SCENE H..

I stood on the mountains peak and
gazed afar at the summer sky; as a
mans hand, upon the transparent
blue of the armament, I saw appear
a tiny cloud, just speck upon the
heavens. Larger and larger it be-
came. It stretched along the horizon,
and pointed upward toward the ze-
NTH, until it obscured the setting sun
and hid the western sky. Great bill
lows rolled upon its bosom Higher
and higher it rolled, broader and
broader it grew, until the entire heav-
ems we're o'ercast and all beneath
seemed but the blackness of darkness.
But / waited and listened. Then I
heard the patter Of the rain drops,
and above the peal Of the thunder
and while the lightning flashed across
its breast, I caught the sound of the
life-giving waters descending in re-
freshing streams upon the earth be-
low. I looked beneath. The face of
the cloud was still dark and mourn
full, cut and marred by the lightning's
flash. / looked above and behold,
there the golden sunlight rolled in
full Aood-tide resplendent sea Of
glory.
So man stands and looks at his God.
There he sees, by power Of the light
within, the divine light, shining Sc
brightly-the purity, the holiness, the
love, in the strength Of their divinity
SO strongly in contrast with the feeble
! lglimmer within himself that gull
yawns between and from that gull

A 800, LOSS.
Big Fire at Charlestown, Mass, Yes
terday


terday.
Boston, Dec. Fire started early
this morning in the immense coal sheds
of the Boston and Maine railroad stu
ated in the rear of the state prison at
Charlestown, and at II o'clock, nearly
three hours after the fire department
had been summoned, the flames were
burning as fiercely as ever. The first
alarm was given at about $3.50 O'Clock,
followed by a second about 10 o'clock
and a third at 1880. The third alarm
brought apparatus from nearly all
parts of the city, this preeaution being
thought necessary on account of the
proximity of the Fitchburg railroad
property the Boston and Maine round
houses, the state prison and other
buildings.
AS result of the fire no trains pass
ed in or out of the Union station on the
eastern division of. the Boston and
Maine this forenoon. 1t is estimated
that more than $1,000 tons of coal were
in the buildings This continued to
burn after the sheds were consumed.
The loss is estimated at more than 500,
600.

HYDRAULIC POWER FOR CITY
SUPPLY.

HYDRAULIC POWER FOR CITY
SUPPLY.
The distribution of hydraulic power
in London Is the biggest thing of its
kind in existence. 1t is not only
unique in the sense of being the largest
distribution of power from central sta
tions In any city in the world, but 1t is,
excluding smaller installations in other
cities, the only instance Of a power dis
tributlon which furnishes exclusively a
power supply. In other systems, viz,
gas, electricity and steam, the main in
tention is to supply light and heat, the
supply of power being only subsidiary.
Even the compressed air supply in Par
is, which is the nearest idea to the hy
draulic supply in London, is dependent
largely upon It's lighting business.
Hydraulic power in London and 9TH
er cities is also interesting in another
way, in so much that it depends not
only exclusively or mainly on the sup
ply of power alone, but that the supply
was originally intended to serve and is
in fact almost entirely used for one
special class Of business viz, that of
lifting.
The lowest rate charged for hydrau-
|. lie power in London is Is. Cd. per one
thousand gallons. The pressure is sew
en- hundred and fifty pounds per square
inch, so that each one thousand gallons
contains S,73S horse power hours of en-
ergy; is. Cd per one thousand gallons
is, therefore, equivalent to, say, I'd. per
horsepower hour. 1t is only the
largest hydraulic plants, pumping
twenty million or more gallons per
quarter, which are capable of pumping
at this cost. If to the actual pumping
expenses are added the interest and de-
probation on the capital value Of the
plant and the value Of the space occu-
pied by 1t.
The largest private pumping plants
existing in London are at the railway
goods depots, and at one of the princi-
pal and most modern of these depots,
at which over one hundred million gall
Ions per year are pumped, the pumping
cost, exclusive of interest and other
charges, Is 3d. ped one thousand gal
Ions, and the Total cost would be very
little, IL at all, below Is. Cd. per one
| thousand gallons.-E. B. Ellington in
| Casters.
