A Living Japanese salamanaer.

Gently come into possession of rare Gu
riosity-a Japar csc salamander-the gift
of friend WHO is now doing" the
orient. Accord g to the descriptive tag
which was paste d on the tin box in which
Mr.. Salamanca made his long trip, the
creature was caught in one of the fresh
water lakes of the japanese mountains
on the 4th of July last. Unfortunately
the tag does not state whether the speci.
men is a young or an old example of the
salamander family, Naturalists who
have examined It since its arrival at the
Passe, however declare that it is about
years of age.
It is exactly feet and inches IT
length, has four legs, like an alligator.
and very extensive caudal appendage.
The head is broad and fat, very ''snakyr
IN appearance; The eyes so small as to b.
hardly discernible. In color the creature
is a muddy, dark brown above, and
lighter underneath. The entire skin is
covered with warts" or excresences
like those on a toad. When pressed
upon these warts exude viscid, acrid
fluid, which is probably its only means

A Pricked Bubble.

Ambition is laudable, but like
some other virtue it may be carried
to an undue extreme. When A. A.
Mcleod succeeded to the presidency
of the Reading railroad company and
the allied coal company, the corpora
.tion, though big in assets, was bur-
dened with huge debt and over
capitalization. In fact, it was prac-
tically bankrupt and had been so for
many years. 1t would seem that to
place the vast property upon a sub
stantial financial basis would be a
sufficient task for any one man. But
Mr.. Mcleod did not think so. He
reached out for other worlds to con-
1uer before he had secured a firm
foothold in one. He must corner the
entire anthracite coal product of the
United States. To do this he made
= close combination, amounting to
practical control, with the Lehigh and
Jersey Central companies, each an
immense corporation in itself. Then
he secured control of the New York
& New England and started in quest
of the Boston & Maine and other New
England companies. In fact il
looked for time as though the vora-
cious Mcleod would soon be the un-
disputed master of the entire Atlantic
seaboard. But on Monday the bub-
BILE burst, and Mcleod was lucky to
remain as one of the receivers OF his
own bankrupt company, the Reading.
He had bitten off more than he could
chew. 1t is consoling reflection tc
AS humble persons that though one
man may appear for q time to be-
stride this narrow world like n Colos
sus, the world is, after all, not sc
narrow that it remains so bestrid'
den longer than q few months
Swollen pigmies are more numerou:
than genuine Colossi.

HENRY WATTERsoN expresses him
self upon the tariff, saying: "Oh,
the tariff will be adjusted to demo
cratic ideas and on pretty radical
lines. How can it be otherwise with
such q cabinet? Judge Gresham is
even more radically opposed to the
present tariff system than Cleveland
himself. And Senator Carlisle is
recognized as master of the ques-
ton. So is j. Sterling Morton, as
have just pointed out. Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, whose selection | would
have made myself had l the power,
and whom Mr.. Cleveland most Ger.
tainly ought to have chosen, while
perhaps not as familiar with the de-
tails as the other, is most earnest
advocate of an honest tariff and right

subject. So is Bissell. There can.
not be the slightest doubt that the
day Of tariff reform is at hand"

The tests will cover all the practical
degrees OF pressure for gravity filters
The height of the water VIII vary from
two feet To sixteen. Analvsis will be
made both before and after the tests for
all degrees Of pressure. The work will
be done under the direct supervision of
Commissioner Smith and City Engineer
Shedd and Prot. Appleton will make the
analysis for vegetable, chemical. coloring
ami psychological substances.
Notices have been sent TO all the manu-
facturers OF filters and from some of them
replies have ALREADY been received. The
Warren Filter Company. the Morrison
which combines the National and Hyatt
and others, are included. 1t is expected
that all OF ihese companies will furnish
filters free OF cost aud that the city will
only have to bear the expense Of erecting
them. They Will he constructed side by
side and tested under like conditions.
The report OF the committee recently
made to the City Council in regard TO the
pure water supply laid special stress also
on some system OF aeration. In regar
TO this point City Engineer Snedd ex-
planned this morning that for years the
water of Providence had been practically
subjected TO complete aeration. The OBJ
ject OF aerarion. said he. is TO supply the
water with sufficient oxygen TO decom-
pose the impurities in the water. Paw
tuxet water naturally contains S24 per
cent OF saturation Of air. In the process
of pumping more air is forced into the
water, completely saturaJing II. When
the water flows from the supply pipe
into the reservoir at Sockanosset there is
continuous flow of bubbles of air to
the surface of the reservoir showing that
there is more air in the water than IL
will absorb.
1t would be an easy matter to carry
this process of forcing air into the water
at the pumps il thought necessary. The
filters will lie erected as soon as possible,
and probably will be ready for operation
in few weeks. The representatives of
the Morrison-Alen Company will be here
tomorrow ana will present their plans
for their experimental filter.
City Engineer Shedd has already
planned a filter consisting simply of a 30
iuch iron pipe, II feet In height. with
gauges for determining the height, pres
sure and flow of the filtered water.
