Some Wonderful Rcpnry In a Rton
Seldom Vlnltcd by Travelers.
Wo leave Coriontos at C p. m., and
at a dlstanco of eighteen miles reach
tho Trcs Bocas, tho confluenco of the
Paraguay and Parana rivors. In broad
daylight It Is curious to obsorvo tho two
strenms at the point where a long sandy
spit marks their Junction. Tho waters
of tho Parana aro of a dirty green color,
whilo tlioso of tho Paraguay aro yel
lowish brown, and for sovoral miles the
two mighty streams flow parallol and
unmixed, tho meotlng of tho two being
marked by a long lino of foam, form
ing, as it were, a whito cord stretching
down tho middle of tho rivor, and sep
arating tho green waters from tho
brown waters.
Tho Parana makes a sharp turn east
ward, and under tho namo of Alto
Parana may bo followed on tho map
up to about tho nineteenth parallel of
latitude, wliero it is formed by tho cou
fluenco of tho two rivers Paranahyba
and Rio .Grande. A few leagues lower
down tho course of tho stream Is inter
rupted by the cataract of Urubupungo.
Prom this point it runs south-southwest
as far as tho twenty-fourth parallol,
wliero it is again interrupted by tho
cataract of Guayra.
Tlio region traversed thus far belongs
to Brazil, and was occupied by Jesuit
"reductions" in tho Sixteenth century.
Doubtless in tho more or less distant
future, when ways of communication
havo been created, all this fertllo terri
tory will onco moro bo occupied. At
tho cataract of Guayra tho frontier of
Paraguay begins, and tho river runs
from nortli to south, bounding tho re
public, and then from east to west, un
til it Joins tho Paraguay. Tho fow
travelers who havo seen tho cataract of
Guayra describo tho falls as being as
flno as those of Niagara, but unfort
unately they aro still in tho midst of
solitudes to which access is difficult.
Tho Salto do Victoria, somo twenty
miles from tho conlluenco of tho YGua'
zu and tho Parana, is also said to bo
very magnificent, and somowhat easier
of access, but as yet fow travelers havo
seen it. Tho navigation of tho Alto
Parana is difficult, but practical up to
a certain point. Tho Platenso com
pany runs 'a passenger steamer threo
tunes a month from Corricntes to Po
sadas and tho intermediate ports Lo-
mos, Santa Isabel, Ituzalngo. Posadas,
on tho Corrientes side, is 225 miles from
tho confluenco of tho Parana and Para
guay rivors. Prom Posadas a smaller
bteauier of tho samo company runs
twlco a month up to Tacuru-Pucu, a fow
miles above tho confluenco of tho
Y-Guozu, and about 400 miles from
Corrientes,
Beyond this point no screw or paddlo
steamer has been able to conquer tho
rapids, currents and eddies. Tho whole
of tho banks of tho Alto Parana, from
Villa Encarnaclon up to tjio Salto do
Guayra, aro covered with forests of
yorba mate, or Paraguayan tea, and
tho chief trafllo Is tho transport of tills
article. Theodora Child In IIar,.-r's.
Gits from Petroleum.
A now process for tho manufacture
of gas from petroleum has been put
into practico at Kittannlng, Pa., by
which it is claimed that cos can bo
manufactured at one-half tho cost of
tho old, and is much better for illumi
nating purposes. Tho method is a very
simplo ono. consisting of a feeder and a
system of retorts. Theso retorts aro
kept at a certain heat, and tho oil forced
through them Into a receiving tmik
filled with water. When tho heated oil
strikes tho water It turns into gas, and
Is convoyed from thero to tho supply
tank, ready for use. It is said that
1,000 feet of gas can bo manufactured
from ono barrel of Lima oil. Now

HOW SALHU HHOUI.U OO TO WOKK
TO l'AVB limtBTltKUTs.
Tho paving matter is still ponding.
There is much good to be expected
from tho fact that It Is deferred an
other month. In the meant lino
public Interest atul commousenso
can crystallize, and bo brought to
bear where it will do tho most good,
Tho praotlcol rejection of tho bids
for a block is a good omen. Adver
tisements will now bo put out for
nt least three blocks. AVhat may
become of the matter In tho end, It
is difficult to opine. That Salem
should havo some paved streets
stands to reason. Tho mero appear
aneo of paved streets la of great
value. To be ablo to say that our
city has thu finest streets in tho state
would be un small matter and such
wo could easily havo. No argument
is needed for paving. It Is ono of the
things all concede without alterna
tive. A city to bo any kind of a
city at all must put its leading busi
ness streets in condition softs not to
bo subject of detraction and rldl
culo at homo or abroad .
Then what kind of paving shall
it be? This has been a much dis
cussed question. Allow us to observo
that, besides limiting the expense to
somo right proposition of the valuo
offibuttlng property, tho kind of
paving to bo chosou must really bo
made u secondary matter. Any
kind of paving is secondary to prop
er construction thereof. The best
pavemeut poorly built will not last
with a cheaper pavement well put
dowu, and vice versa.
The water problem is really more
serious thau which kind of paving
shall bo laid. Unless tho water
question is settled aud means of dis
posing of water aro provided, no
time need bo spent In selecting this
or that kind of paving, llemovo
the water from the soil aud take
care of tho water on tho surface and
any kind of paving will bo a success.
Let tho water stand In the soil and
on the surface and any kind of pav
ing will be a fulluio.
Tills need not bo argued. It
ought to satisfy any person who is
not prejudiced or biased by self
interest to say that all authorities on
roadbuildlug and pavl.ig ngreo on
this proposition. If nnyono wishes
to see tho cfleot of perfect dralnago
on a street all ho needs to do is to go
out on the asylum grounds In sum
mer or wlutor aud seo what a more
gravel road can be made when tho
water problem Is solved. The best
bltumlnous,briok or block pavement
will sink In tho mud aud rot if the
propor Hteps are not taken to removo
tho water.
How shall our streets bo Improved ?
Letn proper grado bo established.
Close oue-half tho width of the
street to all travel. llemovo tho
earth aud put down drain tlio 3 to
1 feet deep. Fill m broken rook,
then coarse gravel stones or broken
rock. Thou coat It with line sifted
gravel not flno gravel and mud
nor un tid and gravel. But puro lino
sifted gravel. Mudo this way, with
good cement curb and gutters, with
proper faco, Salem cau have lovely
streets summer aud winter. But
tho wator In the soil and the stirfuco
water must bo provided for or any
pavement will fall.

TUK DKATII OP JUDOK LOV15.
Tho death of Judgo Lovo, oftho
United States district court, at
Keokuk, Thursday, July 2, was a
loss to tho state aud nation. For
nearly forty years ho had been a
foremost citizen of Iowa and for
more than thirty years ono of tho
most distinguished among western
jurists. Ills life, full of noble en
deavors aud rich In noblo deeds
accomplished, is an epoch in Iowa
history. When death comes to end
such a life men feel tho loss severely,
but tho thoughts of sorrow become
tho suggestions of thaukfulueMi that
he who hus hi en called was so long
ullowed to do his noblo work.

he was appointed Judgo of tho

His com mission was signed by

London, July 10. The kaiser
dined at Buckingham palace, aud
about 0 o'clock the kaiser and
kalsorlno with tho Princo and
Princess of Wales proceeded in state
to tho opera houso at Coveut Gar
den, wliero they wcro enthusias

Tho knlser dined with Lord Lon

Tho preparations for tho reception

kaiser and kalserine, will go to the
city from Buckingham palace by
way of tho Straud, Fleet street,
Ludgafo hill aud Cheupslde. The

of force lu guarding tho imperial
progress through tho streets might

Tho streets will be gaily decorated.
At tho Guild hall tho recorder of
