Two or three yours ngo in a dozen
cities, notably Kansas City, Omahn,
and Wichita, Kansas, Los Angeles
and San Diego, city additions, away
out in corn iiehlsand potato patches,
miles from town, were oelng platted
and sold ns town lots. Speculators
bought and sold this suburban prop
erty ns worthless stocks are hawked
011 'change. Prices wont up, and
up, until it seemed "top prices"
would never he reached. Hut top
prices were reached and the credu
lous souls who paid them are now
"holding the bag," so to speak.
Such a result was inevitable. Heal
estate, like everything else, is worth
much or little accordingly as its
earning power or the value of its
Ubo Is large or small. To tills test
must all values come, and wherever
real estate has reached a valuation
above this standard, a reaction has
swept away the fictitious valuation
and left Investors who expected
speculation to prolong indefinitely a
system at once vicious and unstable
to count up their losses.
AVo have frequently directed at
tention to the great Held for real
estate speculation to be found in
Salem, and our readers havo been
advised to invest In Sulem city prop
erty. Side by side with the decline
in values in other cities has been a
steady appreciation of values in this
city. At no time havo prices weak
ened a point, and still tho tendency
is upward. There has been a great
ndvanee in property within tho past
year. Within tho twelve months
there will bo an advance of 100 per
cent. In tho valuo of all clashes of
property, and on some classes a still
greater upward movement. Under
such circumstances, with tho city
growing and extending Its bounda
ries at an unprecedented rate, with
values yet much below thoso pre
vailing In other cities, there Is
no room whatever to doubt that
Salem leal estate will quadruple In
valuo before prices settle a hair.
Put your money In Salem real
estate. "There's millions In It."
Frequent and moderate rain Is
the most effective of all sanitary
agencies. It cleanses the ground,
and, what is far moro Important, it
cleanses the ar. The ammoniacal
and other exhalations, contlma'ly
rising from decomposing animal and
vegetable matter, arc all more or
lcis soluble in water and are largely
removed by gentle rain. Besides
this It absorbs and carries down into
rivers and thence to the sea the ex
cess of carbonic acid exhaled from
our lungs, and produced by our fires
and lights. De Saussuro found tiiat
u shower of rain removed about 2.5
per cent, of the carbonic acid from
the air over Lake Geneva. Also
that there was less over the lake
than over the neighboring meadows
and the great elevations of the Alps
where there was no water. The
atmosphere over iho sea contains
less than one-fourth of the quantity
in that over the land. Far away at
sea the quantity is unappreciable,
and at a given place on the coast it
varies with tho wind, increasing as
it blows from the land and vice
versa. All those facts show that
water in contact with the air ab
sorbs its carbonic acid in a decidedly
practical degree. In densely popu
lated districts this is of considerable
importance. Tho dlfierenco is per
ceptible to tho senses after a long
drought, as tho common expression
"refreshing showers" Indicates.
WHAT THEY WEAR.
Wateb Is not the only physical
agent concerned in carrying the
earth's solid materials from place
to place, modern investigation prov
ing that dust carried by the wind
produces astonishing changes in the
configuration of the land. The
thick deposits covering ancient
ruins are now believed to havo been
largely brought by the air. A
French geographer, after referring
to Richthofen's description of, a yast
aerial soil-formatlou in China, men
tions having seen on the flanks of
high mountains in Mexico clay
strata not deposited by tho waters
nor by the decomposition of tho
rocks, but produced by the dust
raised from the plains by the winds
and left on the hills. These de
posits vary from 100 to 300 feet in
thickness, growing finer with tho
increase In height, and ceasing at
the limit of vegetation.
WOltl.l) KNOl.ISIl.
The problem of n universal lan
guage Is not solved by Volapuk, on
account of tho difficulty of keeping
In mind the numerous endings
which distinguish number, gender,
case, tense, mood, cto. As a more
promising system, a modltled form
of English for a world language Is
suggested. English Is from tho ob
jectionable lulleetlons, and It is al
ready reaching out toward univer
sality. While tho language must
remain substantially as at present, a
few simplifying changes would un
doubtedly bettor tit it for interna
tional use.
Fon a thousand years, at least,
Ohiiibo has been tho most used lan
guage on tho globe. It is now
spoken by over 400,000,000 peoplo;
Hindustani, which comes next in
extent of use, by over 100,000,000 ;
English, by about 100,000,000 ; Rus
sian, by over 70,000,000 ; German,
by over 57,000,000 ; and Spanish, by
over 47,000,000.
Evidknch exists that deaf mutes
are not confined to tho human race,
la a farmer's herd for twelve years
was a cow which never gave any
signs of hearing, and whoso ovldent
attempts at lowing resulted only In
a feeble guttural. Nothing abnor
mal could be discovered in tho ears
nor in the vocal organs.
Tin: Injurious ellects of many
liquors are ascribed to furfurol. This
is a colorless liquid, with a cinna
mon odor. Very small doses pro
duce symptoms of lockjaw and epi
lepsy lu dogs.

Tun same wind that bears tho
liinrlnor toward a rooky coast has
been forced into service to warn htm
of his danger. At a station near
the mouth of tho Seine u windmill
Is made to drive a dynamo, tho elec
tricity produced being stored lu suit
able batteries, anil afterward em
ployed for lighting beacons to guide
the. honmnn. Possibly the windmill
dynamos might lo adapted to do

PATTOIsMlOLMAN. At St.Pauis
church, Salem, January 10, 1889,
at6 p. m., T. M. Patton and Mrs.
Joseph Uolman, ltev. Post ofll
dating. This announcement conveys tho
intelligence of tho nuptials of two
of Salem's mast honored society
members having been celebrated.
Tho event was a quiet and unos
tentatious one, only tho family and
a few near friends having beon
present. Following tho. ceremony
tho couple received tho congratula
tions of tho assemblngo of friends
and took the overland train for
Southorn California where they will
pass tho first few weeks of tho
honeymoon.

Among serviceable petticoats, nothing ts
better than those of biscuit calico, with three

Tailor mode parasols to match gown and

A boon to bedraggled humanity is the
water proofed silk umbrella that dries itself
with a single shnko and which is too new" to
havo as yet got tho general use it deserves.

'Vord conies from Paris that whito and
cream gowns nro less seen than last season;
on the other hand, hardly a colored gown
but has whito accessories, either vest, collar,
culfs, panel, petticoat or front of skirt.
Whito skirti are reserved for evening
wear, and aro trimmed with lace, insertion
and embroidery quito nt discretion, though it
is well to remember that flno simplicity is
far und away better stylo than course orna
ment. To wear or not to wear whito at throat and
wrists is now a wilting if not burning quixs
tion, and though then) is something moro of
latitude than in seasons past, the weight of
authority inclines to tho retention of lin
gerie. A new and charming effect in tho much
iibod Gieel; "key border," is mado by form
ing it of narrow ribbon, over which, after it
is sewed to tho gown, small velvet rings are
fastened with embroidery 6titchos of tho
same color.
Futilards just from Puris recall nothing so
much as foim and color in general insurrec
