THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1903. No satisfactory argument has yet been advanced for placing the new chemical engine in McClellan Hose Company '8 house. There is every reason for giving it to the Liucolns. As has been pointed out in the News a chemical engine is merely to taokle small fires and hold them down until others arrive. As the Lincolns answer all alarms and is more centrally locat ed so aa to reach every section of the city in the shortest possible time, it is with thom that the chemical should be plaoed. The insurance^men know their busi ness and cannot be blinded bv so small a thing as a chemical engine. They, declared that a steamer was needed to give proper protection to the factory district and nothing less will answer the purpose. Give McOlellans a steamer, and put the chemical where it will be the most useful. In another column appears a com munication from Charles W. Barne kov in which he tells how certaW municipalities in California have suc cessfully wrastled with the dust problem. s jW warvs ?been one * "jipection to sprinkling the ? ? tfith oil, in the manner^stated. xs, it is said to stiok to the shoes and make spots on women's dresses. In California, it is declared, this trouble, is'not experienced. As the dust in this city 'is almost unbearable it would be a good plan to try the oil, sprinkling one street for some time so as to watch the result. Perth Amboy would welcome any means to solve the problem. The meeting of the Chamber of Commerce demonstrated the fact that the business men and oitizens general- j ly are fully aroused to the needs of better streets in Perth Amboy. Keep up^the agitation. While paved streets are at the foundation of all improve ments, to keep them in Rood condition is absolutely necessary. This cannot be done if they are to be continually torn np. To prevent this it is necessary to go below the founda tion and place all the pipes and con duits, which are likely to be laid in the thoroughfare, before the pave ments are laid. This may greatly de lay the paving, but the work should be done right if it is done at all. The first expense is enough and when the money is paid the people want some thing to show for it. Not a street Bhould be paved nntil a pnblio sewer, large enongh to drain the streets properly, water and gas pipes are laid. If this is not done the oity will see the day when it will be regretted. Public sentiment seem to flavor asphalt. It is well known that -asphalt once cut is never as good t^gain and, once started, it wears quickly. The following remarks by United States Senator Davis need no com ment, but they furnish food for thought : "Every year every local paper gives from 500 to 5,000 free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located. No other agency oan or will do this. The editor in propor tion to his means does more than any other man, and in all fairness, man with man he ought to be supported? not because you happen to like him or admire his writing, but beoause a local paper is the best investment a community can. make. It may not be crowded with great thought, but financiallv, it is of more benefit than both preacher and teacher. Today editors do more for less pay than any man on earth. Patronize your home paper, not as a charity, but as an in vestment." Summer Outing. The season for excursions of Sunday Schools, Churches, Societies, is at hand and everything is astir with Walter O. Walsh, Jr., the Distriot Passenger Agent of the New Jersey Central at Newark, N. J. Mr. Walsh is one of the best known excursion managers in this section, and the largest excursions from Newark and vicinity have been under his direc tion. Amone the excursion resorts reached by the New Jersey Central are Atlantic City, Mauch Chunk, Lake flopatcong, Asbury Park, .Ocean Qrove, Highland Beaoh, Boynton Beach and innumerable other resorts, while its well known Sandy Hook Steamer "St. Johns" can be chartered for trips up the Hudson or to the Shore and Sound excursion grounds. The New Jersey Central devotes par ticular attention to excursion business and ^f or information, dates, rates, etc., applyjjto W. C. Walsh, Jr., D. P. A., Broad street Station, Newark, or to C. M. Burt, G. P. A., 148 Liberty street, New York City. 2656-5-9-St-e o d Revenue from Refuse. The commissioner of street clean tag in New York city, Mr. Woodbury, has been explaining how the munici pality derives a revenue from every bit of street sweepings and refuse collected in New York, and he is proud of the good results from the city's incinerator and "digestor." "Now, what do you suppose," he said, "frequently clogs up our sifter? Why, hairpins! Do you know we sell tons of them and get quite a rev enue from them? And what do you suppose came out of the 'digester' the other day? Two one-dollar bills. I After the refuse is sifted," he con tinued, "it goes into the digester and later on is covered with oil. The top is skimmed off and what do you think we do with that? Why, that goes to Holland or France and comes back to this country as per fumery." ? N. Y. Sun. For Sunday School. Tho New Jersey Central's Excursion Resorts are among the best known around New York, and careful atten tion is given by the management to the^handling of excnriaon parties. In addition to the excursion places reach ed by rail the well-known Sandy Hook Steamer "St. Johns" can be chartered for "a trip up the Hudson or down the Bay, " and for informa tion rates and details write I.

"Oh, yes," suggested the hostess, carelessly. "But we don't think much of it." "You don't care much for such 'things, perhaps ?" "Oh, it isn't that, but this don't seem to We much good." "Not complete enough, possibly?" "It goes pretty near back to Ad?m, ' if that's what you mean," returned the ho?itee&, "but there ain't enough kings and queens in it to suit me.

Nature and man work together with incommon accord in forming the cele- - brated "floating gardens" of the Lakes 2halco and Xochimilco, near the City af Mexico. An English naturalist, who recently visited them and found them a paradise, tells how they grow. Float ing clumps of entangled peat, moss, rushes and grass are caught, combined ind anchored by stakes, or long sap ings of willows and poplars, which are iriven into the muddy bottom, where they soon take root. Fertile mud is then ladled up and heaped on the float until a real island is formed, which is quickly transformed into a garden where are grown flowers, melons, ?ourds and other kinds of produce/ which are daily carried to market :hrough a canal leading into the cityM There are hundreds of such gardens oft, ;he lakes. ?
