Such was the assertion mad« recently by the officials In charge of the chemistry bu reau of the department or agriculture, It was unnbunced some weeks ago that the agricultural department would ■ndertake a series of experiment« with cokl storage f<ssls and tlatt u class had been ««-cured from the clerical force oi the chemist's office. Difficulty was ex periem ed In obtaining a cold storage warehouse, although efforts were mad« here,, in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. Fp to the present tlmt there has been no response to Dr. Wi ley’s efforts, and this. In addition tc the fact that congress did not appro prlate sufficient money for the venture has placed the experiment proposition behind all other questions of bureau administration. Cold storage expert meats will be taken up next year If a sufficient amount of money is granted by congress, but this year the experi mental class will have a vacation. Representative Kyle of Ohio is the hero of a remarkable snoring story. It happened during one of his campaigns In But keyedom, says the Washington Post. U<‘ found himself at the conclu sion of a certain day in a small Ohio town wlab'h had a small hotel for the aevomimslation of travelers. "Give me a room, landlord," quoth Jlr. Kyle, "that is quiet. I want a pl-u e where I can rest undisturbed.” He was given No. 18, slept like a log and the next morning descended to the 0 lice floor. He engaged the tiootblack In conversation while acquiring a ■hlne. and that worthy observed In the couis<‘ of a dialogue on divers topics that "the man who slept 111 No. 18 last night never ought to go away from home, he snores so."

It is the purpose of the naval author ities to make Improvements at th« Washington navy yard commensurate with its importance as one of the best big gnu factories in the world, provld ed congress will be reasonably and fair ly liberal In the matter of appropria tion at its next and succeeding sessions. In addition to the $1,080,000 Improve meats now under way. Improvement« I have been recommended for next yeat amounting approximately to $3.000,000. The necessity for the new buildings and machinery at Uncle Sam’s great gun foundry at the navy yard has been apparent for some time In order that the plant can keep pace with the de mauds of the rapidly growing and superb American navy. The Machinist«’ Baud. The Washington navy yard has a band which is unique. It Is known as the “Naval Gun F’actory Machinists’ band,” and Professor Charles F. Stan ley, a machinist as well as a musician of long standing, is its leader. He con ceived the Idea of organizing such a band last February and immediately put the project on foot. Notices were Issued and a meeting of those interest ed was held nt McCauley’s hall on Cap itol hill. By the middle of last March the band was fully organized with thir ty-eight placers. Concerts are given in the pagoda-like band stand in the navy yard every other Saturday. Campaign Carlo.tile«. Hundreds of campaign devices - badges, pins, pictures, lnpel buttons and purses have been received at the White House since the opening of the presidential canvass. In fact, the pres ident's mall Is burdened with all sorts of oddities in the way of campaign songs, political literature, poems, me chanical toys and puzzles. As a rule, the devices received are filed away in the curiosity archives of the White House, but occasionally an exception ally meritorious one is shown to th« president or given to his children. New Flair on White House. When President Roosevelt com menced the activities of the winter after his vacation a brand new flag was hoisted on the White House by a quartermaster from the navy depart ment.

Plans for the scientific arrangement and treatment of shade trees in the District, as suggested last spring by President Roosevelt, have taken shape, after a careful study of the situation by Colonel John Biddle, the District engineer commissioner, and by Mr. Gif ford Plnchot, chief of the division of forestry of the department of agricul ture. The District government will execute the plans, with one or two minor exceptions. Oregon Laud Cane«. "FINK!" REPLIED MR. KYLE. had evidently heard It from one of the . other guests. It wasn’t long before Mr. Kyle beard a traveling man ob serve that he had passed a fearful night. "Why,” said the drummer, "that man In No. 18 was a terrific snorer. He never ought to go away from home.” Going in to breakfast, Mr. Kyle was seated at a table with two other gen tlemen. The first asked the second how he had slept. “I never slept a wink,” was the re ply. "That terrible man In No. 18 kept me awake with his snoring. He ought to go out Into the middle of a field at night away from the stock.” "How did you sleep?" Inquired the first gentleman, addressing his question to Mr. Kyle, as though the disturbance had caused a common grievance for all under the hotel roof. “Fine.” replied Mr. Kyle, with zest. "Where in the dickens were you?" added his guest In great surprise. "In room No. 18,” said the Ohioan. Hugh Leonard, the polite, agile, en thusiastic Instructor in wrestling at the New York Athletic club, who knows no Irritation and no fatigue, oc- casioually enlivens a bout with a remi- uiseence. Here is a sample: Years ago, when Hughie was start ing In to throw all creation, he attend eil a little private “mill” where a pre liminary feature was a wrestling match lietween a Dutchman and an Irishman. The arrangement was that If either contestant felt himself ex hausted he should cry out "Sufficient" They stripped, got to work and slammed one another about in fine Btyle. Forty minutes passed, the Irish man being the victim most of the time, but never murmuring. Suddenly the Dutchman, though the better wrestler, relaxed his hold. Completely wlmled. he gasped, “Sufficient!" "l’egorra,” exclaimed the Irishman, staggering to his feet, “that’s the word I’ve been trytu’ to think of for half an hour.”—New York Mall.
