
did you make your measurements?
can understand how you might sell
him at so much q hand. and coming out
pretty well on it if he was big fellow.
sixteen or seventeen hands high, but
l don't see how you got at him by the
FOOT "
'That was easy enough. l simply
sold him at so much foot-$37.5O."
"How much did you get for him?'
and the congressman got out his pen
Gil.
"a hundred and fifty dollars"
The congressman figured for about
sixteenth of Il minute.

ANcIENTs DID GOOD WORK
Engineering Feat, II Is Said, Could
Hardly Be Improved Upon In the
Present Day.

AIontezuma's well, natural lake fed
by artesian flow at Camp Verde, Ariz.,
which has been offered for sale
to the federal government, is one
of the geological features Of that
neighborhood. Surrounded, as it Is.
by high natural walls, it seems from
a distance to be small mountain.
The outside Of these walls was pierced
in prehistoric age by cliff dwellers.
The well is great spring and has
been used for irrigation purposes for
many years. Its depth has never been
absolutely ascertained, but is known
to be in excess Of 500 feet. The wa
ter is highly charged with lime, and
moss removed from the inside walls
and exposed to the air soon petrifies,
the fibers being clearly discernible in
the composition. That the 'well' sup
piled the original, and now unknown,
inhabitants of the valley with water
for their fields and gardens is estab-
lished by the tracing of system of
irrigation bitches, which, according to
biologists. must have been construct
ed more than thousand years ago.
The water they carried deposited lime
along the entire system. and the forma-
ton, which may be seen now, is solid
mass Of stone, resembling concrete OF
this day. The walls of the bitches, in
places, measure more than three feet
thick. The builders performed an en-
cheering feat which could not be i'm
proved upon in this modern day.

Explained.

The fat and forty old lady had piled
the conductor with so many questions
that he was beginning to think that
mother-in-law jokes had substantial
foundation in fact. ...
Can you tell me on what cars can
use these transfer tickets? They mix
me up somewhat"
The conductor winked at another
passenger, and replied:
tits really very simple, madam.
East of the junction by west-bound
car an exchange from an east-bOund
car is good only if the west-bOund car
is west of the junction formed by the
said east-bound car. South of the

an exchange from a south-bound car
is good south of the junction if the
north-bound car was north OF the

south of the junction going south If
