AN INCREASED WATER SUPPLY.
Progress of the Drilling in the Two
New Artesian Wells.

Progress of the Drilling in the Two
New Artesian Wells.
"How is the work progressing on the new
wells at the water works." Supt James
Manning was asked yesterday by MORN
ING NEWS reporter. Capt. Manning re-
piled that the work is progressing favor
ably on both the wells now being drilled
One has reached depth of about 100 feet,
and the other approximates eighty feet in
depth.
Capt. Manning was asked if any long
stoppage will be required to connect the two
wells, aud he replied that it will stop the
pumps only a few hours. He says it may
not be necessary to draw from the river
while the connections are being made, but
as larger suction pipe is to be put In, it
may compel the supply to be drawn from
only seventeen of the wells.
The new wells will be cased at the same
level of the old wells, and connected on the
same general plan as the other wells are
connected with the pumping station.

ELECTRIFIED ROCK.
A New Yorker Who Has Natural Elcc-

A Now Yorker Who Has q Natural Eleo-
tric-Lght Plant.
L. A. Dixon, of Sodus, N. Y, says q
letter from Syracuse, has made the dis
covery OF wonderful ore called ''elec-
trio rock," which contains o hidden force
that puzzles and astonishes all who see
it, and expert electricians in particular.
The rock is of dark slate color and
somewhat lighter in weight than sand
stone. 1t is composed of iron, alumni
mum, calcium and other minerals, and
particles of gold are found sometimes.
Mr.. Dixon says it will generate un-
limited power and give any desired
amount OF incandescent light. For
illuminating business places and resi-
dences it would be considerably cheaper
than kerosene; in fact, after the build
ing had been wired and the batteries
prepared the cost would be merely nomi-
nal, and the light would be equal, il not
superior, to that produced by manu-
factured electricity. The making of the
any quantity that is desired. Is placed
In jars containing solution the chief
ingredients OF which are salt and water.
The circuit Is then completed and the
battery Is ready for active business.
The inventor claims that one charge Of
four hundred pounds OF rock will last
and produce light and power for at least
. year before losing its force, and that

BATHING AT TROUvILLE.

Beautiful aud Eccentric Costumes Seen nj
the French Resort.
To give an idea of the care that is be-
slowed upon bathing dress at Trou-
vile, let me describe one among many
that I saw, writes Julian Ralph in
Harper's Weekly. The wearer came out
OF her bathing machine wrapped in
cloak OF Turkey red silk. Her hat was
OF white straw, with Turkey red ribbons
and flowers. Her sandals were white,
laced with red tapes that crossed above
her ankles, and were there tied in q
bow. The silk cloak shone in the sun.
1t did not even partially reveal her fig
ure; In fact, the women in these cloaks
looked at Q distance like Bedouins. Az
this lady's feet touched the water she
raised her arms and spread them, and
the gossamer cloak fell into the hands
Of the bathing attendant Then she
stood revealed to the ooncourse Of on
lockers Glad as for spectacle on the
stage. She wore loose blouse of Tur-
key red flannel. short tight red breech-
es and red stockings. Her blouse was
opened in front by two great lapels. be-
tween which was q white shirt with red
stripes across 1t. Behind, it had great
broad sailor collar, white and banded
with red.
The extravaganza and eccentricities Of
the costumes on that beach were won
derful, and altogether they helped to
form as brilliant and gay scene as one
could we'll imagine. Some of the cloaks
were striped, some were green, some
yellow. Sometimes the suits worn be-
meath them matched the cloaks, YET
often they did not But while ths
skirts were often short, the arms were
often sleeveless, and even saw two or
three shirts that were somewhat decos-
1te; there were no costumes worn in the
water that justified the pictures COM
monty seen in the Partisan illustrated
papers. doubt whether many OF the
costumes at Trouville would startle the
hathers at Narragansett pier, except
that they were much more costly and
artistic than the bath robes worn at the
pier.

INGENIOUS APPLIANCE.

It Keeps Tab on Messengers and Performs
Other Useful Duties.
There has lately been put In success
ful operation on the floor Of the New
York Stock Exchange model electric
recorder, the function Of which is to re-
cord the time and arrival Of messengers.
Its province Of automatically recording
the time of day is but one feature of its
adaptation to other and wider uses, such
as recording the day Of the month and
year, which records are very desirable
and frequently Indispensable in trans
actions Of the stock exchange, fire and
police signals, the delivery and recep-
tion of telegraph and cable messages,
the recording of legal documents, and
generally it is valuable addition to the
Office equipment. The apparatus in
question is simply a stamp, the various
characters of which are mounted as type
wheels at the end of swinging arm.
There is an armature with an electro
magnet placed at the other end Of the
arm to which these wheels are con-
nected. The electro-magnet is acti-
ated by electric impulses controlled
by the clock, which is arranged
to close the circuit for fraction of
second at the beginning of each minute,
the result being that the type wheels
are correspondingly revolved to accord
with the indications of the clock. Two
cells of an open circuit battery supply
the energy. This apparatus has been
designed in another and more useful
form, in which the type wheels are re-
volved and the recording as we'll are
effected electrically. There is wide
slot which allows the insertion of large
sheet. The instrument is connected
with the clock in the same manner as
the one first described. By pressing the
button in front of the case the time is
stamped, thus energizing the electro
magnet, the movable arm Of which gives
the desired impression. This model
has been 80 modified as to permit the
stamping Of time on continuous paper
tape, such as is employed in the recep-
tion OF cable or automatic telegraph
messages. AS the clock is entirely in
dependent any number of stamps can
receive their time impulses from single
clock. This is especially applicable to
the issuance and reception of railroad
orders, where the entire section of the
road can be controlled by single time
wire. One of these instruments is now
in use in the Office Of one Of the Atlantic
cable companies.

A FEArHERED CLOWN.


bird In a Cage.
Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller has a very
amusing story of mischievous black
bird in Youths Companion. She says:
"a serious trouble in the blacabird' s
life with nee was that l would not let
him spatter the wallpaper with the
food and water he was always flinging
about as though that was the only use
he had for them. Behind his cage l
fastened up a sheet of stiff buff wrap
ping paper, and to tear that to bits was
the task he set himself. He was faith
full worker, l must admit. First he
hammered the paper with his stout yell
low beal1 till he picked hole in it, and
then, with the same useful bill, he
seized the edge and pulled and tugged
till he tore it.
when he could get piece off he was
happy. He took it into the cage, and
visited upon that bit his hatred of the
whole sheet. He beat it so rapidly that
it sounded like the roll of small drum;
he flung it about, he scraped it on the
floor, and never rested till it was re-
duced to scraps or dropped out of the
cage.
"When Iiput his house in order for the
day, always gave him piece of fresh
apple, wedged in between two wires,
where 1 hoped it would stay for him to
pick at; but the blackbird had other
designs upon the apple. He wanted it
to play with. Faithfully he pushed,
and pulled, and twisted till he got the
piece out, and then took it down for q
mad frolic. He flung it from side to side;
he would snatch at it, and instantly
spring up On the side of the cage and
hold on to the wires, looking scared out
of his wits, as If it had bitten him. Then
he would go,down and worry it again.
Sometimes, lifting one wing, no
would ponnce upon the bit Of apple as If
it were savage enemy and must be
destroyed, and in a second bound up on
the middle perch as though he expected
to be murdered instantly.
Through all these performances he
kept up the sweet, low singing. Every
thing he did was in jerky way, and T
never could guess what would come next.
"He appeared to rack his brain to
think of new things to do, and If every
thing else failed, he would dash his
gravel out over the carpet. have even
seen him thrust his naughty head
between the wires and drop out beak-
full Of mocking-bird food.
"After this fashion he carried on all
winter, and though did not particularly
enjoy him as bird, as clown in cage,
an entertainer for a dull hour, he was
the funniest ever saw in feathers"
