SALT LAKE CITY. j; XOIILY PLANED. BI T NOW RUN j „ DOWN AT THE HEEIi. , The Much Talked of Streams oi , ' Crystal Water are Dirty Ditches The Tithing House, anil j the Mormon Temple. V correspondent of the New York: Tim**, writing from the capital of Utah, planned. The blocks of 600 feet square seem interminably long. They are not cut through by alleys, so that to"go round the block" is a long journey, j Brigham Young was not considering the j matter of convenience to pedestrians when he decreed that the blocks should be so enormous, but was providing a square in which there should be space enough when subdived to give every occupant of a su >- division land enough to provide him with a garden in which he could raise every thing that his family could need in the way of "garden sass." If the greatcity sive element and feeling, they will be cut in two twice. After having plotted the city in blocks of magnificent size, and planted an enormous number of trees along the edges of the streets, the Mor mons seem to have foregone all further efforts at adornment. Some of the writers who have made glowing descriptions of Salt Lake have lingered long in telling about the streams of sparkling mountain water that roll and babble along the edges of its streets, nourishing the trees and grass and impart ing coolness and freshness to the atmos phere. The accounts may have been true when they were written. They could not be repeated now with any regard for truth. It is true that the water from the mountains, taken from City Creek, does flow through the streets. It is carried in little ditches, about two feet wide, planked at the sides, the planks being stayed up by cleats nailed across at inter vals of six feet or more. When the water supply is abundant, as it is not now, these ditches may not be nuisances. It. is difficult to imagine the flow of water to be so strong as to rid these little "catch-alls" from refuse of all kinds that is thrown into them, that is blown in by the wind, that accumulates wherever building is going on, that gets into them in many different ways that dirt will col lect in gutters. Instead of "babbling" through these open sewers, the water now runs in a stream so thin as to be insuf ficient to carry away even the bits of paper that litter them. It is a mere trickling rill, and sometimes an infragrant one. The great canal through the centre of North Temple street, intended to carry off the excess of water in Oitv Creek, is dusty and dry, and in places hidden from sight by dead brush and grass. When you have praised the broad streets and the miles and miles of shade trees that, arc the outcome of Brigham Young's foresight,and have admitted that nature never furnished a more beautiful setting for any city than it has for Salt Lake, you have said almost all that can be said for the city as it is. There is one little green spot within the high cement wall that incloses the block occupied by the Tabernacle, the Assembly Hall and the unfinished Temple of the Church of .Tesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But it has every appearance of recent growth; the trees are all saplings, and one can not help thinking that this suggestion of taste for the beautiful has been from one permitted expression since the death of the greatest man the Church has pro duced. If you climb the hill and walk along the road that Brigham built, early in the settlement of the city, to enable his followers to get into the canons for firewood, and you pass under the four legged arch, with a huge eagle resting with outspread wings upon the keystone, you are told that here, under the arch, Rrifhiyji tookjV-tSivVfth the money expended in making the mountain highway. Then lie removed the tolls, leaving the toll gate and its eagle to recall the. story of early vicissi tudes and his own enterprise. By the side of the Eagle Gates is the Bee Hive House, in which Brigham lived. It was at one time a stately mansion, two stories and a half high, with ample gables and an upper square structure and square cupola. Tt has a second-story piazza all around the building, and a corresponding covered way for the ground floor. The grounds do not show great care, and the glimpse you get of the garden is not gratifying. At the left of the house begins a wall of cobble- i stones set in cement. It. is eight or ten feet high. The corner and gate posts, of tapering cones, are out of repair, and there are evidences of carelessness in broken slats in the house blinds, decayed I cornices and sagging blinds. The wall suggests mysteries. No one can resist asking what it protects, or, rather, what it once protected. Nothing is protected j now in Utah, if it is Mormon. The I officer* of tie Uttited States may tcale j anv wall or enter any inclosure at any | time without process or other warrant except the Edmunds law. The w.U screens what w*s once Brigham s busi- neM office and his harem from the public ~a z c Next to the dusty mansion of the a, L d prophet and President is the office, a building a story and a half high, wit 1 a | porch extending across the first story. ! you can only sec the top of the porch I lrom the street. Next to the office, with its gable end to the wall, is the Lion House. Ju this house lived Brigham S v . ives Five of his widows still occupy it , 1 i The new temple, standing at the end of the 2400-foot lot set apart for sacred | buildings, is imposing in size but mean .L-less in style to the Gentile. Its size , ! dwarfs any church building in New ,j But it does not look like a church with t | its three square towers at each end of a , ne arly square structure of four stones, . i with alternating rows of oblong am < " , cu iar window openings. Without the aid of a guide one may i stroll about the wide streets, excep ! wh ere they rise against the bench that 112 .. MIL > u' lulu "set? what sort .i t houses the people live in. They arc e nearly all small, the larger part of them i not exce?ding a story and a half in s height. Nearly all are of the plainest. - pattern. Some, and not the oldest of r | them, are built of abode, the large, sun- I dried brick of which the earlier houses e j were constructed. The grounds about e most of them would be considered ample, s Orchards are common. Grass plots arc 1 I rare. Everywhere you find dilapidated , I fences, or no fences at all, gates unhung -| or entirely missing. Shutters hang by - j one hinge or are fallen to the ground, e Occasionally there is a neater house, with t a well-kept lawn of richest close-shaven r grass. I made inquiry about these places, j They were invariably the houses of Gen -5 ! tiles. I asked a polite Mormon why his i people did not give more attention toap | pearances. He said the Mormons were t i nearly all poor in money. They were too - | much occupied with works of necessity ; j to indulge in unnecessary decoration of t 1 themselves or their houses or lands. ' Whatever the reason the result must in • I evitably give the stranger the impression ; that the Mormons are shiftless, without : I taste, and utterly indifferent to the ap • ! pearance of their homes. Yet lam told - that the Salt Lake Mormons are, in this i respect, far ahead of their co-religionists ■ of the rest of the Territory. Inventions Oa Not Come by Chance. The traditions of great discoveries that, have come by chance are, for the most part, myths. True, a lucky acci dent may occasionally give a hint to an inventive mind that, will help toward a long contemplated consummation, but such an occurrence is only a link in a chain of circumstances all tending to ward a common end. Sir Isaac Newton got such a hint in his philosophical re searches when, on a certain occasion, he noted the falling of an apple. He had seen many apples fall before that time, no doubt, and no day of his previous life could have passed without presenting to his sight similar occurrences having the same relation to the object of his study. Hut that particular apple happened to fall and be noticed by him just when his study of the greatest of all philosophical problems had reached the right point to make the object lesson valuable. Tradi - tion gives another alleged accident—the familiar story of the kettle—as the turn ing point in the discovery or invention of the steam engine, but he who studies the life and works of James Watt will Hud that there was nothing accidental in the kettle accident. It was but a link in the long chain, all of whose links he wrought by patient toil. All the great triumphs of invention that arc now em ployed as factors in human progress have reached their present development by successive steps. The telegraph of Edison's time, although like that of tike that in detail and in the manner of i operating it. A single invention of Ed ! ison's—not by any means an accident— j quadrupled the capacity of all the wires 1 strung or thereafter to he strung. The engines that drive great ships across the , Atlantic in less than six days are the rc , suits of the work of successive gencr i ations of brainy men. Millions have been lost in experiments, change has fol lowed cluinge. one improvement has suc ceeded another, until the marine engine of our time bears little resemblance to that of thirty years ago. Go into the press-room of a great newspaper and see the printing machines at work making and folding copies of a twelve-page edi tion at the rate of a thousand a minute, and you see the result of hundreds of in ventions, the progress of generations. Accident has had nothing to do with it. All has come from work, work of the best brains stimulated by the desire to get fame and fortune.— The Inventivt Aye.

One of the most interesting of the lit tle bits of quaint South American life which have been added to New fork's f treet panorama by the Spanish-speaking delegates to the Commercial Congress was noticed in a Fourth avenue street car. The car was well filled when it reached Eighteenth street on its way downtown, and most of the passengers looked like business men immersed in their morning iMiner*. Bv the side of a young man »> \ soft hat-a very dark-haired and black eyed voung man-sat a handsome young woman. . Suddenly the young woman gfve a lit tle scream, sprang to her feetpushing something away in the meaijime and lmstily left the ear. The dak young man in the soft hat smiled, up a lon- green bug which lmnu from the j lappel of his coat by a tiny pld chain! some eighteen inches long, ant replacing the curious creature on his ireast vent |on reading. Everybody in £c «x then ! bcga „ looking at the bug which had crawled away from the masterand bnogtt , up on the young woman's shoulder, e Untt Innlrod like. J1 tlouble SciirUOtClA, tt j i> were two beet's united Uy the very narrow wuist abit which the slender frold links bound- It was about an inch and oue-eighth lor, and each of the lobes of its body «s nearly half an inch broad. The lifd was distinguished from the other end y short, black mandibles, and there we six black legs, three on each side, wh h looked exactly like those of a sjiidr. These South American bugs, which re used as personal ornaments, have sev«al times recently been exhibited at eurici ties in tlie windows ot' Broadway jcwl ers. The one seen in tlie street car is toe property of .Mr. Gan ia Perez y Kiera.a young Gautemalan, who chose this occa sion tor a visit to New York, lie wis it is harmless and quite tame.—_Yi in )"oK World. Picturesque Old San Diego. Old Town, or new San Diego, Cal. .vas once the cee'er of civilization anc has a historical interest at this later da; with its broad streets, wide plaza and od abode houses. Here the missionaries, « Jesuit priests, says a correspondent «t the Springfield liejittMicuii, erected n church that has mostly crumbled awu;. The friar's garden bears no vestige of iis olden glory. Cactus hedges, some okl date palms, and some trees still bearing olives are all that remain to tell the tae of past grandeur. Among the literal) lights who are making their homes in San Diego are Bryant, the historian; t liarles Edwin .Uarkham, who writes for the Century , and has a charming villa ii a canyon retreat; Miss Estelle Thoiuj son, a story teller for the Youth'a <'<>n ptmion, and Lee Hardy, the Texas anther and novelist, who has recently come t> live ill this bay climate that has suel healing properties. Joai|uin Miller own several lots of I'acifie beach, and antiei pates makiiiu' a summer home for himsel there in the near future. Scattered alonf the beacli are some fanciful homes—ant many more are contemplated. When on' thinks that two or three years ago hf could rent a boat for fifty cents a day, and sail from the city over to this beach that had not a house on its shores, u any signs of civilization, you will under stand that the story here told to-day ami so happily illustrated, is not such a mar velous tale. Curious Atmospheric Phenomena. A Boston lawyer, who lias returned from a trip to Maine, tells of a curious phenomenon existing at the Livermore Falls in that State. At the foot of one of the dams the descending water seems to be driven back with so much force that half-way up the column of water there is an ever-moving line of water, like a crease in a piece of cloth. This lias an effect upon the surrounding at mosphere that, is almost incredibly great . The phenomenon is not observable at all times, but when the "wave" is visible | OM th* J in mo air at some distance from the fall | are observed to vibrate, perceptibly in t j regular movement. The vibration whil" perceptible at the time when the "wave" can be seen, seems to stop alrjost in stantly after the '-wave'' disappears, and it seems almost certain that thu latter causes the former.— Boston Advert ker. Spiders' Webs. A well-known naturalist who haf been studying the habits of the spider says that the insect can get along nicely until old age overtakes him. Each spider has the power ol spinning a certain quantity of web. When he has spun himself out he is in a bad way, not only because he has no home, but because he has no chance to obtain food. The life of a spider is as full of luck as that of a man. If he constructs his web in an out-of the-way place it will last him a loiif? time, but if he happens to spin it where a woman with the brooui can reach he will likely soon fitd himself spun out. As long as he remains strong he is all right, for he can overpower the young spiders and steal their webs. When he can no longer tight he becomes a tramp, and digit of starvation Are Your Pullets Laylngt The late ones, as late as July and August, can be brought forward so as to pay well, -while eggs bring good prices. Strictly fresh eggs will probably retail as high as 50 cents per dozen, in Boston and New York markets before January Ist. Mrs. L. J. "Wilson, of Northboro, Mass., says:"ln past years when my pullets laid at all, they would lay a litter and then mope around for weeks doing no laying. Last fall and winter there was 110 in terruption of their laying. The results were the best I ever saw in an experience of eight een years. My thirty pullets were all six months old. In just eight weeks they laid 1437 eggs, which I ascribed to the use of Sheridan's Condition Fowder, to make hens lay." I. S. Johnson & Co.. 22 Custom House street.
