it has been possible to do this approx
mately by means of pipes. This plan an

frost nor leakage, either Of which may make
the indicating apparatus imperative or

all uncertainty as to the transmission OF
intelligence, on which such serious issues
often depend in the conservation OF large
bodies of water, can now be eliminated
Electricity is now recognized as the

it has been utilized is an appar-
atus consisting of a transmitter and a
receiver, or indicator, of which the former
is at the reservoir, and the latter at the
pumping station, or engineers office. The
receiver can be duplicated, so as to give
information at any mum Der OF places sim

freedom from oscillation. 1t consists of a
float counterpoised by a weight to which

pulley. This pulley is keyed on shaft

says: For some months Valentine
Weissman has been jealous over his
wife and has had frequent quarrels
with her because of his suspicious that
she was intimate with other men. Her
brothers spent the evening with them
and after they had gone he showed
chat he was jealous even of them.
Mrs. Weissman was nursing her &
months old babe, preparatory to put
ting it to bed. Weissman partially dis
robed and went into the room where
his wife was and told her he was going
to kill her. He snatchcd the baby fl ON

Mr.. Cleveland gaid to Have Decided ON .

WASHINGTON, June 5.-There is no
longer any reasonable doubt but that
the president has fully determined to
ask Attorney General Olney to accept
the state department portfolio. While
this is an undoubted fact, it is also GER
tain that the president has not even
intimated to Mr.. Olney that this was
his purpose. To other members of his
cabinet, however, it is learned that he
has stated in substance that he should
ask Mr.. Olney to accept the place, and
that he was delaying the public an
nouncement in order that he might at
the same time name a successor to Mr..
Olney as attorney general. Persons in
position to know what the presidents s
purposes are anticipate an early an
nouncement of MIR. Olney's appoint
ment, and probably that of his sue
cessor. 1t is regarded as quite likely
that Senator Gray's visit to Washing
ton may have been in response to a
message from the president and it is
possible he may have been offered the
attorney seneralship or consulted
thereon.

A Fifteen-Inoh Gun Exploded ny Emmon-
site at Sandy Hook.
WASHINGTON, June GA report has
been received at the war department of
the recent trial, and by the board of
ordnance and Notifications, of emmon-
site at Sandy Hook, which resulted in
the explosion of 15-inch gun. Sue
cessful tests have been made of en-
monsito fired in shells from 7-inch up
to 12-inch in slow firing guns and NOR
tars. As much as 80 pounds of en-
monsite have been used in mortars.
The size of the guns and the charges
have been increased in order to see
how large charge could be fired. A
15.inch smooth bore was rified and
steel shell made to fit with a capacity
of 220 pounds of emmonsite. On firing
the shell burst in the bore and and de-
stroyed the gun. 1t is said that it
seems to be safe to use this explosive in
smaller quantities, and tests will be
continued to see how large charge
can be used. Emmonsite is not so dam
gerous or so high an explosive as dyna-
mite or blasting gelatine, but more so
than powder or guncotton.
