RE. FIRE ORDINANCE

The fire ordinance as a.
 mended Wednesday evening at the meeting of the city council fixes the fire limit as follows:
 On the south side of the Santa Fe tracks, taking in three blocks, beginning on east with block one, extend ing to west end of block IS; thence north across tracks to middle of street in front of block 100 and along cent CT of street, east to middle of street between blocks nine and twelve; thence north to alley in block nine, then through east and west alley block nine and four over to middle of Pleasant Street; thence south to south east corner of block one to place of beginning.
 The council after a thor ough investigation, and hav- ing in mind the best inter ests of the taxpayers, shear ed the ordinance of it's ob- jectional features. In a word the fire ordinance covers those building which range the railroad on each side by the length limit defined in the original ordinance.
 This action on part of the council was highly intelli- gent, because it show that the council is honestly try ing to serve it's constituents and give them what they de- sire as nearly as is possible.
 Mayor Cooley and his council are honestly endeav- bring to give the people of a fair and impart- ial city government, and it behooves the taxpayers to see that they are not unduly hampered.

slmpIe ExpIanatIon.

Why is It that fishes make no d.S- :urbance when swimming through the water, although there is rushing noise when a stone is flung in? Thia IS explained by the fact that, in the latter case. it is the filling of the cav ity that is made, rather than the mere impact. which causes the noise, where as the body of the fish is so shaped that when it moves through the water 1t ;eaves no such cavity behind it ana therefore there is no disturbance.

Car Tracks Wear Tires.

The severest wear on solid tires Is caused by driving on the car tracks, according to an official of q rubber company, quoted by the Scientific American. He says that when on the tracks most of the load is concentrated on a limited portion of the tread, so that it is overloaded and quickly worn away, besides, sharp pointed frog may actually cut piece off the tire just as A knife would.

Have you ever read what Renan said of over-education? Well, here 1t Is: "A great danger impends because the accumulation of knowledge and power is unlimited, while the human intellect does not expand. There ia reason to fear that the human brain may collapse under it's own burden; {; that there may come moment when Its very progress spells its ultimate decadence. It will be like an equa- tion that carries its limits within It's own statements."-I.Os Angeles Times
