Underground Berlin.

All telegraph, telephone and electric
lightning wiresin Berlin are now under
ground. A popular German magazine
furnishes some details of the under
ground plant of the city. The gas sup
ply of Berlin furnishes light for $4,000
street lamps and 100000 private burn
ers, and although gas lighting was first
introduced in that city in 1862, it has
been steadily improved, meeting the in
creased demand and furnishing power
for a great many small industries, so
that the use of electric lighting has
not diminished the production of gas.
The pipes are laid under the sidewalks,
and little Inconvenience is caused ordi-
nary street traffic for repairs or extern
sions. The water supply was intro
duced in 1854 by private company,
but since 1878 it has been owned and
managed by the city. Twenty-three
great reservoirs supply the city by
means of enormous pumps, though a
we'll devised system of pipes, and H.
900 water meters measure the supply
for as many customers, while a com
plete system of filtering the water has
recently been successfully introduced.
A complete system of underground
drainage, devised by the Chief Engi-
neer of Berlin, recognized authority
in hygiene, Hoblecht, begun in 1878,
has been gradually introduced, provld-
ing canals underground of solid mason
ry, and supplementary system of
earthenware pipes, through which all
city wastage is carried off to great
fields, where the drainage is recovered
and utilized. Every house in Berlin is
connected with this underground drain
age by an approved system of pipes,
and the rainwater from the roofs and
streets is also carried off through it.
Every house, too, must have its water
supply, and this is also regulated by
law, with careful consideration of the
needs of the inhabitants. twenty-five
steam engines, with 3l60 horse power,
in five stations, scattered throughout
the oity supply the power for forcing
all the waste of the million of people
that inhabit Berlin ont to q distant
point. The cost of the city gas works
in Berlin amounts in the aggregate
to seven millions of dollars, of the water
works to eight millions, and of drain
age to eight millions, and of course the
great proportion of this large capital
of over twenty millions of dollars in,
vested in the work under ground, anG
yet it is not complete. The city of Ber
lin has recently contracted with the
German Edison Electric Light Com
pany for thorough system of under
ground wires, by which every stree
can be lit, and every house, too, if tn,
owner chooses to introduce it. Wate

Freaks of Watches.

Watches are queer things. They pos
sess some unaccountable peculiarities.
For instance, some time about the be-
ginning at last summer, when there
had been a succession of fine displays
of aurora boreais, it was estimated
that in single night in the City Of
New York the mainsprings of no less
than 5000 watches broke. This esti-
mate is based on actual inquiries. Fine,
sensitive watches are particularly liable
to be affected by electrical atmospheric
disturbances. During the months of
June, July and August, when these
phenomena and are most frequent,
there are more mainsprings broken than
during all the remaining months of the
year. They break in variety of ways,
sometimes swapping into as many as
twenty-seven pieces. 1t is fact that
since the introduction of the electric
light has become SO general a large
number of watches, some of them very
fine ones, have become magnetized.
While in this condition they are useless
as timekeepers. This defect used to be
incurable, and because of it thousands
of watches have been thrown away
after much money has been spent on
them in vain attempts to persuade them
TO keep good time.

The Canals of Amsterdam.

The canals are an unmitigated nui-
sance. They may be all very well in
the winter, if the frost be hard enough
to freeze them, but as soon as the
weather begins to grow warm they
give an odor like that which the Scrip
lures tells us are emitted by the deeds
of the wicked They cut the city in
all directions, and are of course only to
be crossed at regular intervals by the
aid of bridges so that the pedestrian
wanting to get from one side of the
street to the other is liable to be sent
POO yards out of his way before he can
do so. AT night, in a dark street, they
are to be approached warily, for false
step or a stumble against the stone pill
lars to which the boats and barges are
moored would be apt to send one head
foremost into the water. But the
quaint crafts that ply their sluggish
waters have a character and interest of
their own, and the mingling of town
life with the life of the river is curious
enough in the streets where the canals
are found 1IaSIeyS Magazine.

CrueIty t0 The Insane.

A Philadelphia special says: The ex.
pOsures recently made regarding the ILL
Treatment OF insane people in this State are
bringing other cases to light. 1t Is said
that another case OF cruelty was discovered
about three weeks ago in the Berks
County almshouse by Mr.. NJ. II. Dickin-
son, Major Ancona, and DR.. Diler Luther.
The victim was quite young man, who
was confined in a cell with ball weighing
some fifty pounds tied TO one leg. Major
Ancona recognized him As the sen OF
prominent neighbor Of his who had been
sent to the asylum a. a punishment for
waywardness rather than mental ALBERTA
ton. Major Ancona Immediately ordered
the removal OF the chain and ball, under
threats Of exposure and prosecution. The
plea vas set up that the ball had been tied
to the man to prevent his escape from his
cell. II was during this visit OF the three
gentlemen referred 70 that they insisted
upon the removal OF the insane patients In
the Berks County almshouse from among
the sane. the negligence OF which resulted
a few days after in the murder OF a pauper

Turned TO Death I'm Her Own House.

A Cobleskill IN. " telegram says: The
little hamlet Of summit, in the mountains
Of Schoharie county, Is conyulsed with a
shocking sensation. On Saturday night
the house OF Mrs. Christina Ham, the relict
OF three departed husbands. was nearly
burned to the ground. The house was
three miles from the village, and assistance
was not promptly at hand. When the
} neighbors arrived they found the charred
body OF the woman in the ruins, burned
beyond recognition. Mrs. Ham, who was
a misery old woman, sold some property
for 800 on Saturday and put the money IN
tin-box. The peighbors discovered the
box rifled in the yard. Suspicious OF foul
play were aroused. and Monday District
Attorney Hitler commenced an investiga-
ton. stephen Ham, a rough-looking
character, was the principal witness. He
was agtated and could not meet the gaze
OF the spectators. 1t appears that he was
early at the fire, but did nothing to stop it,,
and would not allow his son to do any
thing. A foul murder was undoubtedly
committed, and 1t will be thoroughly in
yCstigated.
