The WATER Notwithstanding tue
drought our water supply continues abundant.
The frequency with which it comes from the fau-
Gets in a muddy state has induced the belief that
we are consuming tide water, but such Is not
the case. There Is II sufficient volume L~water
coming down the race to supply pre%At de-
mand, both for tue City Mill and the grain mills.
In the event Of scarcity of water the
latter wond be compelled to suspend first. as
the city has the first right to the water that is
TO say, so many inches of water are allotted to
each mill, that of the city being at the bottom,
and would consequently be entitled to the use OF
the flow after the stream had been lowered be-
low the standard prescribed for the other mills.
We're tue case otherwise. we should probably be
put to acme Inconvenience on account OF the
scarcity Of water unless the present reckless
use were discontinued. Men and boys in various
parts OF tie city keep mp almost constant streams
with hose, satnratng the street yards and side
walks, and on Saturday evening one man was
observed seemingly exerting himself to the ut
most TO empty the basin. He first directed his
energies towards washing ont the dirt between
the cObble stones in the street, and then turned
| hs stream III other directions until enough wa
terhad been wasted to supply very large number
| of families. This reckless waste of water should
| be stopped. and if prudence does not suggest
such course to those guilty of such practices
! other remedies should be provided.

was that much money that said
Grover would not carry Benton
county. The bet was not taken by
our Democratic friend he said he
had better use Tor his money.

Col. Jo. Teal was "blowi' g" the
other day, and offering to bet on
the election. At length he ven
tured, as no one seemed to be ill
Clined to put up on the result ofthe
election, that even Marion county
would go for Grover, giving him a
majority over both Campbell and
Tolman, "and I'll bet twenty dol
lars on it." said Jo. That was an
unfortunate boast for Jo., for he
had no sooner made the assertion
than gentleman present came up

SOLAR HEAT As A TOOL,

During the recent building of a
bridge in Holland, one of the traverses,
465 feet long, was misplaced on the
supports. 1t was an inch out of liue,
and the problem was how to use it.
Experiments proved that the iron work
expanded shall fraction of an inch
for every degree Of. heat received. 1t
was noticed that the night and day
temperature differed by about twenty
five degrees, and it was thought this
might be made to move the bridge. In
the morning the end of the plate was
bolted down securely. and the other
end left free. IN the heat Of the sun
the iron expanded, and towards night
the free end was bolted down, and the
opposite end was loosened. Tie con-
traction then dragged the whole thing
the other way. For two days this
experiment was repeated, and the de-
sired place reached.
We find no record that the heat Of
the sun has ever been employed in this
way before; the fire heat has already
been used to move heavy weights over
short distances Broken walls and
strained roofs and arches have been
brought into place by simply heating
iron rods till they expand, then taking
up slack by screws and nuts, and
allowing contraction by cold 70 pull the
wall or roof into place.

A DEArH BED, INTERVIEW By Tr1p
GRAPH.-The telegraph in Australia
extends for 1000 miles across the
wastes of the insular continent, and tie
line is greatly exposed to the attacks of
The natives who Use THE wires to point
their. spears with, and break the insula
tors IN order to secure the fragments,
with which they scrape the spear blades
smooth. In order to guard the line,
therefore, each station 10 fort. Oh the
evening of Feb. % one these stations
was suddenly attacked, and in the me-
lee Mr.. Stapleton, the master, was fatal
ly wounded. The station was 1900
miles from Adelaide, and the sufferer
had to be treated for his wounds by
Dr.. Gosse of that place, by means of
consultation over the wife. The case
was hopeless, however, and all that
could be done to make the situation of
Mr. Stapleton, somewhat easier to bear
was to allow him to exchange a few
parting words with his wife, who, like
the surgeon, was 1920 miles away in
Adelaide. This was done, and the
man and woman who had seen each
other for the last time on earth were
able, in measure, to say to each other
those words Of tenderness which cheer
the dying in their last moments, and
leave pleasant remembrance upon the
minds of the bereaved.
