were not justified in trying to make money
for the government out of the water works.
The suit decided by Judge Bradley was that
OF Mrs. Martha w. Goddard against the Com
missioners for n mandamus to compel them
to turn on the water at No. 800 Eighth street
northwest. She says in the bill that the
house was occupied prior TO July /, 1892. by
one Gallant, When he vacated the house he
left. WITHOUT her knowledge, an unpaid water
bill. :.
WOULDN'T TURN on THE WATER.
The house continued vacant until last No
vember, whenlshe obtained tenant through
Thomas e. Waggaman. He sent Charles
Thornton the plumber. TO put the house in
readiness, but the water department refused
to have the water turned on It'll the unpaid
bill was settled. Pay for the current year
was formally offered, and still the use OF
water was refused.
Mrs. Goddard's s counsel claimed that the
Commissioners should have turned off the
water on August ]. 1892, as they announce
they are under a mandatory law Obliged to
do. and that certainly no claim could right
fully be made for use OF water when .he
house was vacant and no water was used.
For the Commissioners Attorney Thomas
argued that it would be iuconvenient and en-
toll additional expense to attempt to turn off
water from all deinqueDts on August l.
Judge Bradley said tie Commissioners had
no right to refuse TO turn on water, 10 collect
the unpaid bill. or impose any condition
upon Mrs. Goddard except that she pay the
actual expense OF turning on the water. He
hold, however, that under existing laws
when water is cut of within thirty days from
July the - penalty and Incidental expenses
are enforceable. The mandamus was Or
dered to issue in Mrs. Goddard's favor
The Commissioners will probably carry the
case to the court OF appeals.

That insects do not see well. esl eci

ed by A Mallack from observation and
calculation. Their composite eye, how
