THERE was little scene at the City
Building yesterday between two OF the
CITY officials. One OF them made a re-
mark that reflected upon the efficiency
Of certain inmates OF the City Building,
Whereupon the other retorted that II he
was included to the charge the other was
condemned ialsiGer, and here the affair
dropped.
SUPERINTENDENT RIDDLE, OF the Water
Works, has devised plan OF forcing the
water in the pipes to the highest points in
the city, something that has not been done
for some years. The plan consists in mod.
flying the strength Of the flow at lother
parts OF the city, so that greater pressure
will be exerted, and the water forced TO
the greater heights.
YESTERDAY a gentleman living in hiscity
received an anonymous letter, in which
was enclosed five hundred dollar bill,
which the writer said he was induced to
send in.the hope OF easing his guilty con.
science. The recipient Is at utter loss to
know whence the money came, or by
whom it was sent, as he does not recol-
lect having lost any money at any time, or
having even been swindled or cheated out
OF any such sum as that sent him.

Four Comets Now Visible.

IT is quite unusual to have four comets
in the sky ut once, as is the case at
present. The first of the four is Sche-
berries comet, which was discovered
last April and is now receding from the
sun. after having passed behind it. The
second is Fave S comet; a small periodic
comet, which makes its circuit once in
five and half years. 1t is now fast
passing from view and visible only to
the largest telescopes. after a short visit
under unfavorable circumstances. The
third comet is the one discovered, on
September 29th, by Hartwie. at Stras-
burg. and on the next evening, at Ann
Arbor, by Harrington. When first
seen, it was very bright for telescope
comet, and even visible to the naked
eye, with tail some two degrees long.
Its spectrum has been examined. and
found to be Just like that of most other
comets-apparently identical with the
banded spectrum seen at the base of a
coal-gas flame. The comet when first
seen had passed its perihelion. and has
been continually growing fainter, until
now in the moonlight it is an insignifi-
cant object. The fourth comet is the
one discovered in the Constellation of
Pegasus, by Swift. of Rochester. on the
night of October 10-11. 1t is described
by the discoverer as faint but very
large. and moving very slowly toward
the north and west. The moonlight
is SO troublesome that as yet astrono-
mers. so far as known to the writer,
have failed to get any observations on
it. According to the computations of
Encke, the comet of 1872 had an orbit
which would bring it around in 70.7
years, and, as this period is considera-
bly, uncertain. its return is looked for
almost any time. Until the orbits of
the new comets are computed. it is i'm
possible to say whether one of them
may not be this object. 1t was not,
however, in 1872 anything but tele-
scopic body.-N. ]. Independent.

A great deal of the hair that is now

Europe it has been in use for many
years, and great attention is paid to its
preparation for the different markets.

1t was hard work for him to charge for

Dengue, or ''BrOken Bone Fever"

DENGUE, or broken-bone fever, also
known as "dandy fever" "bucket
fever" and bouquet fever" is said to
have made its first appearance as mall
adv in the West Indies in 1927. at which
time it was also communicated to the
southern part of the United States.
The disease. as has previously been
stated, received the name =" dengue"
from the Spaniards of the West India
Islands, from their word dengue, de-
noting prudery, which expresses stiff
Mesa pain in the bones and stiffness
of the body being the principal features
of the sickening disease.
During the past few months reports
have come from every quarter in the
Southern States regarding the preva-
lence of this troublesome but not neces-
sarily fatal disease. But few, if any,
deaths have been made known from its
effects. Nearly every citizen of Savan-
nah has had a touch-some light. some
severe-of the malady, and not one of
them can give definite explanation of
the tortures of the disease. 1t has
spared no ONE adults. children, little
men, large men, black men, white men,
colored men, business men, sporting
men, printers, editors. lawyers. every
one being subject to its fond embrace.
As for a cure er a preventive for the
little nuisance, we are not prepared to
say what is good or what is not good in
either case, but leave the matter to the
physicians. who, by the way. have been
reaping rich harvest from the unlucky
victims of the disease. Some persons
have gone so far as to say that the fever
is more violent on those who have de-
lied it before falling into its clutches;
but for this we cannot vouch. We can
say. however, that any one. sooner or
later. who is among its victims. does not
wish a second battle In which to show
better fight. Probably for the above

Serpent Worship a Survival.

DIR. PHENE. F. S. A, F. K. G. s.,
read before the British Association a
paper lon the Retention of Ancient
and Prehistoric Customs in the Pyre-
nees." He said he could now repeat
more confidently the peculiar features
which indicate beyond question that the
customs of the Gallo population of the
south of France agreed, so far as they
might Judge from their lithic monu-
ments, with those who came further
north and settled in Britain. On the
crests and sides of the mountains on
both sides of the Pyrenees, /. e. in
Spain and France, are found sepulchral
arrangements of stones somewhat diff
ferent to any distinctly recorded among
our antiquities. These consist of a
number of circles adjoining each other
in the center of each is a cist with an
urn having burned bones, and the form
of the circle is that of a wavy or SER
pentine cross. The quaint old GUS
toms of early Celtic life are kept up
all along the Pyrenees, but not in
the towns, in the plains. or champagne
country. One of these, which he de-
scribed last year as still existing in
Brittany. that of wooden tally. in
baker marked by notches the number
of loaves he supplied. and which at
tracted the attention of the President
OF the section last year, was also exist
ent in the Pyrenees. He purchased
bakers bill at Perpignan few months
ago. and, though not so rustic as that of
Brittany, it approached more to our
old Exchequer tally, and to the Welsh
stick of writing described in ''Sardas,"
as well as to some elaborate and really
wonderful calendars, still to be seen in
the Cheetham Museum. at Manchester,
than to the rustic tally of Brittany.
On crossing into Spain and prosecuting
inquiries, he found the serpent or
dragon emblem everywhere prom
inent. and even learned that
the Tarasque, the ceremony of
which is performed at Tarascon, in
Provence. was a well-known dragon
with the Spanish people. He was told
that, though used as a popular diver
SIGN at fetes, it had always religious
meaning. At Luchon living serpents
are consumed in the flames. The youths
of the village had miniature cloven
pines which they burn. These they
brandish while flaming, in serpentine
curves, and cry loudly, "hilla-hilla"-
pronounced ELLA" But the Basque
often stands for q, and if we used it here
we had the old classic cry of the Bac-
chanals, who with serpents in their
hands rushed about wildly. crying Eva,
eva" The place where these cries are
mostly practiced has most remarkable
sculptures of serpents. After the burn
ing of the pine rush is made by the
more powerful. and the burning embers
carried off in their hands. regardless of
pain. Pieces are then distributed to
every household. and kept religiouslv
during the wear, rs was the custom
with the ancient Britons.
