Had hi pre aprnt been working when these facts were made known it i extremely probable that the blue pencil would have paed through these interesting bit of news. If the new rule is to do away with these picturesque feature of the insti tution the press spent can never hoje for the filad hand from the average citv editor nor lak in a wealth of popularity generally. The frank and open manner of which the professor of the institution have startled the public ha made Chicago university new worth while; but if this i to disap pear it will excite no more attention than the routine affair of other universities.

There i a disposition on the part of some in this city to minify the value, and even the necessity of the north jetty at the mouth of the Colum bia river. Luckily, most of these efforts emanate from sources of little or no weight and will have but passing ef fect) in discrediting the plan of im provement inaugurated by the govern ment. It is, of course, expedient that the south jetty should be completed in order to determine the actual length and direction of the north pur, yet even this is not absolutely essential, but, that both are requisite and impera tive elements of a comprehensive sys tem fully understood and ordained by the government it-elf, upon whoe plans the north arm is incorporated and in whoe estimates the same is cal culated, is beyond all dispute; and that it is endorsed by men who are no lay men in the premises, wa captain., pil ots and chip-owners, and others in fre . quent contact with the bar and its ne cessities, and intimately familiar with the sand-shift and currents at work there, is also beyond any controversy. The Astoria Chamber of Commerce is composed of men whose dictum in an imporant matter of this sort h back ed by every consideration of public utility, and abetted by intelligent re search and. the absorbing interest of property owners in the port moat near ly amenable to the scheme of improve ment now afoot at the mouth of the Tiver, and it i not likely they would sanction, nor urge upon the govern ment, a futility of such dimensions. The plea that the north arm would net up a current so swift that the coastwise steamers could not enter the port against it, is the one superb argu ment in its favor, for such a current as that projected from the mouth of the Columbia river would almost in staritly, speaking comparatively of course, dig, and maintain the long wished for 40 feet of ship-way aeroas that barrier without extraneous) aid; and this is the vital reason why the north jetty was included in the plana now under way. Having dug out the channel of its own voilition the current would abate with its deepening until the last vestige of tidal resistance had vanished. SHOWS THE WAY OUT. The suppression of the infamous and dangerous cigarette a reformation deemed almost hopeless, ha received a revivifying impetus at the hands of the chief of the Seattle tire department who has forbidden their use by men in that service under pain of instant dis charge. There is a broad hint in this to every employer in the land. If the employing class will unite in the en forcement of a business ukae of .the same tenor and carry it out upon the instant of detected violation, the habit will W put to the bad in a remarkably short space of time. The remedy is thorough, practical and must prove ef fieaous, since the bread and butter are usually more iusistant than even the craving for cigarette indulgence; and. since those who have no need to lie em ployed at wages, are in a class by them selves and at liberty to hasten their own dissolution in the quickest and most preferable way, they may be left out of the calculation and permitted to enjoy the assinine momqmly. DELAY IS INEXCUSABLE. Further delay in the matter of pro jecting the plans for Astoria's new and modern hotel, is inexcusable. The idea will assume shape at the next meeting of the chamber of commerce, and it is expected a goodly concourse of mem bers and citizens will be in attendance to give the preliminaries a limit of sanction and endorsement that will en sure its definite launching. This ac complished, the scheme will take care of itself, for nothing ever languishes in Astoria that is once fairly started under decent auspices backed by honest purpose. 0 HAPPY RESULTS SOUTH AMERICAN ANTS. COLLEGIATE BLUE-PENCIL. In appointing a press agent for the Chicago university President Harper in timates that the news of his seat of learning is to be censored, since the new official will give out for publication only "those facts which deserve publicity." Manifestly that is all the public desires; -ut the views of President Harper and the public as to what "deserves public ity" may differ widely. For example, the president may not have been pleas ed with the published statement that one member of the faculty had told iiia class that he had never been kissed, Have Hade Many Astoria Residents Entbua'astic. No wonder scores of Atoria citizens grow enthusiastic. It is enough to make anyone happy to find relief after years of suffering. Public statements like the following are but truthful representa tions of the daily work done in Astoria by Doan's Kidney Pills. V. R. Mcintosh, whose place of resi dence is at 593 Harrison avenue, says: "For years I suffered very much from laments and soreness across the small of my back. To turn in bed gave me painful twinges and when I was not working but simply standing around there was a constant aching over my hips. The kidney secretions gave me no end of trouble. I often thought I had gravel so painful were the secretions in pasning, I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at Charles Rogers' drug store on Commercial street On taking them I soon noticed an improve ment in . my condition and the pain across my back was soon wonderfully relieved. Though I did not take Doan's Kidney Pills as regularly as I should have done they did me a great deal of good." For sale by all dealers. Trice 50 cents. Fobter-Milburn Co., Buffalo; X.

Davenport, Wingo, Ky., writes, June 14, 1902: "I want to tell you I believe Ballard's Snow Liniment saved my life. I was under the treatment of two doctors, and they told me one of my lungs was entirely gone, and the other badly affected. I also had a lump in my side. I don't think that I could have lived over two months longer. I was induced by a friend to try Bal lard's Snow Liniment. The first applica tion gave me great relief; two fifty cent bottles cured me Bound and well. It is a wonderful medicine and I rec ommend it to suffering humanity." 25c, 50c $1.00.

The greatest road builder in the world are a specie of red auta found In South America. In bulldlug a road they carry minute particle of clay, with which they line all the roads as well as the galleries and passages of their neat till they look as smooth as If cemented by a master mason. Some Idea of their number can be formed when It Is remembered that the whole of this road to their tree, perhaps near ly half a tulle long. Is densely thronged with a multitude going out empty aud coming hack with their umbrella like burdens, while thousands upon thou sands swarm In the doomed tree. That this vast army is under the best discipline ran be proved by watching them for ouly a few momenta. The drivers art constantly running up and down giving their orders to the work en, which they do by touching heads for a moment. The Individual so touched will atop, turn back, hurry for ward or show In some such way that he Is following some command. But a better proof of the discipline la fonnd In the fact that when the army meets with an obstacle, such aa a log or a large atone, there la a Jam of ants on both sides, and they run about in dis may and disorder. Instantly the driv ers hurry up. showing the greatest ex citement, and run over, around and un der the Impediment to flud the best way out of the difficulty. When they have decided they lead off the Hue of march In the proper direction. But until they take this step the workers make no attempt to pass the obstacle. When a selection of a level piece of ground has been made a perpendicular shaft some eight Inches In diameter and six or seven feet deep formed. This Is for drainage and ventilation, never for ingress or egreiw. If the ground slope the shaft Is borliontnl. the mouth, of course, being at the bot tom of the hill. From the erpendlcu lar shaft, commencing at the bottom, radiate gnllerlea. like the sokea of a wheel set at a slight angle. At the end of each series of galleries' spoke a cir cular gallery Is made, forming, as It were, a set of wheels one above the other. In, or, rather, above, these cir cular galleries the nests or dwelling place are constructed. These are oval In shape and about foot long. The narrow end of the oval Is downward and opena Into the roof of the gallery, and aa the spokes always slope slightly toward the abaft no tropical rains, no matter how heavy, can enter the homes and breeding places of the ants.
