A HYDRO-ELECTR PLANT.
How the Belgians Propose to Avoid
the High Cost of Present System.

How the Belgians Propose to Avoid
the High Cost of Present System.
From the Engineering Record.
hydro-electric plant of considerable in
terest is now in course Of construction at
Antwerp Belgium. The aim of the work Is
to avoid the high cost of the continuous cur
rent wiring and the high tension of the al
ternating current, which apparently is dis
turbing to the Belgian mind. The plant
aims to overcome these alleged objections
by using water under pressure as a source
of energy, which is distributed through
street pipes to a number OF small stations.
In these stations are a number of hydraulic
motors driving dynamos which deliver a
continuous current over area of about
1,64O feet radius around each Sub-station.
The plant now building has O main station
containing two horizontal compound con-
dens!ng Sulzer engines with cylinders of
29.9 and 1873 inches diameter and IL. inches
ST. oke, running at a speed Of thirty to sew
enty-five revolutions minute They are
directly connected to the pumps, which de-
liver about sixteen and a half gallons Of
water per revolution each. under q pressure
of 7GO pounds. The water rs then piped
Il trough steel mains to the sub-stations,
about seven and half miles of these
mains being required.

LIVELY BATTLE
With a Deer That Nearly Proved
Fatal to the Hunter.

ratOA 10 the hunter.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
when / was young man." said w. L.
Maitland of Bangor, Maine, Il used to
spend good deal Of time during the winter
in hunting the deer which then abounded
in the forests near my home. / remember
one adventure l had on one of these ex-
petitions that came near putting an end to
my career as a hunter or ans thing else.
One afternoon while making my way
through the forest over the snow-covered
ground, L suddenly discovered big buck
not more than twenty yards away. 1 stop
ped short and, raising my rifle, took de-
llUerate aim and nreu. Down went the
deer though the bullet had penetrated
his brain. Standing my rifle against a
nelghboring tree, ana snatching my knife
from my belt. ran to where the deer lay,
intending TO cut his throat. Just as 1 was
reaching down to pull up his head. in order
to get a good stroke at his throat, he struck
out suddenly with one of mis- lore feet and
knocked the knife out of my hand. He was
on his feet in an instant. and the only
thing l could DO was grab him by the
antlers. The deer by this time was thor
oughly aroused. He bucked, snorted, struck
at me with his feet and tried his best to
l i'll me. l was at that time strong man.
but during the fifteen or twenty minutes
that the struggle lasted l thought more
than once that my time had come My
only hope was in being able to hold out and
keep hold Of his horns. Several times he
doubled up and made great efforts to strike
me with his hind hoofs, but 1 managed to
keep out Of their way. By and by the buck
began to weaken, and 1 myself was about
exhausted. Finally l let go one hand and
managed to get out my pocketknife, which
plunged several times into his neck, and
in that way succeeded in killing him. on
examining his head afterward I discovered
that my bullet had struck the root of one
Of his antlers and temporarily stunned

Five Trains of 30 Cars Each to Carr,

1t to New York.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Preliminary work incident to taking down
the Ferris wheel on the Midway Plaisance
has begun. This consists of placing false
work. engines and hosting apparatus. 1t
will take ten weeks to take the wheel to
pieces. The car that was used for carrying
the krupp gun will be used for the seventy
ton axle. The material will be taken in
five trains of thirty cars each TO New York
city. There are 5000 tons of metal in the
wheel and 100000 feet of timber is needed
for the false work.
Taking the wheel down will be more dan
gerous than putting it up. Only one life
was lost i'll erecting the big attraction. The
expense CT taking down, moving and re-
building the wheel will be $ijOUoO. In New
York it Is to ne placed at 3Ith street and
Broadway. Ola Vienna will DE produced

Intlia's Vampire Bat
From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
al ha ", alwaNs desnlSna la >, 60

From the ST. Louis GlODe-DemOcrat.
Il have always desplsed bats" said Eu-
gene L. Bishop. of Cleveland. at the Lindel,
last evening. "and it always sends a shudder
over me whenever one Of the hideous crea-
lures approaches me. The bats of this
country however. are not to be dreaded in
comparison to those of the vampire species
which abound in India. Just imagine a
big mouse with horn on his head like a
rhinoceros. furnish him with pair of dem
cn-Iike wings and you have a very good
picture of this latter kind The natives
dread the vampire bat on account Of his
blood-sucking propensity.
In the sultry nights he fans the heated
sleeper with his wings while his needle like
teeth are being inserted into the veins of
his victim, Quenching his thirst for blood
with such gentleness that it Is only b.
some fortunate chance that he Is discovered
before the mischief is done. 1t is a well
authenticated fact that If an individual is
Cnce bled by a vampire he is invariDly
chosen. in preference to all others equally
exopsed for a subsequent attack, and even
II he were to move ten or twenty miles
away no immunity is gained thereby as
the bat is sure to follow him and keep up
his bloodthirsty attack until his victim
succuinbs or The animal is discovered and
killed. Cattle and horses, from being more
exposed are more frequently chosen as the
subjects Of attack by these loathsome crea-
