10 EXTEHD The CONDUITS
Application of the United States
Electric Lighting Company.
Wants Permission TO Run It's Con.
duits Through the Streets to
The Northern Boundary.

TIE United States Electric Lighting Con-
pany yesterday made formal application
FOR permission to complete its FouFteentii
street conduit to the northern boundary
The Commissioners held a board meeting
to talk tie matter over with Capt. Thomas
late i'll the efternoon. The only state
Incnt that could be secured after the meet
ing was that the petition will lie taken
under consideration.
This proposition Of the United States
Company was expected 10y people inter
esteG in the matter when permission was
granted to lay the Ninth street conduit, soma
weeks ago.
There are several OF these northbund
Conduits owned by the company, which DO
rot eacn to Mount Pleasant and the other
northern suburbs. They are on nearly all
the streets from Ninth to Connecticut ave
rue.
WheE the permit was asked to complete
the Ninth street conduit a stubborn fight
was made against it by the Potomac Com
pany, which has access to the suburbs.
1t was shown by Capt. Thomas and the
Other attorneysfor the United States people
however, that the law gave them sne right
to the conduit, and the permission was
given
The Fourteenth street conduit IS partly
constructed The company desires TO make
1t continuous. There is section to be
laid from the plant south OF Pennsylvania
avenue to New York avenue, and another
SectiuC from street to the Boundary
The case is almost identical with he
Ninth street case. The Commissioners hesI
tate to grant the permit Immediately how
ever, as Congress VIII soon be in sessin
end the people here who made the law.
The Commissioners will consult with .pne
or two # the Senators before allowing
the company to proceed.

ren.,iile Swim.

An interesting story OF wonderful
endurance in swimming comes from
Hawaii. Three men, one Hawaiian
and two South Sea Island men, started
in a small boat. under sail, with load
of taro, from Lellaalaea to Lahaina.
When about ten miles from laud they
were upset in sudden squall and were
unable to right their boat. At length
one of the South Sea islanders left
the overturned boat and struck out
boldly for shore, hoping 70 reach il
by swim ming, His hopes we're real
lied, although the sea was rough aud
swarmed with sharks. He reached
land but little exhausted and, procur-
ing whale boat aud assistance in
rowing. started for the rescue of his
companions. He readily found them,
assisted IN righting their boat aud
towed it to shore. When the whale
boat and its tow neared the shore at
Lahaina, the beach was lined with n
throng of men, women aud children,
who received the party with enthusi-
asm.

To Exterminatc Insects.

Cleanliness is the best safeguard
against insects, fresh air, soap and
water being all powerful, if no scrap
or refuse be left to decay unnoticed
Floor and shelves of pantries should
be wiped with damp cloth daily
The outside of all utensils kept per-
fectly clean, the slightest carelessness
i'll this particular being sufficient to
bring n whole army of pests.
Covered utensils not in daily use
should have their covers left slightly
aiar to admit air and prevent mustiness,
and ofttimes rust.
The refrigerator should be kept
near n window, so that it may be fire.
quently flooded with air and light. In
no place is more apparent the house
wife's thrift, painstaking and untiring
energy.
Camphor will prevent the ravages of
mice. For waterbugs fill cracks aud
crevices with paste made of two
tablespoons of plaster of paris, one
teaspoon of sugar and one tablespoon
of green tea.
To guard against buffalo bugs tho
floors should he wiped with water in
which spirits of turpentine have been
mixed-to large pailful of hot water
add n pint of turpentine. This is n
perfect preventive against this pest, SO
much dreaded by the best housekeep-
ers, and is well worth trying by those
whose closets and pantries have been
infested by these dreadful vermin.

IabOr-Saving Justice.

"The administration Of Justice in
Mexico has certain phases which might
startle those who are accustomed to
the laws delays in this country" re-
marked Chicagoan the other day who
has spent the last three years in the
sister republic.
"There is no unnecessary DELAY nj
any stage of the game. If there is no
doubt about the prisoners guilt tech
nlcaIlties were never allowed to in
tertere with his prompt punishment,
And very often the Mexican authori-
tlei manage to save the expense of a
trial. Whenever notorious desper-
ado, for instance, is cfp,ured he is
turned over to couple of rurales to
be transferred to another Jail at some
little distance. On the way the pris
oner always tries to escape at least
that is the report made by the guards.
1t Is unnecessary TO add that no
prisoner ever did escape under such
circumstances or that no prisoner ever
could do so. The guards simply re-
port that their man tired give them
the slip and that they felt compelled
to riddle him with bullets 70 prevent
his escape. This dispenses with a
'.'s1d legal execution. No in
vesti9ation ever is made it is strictly
legal in Mexico to shoot down IN 'es-
ca ping prisoner. 1t is a labor saving
device, that's all, but it is as effective
and as expeditions as it is economical

Profit. 500 to 500 Per Cent.

The sewing machine, one of the
greatest blessings in the way Of ma
chimes ever offered the public, sold for
years mt sixty dollars in the United
States. The Same machine, however,
to be shipped to foreign land, could
be purchased below twenty dollars.
After the patents rau out the price
fell rapidly until now sewing machines
are sold for twenty five dollars and Of
ten below twenty dollars. The sew
ing machine manufacturers became
Immensely rich from their profits Of
several hundred per cent. 1t has
been estimated that typewriting ma
chimes cost less than twenty dollars to
build, while they sell for from fifty
dollars to one hundred dollars each.
1t Is generally understood that an
agreement exists whereby these high
prices are maintained. Business men
are compelled to pay from 300 to 500
per cent. profit or go without the ma
chimes.
Are there any other machines which
yield such profits as the sewing ma
chine did for years ana the type
writing machine has and does, except
1t be the bicycle?

"A Transformation Scene.

\ violinist was playing various airs
before the cages of the animals 10 n
geological garden. He had been play
ing lullaby, but suddenly changed it
for u jig. Then there was transfer
nation scene in the home Of the
lioness as rapid and as complete as
that of the tune. The cubs went into
ocstasies. They rolled about, jumped,
fell over one another, raced over their
mothers recum bent body, and danced
unrebuked on her head. Their frolic
ceased only with the ceasing Of the
music. Then they gathered at the
front bars of the cage and silently
pleaded for more. Their plea was
successful, and in response to the deli
cate fattery conveyed by their manner
the player gave the lullaby once more.
They simply sat and listened to it rs
silently MS they had at fat The
transition to the jig music was once
more made speedily. The first note of
the lively air had barely left the violin
before its riotous contagion had once
more caught the cubs. They rollicked
and rolled about and stopped only
when the professor, fearing to tire
their little limbs, took his bow from
his fiddle and told them they had
danced enough for the occasion.

Cleaning the bread Pm.

A woman hates worse than anything
else the cleansing of the bread pan or
bowl after having made up batch"
of bread. Unless absolutely necessary
to put the bowl away at once, fill it
with cold water and let it stand for an
hour. By that time all the hard
particles will have become softened
and fallen to the bottom of the bowl.
The practice of putting the bowl and
molding board away unwashed, in the
flour bin, as so many do, is most rep
rehensible. The tiny particles will
work off into the next lot of dough and
ferment in the raising, and often spoils
n whole baking of bread, while the
baker is wondering what possesses the
stuff. Absolute cleanliness should
always be observed in attending to
bread, cake or pastry cooking to obtain
the best results.

Making Cornrows Straight.

Much labor in cultivation may be
saved by making corn rows straight
1t is very hard to hold the cultivator
so AS to miss hills that are alternately
few inches out of plumb line one side
or the other. The result is that in try
ing to save the hills it is impossible to
cultivate the soil as it should be or TO
take all the weeds. With the corn in
straight line earth may be drawn
from the stalk and thrown back again
so rs to destroy all the weeds while
they are small. 1t requires not only II
true eye i'll the driver, but an active,
strong horse to draw the marker
straight across the field 1t is not
every man or horse that can ever be
taught to do it. Those who can should
be paid extra for the job, for their work
is really skilled labor.

Fertility I'm the Soil.

The first question which presents
itself is what do we mean by tho "fer-
tility of SOIL to which answer, Pos
session of and power to furnish plant
food, because it is not sufficient of it
self that the soil shall simply be in
possession of the different elements,
chemicals and substances upon which
plants feed, but II is essentially neces-
sary that these shall all be in such con-
dition as to be readily taken up and
made available by the growing plant
= To illustrate: Experience has demon
strated that bone meal is very valu-
able fertilizer and n great stimulator of
plant growth, especially beneficial to
the wheat plant, aud yet we might scat
ter tons of dry bones over the surface
of an acre of ground aud still the
growing crop would receive not one
particle of benefit therefrom.
Now, it IL principle we'll under
stood in the business of farming that
exhaustion of the soil, or reduced fer
tility, simply means that these differ
ent elements upon which plants de-
pend for their growth have been re-
moved from the soil by the continued
cropping of the same.
l have an old German friend who
says some very sensible things in
rather an awkward way, and upon one
occasion, in speaking of field of corn
that hal not come up to his expecta-
tons, explained it all by saying he
guessed the corn juice was all out of
the ground
Now, it makes no difference by what
name we call it; we may speak of it
rs the richness of the soil, or we may
apply the names which science and
chemistry have given to these differ
ent elements and speak of them as nj
trogen, the ammonia and the phos-
phoric acids, the potash and alkalies,
or adopt the more homely expression
of my old friend, and refer to it IA the
Juice" yet the fact remains that if
these have been removed from the soil
the fertility has been reduced to that
extent, and in order to maintain the
former condition system OF restitu-
tion must be adopted; aud if we sue
coed in restoring as much as has been
removed we maintain the fertility, and
more than that tends to increase the
fertility.-N. w. Gear, at the Illinois
Institute.
