He said the engineers had been for eighteen months Jocating the site for a restraining dam on the Yuba, andthen—‘He informed the committee that the plan was entirely feasible and that with theappropriation of the $500,000, which is available for such purpose, works can be constructed with sufficient capacity to take care of all the debris which is now deposited above the proposed works, also all of that to be carried down from the hydranlic mines during the next twenty years, and thatthe works can beenlarged as necessity may require.’ “Let us examine this one minute, The board of government engineers in 1891 reporied an estimate of 860,000,000 éubic yards of earth yet. to be worked out in the Yuba river basin. Now what kind of a dam isit going to take to hold that? This would cover 5,830 acres a hundred feet deep!

Shakespeare’s Conceit Finds a Counterpart In Reality, When Shakespeare put in the touts of Hamlet the curious conceit about the dust of the great Alexander havingbecome loam and then stopping & bunghole in a beer barrel, he had seemed to reach the ultimate extravagance: of imagination. Yet, near the Porta Salaria a still more unexpected extravagance was revealed after the excavations carried on there. In these a cippus, or sepulchral column, conpis ae a cinerary urn of rare oriental alabaster was brought to light. The inscription on the cippus revealed that the ashes contained within the urn were those of Calpunius Piso Licinianus, who, in February, A. D. 69, was proclaimed Caesar by the Hmperor was killed, and Piso also~ suffered death in his thirty-first-year. His were the ashes that the alabaster urn contained. The precious urn was given to a workman employed on the premises to take care of. Some days after, when the proprietor of the place asked for the urn, he found it empty. “Where,” said he, “are the ashes that were here?’ The workman, surprised, said that he gathered them together and, never dreaming that they were any good, but being white and clean, sent them to his wife to make ‘lye for her washing! And thus, said the late Shakespeare Wood, describing this incident, have the ashes of an imperial Caesar, adopted by Galbra as Tiberius was adopted by Augustus and accepted by the senate, been used more than 18 centuries after his death by a Roman washerwoman to cleanse her dirty linen, together with the ashes of other members of the family in whose veins flowed the noble blood of Crassi and of Pompey the Great!—Baltimore Sun.

Shakespeare’s Conceit Finds a Counterpart In Reality, When Shakespeare put in the touts of Hamlet the curious conceit about the dust of the great Alexander havingbecome loam and then stopping & bunghole in a beer barrel, he had seemed to reach the ultimate extravagance: of imagination. Yet, near the Porta Salaria a still more unexpected extravagance was revealed after the excavations carried on there. In these a cippus, or sepulchral column, conpis ae a cinerary urn of rare oriental alabaster was brought to light. The inscription on the cippus revealed that the ashes contained within the urn were those of Calpunius Piso Licinianus, who, in February, A. D. 69, was proclaimed Caesar by the Hmperor was killed, and Piso also~ suffered death in his thirty-first-year. His were the ashes that the alabaster urn contained. The precious urn was given to a workman employed on the premises to take care of. Some days after, when the proprietor of the place asked for the urn, he found it empty. “Where,” said he, “are the ashes that were here?’ The workman, surprised, said that he gathered them together and, never dreaming that they were any good, but being white and clean, sent them to his wife to make ‘lye for her washing! And thus, said the late Shakespeare Wood, describing this incident, have the ashes of an imperial Caesar, adopted by Galbra as Tiberius was adopted by Augustus and accepted by the senate, been used more than 18 centuries after his death by a Roman washerwoman to cleanse her dirty linen, together with the ashes of other members of the family in whose veins flowed the noble blood of Crassi and of Pompey the Great!—Baltimore Sun.
