Geary' of West Chester One of his

The singular accident occurred
while the boy was playing on the

would be 60. The proposition is
that the Wilkes Barre water compan-
les combine to secure water from the
river at a point above Campbelrs

at considerable length at a
meeting of the representatives
of the water companies, and 1t
was announced that the Crystal Spring

had entered into an agreement to
pump from the river, as above outlln-

Ledge at sufficient elevation to
furnish the necessary force. The
cost, it is estimated, will be $I5o, 900,
which will be paid pro rata by the

Minimum
Enough Food Laid in to Last the
Vessel Two Voyages.

To people who do not understand
the careful way In which every emer-
gency is looked out for on first
class passenger steamer, it may have
been matter OF some surprise that
the passengers on La Gascogne did
not run out Of provisions and suffer
from hunger before the ship made
port. Almost everyone has a general
idea that an ocean steamer IS pro-
visioned and coaled in excess of what
there is any probability Of using, but
few persons know to what casualties
OF this kind are provided for. When
La Gascogne sailed into New York
harbor she was more than nine days
overdue; that is, if she had crossed
the ocean at her usual speed, and
had turned round and recrossed it,
without making landing, see would
ordinarily have reached the other
side before she actually did reach
this one, while delayed by her broken
piston. Even taking this into con-
sideration, there is every probability
that she had provisions enough
aboard when she landed her passen-
gers to have lasted them some time
longer. A big ocean steamer, as
general rule, carries enough coal In
her bunkers to run her engines, and
enough provisions In her lockers to
feed her passengers, while crossing
twice. Here is list of the surplus
provisions which are carried by the
Cunarder Pavonia: 100 bottles of
wine, $50 Of spirits, $500 of ale and
porter, 1,900 Of assorted waters, IS
gallons of vinegar, 10 pounds of
cigars, 10 of tobacco, 230 of tea, 500
of coffee, $40 of dried fruit, 1872 of
refined -four, 2,400 of moist sugar, 10
barrels Of bread, 81 Of flour, 3 Of rice,
2 of barley, of peas, 3 of oatmeal, S
of pork, 26 cases Of canned meats,
sundry small stores and 700 tons of
coal
While there is not one voyage In a
hundred on which these provisions
will be used, the hundredth time is
vital, and on the care that is taken
in provisioning ship may depend
the lives of all the passengers and
crew. One of these great ships,
when everything is working we'll, is
the perfect idealization of every
thing that is powerful and independ-
ent; but let her engines break down,
and no half,disabled fishing smack,
staggering along under rag of
storm trysail, is more helpless. On
such ship as La Gascogne, the sail
which she carries is not more than
enough, If it is enough, to keep her
head to the wind, and the progress
which such a vessel could make IN
der sail even before the wind, would
not be fast enough to carry her pas
sengers into port before they were
all starved to death. Fortunately,
however, there is almost no break in
the machinery which cannot be re-
paired while under way; but, as was
the case with La Gascogne, it may
be impossible to repair it so as to get
any great speed out of the vessel, and
that is where the extra provisions
come in. The provisions and coal,
especially the coal, are also Of use in
giving assistance to vessels in dis

Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station ? One generator
can furnish power TO your Pumps, Centri-
tugals, Elevators, Plows, Railways and
Hosts; also furnish light and power for
a radius of from 10 to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, IL

President Alfred E. Hunt of the

several foreign Governments with
view of securing torpedo and naval

as saying that his company hopes to
supply our own Government with
aluminium for three new torpedo boats,
and he called attention to the recent
change in the legislation governing
their construction, permitting, in the
discretion of the Governments naval
officials, the use of steel or other
metal, the ''other metaP' being under

for which aluminium is especially well
adapted include angles, plates, cast

metal by our Government is rapidly
