WORK STARTED
ON STORM SEWERS

The work of excavating on the city
storm sewer contract by w. ID. Nor
gan, began Tuesday, but owing to a
necessary change to be made in the ma
chinery to be used. work is temporarily
delayed.
Contractor Morgan experienced a
long and eXasperating delay in getting
the steam engine which operates the
big shovel. The engine stood ready
for shipment a month before Mr.. Nor
gan could get it loaded and then he had
to appeal to the heads of the railroad
to get it moved, therefore a long delay
resulted.
The work started at the intersection
of Lake-av and East Third-st. and will
continue westward on Lake-av.
Mr.. Morgan had considerable part
of his equipment built here under his
direction. including the crane and
shovel.

THE TRUTH ABOUT EVIDENCE
Some Difference Between Its Theoret.
ieai Purpose and Its Presenta-
ton in Legal Practice

Evidence is that portion of the
truth which your lawyer thinks will
impress the judge or jury in your fa-
vcr. Any other portions of the same
truth must therefore be irrelevant and
immaterial and should not he admitted
as evidence. Thus evidence is both
part truth and partial truth
The theoretical purpose of evidence
is to bring out the truth. the whole
truth and nothing but the truth In
legal practice, however. 1t is used to
emphasize unduly certain portions of
the truth, to color other portions so
as TO imply things that are not the
truth and to cover mp the rest of the
truth
There are several kinds of evidence
Circumstantial evidence has probably
convicted more innocent parties than
any other kind. Documentary evi-
dence has no doubt convicted more
guilty parties than any other kind.
And counter-evidence cannot always
be made to count
Truth crushed to earth may rise
again. but nos If your lawyers objec.
tions are sustained by the court. Yer

Alexandria Modern CITY.

Alexandria, founded by the world
conGuerer, Alexander the Great, is an
Egyptian city that is eager TO lose its
connection with the far away past and
become completely modernized. Fate
favors this ambition. for the won.
ders that Cleopatra knew have
been eaten by fire or swept away by
the sea. Alexandria is city of trade
and fashion. dominated by prosperous
Europeans too deeply absorbed in the
stock exchange to be even vaguely in
terested In the romantic side of their
city.
Except for few visitors who have
read little history and are wildly in
quisitive regarding Cleopatra's palace
and Pompey's pillar. the ruins of AL
eNandria rest peacefully, unphoto-
graphed and unchipped by souvenir
hunters. One thing against the popu-
larity of AleNandria's ruins is their
Scantiness. For the most part. they
consist of'a few carved stones and
some 'sites."

LOW IN SCALE OF HUMANITY
Cave DweIIers in the Canary Islands
Practically Live as Do the
Wild Animals.

Principal cave-dwellers' settlements
island of Grand Canary. The name
means the Giants burrow," and
from distance the place closely re-
sembles rabbit warren or honey
comb swarming with bees. The caves
are more or less in terraces on the
side of steep rock, overlooking a
glen and river bed. Atalaya supplies
the entire group of the Canaries with
clay pots. every cave having its own
set of rude appliances for making
pots, and the people display great in
genuity and quickness in the work.
Men. women and children squat about
at The entrances to their caves, knead-
Ing the clay with their hands into
elegant Jars and using their finger
nails to apply decorative lines.
These trOglodytes. or cave dwellers,
are almost like wild animals, having
no morals. and very little clothing to
boast of. During the summer the
children run about almost naked, and
the woman wear the shortest of skirts.
They are probably the last remnants
OF the aborigines of Grand Canary,
who are known to have lived in caves
5OO years ago. The cave dwellers are
very different from the rest of the
islanders. who look upon them as
pariahs and would as soon think of
intermarrying with monkeys as with
them.-Wide World Magazine.

CAVE-MEN IN MANY LANDS
some of Their Dwellings Are Not
Without Fair Standard Of
Modern Comfort.

Iroglodytes. cave men. living fn
their cave dwellings, are to be found
In Mexico, the Canary islands. in the
Crimea, as well as in Spain, France,
Italy and England, according to Har-
OLD j. Shepstone, in the Wide World
magazine. The Italian troglodyte
dwellings at Bari are little more than
houses which it has been found simpler
TO cut out of the soft rock rather than
to go to the trouble OF collecting build
ing materials.
The chief headquarters of the Span.
ish troglodytes is the village of Bur
gasot, near Valencia Their dwellings
are practically entirely beneath the
ground. Many of these dwellings have
been recently excavated and offer a
fair standard of comfort, often having
handsome palm tree In front of the
entrance.
Throughout the whole of Crimea
there are endless SUGGESTIONS of cave
dwellings. but the only ones still in
haDlted are in Inkermann, name
which itself means cave castle"
There are vast holes and cozy rooms
with Lodges of stones which were
doubtless bedsteads in prehistoric
times. There is also a wonderful cave
church. ftted with columns, choir loft
and elaborate sarcophagi. The altar
ana the cross are of so unique a form
that antiquarians are unable to con-
meet them with any known sect.
