New York's Water Supply.

The Proposed New Aqueduct-Ahother
 Heering by the Committee of InvesEi-
 SatfOn to the Necessity for Building
 One.
 From the New York World, January 2al
 The committee investigating the subject of a better water supply for this city met again yesterday. Mr. James E. Ssrrell, of the Taxpayers Central association, said that it ration could bring more water to the city than it now supplies He promised to lay before the committee figures to prove bis as- sertion. MT. Thomas L. Feitner. counsel for the Taxpayers association, said that 8 full and important investigation into the sub. feet would prove conclusively that there was plenty of water and he thought that the aqueduct could be made to bring enough water to the city. If 8 new aqueduct is needed it should be built under the supervi sion of commission and by contract work. The contracts ought to be approved by the proper authorities and then ratified by the tsxpayers at an election. Similar safeguards to protect the interests of the people were adopted years ago, when public officials were considered as honest as those now in office. He said the estimated cost of the new aque- duct as made by the engineers of the De- partment of Public Works was not satis- factory one. If commission to build it was decided upon the committee should consist of one member from each Senatorial dis trict.
 Mr. John Lockwood, hydraulic engineer, presented plan which he claimed would re- duce the wasts of Croton- 1t was his opin- ion that 50 per cent. of the present supply

Electrical Transmission of Power.

According to Engineering, the first practi. cal application in Scotland of the celebrated transmission of power to 8 distance in everyday use has just been made at the works of the Railway and Electric Appliances company, Polmadie. Glasgow, by Mir. Rankin Kennedy, electrician and engineer, formerly of Paisley and Kilmarnock. By means of two dynamo electric machines, designed and made by him at the Polmadie works, a power of from four to five horses is trans mitted from the line of shafting of the turn ing and fitting shop of the works to the de- pertinent occupied by the carpenters and pattern makers on the opposite side of the yard of the works. Thus transmitted, the power is used by those workmen for driving the large saws used in cutting their wood, and 1t is completely under their control. In this example of the electrical transmission of power there are used two of Kennedy's dynamos. One of them-the generator which supplies the electricity-is placed on the floor of the turning shop of the works, and is driven by belt from the line of shaft ing which drives all the machinery of the works. This generating machine runs all day, and from it two copper wires are led away to the carpenters and pattern makers shop, where they are fixed and connected to the other dynamo, which. as in the former case, is also on the shop floor. This second dynamo is the motor which received the electricity from the first !; the shaft of the motor dynamo being caused to revolve at speed of GOO revolutions per minute. A belt from the pulley on this shaft drives the saws when the current is turned by the switch handle.

bounded straight up in the air. The cobra
 missed his object, and struck the ground un-
 der him. Immediately on the mongoose
 alighting, the cobra, quick as thought, struck
 again, and, to all appearance, fixed his fangs
 in the head of the mongoose. The mongoose,
 as the cobra was withdrawing his head after
 by fixing his teeth in the head of the cobra.
 This seemed to convince the cobra that he
 was no match for his fierce and watchful an- tagonist; and now, no longer exhibiting a head erect, and defiant eye, he unfolded his coils and ignominiously slunk away. Instant ly the mongoose was on his retreating foe, and, burying his teeth in his brain, at once ended the contest. The mongoose now set to work to devour his victim, and in few minutes had eaten the head and two or three inches of the body, including the venom so dreaded by all. We should have mentioned before that previous to this encounter the snake had struck a fowl, which died within half an hour of the infiction of the bite, showing beyond doubt its capability of in- hicting deadly wound. After the mon- goose had satisfied his appetite we proceeded to examine with pocket lens the wounds that he had received from the cobra, and on washing away the blood from one of these places the lens disclosed the broken fang of the cobra deeply imbedded in the head of the mongoose. We have had the mongoose con- fined ever since, (now four days ago,) and it is now as healthy and lively as ever." This anecdote lends strong confirmation to the theory that the mongoose is uninjured by the venom of poisonous snakes.

Fly Fishing.
From the Gent1emen's Magazine.l

 For dashing sport and constant excitement there is no kind of loch- fishing so entrancing as is sea trout angling with artificial fly. ''Hah he had it then, we murmur, as the shapely silvery creature leaps wildly at our gaudy lure, and the unkind barb is driven well home into it's palate; and while the boat rocks on the dashing waves, and Donald vainly endeavors to get her head to the wind, whirr whirr away goes the swift sea- trout toward the open sea. You hold on, and set your teeth in the face of the wind, while up into the air leaps the fish once and again, and then runs of at 8 tangent and Springs up once more, to fall like bar of silver on the crest of big wave Your heart is in your mouth for moment; but all is right and the line is soon seen cutting the dark water to one side of the boat 'tNow, Donald, the net I" Whirr away once more darts the trout, once more springs up 30 yards away from the boat into the sunshine, shows it's gallant form for moment; then there comes a slack line, and you know your fate s'Aweel, Sir," says Donald, ''sniffng" the while, "I jist thocht that was over muckle treot to be ta'en. She's like enough the witch troot that Sandy Macfarlane saw leaping like 8 flying fish f the moonlight roond and roond his boat Sand had been, ye ken, to Craigel- lachy to meet the men, and hadna but twa drams when," &c. This story is as good as any other, at all events, to solace you for the disappointment; so you suffer the old man to tell the tale of the witch trout" and then he too has dram like his hero Sandy, after which it will not be his fault if you are un- successful Nothing is SO snobbish and de- testable as to spoil boatman by overpsying and giving him too much whiskey, but 8 true sportsman and gentleman is always con- siderate to his gilly, and when the boatman is old, and specimen of nature's gentleman like our gillis Donald little extra kindness, Sv1r, h ,afrI now and then between the stdrifts,'' gives him as much pleasure as it will give you profit Such man looks forward to summer, when the gentlemen will be coming" quite as much as the latter long for their northern holiday.

went to waste. Meters should be put in
 more general use and water should be taken
 from the rivers to wash the streets and for
 sanitary purposes. If this was done the
 present aqueduct would give the city a plen-
 6ful supply for the next twenty-five years
 It would be a good idea, MT. Lockwood
 thought, to build tower 300 feet high and
 100 feet in diameter below Fifty ninth street. The top of the tower should contain reser-
 yoir twenty feet deep, with capacity of 2,000, GOO gallons. This reservoir should be kept filled with salt water. The reservoir should be connected with a pipe system which would enable twenty eight steamers to be put on any fire below Fifty ninth street. He did not think that the city should pay for the cost of the tower and the system. The franchise for it should be obtained by company. Engineers Newton and Church, of the Department of Public Works, submitted drawings of the present aqueduct- MT. J. L. Douglass, of the Board of Fire Underwriters. said that the new aque- patronage were removed from tho question of the water supply, she committee could:get at the facts much better. The capacity of the present aqueduct was 100, ,000, ,000 gallons day. This was enough to supply plenty of water for the city. MT. Douglass then re- marked that the Forty second street reservoir should be filled with water within twenty four hours He closed by saying that Lakes Hopatcong and Greenwood, in New Jersey, could be drawn upon for supplying the city with an abundance of good water. The com mittee will meet again day at 2;30 p. m. They have only twenty days to make their investigation and they will probably ask the Legislature to give them more time.

TAX LAW TO HE TRsTEn

VERGONT's TAX LAW TO RE TESTED, Vermont has very stringent tax law
 which provides that if 8 taxpayer does not
 make correct return of his taxable property
 the assessors shah appraise his property and
 lay the tax on double the amount which they
 find it to be worth. It would naturally be
 supposed that such law would make tax
 payers careful, especially as the authorities
 have from the beginning shown a disposition
 to enforce it. But some of the taxpayers,
 including prominent and wealthy ones, have
 failed to comply with the law and trouble has
 resulted
 Among the delinquents is the Hon. Brad ley Barlow, formerly member of Congress and now living in St. Albans. In 1881 Mir.
 Barlow made out and returned to the listers an inventory of his taxable property under oath, as required by law, in which he swore to debts offsetting the entire amount of his personal properly Tn1882 the condition of his affairs had changed somewhat, and he neglected to return an inventory. The listers appraised his real estate and personal prop erty connected herewith and his bank stock. and fixing upon the amount as the value of his taxable property put into the list as the basis for assessment against him double the amount, or $4o4, $50. The whole amount of taxes for the year assessed upon his property is about $6, 800. MT. Barlow declined to pay, and few days since the collector levied upon his horses, carriages and valuable paint ings and furniture in his house. Mir. Bar low, by his attorneys, at once sued out writs 0f r6T1IaviT1 auoinCk IIa 1fH &10 the property, giving bonds with sureties to pay the taxes and costs, or return of the property if the court should eventually de eide that the taxes were legal. MT. Barlow intends to fight the taxes to the end, and will take advantage of every ascertainable flaw in the law of the assessment. The principal ground of his contention will be that und CT the law the listers had no right to double his bank stock, and that other persons, notably the nonresident stockholders of the National Car company, returned no inventories, and that their stock was not doubled in the as- thereby creating an inequality of taxation to his injury
 Mir. Barlow's attorneys claim to be very that the law is invalid and of their ability to defeat the collection of the taxes the fact that the Legislature last fall passed an act legalizing the grand list of St. Albans as basis of taxation. It will be interesting to see how MT. Barlow comes out of the contest. The decision will directly affect the taxpayers of New Hamp- shire as well as those of Vermont, for the | Vermont law has been copied in the main by | New Hampshire

An Open Letter to Professor Simeon E.
 Baldwin.
 The New Haven PdlIGdtum of Monday, the 22d inst, publishes the address you deliver. ed at the annual meeting of the North church, in which you advocate dancing, card playing, operatic and theatrical entertain ments While presume your address was particularly intended for the edifcation of the members of the excellent church with which you are identified, it's publication in full in the daily press would seem to evi- dence desire for wider circulation of your particular views. Be this as it may, feel it to be my duty, as a Christian minister, to protest against such amusements as you would have Christians indulge in. Of so much importance do consider the subject, and so detrimental to the advancement of morality and religion do I consider the dis semination of the views you advocate, espeei- ally at this time of religious interest in our city, that shall devote next Sabbath even ing to the consideration of the question, Ought Christians to engage in, or patronize, dancing, card playing, and theatrical enter tainments?
