WATERWORKS.
This all Important Issue is Res
urected and Will be Placed
Squarely Before the People.

Committee appointed by the Mayor, metat
the Office fudge Donnelly Tuesday evening
and listenedto Mr.. WilsC n ofHicksville, who
gave the committee fair idea Of wsterworks
and their great utility, cost etc. This was
done not through an elaborate speech but by
merely narrating Hicksville's experience.
Considering that Hicksville is about the size
of Napoleon we may safely use her as criter-
ion and consider what we can do. Mr.. W..
left on the $50 train and the committee ad-
journed to make its report to the council
next Monday evening, asit was so instruct
ed.
A brief summary of the knowledge gained
from Mr.. WIS. talk (as limited space will
permit us to go no further) is that her plant
cost trife over $20,0OO which amount was
met by bonding the town; the corporation
constructed and owns the plant, and every
body, even those who violently opposed
it are elated over its success and the great
convenience gained thereby; an engineer was
hired, who divided the work into it's differ
ent branches and advertised for bids. By
this mode of doing business all opportuni
ties for jobbery were squelched and the
works constructed on the lowest reasonable
figure. The water is obtained from four
wells; the motor power, two engines, and the
system, the direct pressure. The expense to
the city is $40 per month for an engin eer,
and 800 per year for supt., and clerk re-
spectfully, and cost of fuel. ..
great many details with respect to size
of mains, etc., were discussed, which will be
furnished when the question ofbonding the
town is submitted to the people.

We call attention to an article in another
column, taken from "The Insurance Ages
on the Mutual Life Ins. Co. This is the
company represented by E. R. Cowdrick,
Napoleon, and which has the largest mem
bership among our best best business men,
there being several policies held for 8, 10, %
and one for 25,000 dollars. Mr.. Cowdrick
does not claim for this company that it does
the largest business of any, or that it has
the lowest death rate or largest surplus
But he does claim that owing to economical
management, and most liberal policy con-
tract, it offers the best and cheapest insur-
ance of any life insurance company in the
world.

have a flow of mucus in the mouth,

my breath became short, and l had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. l ached
all day under the shoulder blades,

How Electricity is STORED"

The energy which a current may at any
instant be said to possess is Immediately
transformed into heat in the circuit,
which will under certain conditions pro-
duce light: into chemical energy; into
motion, which may or may not produce
sound; or into magnetic and electrotonic
conditions. The last may either be per.
IN nent or have the same cvanesccnt ex.
istence as the original current.
When electricity is employed to charge
storage battery, only that part which Is
transformed into chemical energy is
used. The rest is dissipated. The bat
terry, then, instead of being place where
electricity is laid away, is place where
chemicals are left by the current, with
the expectation that they will in turn
produce a current when called upon.
This NAV seem fine distinction, but il
is only apparently SO. For instance,
the current might be produced by dy-
na.lo turned 10y Niagara water-power.
The chemical left by it might be zinc
deposited from solution of zinc sui
phate. This might be transported, pre-
served, bought and sold. and finally be
employed by some physicist to produce
another current. Were the electricity
Itself stored in its original form, then
the imaginative reader can best tell what
would become Of it and how it must be
handled. =, Popular Science Monthly.

lite of the Shah Of Persia, is hardly more
than pigmy in size, but his authority in
the royal palace is undisputed. He has
the rank of General IN the army, keeps
an establishment that costs the Shah
nearly $3.50, 900 year, and has horses
and military band at his disposal. He
treats the royal Princes as his equals, and
the latest rumor is that he has been be-
trothed to the Shah's youngest daughter.
The boy is the son of Kurd, who
occupied humble position in the palace,
but is now a man of authority.-Chicago

balloon material, the whole so constructed

Data of the trials of three large steam
ers, showing the comparative of large

Stret;on, the eminent English engineer,
says that locomotive Of the present
type can run only the least trlfle faster
than eighty miles IN hour. A higher
speed is prevented by the resistance of

the impossibility of getting the exhaust

Gatta- Percha Is Disappearing

1t appears that there exists serious
risk Of the determination of the plant or
tree from which gutta- percha is obtained.
This gum = used In many industries,
largely in the manufacture of submarine
cables, as it is capable of sustaining its
insulating qualities when submerged
under water at great depths; in fact, the
insulation of GuttG- percha actually i'm.
proves with age when kept continually
under water. The disappearance of the
curious tree from which gutta- percha is
obtained would, therefore, be calamity
of worldwide importance, yet it would
appear from report recently made to the
French Academy of Sciences that we are
actually threatened with such a calamity.
Mr.. Serullas, French scientist, spent
three years in Malay and studied the
isonandra in all periods of its existence,
acquiring a complete knowledge of its
natural history and physiology; but he
reports that THERE'S absolutely no method
in the manner employed by the natives in
robbing the tree of its sap, and that no
effort is made to cultivate and propagate
SO valuable member of the plant world.
The natives adopt the wholly barbar-
Gus custom of cutting tree at the roots
in order to extract the gum; thus each
tree only gives one yield, and is then
dead forever. No wolder gutta- pcrcha
is rapidly getting to be worth its weight
