FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

of giving the Common Council power
to borrow sum Of money, not to cX-
coed S. 600, for the purpose Of secur-
ing fire protection for the city, by the
construction OF II system OF water
works.
The plan Of the proposed system, as
outlined in the columns OF this paper
on June 10th, last provides for II
we'll, engine house, six-horse power
gasoline engine capable OF pumping
sixty gallons of water per minute
from the pumping station through the
mains to the tank in the city park; n
stone tower and wooden tank fifty feet
in height, the mains to run along on
the south side of High street, seven
hydrants one near the city park, one
near the M. II. church, one near Sal
walton Army building, one near the
Perry building; one corner High and
Chestnut streets, one ut the Martin q
Toay lot corner High and Vine streets
and one at foot of High street. This,
with II thousand feet of hose, would
protect high street and thousand
feet on either side.
The proposed location Of the tower
in the park is just south OF the band
stand, the stone base to be 30 feet
high, with wood tank 90 feet high and
"a feet In diameter, the base to be
built SO as TO receive u steel tank,
should future extensions demand ~
higher tank.
The proposed system is no expert
mcnt. IL IL known aa the gravity sys-
tenn, aud Is In use In more cities and
towns IN the United States than any
other system OF water works.
AS To the matter OF special assess
mcnts for the laying of water mains,
the city attorney has shown that the
law provides that where the ownership
of water works Is In the city, it shall
be the duty of the board of public
works before laying any water pipe
along any street, on other line In said
city, to assess against the several lots
and parts OF lots which may front or
ubhp WI hIl' Ilop'H'h INV VI NultI
pipes, and also all property which
may be contiguous to and used in
connection with lots or parcels of lots
which front or abut on the proposed
water pipe line, such sum as such lot
or parcel OF land will he, IN the judg-
mcnt of such board, specially benefited
by reason of laying such water pipes.
Each regular lot which may front or
abut ON the line of water pipe, shall
he assessed IN amount equal to one
half of the cost, rs estimated by the
said board of public works, of fur
nishing and laying regular minor
water pipe of approved materials and
manufacture with required openings
for connections with private service
water pipes along the front of said
lot. No lot can be subjected TO the
payment OF moro than one assessment
for water pipes on the same street.
In II statement printed elsewhere in
this paper, signed 10y the members
of the Committee ON Fire and Water,
the present estimate Of the cost OF the
water works complete, except the we'll,
or water supply is ~, 100, and that at
least 81 800 of this amount will be
collected from persons whose property
ahut on the water mains and those
specially benefited by the plant.
AS shown 10y the committee, the cost
OF the plant to the city, exclusive OF
we'll, will not exceed $4,000. 1t is

tween two vehicles there is chance of its
becoming entangled in the spokes OF the
wheels on the "leeward" side of the rider

Such an occulancc would he almost cer tain
to cause a horrible accident, and yet every
cyclist who has ridden much in the city has
doubtless seen dozens of har-breath escapes
from just this state of affairs. The only
preventive is unremitting vigilance on the
part OF the woman as she overtakes or
passes a wagon Sometimes have thought
that there is more danger when she is rid
ing with man, because it is natural, after
seeing him pass safely between the vehicles,
to suppose that she can follow without risk
She does not always remember in time that
her tluttering skirt requires more room.
1t is only one of the many occasions in
bicycling where quick thinking and equally
prompt action, the characteristics of a good
rider, become necessary Harper's Bazaar.

lice UNDER PRESSURE.

1t may surprise the general public to
learn that for three years hundreds of work
men have been living in compressed air,
each carrying hundred-weight of air to
every square inch of his body, while we, on
the surface, have borne bat fifteen pounds
to the square inch. This has occurred in
the making of the tunnel beneath the
Thames AT Blackwell, which is described
by, Mr.. j. NJ. Bullock, in vivid article
on the subject in the English Illustrated
Magazine as the Creates feat in subaque-
Gus engineering.
You may understand the process better,
he says, if describe journey | made into

barricade, which effectuaIly corked up the
compressed air, and which, of course; had
been moved several times as the work pro-
coded.
Through this barricade ran two narrow
passages, about the height of an ordinary
man. These were airlocks little air

some minutes in the lock to become accli-

valves were turned on, and the compressed
air from the inner tunnel poured in with
the deafening roar of steam nozzle.

the possibility OF colliding with a wagon
approaching from the opposite direction.
The fact has not been emphasized, however,
that the danger in such instances is far
greater for a woman than for a man. This
is not because she is less prudent or skilful
in her riding either, but simply because of
the way in which she is dressed. Any

The egg plant is not difficult to grow,
and it is one Of those vegetables not often
seen on farmers tables, but which, if pro-
vided, would help make an agreeable va
rety. The purple egg plant is most pro-
ductive and best. The plant belongs to
the same botanical family as the potato,
and must be protected from attacks of the
potato larva. The best way is to watch the
plants closely so long as the potato beetles
are flying, and kill the beetles before they
have laid their eggs. If any larva hatch a
weak dilution of Paris green will kill
them.

The Usage orange is declared to be de-
sirable plant to grow where stakes or posts
are high in price. Nearly 5000 plants can
be grown on an acre if they are placed
three feet apart. They are cultivated both
ways, like corn. After two years they are
cut of at the ground, all the sprouts being
kept back except the tallest. In five years
every alternate one can be cut out for
stakes, and in five years more the others
will make two posts for each plant. The
posts and stakes are very durable and will
last for years. 1t is estimated that in 20
years an acre OF the trees will be worth 5000
and all the trimmings and brush may be
used for firewood, while the posts and
stakes will pay long before that time.

A Japanese correspondent of Garden and
Forest says that the burdock, which the
japanese call ''gobo," is valuable food in
Japan. The tender shoots are boiled with
beans, the roots are put in soup and the
young leaves are eaten as greens. The
plant has been cultivated for centuries and
the annual value of the crop is about
$500, 900. American farmers look on the
burdock as ''pesky weed"

your money, if it costs us three values to
make it so.
7tl-Because we can give you better
work for the money than any other firm in
the State.
8th-If you want to sell your carriage it
will bring more money on account of being

9th Because the people of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia,
appreciate our work by buying from us at
such distances
1Oth--Because we will sell you carriages
cheaper than you can buy elsewhere for

Ground bone or bone meal does not be-
come plant food Immediately. The par
ticles are given off slowly, and, although a
portion will be utilized the first year, the
next crop will be benefited more. If the
ground is not too sandy and porous, an
application OF bone meal will show its
effects for several seasons. When ground
rock is used the same result occurs, but
often farmers are disappointed the first
year. Any investment in phosphates will
surely bring in good returns at some time.

The average yield of staple crops of the
United States is ridiculously small, which
shows that no more land is required, hut
better yields will double the national wealth
with little or no increase in the cost OF pro-
duction. The yield Of wheat per acre, on
an average, is about 10 bushels.

Navy beans can be grown proftably, and
they bring as good prices as any other crop.
The heaviest yields are when they are care
fully cultivated and grown on ground that
has been well MANFRED the previous year.
The harvesting of the crop is the critical
work with them, as they are liable to
damage if exposed to rains after harvesting
them, but there is machinery now in use
which lessons the labor and makes them as
sure as any other crop.

1t is safe to allege that farmers would
more readily adopt the soiling system OF
keeping stock but for the cost of preparing
the food. On the pasture the COW collects
the food herself and stores it away for fur
ther preparation after she reaches the stall.
1t is the objection to the extra labor and
care which has prevented many farmers
from making a profit What should be
considered when cattle are kept at the
harnyard and the food carried to them,
however, is whether the labor would be
well remunerated. Less land would be
required, fewer fences needed, more manure
would be saved, and larger production Of
milk and butter would result. The soiling
system would also lead to a greater variety
OF "rops grown for food and an improve
ment in the fertility of the soil due to more
manure and better rotation on the farm.
