There 10 rumor that Lieut..
Englert,C who has had charge Of
the West Duluth police station
since Lieut.. Schultz was assigned
duty at the Central station, Is in
line for uptown duty. Before that
happy day arrives, however, many
hope that the professor OF the
police college will give the law
less aliens in his sector Of author
ity a good strong taste Of law
enforcement.
Lawlessness, disorder and inde-
cency have been rampant at West
Duluth ever since Lieut.. Englert
became entrenched in power out
there. Available evidence does not
conclusively prove what Is respon-
sible for the situation. Some fear
that it is due to a deal with the
lawless element. Others think 1t is
due to over-eating, excess OF flesh
and q touch of the hookworm.
Still others have credited the situa-
ton to orders from uptown, either
from the office of chief of police
or commissioner Of safety.
For several years, the aliens on
Raleigh street., Fifty-sixth. Fifty
seventh, Fifty-eighth and Fifty
ninth avenues have done just about
as they please as to gambling,
drinking, making moonshine and
dealing in illicit liquor. The best
citizens believe that the time is
ripe for enforcing the laws and
making those lawless lads from
southern Europe have some respect
for American laws, the Stars and
Stripes and Uncle Sans institu-
tions in general.
Many of the lawless aliens In
West Duluth could be deported II
they were caught, prosecuted and
convicted. Such stunt might make
few vacancies at the Zenith
Furnace company's plant, but 1t
would give law, order and real
Americanism a big boost in West
Duluth.
Lieutenant Englert must be held
RESPONSIBLE for conditions from the
time he was stationed there up to
the present day. It looks bad, very
bad.

Colonel Harper's blindpig has

and they give mighty small

It looks as If Ed. Dailey's days
are numbered at 1917 w. Superior
st. Before the administration chang
ed, Col. DALEY was permitted to
run without a soft-drink license.
Since the administration changed,
the place has been pinched or
evidence secured that will result
in a pinch, which probably means
an early finish for the Daley
dump.
Several lesser lawless and un-
lawful springs on Michigan ST.,
west of Garfield avenue, conducted
by Polish patriots, have dried up

Although some of the blindpigs
at the highly moral West End have
been slaughtered by the author
titles, goodly number yet make
that sector of the city unsafe for
law, order and decency
Now that the Crowley gang has
been put out of its lawless bust
ness, Col. Anderson seems to aspire
to wear the crown. Col. Anderson
has an alleged soft drink parlor at
1901 West Superior St., just a
stones throw from Harper's old
piggery and the vile den run by
Baron Mayvish. Those two disciples
Of low moral endeavor have opera
ted on the lower side Of Superior
street and Col. Anderson has his
piggery on the upper side OF the
street.
Colonel Anderson's place is known
a. the Interstate bar. The pro-
prietor was saloon-keeper in the
legally wet days, hence, like the
leopard OF holy writ, cannot change
his spots. He goes to church Sun
day morning and,< right afterwards,
hikes down to his blindpig where
he doles out the illicit moonshine
in small sacramento snorts to the
thirsty boozers. There's a partition
after you pass the end OF the bar
and. behind that, the laws OF state
and nation are badly broken. II

Curious FilamentS.

THERE is a sort OF electric lamp
invented by Musel which is re-
markable not only. for it's excellence
in practical use, but also for the novel
manner in which the filaments are
made. Alloys of Chromium, manga
nese, 'molybdenum, uranium. thorium,
chromium. platium. osmium andiridium
are first disassociated in water by the
electric spark. and being precipitate ted
in infinitesimal particles. they form a
colloidal mass, which, because of its
Elasticity, can be nodded like wet
clay. After drying. the f1laments
thus nodded become sufficiently hard
and resistant to bear all the manipu-
lations needed for their introduction
into electric lamps. As soon as
they have been heated to redness by
the passage of a current they return
to the metallic state. and thus form
fIaments of pure metal. perfectly ho-
mogeneous throughout, and of uni
form caliber.

Strange Farms.

DASSING through that portion OF
L California known as the "Saltou'
one sees stretched out below him long
of a curious design. These consti-
tute a part. of what is called the
salt farm" and the haycocks are in
reality great cones OF salt. Upon
investigation one will find that the
basin OF land into which he is gazing
is between 200 and 500 feet below the
level Of the sea and that something
like a thousand acres of this land
are covered with 4 vast deposit Of
salt
Each year there are removed more
than 1000 tons Of salt. The salt is
first plowed into ridges, then piled
into conical heaps, eventually going
to the drying house. From this it
proceeds to the crushing mill.
1t is an easy matter to mistake this
area for a field of snow, because it is
almost pure white, If one~ did not
know that snow does not fall in that
quarter. The supply Of salt is being
constantly renewed by deposits from
the waters Of salt springs flowing
into this basin.
TO remove the salt the services of
Indian workmen are utilized, since
these are the only men who can with
stand the terrific heat and the glare
of the June sun, for it is in that
month that the work is done. The
temperature often reaches $50 de-
grees.
Another very curious farm is. that
situated in Torres straits. at the most
northern point Of Australia. 1t is
known as pearl farm" and covers
about 5000 square miles. As a matter
of fact. this farm is a plateau cover
ed with shallow water, and there are
found more than $50 persons irregu-
larly employed in gathering oysters.
from which pearls are taken. These
pearls are sold in London for almost
q quarter of q million dollars.
