AFFAIRS ~ BROOKLYN.

FOR AN INCREASED WATER SUPPLY
City Works Commissioner White has issued the
following statement about the water supply OF
Brooklyn:
We about making contract with w i.
Andrews a. &C.. who built all the driven well
stations now owned by the city. for an incrcas" Of
water supply at one or more Of them where there
the slightest prejudice to the neghboring districts.
Any supply thus obtained will become available
during September and viii also be permanent
addition to the water supply OF the city. As II Is
somewhat uncertain just how many wells can be
prontably added. this arrangement VIII be made
the basis OF cost OF materials and labor with
fifteen per cent 0j per cent? added for the con
tractors tools, experience and superintendent.
Thus stop 20 the results may
warrant. The first additions will be made AT the
Jameco Park station. where II is probable that the
wells will be sunk to depth OF 100 feet. We hope
for upward Of 100000 gallons Of added daily supply
a a cost not exceeding ten thousand $1,000 dol
lars. This is independent OF the 25ooo.00 gallons
conclusion will probably be reached within
days. The department has actually three
water problems before II:
First-In order o! time but least In enduring
importance. the supply for the next two or three
months.
Second-The % 900 900 gallons contract which will
be provision for probably three years to come.
Third-POssble sources Of supply for the next
ten twenty years
1t Is hardly necessary to say that each OF
these problems requires close study and careful
thought. All OF them arc being pushed rapidly
as consistent with thoroughness.

The Changeable Ohio.

To the artist the silvery, shrunken
Ohio, winding feebly between green
and everlasting hills, is a charming
spectacle, worthy of transfer TO canvas
and subsequent hanging in a favored
place in the home of purchaser.
But to the practical Pittsburger the
swollen, turbid, oil stained Ohio, ca
reering to the Mississippi through n
bleak landscape of snow-sprinkled hills,
is sight far more attractive than any
afforded In midsummer
For the larger Ohio bears on Its
muddy breast the deep-laden coal
boats whose contents are not more
needed by New Orleans and Memphis
than the money the coal represents Is
needed by our river operators and
shippers. These regard the Ohio as a
most lovable stream, when, after
months of picturesque idleness, it
arises in its might and boasts of
twelve feet
If our local artists wish to make a
painting of the Ohio which will be
salable to coal shipper, they must
portray the stream with that number
of feet, with the tawny name Of swir-
ling water and a procession of coal
boats beading for the sunny South. A
coal boat" 1t might be added, is one
that requires ten feet of water to float
1t, and is helpless TO reach the lower
markets on q stage of water that will
let out a coal barge. Bul-

LIFE.

Life Is rainbow In splendor uprist,
Sun counting and proud,
Ephemeral 1eetlng Il springs from the mist
And sinks In a cloud
Phantasmal, uncertnin-a cradle sun-kist,
A tear -tarnished shroudi
Joy, sorrow, love, hatred, fame, fortune
and all
Momentous we deeml
Till shadows they sleep meath oblivion q
pail.
And death rules supremel
Vain hopes that are faded beyond our recall,
Poor ghosts of n dream
All pleasures are heeting, but sorrows last
long
In undying pain,
And mingled with sobs Ia the sound OF a
song
Whose lingering refrain
Recalls the dead past where sweet dream
measures throng
Dreamed never nganl
All, life IL 30 lonely when loves day Is done
And gloaming gales greye,
Aud In the pale light Of the fast fading sun,
Think how much we give,
When even the goal of existence Is won,
To breathe and to live.

Twisted Words.

The English language Is remarkable
for the number of its words which
have been completely changed In their
significance since they first came into
use.
Sometimes comparatively short
time suffices to set n word adrtft from
its original and true meaning and to
cause people to forget what its real
significance Is.
This Is Illustrated In our word 'tum-
bier" meaning drinking glass which
sits sQuarely down upon the table with
out a foot" as in the case Of COB
let.
What a "tumbler" really is may be
inferred from gentleman's diary
written In 1S03-an extract which, by
the way, throws powerful light up
on the social customs of that day, as
well as upon the origin OF familiar
word. The entry in the diary is as
follows:
Had n new friend to dinner. Tried
my new tumbling-glasses. Very sue
cessful; all got drunk early"
These tumbling glasses, so-called tum
blers ''for short" were made with a
round or pointed bottom, 50 that they
could not be set down when they con
tained liquids without falling over and
spilling. They were made as sort
OF joke and to conduce to rapid drink
ing.
A generation sufficed to see the
change wrought in the use of this word
and the complete disappearance Of the
original significance.

Frauds in Dresden and sevres.

AS to porcelain, 1t is probable that
more than half Of the old" Dresden
china now exposed for sale Is counter
felt Most frequently the originals
have been copied, mark and ALL but in
some cases really old Dresden china
that was originally white has been
painted by an ambitious forger With
Sevres china, the more common ware
has sometimes had the whole of the
original pattern and glaze removed
and received a new ground of turquois
or some Of the royal colors, to which
painting or medallions in the old style
have been added.
In 1916 depeuner service, with por-
traits of Louis XIV. and the principal
ladies of his court, was offered to
Louis XVIII. as having belonged TO
his grandfather, Louis XIV, but on ex-
animation it was found that the prin-
cipal plateau was Of a design not in
troduced at Sevres until fifteen years
after the death of the reputed owner
OF the service. Instead of adorning
the table OF the King, the service was
relegated to the Museum at Sevres as
an interesting forgery. Spurious Pals
sy ware is almost drug in the mar
ket, and nearly every porcelain manu-
factory is now represented by pieces

inc products or having their marks

Back of the sitting-room was grand

silver, grandpa's jewelry and sundry
sums of money and important papers.
The safe itself stood In "A closet In a

Then l moved hall chair close to

1t was but slight noise, but at that
moment the chip OF the chisel stopped,

horrors-a man came from the study,
sprang towards me with both hands.

You'd tell, would ye? You'd call

"Anthony-I never did you any

kill me, Anthony. Take the money,
but don't kill me, for grandma's sake"
You'd tell on me-" said Anthony,
doggedly, Likely I'd be caught. No,
I've got to kill you"
AS he spoke he took his hands from

tiercely.

A Practical Hint to Inventors.

1t Is somewhat amusing to see how
often an inventor will pursue sub

One of the shrewdest of his class

ing hotels uptown that he had struck
something and, In fact, 1t was de-

The friend smiled and said: MY boy,
