water and is held in the hollow of the cup,
which is pressed easily down upon the head
by spiral spring. In addition to the straps
already described, it has been decided to
hold the head back by another strap. This
is sort of harness of leather, which, when
adjusted, will cover the forehead. eyes and
chin, leaving only the nose, mouth and
portion of the cheeks exposed. It
is tightened by buckles attached to
the back OF the chair. Perfectly
steady hands might fasten all these buckles
and adjust the head aud body to the sponges

is too much of humanity, however, to ex-
pect that there will not be any fumbllng.

CAN'T PAY THE PRICE.
Select Council Objects to Increased
Rates for Natural Gas.
A NEW FUEL TO BE SOUGHT FOR.
The Sewerage Question Causes q Long
Discussion.
MEASURES PASSED BY CITY sOLoNs

Both branches of City Councils met yes
terday afternoon. The only features which
excited more than passing interest among
the municipal Legislators was a general
sewer ordinance in the lower house and the
Philadelphia Company's increased rate for
natural gas, which came up in the local
Senate.
The gas question came up on the award of
the contract to the Philadelphia Company
for fuel for pumping stations at $50. .OOO an
increase of $4,000 over last year. Mr.. T.
A. Gillespie said he had been connected
with the Philadelphia Company for five
years, but he was not with them now, and be
had no hesitancy in saying that the price
asked was cheaper than coal.
Mr.. A. C. Robertson said the furnaces
could use only gas, and the company there
fore had the city in hole, but after the con-
tract was approved he presented resolution,
which was passed, instructing the Chief of
Public Works to make an investigation of
patents for manufacturing fuel gas from
slack, and which could be used at lesser
cost than natural gas at the present rates.
Mr.. Robertson thought this matter could be
settled by the next time a contract had to be
made.
THE COURT FIXED THE PRICE.
Mr.. Robertson presented resolution,
which was adopted, authorizing the Chief
of Public Works to pay $1,720 additional
for the Weber property, which is to be
added to the Highland Reservoir Park.
Mr.. Bigelo had secured an option on the
nj Int he pcb ~
thought the price was not enough, and
placed on an additional s., ,720.
Among the new measures introduced into
this bIaDch we're ordinances granting the
use of certain streets to the Pittsburg and
Knoxville Railway Company; establishing
the position of Fire Director at salary of
$4,000; establishing the position Of Court
Officer, whose duty il will be to prepare all
criminal cases in which the city is interested
for court, at a salary of $1,000; amending
the charter ordinance by transferring the
First ward from the First to the Second
Police Magistrates district.
Mr.. McCord presented petition asking
that the seat of John r. Murphy, represent
ing the Thirty-third ward, be declared
vacant, as he had moved out of the district.
The matter was referred to a special COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Wilson, Doyle
and Miller.
THANKFULLY ACCEPTED.
A Communication was received from the
Controller announcing that the Duquesne
and the Birmingham Traction Companies
had accepted the provisions of the ordinances
recently passed for their benefit.
An agreement was read between the city
and Booth & Finn, by which the latter
lease 80 acres of land on Ruch's Hill to the
Department of Public Safety for pasture
and horse hospital purposes, on condition
that the taxes are paid.
The ordinance allowing the Sixth Street
Bridge Company to widen its approach was
amended by Mr.. Lambie. placing the mat
ter under the supervision Of the Chief of
Public Works, and the ordinance will be
reprinted,
