The reason why the aquarium in old
Castle Garden has not been opened is
because its whole plan from start to
finish was wrong. More than year
of time and many thous lnds OF dollars
have been wasted. The work was
started in September, 1892 1t should
have been completed within year
aud half. But moro than two aud
half wears have been frltte red away
and the appropriation Of $500, 900
made by the Park Board is nearly
exhausted. The actual fitting up OF the

until November, at least, to see the
tanks of fishes and vegetable life. To
those who enter the bullding Mt this
time it would appear that the tanks
were ready TO he filled with water and
the fish placed in them. Ii these tanks
were filled with water and ii sight
seers were admitted, any one who
passed within twenty feet OF the glass
fronts would be in danger Of serious
injury. The glass plates are an inch
thick, but they are not strong enough
to stand the strain. Time and time
again the great pNnes have been
broken. This is due to grave fault
in construction, which could easily
have been avoided.
The large amount of money spent
for the filters in order to purify the
water taken from the bay is simply
thrown away, for the filters, in the es-
Inmates of skilled acquarists, are use
less.
There has been spent on the aqua
rum alone Sl2S, 900, and of the whole
appropriation of $500, 600 there re-
mains but 500, 900. But DR.. Bean
says he will complete the work with
this amount. He understands about
building aquariums The only one ut
the Worlds Fair cost only $50, 900.

It has been believed that electric
lamps would entirely obviate any
risk OF explosion, in case Of the break
age Of the bulb in infamma bic air.
Capt. EXler points cut the errC neolls-
ness Of this idea If the lamp breaks
In the vicinity of gunpowder and py-
roxyline, there Is no ignition, but the
the case is different If an explosive
gaseous mixture is present, SO that,
although there is less chance Of an eX-
plosiOn, the danger is not removed by
the employment OF the incandescent
lamp. 1t has been proposed TO find 4
remedy in the use Of u double bulb
with an intermediate closed space
filled with air or water The heating
OF the water would be avoided by the
use Of reservoir having double COM
lnunication with the external lecepta-
Gle, so that continuous stream could
be maintained. But this would be
clumsy. Capt. EXler's way out OF tue
difficulty Of lighting places wEt re gas
or explosive materials are present, is
to simply adjust the incandescent
lamp in glass cylinder closed ut
both ends Ivy means Of metallic cloth.
Il he current of air would freshen the
bulb. and the slight heating OF the air
passing out would not amount to any
thing. If the bulb broke, the cOmbus-
ton Of the filament would cause only
u slight internal explosion, as in
miners lamps, incapable Of transmit
ting fire outside.

NOTHING BUT FEET,

Allowed on the Sidewalks Down in
Atlanta, Ga.
They have a new ordinance in At
lanta, Ga, absolutely forbidding over
hanging signs.
The shopkeepers don't like it bit.
The grocers are inclined to sarcasm.
They have, in a quiet way, had their
little revenge and have, incidentally,
amused the public in doing so.
AS every one knows, the ordinance
is a sweeping one, providing that no
signs shall hang over the street. This
word over has been interpreted to re-
fer not alone to signs that hang across
the street, but over it. This means q
wholesale taking down Of signs.
The ordinance also prohibits the
placing of goods on the street beyond
a certain distance for display.
notice, says a writer in the Atlanta
Constitution, that some of the mer-
chants have complied with the law,
and one or two grocers have put up il
CONSPICUOUS places about their places
of business sarcastic signs concerning
the new law. One Of these, printed on
yellow piece of board in lamp-black
characters read:
'"This sidewalk for carriages"
Others read:
"See our signs in the cellar"
keep off the sidewalk
Nothing but feet allowed on this
sidewalk"

Telephones and Fire Alarms.

The efficiency Of many of the Lon
don fire brigades has been greatly pro-
NOTED by the adoption of a new sys-
tenn of loud speaking telephones and
fire alarm posts and apprenticeship
principal apparatus consists of call
point, or post, for the street and an
Indicator and reply key for the fire
station. Instead of giving the alarm
by means of the ordinary electric bell
an electric ''hooter" is used. The
alarm is given by simply breaking the
glass or opening the door Of the post,
but cannot be given either by the
earthing of the wire (for testing or
| otherWise), or by contact with other
wires. This arrangement costs much
less than the ordinary method, and
minimizes the possibility of false calls.
The effectiveness of the system is
much increased by a new method Of
placing fire stations in permanent tel
ephonic communication with the men
in charge Of fire escapes at fixed street
points on the single wire. The call to
the man in charge of the escape is
loud enough to wake him, if asleep,
| and it can be heard considerable dis
lduce from MS DOX. "A curious Illus
| tration of the diverse of this earnest
striving to secure the best results in
combining the telephone and fire sta
| ton practice is found in letter from
an Italian correspondent. In Italy they
| they despise the telephone and ana
| thematize the fire engine. The tele-
phone has never paid it's way, and the
companies give the scantiest possible
service, and pray that the government
| will buy their lines. They are too poor
to even put up the wires which newt
| ably come down upon the first fall of
snow. So the telephone is discredited,
and the people are out of patience
with the electrical innovation which
promises them so much and gives
them so little. The stone build houses
Of Italy seldom catch fire; but even if
| the fire alarm telephone service were
| perfect, the engines are seldom ready,
and they generally reach the spot
when the fire is out. The inha bitants
make no secret of the fact that they
would rather have the fire than the
| fireman, as, however light the fire may
be, by the time that official has COM
| pleted his operations the hose has eff
fected much more damage than might
| be expected from the fire.

Hcat of the Electric Iip.bt

Mr.. Tesla says we are fairly on the
way to the production OF light without
heat; but until that very desirable
efficiency Of energy is attained, we
shall probably have to make the best
of the coolest commercial light we
have, the present electric light. This
light, though relatively cool, still
throws off an amount of heat that de-
tracts from it's usefulness under many
conditions. Capt. Exler of the Aus
TRAN army has been making tests to
determine what the degree of this
heat is, and how it can be reduced. A

NEW WOMAN ON A TOUR.
CirclinE the Globe, She Meets With

Many Adventures.
This is how it began:
About nine months ago, two wealthy
Boston clubmen were discussing the
"new woman" One Of them said
there was one thing that was still be-
yond her ard that WIS TO ride around
the world on bicycle. The other
differed with him, and the result WAS
a wager of $4,000 to $4,000 that no
living woman could accomplish the
feat.
The man making the bet had certain
conditions to impose. The trip must

Of the trip, it was conceded, should be
made by Stea mer.
The new woman chosen for the eX-
pertinent was a young woman who
contributes more or less to the Boston
papers under the name Of Annie Lon
dOnderry, and under that name she
has already completed three-fourths Of
her journey, having landed at San
Francisco about two weeks ago, near
~ three months ahead Of time.
This is the more remarkable, as
when the subject was first preached
Miss Londonderry had never been on

however, for one afternoon, and on

The Cook Died HaDny.

An elderly cook, who lived for a long
time in the service of a wealthy octo-
genorian, has ended her days in Dc
culiar manner. The octogenarian, who
was single, lately died, and left her a
handsome legacy. In order to cele-
brate her accession to fortune the cook
went down to her old masters wine
cellar, selected some of the finest crus
and drank herself to death, after q
