FOR A MAP.
Ed. +. Stable, who is engaged in max
ing a new map of the city. requested the
city council to instruct the engineer to
furnish him with certain data. So or
dered.
APPROVED.
Mayor Riner announced that he had
approved the appropriation and Minueha-
ha park ordinances.
VETO.
His honor returned to the council with
out approval the now famous ordinance
creating four new city officers.
Il do this for several reasons" he
said. Section /, creating the Office and
defining the duties of superintendent of
the water works, conflicts with the ord
inances stating the duties of the marshal
and city civil engineer.
las a whole the ordinance does not
reach far enough in some respects, and
oversteps the proper bounds in others.
Il think that the engineer Of the pump
house should be appointed and be
required to furnish a heavy bond.
This is a most responsible and important
position. If the engineer were absent
from his post at the time of the sounding
of a fire alarm the damage resulting from
his neglect might be enormous.

should be in the employ of the city at all
times. The condition of public thorough
fares should receive the constant attention
of a competent man, for crossings and
sidewalks need repair at all times"
Mr.. Altman, who has fought this ordi-
nance vigorously from the moment of its
introduction, was on a broad grin during
the mayors speech, and the other alder
men seemed rather pleased. Mr.. Roberts
announced his approval of the veto. No
official action was taken, Mr.. Hunt sug-
costing hat it be deferred until Mr. jerks,
who introduced the ordinance, was pres
ent. 1t is doubtful if the document ever
again sees the light Of day. Thisis Mayor
Riner's first veto.

Ever since the birth of her daughter

After all supplies from outside had
been cut off from Paris by the German
army (22d September, 1870 it was de-
termincd to sacrifice the inmates OF the
Geological Gardens (tho Jardin DIES
Plantes). The animals were slaughtered
and eaten. Most OF these creatures were
sold TO an English butcher named
Deboos, who had shop in the Avenue

siege with all possible and previously
impossible kinds OF meat. killing the
elephants, Castor and Pollux, presented
some difficulty. The former was fired
at three times, and was finally dispatched
by means of a steel bullet from Chase

brought Pollux to the ground The
flesh of the elephant was sold at about $40
a kilo. Trunk and feet were regarded as
particular dclicacics by the gourmets.
The same butcher sold the flesh of n
young wolf at about SIS @ kilo. The
flesh of the cassowaries was bought by
Baron Roihschild, one of the best
customers of Mr.. Deboos. Almost all
tie parrots were consumed by Mr..

The Dynalno.

The dynamo, stripped of its technical
details, is machine for transforming
energy. 1t converts mechanical power
into that phrase or manifestation of
energy which we call electricity. Me.
chanicai power is cheap and the dynamo
made electricity cheap. The moment
electricity was reduced in cost the cleo.
tr'c motor assumed commercial value.
1t ceased to be mere laboratory appar-
atus and became practical machine for
converting electrical energy back into
mechanical power. It is not easy to
comprehend the immense Importance of
TINS latest evolution of machines and all
that it means when we say that we have
now joined the steam engine, the dyna.
mo and the motor in one. 1t is as great

steam engine itself. 1t is not necessary
mere to enter into the study of the cleo.
tric motor as machine. The point to
consider is the position OF the electric
motor as transformer of energy and its
place IN the arts of business, transporta.

Whaling on Horseback.

Several years ago student who was

to spcrd the summer, because he knew
that the animals were often caught there.
Here is his description of very strange
and exciting scene:
The tide was dead low, and had left o
big sandy flat almost bare, on which the
sea beat furiously, and with IL roar that
was deafening, but inside the bar was o

lake about half mile wide and from
three to four feet deep. This was com.

back like ourselves.
1t was school of whales and black
fish. In some way they had been trapped
inside of the bar and when the tide went
out they were at the mercy of the whal.
ers on horseback. Every one was greatly
exc. ted. The horses were urged into the
water, while their riders, armed with
harpoons. lanccs, boat hooks or any other
weapon that happened to be at hand,
were endeavoring to capture rs many Of
the monsters rs possible.
In we plunged, the horses at first snort.
ing with terror, but, once in the water,
they seemed to share the general excite.
ment and plunged madly after the ex.
cited sca-hunters. Here and there were
blackfish that had been wounded and
their tails were beating the water with
terrific force: others were tearing up and
down with lightning speed. Soon one
OF the horses was fairly lifted from its
feet by one of the struggling fish and
thrown sprawling into the water. A
roar of laughter greeted the rider as he
rose from the water
The men kept up an inccssant yelling
and splashing, and so gradually forced
the monsters up the creek, if so it could
could be called. The great creatures
seemed to know that they were running
into still more fatal trap, and they made
great efforts to break through the line of
horses and men. The appearance of a
great black animal rushing at you,
Laundering along, beating the water
with blows powerful enough to kill horse
or man, gave strong favor of danger to
the adventure.
For an hour this was kept up. until
