Other Council Committees.
The Council committee on FIRE de-
partment, atlts meeting last night, ac-
copied tho new Ahren's engine, and
passed resolution, recommending
Council to pay the price, $3.50.
The American Fire Engine Company,
through Mr.. Chris Ahrens, offered to
allow the city 5000 for the old Atlantic
engine, which Is in the company's
shops awaiting repairs. Allowing for
the old engine, new engine, just like
the one recently bought, will cost s, $50
cash an Ahrens engine with tubular
boiler, S, 100 cash, and q Silsby engine
$1,000. AS Mr.. Ahrens proved to the
committee, that It would not pay to re-
pair the old Atlantic, 1t was decided to
ask Council to buy another new Ahreris
engine, a duplicate Of the recent pur-
chase.
The committee also decided to pur-
chase fourteen eight-dollar iron bed
steads, with mattresses and bed cloth
ing.
The Island hose firemen having
agreed to erect tower for drying hose,
ifthe COMMITTEES would buy the mate
rial, It was decided 70 allow $50 for the
purpose. William Dixon, pipemarl OF
the Eighth ward hose house, was made
engineer, and the present engineer was
made the pipeman.
The committee on scales award ed the
contract for moving the Eof street
scales, which are near the city build
ing, to Mr.. Friehertshauser.
The committee on railroads discussed
the request made Of council by the
board Of county commissioners, TO COM
pei the Terminal Company to put up
safety gates at the point where the rail-
road crosses the county road. Mr..
Taussig, the superintendent, was
present, and on his promise that a
flagman would be stationed at the
crossing at train time, and that bells
would Bernng and whistles blown, 1t
was tacitly agreed upon that the com-
pany would NOT be required to put up
gates at present.

Many are the ways taken to pass the ele-
waited railroad ticket chopper ind leave no
ticket for him to chop. There is "a small
italian boy somewhere In this town who
can give almost any one points on this
business He rushed up the stairs ut the
Park place station u few days ago, in close
pursuit of negro youth. The negro had
just dropped his ticket in the box when
the Italian reached the head of the stairs
He tried to get out of sight, but the Italian
lad his eyes on him.
''Hi, there, you nigl" he shouted. "whata
Cor you cheata me?
"What's he done2" asked the sympathetic
chopper
'Craps," briefly responded the Italian,
"an' now he runnin' away witha all me
mum. | 1ixa heem you letta me in"
'Go ahead" said the chopper, scenting
sport.
The Italian shot after the negro, and
much loud talk ensued, during which the
chopper kept close watch on the two, and
three trains went by.
"Comel hurry up there" at length called
out the chopper; ''get your money or slug
him and get out" Then his attention was
attracted to the other end of the platform,
a train came up the same instant, the
italian and the negro stopped their wrang-
hing, walked quietly but quickly aboard,
and sat down side by side. One who had
watched the proceeding from the begin
ming took a seat opposite.
IL doa that up neata, ha2" remarked the
Italian.

solemnly.-New York Times.

And So They Wore Married.

A bright sun and n pleasant afternoon
seemed to halo the happy occasion, and in
its refulgence to forecast the happiness Of
a union of two young hearts that had been
devoted from youth and young girlhood
through the years to the full maturity Of
young manhood and womanhood, and at
hast so auspiciously brought together under
the holy sanction Of Gods ordinance to
beat as one.
On the very threshold of their lives they
start together along the journey,o of exist
ence hand in hand, heart to heart, full OF
that hope and JOY which aureoles the vistas
that stretch out before them, and give
promise of so much Of that brightness that
pleases and gives zest to life.
After the ceremony which made them
one wedding dinner awaited them, and
in that feast Of good things they read an
earnest, it is hoped, of the largess fate
which kindly hand has in store for them
through all their years to come, and with
the blessings of those they love and who
love them. 1t is the sincere hope Of all
their many friends that no shadow may
ever fall upon their lives, and only fra
grant flowers bloom along their pathway.

Tacts on Mist.

An investigation into the frequency OF
mist by DR. Cremser, of Berlin, has proved
somewhat unsuccessful on account Of lack
of recorded observations. He finds, how
ever, that the maximum amount Of mist
except at such stations as those on the
coast Of the North sea, on islands and on
mOuntains-occurs in the months Of No
vember and December. About 90 per cent,
of the years mist, rs a rule, falls in autumn
and winter, 2Oper cent. in spring and 10 per
cent. in summer Mountain stations have
the greatest number Of misty days. In
winter mist is most frequent in the morn
ing, and in summer occurs only in the
morning Traveller.

Plural Names OF Eaible Flsh.

A few days ago was asked by foreign
Or, why do you say two herrings' and
two soles' and not two Gods and two sal
mons?" / do not think my answer was
very satisfactory. but the question suggest
cd the thought that there are several cases
in which it would be difficult to say wheth-
CIR there is anything like consensus of
opinion us to whether plural form of the
name of fish is admissible. We all speak
of soles, herrings, sprats, lampreys and an
chovies; the singular form never, believe,
doing service for the plural. No one,
think, says mackerels, Gods, salmons,
trouts, Dreams, shads, carps, places,
BASES, barbels. Sturgeon, perch, mullet,
pike, turbot, funny and skate have not I'M
usually the plural form in 8.
Fishermen and fisbmongers are inclined
to avoid the plural form in some instances
where it is employed by the majority of
educated people. In some cases there is
considerable uncertainty-this | have as
certained by of a fair number of
tests; among them are carps, shads,
tenches. Compilers of English grammars,
so far MS my experience goes, in treating of
plural forms of nouns make no note of the
names of fish which do not vary in the
plural. Notes and Queries.

onoor Icelnn1ic I;elIofs.

The orthodox Icelander believes that the
earth has an opening through it from pole
to pole-in other words, that it is the ex-
act counterpart of gigantic bead. Ac-
cordng to their idea all waters which flow
to the north are drawn ththerward by 4
suction created by the oceans tumbling
downward through the hollow, which they
firmly believe exists Their authority for
the curious belief is the "Utama Saga" a
semisacred work written carly in the
Fourteenth century
If the ancient volume is to be relied
upon, one Bjorn Liefson, a fisherman who
was driven northward by fierce gale
about the year 1891, is the only human be
ing who has ever seen the spot where the
waters of all oceans plunge downward
and are not seen again until they have
passed entirely through the earth and
again appear bubblng and frothing like a
mammoth spring at the south pole.-Chi-

porting parliamentary debates Once.
when Dr. Iawkesworth read to him n
poem which he intended to publish, and
asked his opinion of it: "Why, sir" said
johnson, Il cannot well determine on first
hearing. Read it again" IIawkesworth
complied. The next morning the subject
of the poem being resumed, Johnson said
he had but one objection to it-thGt he
doubted ita originality, and to prove his
statement repeated the whole poem, with
the exception Of few lines, which 60
alarmed lIawkcsworth that he declared
he would never again read anything of his

There is no place in this country where
one can get so good an idea of all kinds of
boats rs can he obtained in the National
museum. Here one sees boats of bark,
boats made out of the skins of animals, with
bone and bamboo ribs; dugouts, smooth
bottom, cl:nker built. fat, sharp and per

Life on the Mississippi" as Mark Twain
and others saw it.
In strong contrast to the nrklike Missis-
sippian are the full rugged and polished
ocean ships, the yachts and beautiful mod
els of warships and others. These claim
the attention of thousands Ct visitors; but
there is more real interest shown in q small
corner where bust of Robert Fulton looks
down upon things which taxed the inven-
tive genius of men who inaugurated the
reign of steam. Here, with coat of black
paint upon it to check the tooth of time,
which has gnawed it almost through, is "A
tubular boiler. This boiler was patenteS
by John Stevens in the United States in
1903 and in England in 1905.
In his English patent specification Mr..
Stevens-beginning with, Whereas, His

Third, by his letters patent bearing date at
Westminster the thirty-first day of May,
in the forty-fifth year of his reign"-says,

number of holes are perforated, into each
OF which holes is fixed one end of copper
tube of about an inch diameter and tive
feet long, and the other end of this tube
inserted in like manner into q similar piece
of brass, the tubes, to insure their tight
ness, to be cast in the plates. These plates

by q strong cap of cast iron or brass, so us
to leave o space of an inch or two between
the plates or ends of the pipes and the cast
iron cap at each end; the caps at each end
are to be fastened by screw bolts passing
through them into the plates. Tho neces1
sary supply of water is TO be injected ~
means of forcing pump into the cap at
one end, and through Il tube inserted into
the cap at the other end the steam is to
be conveyed to the cylinder of tho steam

manner, horizontally or perpendicularly.
