The Color eff water.

The color of water forms the subject of >
recent inaugural dissertation by Herr BoGs
in KieL After reviewing previous observs-
tons, he describes his own experiments, the
first of which were qualitative, sunlight being
sent through water in a zinc tube about for
ty-six feet long, closed with glass plates.
Distilled water thus gave a fine deep tue
green color; the red was quite gone. the
yellow feeble, while themaximum brightness
was in the green Water of the Kiei SUPP ~

ted two screens with the same light source
(sodium light or a gas fame, before which
was placed red glass, or sulphate of copper
solution. The light from one screen went
through the water in a tube; that from the
other along the tube outside. Both beams
were brought into position for comparison
by means of total-rehection prisms; the
screens were shifted till equal brightness WAS
reached, and from their position the eoefh-
clients of absorption could be approximately
inferred The decrease of absorption towards
the blue in the case of distilled water Is thus
clearly shown Herr Boas further studied

alarms, 145 proved to be only chimney
alarms and 1891 were calls for fires, of
which 157 resulted in serious damage and L.
S24 in slight damage. The fires of 1881 COM
pared with those of 1880 show an increase of
100, and compared with the average of the
hast ten years an increase of 351. The num-
Der of fires in the metropolis in which life
was seriously endangered was l07 and the
number in which life was los. 90. The num-
Der of persons seriously endangered by fire
was 154, of whom III were saved and 40
lost their lives. The number of jo. =
neys made by the fire engines of the fifty
three land stations was %, AL, and the total
distance run CO, 9O4 miles. The quantity Of
water used for extinguishing fires was H.
232, 6S2 gallons, or about &c, 931 TONS. The
strength of the brigade at present is as fol

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANNSs
Postal savings banks were started a few
years ago in England and were Immediately
appreciated by those for whose benefit they
were planned. They have continued to grow
| in popularity and usefulness, and their praise
| is now sounded far and wide. 1t having been
abundantly demonstrated that such banks
can do a good work it is proposed to have
them in this country, and bill providing for
the establishment of postal savings banks in
the United States was introduced early in
this session of Congress. This bill has been
or will be favorably reported to the House by
the committee to which it was referred.
AS the bill now stands the first section pro-
vides that in order to make the Postofice de-
partment available for the protection of
small savings, and to facilitate the deposit
and withdrawal of the same, there shall be
| established at the seat of government a
branch of the Postofice department to be
known as the Central Depository" and the
Postmaster General shall be authorized to
create such sub-depositories as in his judg
ment are advisable. The bill provides that
any person above the age of twelve years
may become depositor by depositing So,
or a multiple thereof, and may thereafter
deposit 81, or a multiple thereof, at any
such depository. The bill provides that no
depositor shall deposit more than 800 dur
ing thirty days, or have to his credit more
than $500 at any one time; that all deposits
and Withdrawals of deposits shall be free of
expense to the depositor, and that he shall
be allowed interest on sums of So, or multi
plies thereof, at the rate of two per cent. per
annum: that such interest shall be computed
for each full calendar month, and that with
drawals of deposits shall be made by with
drawaI checks. 1t is further provided that
at each depository there shall be kept for
sale stamps of the denomination of ten cents
each, to be known as a postal savings
stamp" and that to each purchaser of such
stamps the postmaster at that depository
shall furnish card to be known as the
"postal savings card upon which he
may affx such stamps, and when
these stamps reach the value of So
he may deposit the card with the stamps
affixed and be entitled to the same benefit as
if he had deposited So in cash; that all
moneys received at these repositories shall be
deemed public moneys and moneys in the
United States Treasury, and that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is authorized to receive
all such moneys and invest them in interest
bearing securities of the United States, or Sc
curities guaranteed by the United States, or,
if such securities are not obtainable except at
loss TO the government, then he is author
ICED to invest the same in interest bearing
State securities.
There is no reason apparent why these
banks should not work as well here as they
have in England. 1t is to be hoped that they
will receive trial The plan set forth in the
bill seems to be sound and well arranged.

| Winsome Lillian Mcclure touched with
ruby red lips the tips of her taper fingers
and flung the kiss after Vivian Featherstone
as he sauntered down Blue Island avenue.
She could never bear to call him Vivian, be-
cause her brother had once lost SO on q
horse of that name.
It was in the ripe September days follow
ing this event that she became acquainted
| with Vivian Featherstone. He brought Bar
tram home in hack one evening. stood him
up gently against the front door. and rang
the bell with a tender pathos that told its
own story. When Lillian went down stairs
and let her brother fall into the front hall
she found in his overcoat pocket three lem
ons. With woman's instinct, she knew at
once that Vivian had placed them there.
! ''How thoughtfully kind of him, F" she said,
as the thought of how Bartram's head would
ache in the morning came over her.
They did not meet, however. until some
weeks later, when Soiree dansaate at the
house of a mutual acquaintance brought
them together. An introduction followed,
and the usual light conversation of the ball
room was begun. Vivian spoke about the
new theory of horizontal cleavage in red
sandstone, and from that their talk naturally
drifted to the subject of the new court
house.

you not remember the night that Bartram
was paralyzed? found the lemons in his
overcoat pocket, and my heart told me who
had placed them there. Is it strange that l
