Tho ELECTRIC Light Plant.

Some time in Decem Der it was stated
in these columns that the council of Sa-
lem would, after the 18th of January,
dispense with the services of Elec trio
ian Hill, and after the first Of February
with Police Officer B,ansford, who also
filled the responsible position OF super
intendent of tho water works. Their
places were to be filled by T. L. Pickle,
who had held similar positions in the
town of Abingdon. According to one Of
the council, when Mr.. Pickle came
there would be boom in the matter OF
incandescent lights which would be
taken by the people, and nearly all the
water works plumbing work would BIO
done by this accomplished gentleman,
who had the highest recommended )ns
as to his ability and who was to fill the
places OF two or three ordinary men.
On January Is Mr.. Pickle took charge
OF the Salem electric light plant, which
is the Thompson Houston system,
whereas that in Abingdon is not.
Some of the members of the
council rather blamed Mr.. Hill,
the retiring uperintendent because he
would not explain to his successor all
the details of the Thompson-Ho custom
system, which had cost him many year
to learn. Anyhow, Mr.. Pickle took
charge OF the light plant, but at the
first meeting of the council in February
officer Bransford was continued as SUI
perintendent Of the water works. and
most fortunately, for now it transpires
that Mr.. Pickle has resigned on account
of illness in his family, and finding that
there was just a little too much work
for one man. The present council is q
good one. but itappears that in the mat.
ter OF economy they have overstepped
the mark in this instance, and will
realize sooner or later that you cannot
find one man who is competent to prop
erly attend to the duties of two or three

A GREAT SHIPBULDING FIRM t
is remarkable fact that nearly all orr
knowledge of the modern conditions OF
naval warfare has been derived from
vessels designed and built by Laird
Bros. of Birkenhead Thus the Ala
bama demonstrated what a COMPARE
lively fast steam cruiser could accom-
plish against purely merchant vessels
aud also how unable these so-called
arm cd merchant cruisers are TO cope
with warship. The Huascar and her
history are too familiar to our readers
to need repetition. II. N. S. Rattle
snake, the first sea-going torpedo ship
which could keep the sea aud be relied
upon to be in perfect order; the CHILEAN
torpedo catchers Almirante Condell
and Almirante Lynch, both of which
took part in one of the most sanguinary
wars OF the century, and which demon
strated what could be practically ac
complished by resolute foe with fast
torpedo ship the Argentine armored
baIticships Libertad and Independence,
which have been described as the two
most remarkable war vessels afioat
these and many other warships are
entirely the design of Mr.. Henry Laird.
In the various types of merchant
ships he was no less successful, but
there was one type which tho Lairds
would never touch and that was the
"ocean tramp" As instances of the
highest class of ocean mail steamships,
the vessels of the National Line in their
day were among the finest afloat, while
among more modern mail steamships
the Columbia holds front rank in the
Atlantic Engineer.
