uR Very Nslls


Our readers will remember thst during
the early part Of the week quits an excite
msnt was raised on account Of the diaCoV-
cry that one Of the water cylinders Of the
new WorthingtOR pump had beeA cracked.
This discovery was very slGniRcant Of the
present iuncture, IN account Of the fact
that there was an imminent danger Of our
water supply being cut of, because OF the
rAttletIap old machinery now In the
building at the foot Of Eighth street.
In response 10 Q telegraphie inquiry,
the Worthington Company said 70 60
ahead and patch the crack and make 1t
answer until q new one could DO made to
supply the defect. This had already been
partially done blythe Superintendent and
the work Of completing the patching was
pushed on with oil the vigor possible, 90
that last night 1t was announced that the
pump was in readiness for forcing water
TO the basin. About ten o'clock our 70
porter called at the works, where he
found Messrs. Wilson and Kimberly Of
the Water Committee, Superintendent
Riddle, Mr.. Drew, OF the W~orthington
Company, Mr.. Russell, Of Pittsburgh, and
several other gentlemen.
Alter warming up the pumpA little 1t
was started up and ran very smoothly,
although Mr.. Drew said not nearly 90
smoothly as was desirable. After watch
ing the the running Of the pump, listen
ing to its '~'exhausts," and AdmiEing Ito
wonderful construction for q while, the
party went TO the basin 70 observe the
discharge OF water from the two inttuent
pipes, The Superintendent at once Bald
"There 10 not 40 much water
being thrown into The basin % by
the other pump" and guRging 1t, II
was found that during the twenty min
utes or half hour that we were there thai
NO psrceptible progress was made, al
though the demands upon the basin were
comparatively Insignificant, At this june
ture Mr., Drew came up from the works
and asked how the water was coming In,
and having been informed, he said thai
be could increase II, but that he wRs AFRAID
OF the strain on the cracked cylinder,
mi. Drew" said Mr., Kimberly, will
the boilers now in use at the works sup
ply the pump with steam, even In case the
cylinder was pertectY"

An attempt was then made to increase
the in1uent volume Of water and 1t wa
I brought up about half an inch but no
farther. and the regular run again dropped
into. The pump was used oil night.
The quantity OF water forced into the
basin by the new pump falls very much
! short OF the combined iorcings Of the two
old pumps, and unless this shall be i'm
proved by the new cylinder we shall not
have gained Q great deal by u purchase,
} We aTetherefoTe dependent upon the CO
pacity Of the old pumps to produce I
quantity Of water adequate to our. want
and II these fall we shall be In q bad state
Mr.. Drew said that he could not even ap'

the new cylinder.

A woodman lived in forest wild;
He was poor as poor could be-
His only treasure a maiden child.
Bonny and brave wGs she,
And she kept his hearth all warm and bright,
And welcomed him home with kiss at night.
Three robbers passed through the lonely wood,
They stopped at the cottage door.
"My fair little maid, now give us food"
Said she, "I have no moro
Than cup Of tea and an oaten cake,
And father his supper OF that must make"
eco bring us quickly the oaten cake,
And bring us the cup Of tea.
We're weary and hungry" the robbers spakc,
"'Twil bo little enough for three"
"But father" she said, "has toilod all day;
1 cannot give his supper away"
The robbers laughed both loud and longs
GA plucky lass!" they said.
"But give us kiss, and we'll be gone,
And leave you the oatcn bread"
"Nay! That" she sNid, "I cannot do;

"We could swoop you up, my littlo maid
You and your oaton cake,
And carry you off !-aro you not afraiL?--
Where none could overtake."

The father came, with the set of sun,

of eggs under her shell, and when the
tide is in-that is, the water is up high
on the shore-she comes up on the sand
as far as she can without getting out of
the water. She then digs n hole, and
puts the eggs into it-aD5 that's just oil
she does about it, and she never sees one
of the babies.
The next wave covers these eggs up
with sand, the hot sun matches them
out, and the little ones know everything
belonging to q crabs education, and
can take care of themselves the minute
they come out Of the shell. But the
drollest part of the business is the be-
havior of Mr.. Limulus. He wants to
see that the eggs are properly laid in
the sand, and he doesn't want the
trouble Of walking, so the lazy fellow
jumps upon Mamma Limulus' shell,
and lets her carry him up, and back
again in the same way. That's most as
my as our noble red men, who sit and
smoke while their wives work for them.
While am writing of crabs, want
to tell you n story about some cousins of
the king crab family.
1t is about the land crabs of st. Do
mingo. The Spanish had the town, and
tho English wanted to get it away.
After some fighting, the English, who
were in ships, scrt party ashore in the
night to surprise the soldiers and seize
the town.
AS they were forming on the shore,
they heard great clashing and clatter-
ing, and they thought the whole Spanish
army was after them so they ran to
their boats and fled.
In the morning it turned out that the
noise was made by the crabs, who come
out of their burrows in the sand at night
to seek their food.
In honor of this exploit, the people
have every year great feast, in which
n solid gold crab is carried about the
town in procession. It is called the
