Paving the Worlds Streets

The lake of asphalt in Trinidad hiss
fallen only fifteen feet since its dis
covery by early explorers, despite the
fact that approximately 100000 tonR
of road-making material have been
removed. 1t is estimated that TO-
100000 tons of.the mixture have been
churned into asphalt by gases during
the ages in Pitch Lake, which Is
known as Devils Caldron among the
natives. To transport the materi,l
rails mounted on ties have been o.
tended over the surface, and cars &r~
run out to the diggers who never nova
the scene of operations, as each morn
ing finds the holes left by the previous
days activity filed up. About evey
three days, the pitch covers tie ra : .
way, which slowly sinks into the sI.s
material and must be raised and L.
laid. By means of this track, 100000
tons of asphalt are withdrawn from
the lake each year. The entire de-
posit covers an area of about 40
acres, but its depth has never l5cen
measured.

NAMES AND PLACES

"A Tariff is a thing Of shame,
A thing ne'er mentioned save with
blame,
A monster of most hideOus mien,
A blight that spreads across the
scene"
This is the note we used to hear
From bards who sang it "thrOug the
year.
"A Tariff isn't quite so bad"
| Observes the modern Southern lad
when duties cover garden peas,
And shield the fruit upon our trees.
A Tariff may be bad" you see,
Not wicked" as it used to be.
In rambling through a dozen States
We hear of different Tariff rates
In Texas and in Arkansaw.
The Tariffs reckless rude and raw,
But when it sings a local song,
It's never then so very wrong.
When local interests thrive and
gain,
When fourishes the subar cane,
When rice does we'll, when, citrus
men
Are making mOney-then, ah, then
The Tariff has it's faults, no doubt,
But 'taint so black as some make
out.
Some Tariff features were so good
They Won a smile from Underwood
Some schedules (truthful, though it
shocks)
Were favored cen by Mr.. Cox.
Some FOrdney rates (can this be
true0
Were popular in Southern view.
Across the sea men used to say
The world must walk in CObden's
way;
The Tariff was so Out-Of-date
1t could not last in any state.
Such tunes would quaver, throb and
squeal
In eulogizing Bright and Peel.
Though late the British Parliament
Its aid to divers interests lent;
Though statutes aim which statutes
be
Aimed at the Teuton DER the sea,
The Briton will not yet admit
Protection is a right good fit
He says Some places in the field
May need a legislative shield"
He says that Parliament may try
To aid what's plainly most awry.
He does not shrek or moan or faint
If one should say Import re-
straint."
Although Protection was of yore
Five hundred years and something
more;
Although it had a mighty share
In making England, scribes declare
Twill never do, twill never do.
To say Protection helps us
through"
Whateer the name, whate'er the
phrase,
In modern as in former days,
When industries in urgent need
Call for a leader who can lead,
Whate'er the notes they chant and
