opposmoN DISAPPEARING Strong Sentiment in the Legislature In Favor of the enlargement of th« Stcte Capital Grounds. Harrisburg, Feb. 25.--It. Is believed that Senator Fox's bill providing foi iho extension of the ground surround ing Pennsylvania's magnificent new state eapitol will be passed Anally through tho s> nate during the present week. The bill has been amended so that no more than $500,000 of tlie total ap propriation to pay for the fourteen acres of land which it is proposed t< take can be expended in any one year It will lie demonstrated by facts and figures rom the oil'; lal reports and es timates of the exp* nses of the staU government for the next two years that the payments lor the Capitol Park extension can be made without in the slightest degree infringing upon the money necessary for the mainte nance of state charitable institutions, the semi-private institutions which arc accustomed to receive state aid, the public schools and a large additional appropriation for the construction ot good roads and still leave always a comfortable surplus in the state treas ury. The sentiment among legislators appears to be much more favorable to the proposed enlargment of the eapitol grounds than it was at the beginning of the session. The members have looked over the ground, have seen the absolute necessity for this great im provement, and they realize that it can never be made at any other time for so little money as it can now. They realize that the growth of the com monwealth and the increase in the public business will make necessary wiibin the nejtt fpw years the erection of additional buildings for the accom modation of some departments of the state government for which there will soon not be room enough in our new eapitol, just as new buildings are be ing erected in Wasihngton for the executive department of the national government. To accommodate those new buildings in Washington the government is pay ing $10,000,000 for property which im mediately after the close of the civil war could have been got for $500,000. It Is absolutely impossible to erect any additional buildings on the pres ent eapitol grounds without destroying the effect of our splendid new eapi tol. The proposed extension would provide sites for the additional build ings which are sure to be necessary and at the same time give a proper setting to the eapitol and permit a fine view of it from the railroad over which 12.000.000 passengers go every year, and from which it is now hidden by buildings mostly poor, mean and unsightly. Senator Fox's bill carries an appro priation as it stands now of $1,(300,000, no more than $500,000 of which can be expended in one year. This, it is esti mated, is sufficient to pay for all the ground needed, which will be taken by a commission to be appointed by Gov ernor Stuart, and the valuation to be assessed by a jury of view to be com posed of entirely disinterested per sons. Property in Harrisburg is enhancing in value very rapidly. Unless the sec tion which is needed for the enlarge ment of Capitol Park is taken now its value will multiply every few years. The state cannot possibly make a bet ter investment, simply as a business proposition than to take this land be fore it is built up by fine large build ings, as it inevitably will be if the states does not take it. Many Kinds of Days In One. A mean solar day is the averr.sre c. mean of all tli" apparent solar days m a year. Mean solar time is that shown by a well regulated clock or watch, while apparent solar time is that shown by a well constructed sun dial. The difference between the two at any time is ihe equation of time and may amount to sixteen minutes and twei: ty-one seconds. The astronomical day begins fit ii'jou and the civil day at the preceding midnight. The sidereal and mean solar days are both invariable, but one day of the latter is equal to 1 day minutes and seconds of the former. A Safe Perch. At tho crowded downtown corner the frightened pedestrians were scurrying out of the way of street ears, automo biles, delivery wagons and policemen on horseback.
