by Prof. Davis r. Dewey. The speaker spoke
of the growth of publicity in different direc-
tions as illustrated by the census. the Amer
lean system of taxation, exhibition Of corporate
accounts and health statistics. He thought that
further extension of this system should be
made in regard to the health condition of the
population. In another direction. he said.
further data should be collected in regard TO
the demand and supply OF products.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OF GAS WORKS
An interesting paper on Municipal Owner
ship of Gas Works in the United States was
read by Prof. Edward W. Bemis of Vanderbilt
University. He said that of the nine cities that
now own aid operate their gas works in this
country one, Hamilton, Ohio. a city of 20 600
inhabitants, has begun too recently to enable
results to be given. The other eight
tame, Ohio, Henderson, Ky. and four
cities in Virginia, Richmond. Danville.
Charlottesville and Alexandria. after a fair trial
OF many years, have recently refused to enter
tain good offers from private companies to take
the works OF their hands. There is most dis
pute about Philadelphia, which began owner
ship in 1871, and most foolishly placed the en-
tire control of the works till 1885 in the hands
of a self-perpetuating body Of trustees, who,
being free from responsibility TO the
people: a primary principle Of public
came a corrupt body. The bad results finally
led to the overthrow of the trust in 1885 and
the restoration of the works to public control
Since then the city management has steadily
improved until, in 1889, the cost of over 5000
000, 900 feet Of gas, twenty candle power,
was only "A cents per 600 feet, no al
lowance being made for interest and the
taxes which private company would have to
pay. Allowing per cent interest and 2 per
cent taxes on the cost of duplicating the works
very high figures, the cost Of gas would be only
$1.02. The city buys some water gas Of a pri-
waite company, but could make it nearly as
cheaply If allowed by the legislature to raise
money for constructing the proper works.
Richmond, Va, with a>popufatiou of s.. 600
manufactures gas ut rs cents q thousand feet
An allowance Of per cent for interest and .
per cent for taxes would raise the cost TO only

The Purpose Of y Medical school.

The true purpose Of a medical school
is not to turn graduates loose upon the
world, but it is to educate young men
in the science of medicine and tit them
TO enter upon the practice of their pro.
fession. The medical profession diff
fers from the law in this. that where.
as young lawyers may safely be per-
mitted To acquire a good deal of their
education through practical experience
after being admitted 10 the bar, TO do
this in the case Of youngdoctors would
be to expose people 10 the risk Of all
sorts of malpractice. 1t is IA much
lighter matter for a man to lose his

Inventipg Ornamental Glass.

Dwellers by the sea have noticed for
years that their window panes grow
dull by the sand blown against them.
Gen. B. G. Tilghman, of Philadelphia,
about twenty years ago was the first Ia
zee how much this familiar fact
meant. He thought that if a little
sand blown against glass cuts its sur.
face, the operation could be reduced
from years to minutes if great deal
Of sand were blown against the glass
by pressure. His experiments proved
his surEilse to b. true, and now IN
hundreds of factories throughout the
country the sand blast is busy not only
cutting glass for ornamental purposes,
but shaping glass for builders and nm

A RARE PICTURE OF NAPOLEON.
Taken Nineteen Years After the Generai's
Death. When His BODY Wa Exhumed.

W. Ii. Green. Of this city. has in his
possession an exceedingly rare and
curious portrait Of Bonarare. which
was made after his body had been Ia
ken from the grave at 81. Helena la
1870. after it had been buried for nine
teen years. This IS a remarkable pic
ture, showing how perfectly the fea-
lures were preserved so many years
after death. and giving "A striking view
o. the strong lines OF his face.
The history @ the picture is also re-
narkable. tn" portrait was made by
an eminent French artist by order of
Louis Philip" directly after the body
had been eXA mcd at ~. Helena. The
orlgiual WAS " medallion about four

officer asking that the picture be sent
over to Paris to him. DIR. Isaac llsley
Cummings, Of this city, was commits
stoned by Capt. Drummond to convey
the medallion To Paris.
When DR.. Cummings arrived there
the city was again in confusion and he
could not find the owner. He there

The Devils Bridge,

A correspondent thus destroys the
old legend of the Devils Bridge IN the
Pyrenees: The popular legend about
this bridge, which spans a mountain
torrent called the Tech, near the small
town Of Ceret, was that il had been
built during one night by Satan and
his myrnidons, and the fact that the
particulars as to its construction had
never been found in any Of the local
archives gave additional strength 10
this legend. But the registrar Of a
neighboring town called Prats de
Mollo. close to the Spanish frontier,
has just uDearthed a manuscript, dated
1921, which relates how the notables
Of that town contributed ten golden
crowns Of Barcelona toward the build
ing Of the bridge at Ceret upon condi-
ION that the inhabitants Of Prats de
HOllo were exempted from paying
eoll.'"-LoDdon Times.
