creed that no public building legis-
lation should be enacted at the last
session of congress. There are one
hundred and sixteen other public
buildings throughout the U nit e d
States in exactly the same situation
as the Dawson building, and author
lied by the same act that authorized
the Dawson building.
! had hoped at this session of con-
gress to get favorable action on my
bill increasing the limit of cost, and
the members representing the other
hundred and sixteen buildings were
likewise optimists; but the powers that
control the republican congress have
again decided there shall be no pub
lie building legislation this session.
Realizing that conditions are chang
ed and that the prices OF labor and
material are lower, | hope it is now
possible to get bid to build the Daw-
son building within the limit of cost
today saw the secretary of the treas
ury and urged him to again advertise
for bids, hoping we can get bid with
in the amount of money available.
The secretary promised me that he
would take the case up with the SUI
pervising architect, and, unless there
was some insurmountable reason to
the contrary, he would order adver-
tisements for bids for the erection OF
the Dawson building. With assur-
ances of the highest respect, | am very
truly yours, I. K. CRISP.

TOWN BUILT ON GREAT ROCK
Ancoma, in Mexico, Surely Has Site
Such as No Other Place
on Earth Can Boast.

To live on top Of mushroom
would be a peculiar sensation. If
the mushroom were OF gigantic pro-
portions and were planted so as to
oyerhang the sea, the experience
would be very similar to that of living
in the town Of Ancoma, which Is three
miles south of the Mesa Escantada
In Mexico, says the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. The strange mush-
room-like rock on which the town
stands is a splendid specimen of
fantastic erosion, having Oyerhanglng
sides nearly 400 feet high The top
Of the rock is comparatively level,
and is about 20 acres in extent 1t
is notched with dizzy chasms. The
greater portion of 1t oyerhangs the
sea Ike an immense mushroom, and
the oldest thing Is that 1t should have
a town at the top.
Now, this town pertains to a past
civilization. 1t is one Of the most
perfect specimens Of the pre-his-
toric Pueblan architecture. with in
conceivable labor this town in the
air was built and fortified for the
safety Of It's inhabitants. 1t was
reached by a mere trail Of toe-holes
up the stem Of the mushroom. The
age of the town is not known, but
It was already old in 1910 when the
first explorers visited 1t.

SHOWED SMALLNESS OF MIND
Whstler's PetuIance Under Criticism
Was Cause Of Sorrow to His
Numerous Admirers.

There Is no doubt that Whistler was
a master of bitter words. His phrases
have a casual ease Of swapping and
stingng that often scarfies and some
times amazes. From his Puritan train
Ing and his extensive knowledge of the
Bible-"that splendid mine of invec-
tive" as he characteristically called
it-as well as from his own reckless
temper, he drew a profusion of abuse,
which withered, whether justifable or
not. And occasionally he was capable
Of great imaginative touches that re-
call his pictures.
But in general his writing is vexa-
dOus and, to say the least, undigni-
fed; the angry rattle of gifted small
boy, who ought to know better. The
Wilde correspondence is perhaps the
worst; but everywhere we get tone
of cheap abuse and railing. There is
a careless vigor Of sharp W.T., but hard
ly the vituperative splendor of Vol
taire or Swift.
And 1t Is such a small such a shall
low, such a supersensitive way of TAX
ing criticism no urbanlty, no serenity,
no large, sweet, humorous acceptance
Of the inevitable chattering Of the
world. | do not see how any admirer
of Whistlers genius can read "The
Gentle Art Of Making Enemies" with
out signing over the pity of it.-Gama-
liel Bradford, in Atlantic Monthly.

Memory and Instinct.

In the higher animals, we can see
evidences of the possession Of some
faculty similar to human memory,
which is made use Of particularly by
animal trainers. 1t is obvious that
instinct alone would not enable these
animals to perform such feats. While
we cannot investigate the animal mind
as We 40 the human mind, we can
Judge of It's processes by the outward
signs and these point TO the posses
sion of what we may call animal mem
ory. Some students of the subject
deny that animals have Imagination
and assert their memory is only as
socatiye- something the animal sees,
smells or hears, recalling a group Of
facts connected with it, and 1t being
impossible for it to recall this group
without some concrete suggestion.

WATCHED EFFECTS OF STORM
How Great Naturalist Took observs
tions During Severe Weather in
the Shasta Country.

Day after day the storm continued,
piling snow on snow in weariless
abundance. There were short periods
Of quiet, when the sun would seem to
look eagerly down through the rents in
the clouds, as If to know how the
work was advancing. During these
calm intervals ! replenished my fire
sometimes without leaving the nest,
for fire and woodpile were so near
this could easily be done-Or busted
myself with my notebook, watching
the gestures Of the trees in taking the
snow, examining separate crystals
under a lens, and learning the methods
Of their deposition as an enduring
fountain for the streams. Several
times when the storm ceased for a
few minutes, a Douglass squirrel came
frisking from the foot of a clump Of
dwarf pines, moving in sudden inter-
rupted spurts over the glossy snow;
then without any apparent guidance
he would dig rapidly into the drift
where he buried some grains of bar
ley that the horses had left. The
Douglass does not strictly belong to
these upper woods, and l was sur
prised to find him out in such weather,

land Words at Sea.

Cat is not an animal; 1t is a tackle
used to hoist the anchor. Chains are
not chains, but plates Of iron bolted
through ships side, to which the
rigging supporting the masts is fas-
tened
Dog watches are not periods of time
consumed in watching dogs, but they
are half watches of two hours each
from 4 to 6 and to p. m.
Draught is not a drink Of water,
but the depth Of water in which
vessel is required to float.
Duck is not a thing that swlms and
quocks, but light canvas used for
small sails.
Eye is not an organ Of sight; It is
a circular part OF a shroud or stay
That is looped over a mast.-Natlon's
