MIXING WATER WORK.

What has been done in the way of
utilizing the power of Niagara will soon
be done on a smaller scale at many
other places 1t has already been done
at some. In France they have been
studying the Niagara experiment, and,
though somewhat slow to adopt new
ideas, the application of hydraulic force
to the production Of electricity has been
making decided progress there. Per-
haps the most remarkable of the re-
cent French attempts In this direction
is at Briancon, where the military and
civil authorities have combined to get
light, heat, and motive power out of a
centre of a mountainous country, and
is extremely difficult of access. The
town has only 1000 inhabitants, but as
a military station it is of the first i'm
portance, and includes a large number
Of troops. Oil costs a great deal in this
country, because of the difficulty of
transportation, and it was a happy
thought that prompted the war depart
ment to favor the installation of an
electric plant fed by power derived
from the waterfall, not only for the
purpose of supplying light, but of MAX
ing the transportation of freight cheap
and easy, by means Of aerial cables
between the central storehouses and the
detached forts perched at considerable
attitudes among the surrounding hills
The electricity thus obtained has also
been employed to work a refrigerating
apparatus on a large scale, and the
whole installation seems to be a model
of It's kind of what may one day be ac-
complished by every great community
within measurable distance of sufficient
water power.
And when the waves of the sea are
made to furnish power, as they soon
may be, more progress will be made
With new charter and some wave
motors New Haven will be a still finer
place to live in than it now is.

TO REACH PERSONAL PROPERTY.
The scandalous evasion Of the per-
sonal property tax in New York has
brought about a state of feeling that
showed itself in the passage by the
Albany assembly, by vote of $50 to
0, of the graduated inheritance tax BILL
This bill, which was proposed by the
Comptroller of New York, seems Ger
tain to become law. 1t adds the fol-
lowing provisions to the existing inner
itance tax laws Of the State: Where
personal estate is subject to a transfer
tax of per centum, and the value OF
such estate exceeds 100000, an addi-
tional tax shall be imposed on the en-
tire personal estate so taxable, at the
accommodating rate of 1 per centum for
each additional $25oO00 or major frac-
estate exceeds $4,000, O0o it shall only be
subject to taxation at the aggregate
rate of 10 per centum. Where personal
estate is subject to transfer tax of
/ per centum, as prescribed in this sec
ton, and the value of such estate ex-
ceeds $1000,00 an additional tax shall
be imposed on the entire personal es-
tate so taxable at the accommodating
rate of one-half of l per centum for
each additional $250,O0O or major frac-
ton thereof up to 100000, and l per
centum on the entire personal estate
for each additional $250,O00 or major
fraction thereof, above 50, 500, 900, except
that if the entire estate exceed $4,000,
900, it shall only be subject to taxa
ton under this section at the aggre-
gate rate of 10 per centum.
To show the need of some such law
it was asserted during the debate that
only twelve per cent. of the personal
property of the State pays a tax, and
that the only opportunity to equalize
taxation is in the levying of heavy
taxes on the settlement of large estates
after death. 1t was also asserted that
the Comptroller, after costly legislation.
had unearthed cases where the per-
sonal property tax had never been paid,
and stated that this bill, If enacted,
would enable the State to collect sums
due it on personal property the exist
ence of which is often never known I'M

the estate by the courts

Queer things happen in Kansas, in
GLIDING Sister Lease, So many queer
things happen there that it is hardly
worth while to be greatly surprised at
the happening of any one queer thing
there. And yet there will be general
wonder how a Kansas young man rea-
rest of a girl on the charge that she
did suddenly, forcefully and Intention
ally hug him, thereby causing him
great confusion and mental anguish"
What other State in the Union could
produce such a young man? In the
other States the young men are having
confusion and mental anguish because
the girls are not ready to suddenly,
forcefully and Intentionally hug them.
Most of them would even be willing to
pretend to become Populists of the true
Kansas stripe if by so becoming they
could be suddenly, etc, Rugged. And
here is young Kansas Populist who
is so awry that he has confusion and
mental anguish because he is suddenly,
etc, Rugged, and that too by a girl.
Not by one of the tough old female
Populists, but by girl. Something
ought to be done with him. How would
it do for some of the girls of Kansas to
suddenly, etc, hug him to death and
send his queer corpse to the Smithso-
MAN Institute for stuffing and exhibit
ton? He is curiosity whose corpse
would be a notable addition to any col
lection of dead and stuffed things.

said to be q national game, and did not
detest either cards, dominoes or lotto,
at which she played with the women of
the court. Henceforth, in her land of
exile she will be able to resume these
innocent amusements, If she can recov-
er from the loss of her crown.
The queen reigned twelve years. 1t
was during the French expedition In
1883 that the caprice and political cal
eulations of the late prime minister
placed her ON the throne, which had
become vacant by the death of Rama
Valona II. She was then young and
handsome, and the widow of one Of her
cousins, and never dreamed of the for
tune in store for her. She was only
very distant relation of the deceased
queen, and ought to have given way to
her eldest sister, Rasendranora. But
the latter was set aside for special rea-
sons. 1t appears that she was given to
drinking, and, on the whole, led very
irregular life. This reason alone was
sufficient to make the prime minister
reject her claims to the throne, and to
choose the young widow referred to-.
But Ranavalona III. was not happy in
her marriage Rainilaiarivony was
jealous and despotic. But all is now
changed. The prime minister is dead
and buried, and Ranavalona will no
longer wear the crown and purple, or
conspire to upset the French. Her
reign is indeed over, and In her exile
she will have time to reflect on the
vanity of human Wishes.-London

REASON1 BILE ACTION,

The Railroad commission of Illinois
has done what it thought to be it's duty
in spite of Populistic and demagogic
clamor 1t was demanded that the
commission order a reduction from
three to two cents mile in the passen-
ger rates of all the railroad lines in the
State. This was one of the reforms"
that Altgeld and his followers insisted
upon as needed by the people, who were
tired of paying unduly large rates to
help swell the profits of those great cor
porations. The commission refused to
exercise its legal power and order the
reduction. The reason for this refusal
was that for three years none of the
roads had charged three cents, the
maximum they had a right to under
the law, but had limited the rate to a
small fraction above two cents, and
that not one of the roads had made a
fair interest on its actual capital The
commission decided that, while stock
holders of those roads were getting no
dividends, or very small ones, at the
best, an order of decrease would be
unwise and unwarranted and unjust to
the railroad interests. One or two of
the great trunk lines might stand such
a reduction, but the smaller roads that
do only local business, and for more
than two years have had hard strug-
gle to exist, would be most seriously
affected The commission also said:
ply increase the heavy burdens under
which they are staggering now. 1t is
a we'll known fact to those who have
taken the trouble to investigate the
amount of passenger business done by
the railroads in Illinois during the past
two years that there has been a large
decrease in the number of passengers
carried. This is due, in our Judgment,
not to the amount charged for such SER
vice, but to the general depression in
all lines of business, the low prices of
farm products and the unsettled finan-
cial conditions, which have had their
effect on the passenger as well as the
freight business.

leather boots. In his estimation they
are the height of vulgarity. His royal
highness, moreover, is a great believer
in patent leather boots, "for they are"
he says, "quiet, unostentatious and

however. as when he can abandon these
evidences of town life, and don for the
nonce, the ordinary black shooting

The Rev. w. G. Starr, a Methodist
pastor at Richmond, Virginia, recently
learned that a young man had lost in
q game of cards $1,000 with which he
had intended to pay mortgage on his
aged mothers home. Sunday night
Dr. Starr saw in his congregation the
man who won the money and at once
proceeded to cite the facts in the case
and to urge restitution. The gambler
met the clergyman in the street next
day, and said to him: Il have spent a
sleepless night. 1 was on my way to
your house to tell you that the money
had been shipped to that old woman,
and she will get it tomorrow" Then,
with choked utterance, the gambler
added: 81 have determined, by the
help of God, never to throw another
card as long as 1 live" DR.. Starr re-
piled: 81 am glad to know it, and let me
say this to you: If your changed life
makes bread scarce with you for a time
you can sit down at my table as long
tas 1 have a crust to share with any
one"

In trying to make a point against
vegetarianism a member of the Ethno-
graphical Society in Paris read paper
before that body short time ago in
which he insisted that cannibals are ex-
ceedingly strong and vigorous, far ex-
ceeding in strength those tribes not ad-
l1icted to such food. He said that the
savages who abstained from human
food rarely ate meat of any kind, and
were puny lot. The most curious part
of his argument was that the flesh of
women was much more digestible and
far more nutritious than that of men;
many tribes recognize the fact and eat
only women, until the supply gives out.

put an end to old and improvident

will now get together, recover posses
sion Of management in traffic matters,
put in directors who will stop the fix
ing Of rates by subordinates, by traffic
associations, and by their lawyers, the
situation will quickly clear up. If new
legislation is sought from Congress, let

California has adopted the Torrens
system of land transfer The applica-
tion OF the law is made optional, but as
1t gives State guarantee to titles be-
yond that already in existence, and as,
in many instances, it will reduce ex-
pense, it is expected that many pur-
chasers will insist upon the execution
of the provisions of the law. 1t avoids
the stone upon which the Illinois law
was wrecked by providing first for the
adjudication Of the title by the Superior
court, after which the title is registered
by the recorder. The decree of the
court is to be regarded as conclusive,
except in certain specified cases, and a
five years limitation is placed in bring
Ing actions affecting the titles to regis
tered lands. Under the new law no adj
verse possession after registration is
possible, but persons defrauded will not
lose their rights, and existing statutes
governing probate, insolvency and
equity proceedings are not affected.

People Hard to Please.

There is scarcely a day passes in the
life of the editor Of paper in which
he is not requested to suppress some
item of local news. People are ex-
tremely anxious to read all the news,
gossip and scandal concerning other
folks, and equally anxious to suppress
any unpleasant news concerning them
selves or their friends. IF newspapers
generally complied with the requests
made for the suppression Of local news,
the papers would be much more tame
and undressing than now, says the
Madison Journal. Tt is said, and it lis
no doubt true, that no good can come
from spreading before the community
reports Of misdemeanors, crimes or
scandals, but nevertheless nearly every
newspaper reader nxiOusly reads every
thing that is published concerning dis
reputable happenings, and grumble8
about the papers lack Of enterprise, if
it fails to print all the local news. An
exchange in discussing this question,
does SO in the following plain, if not
very elegant way:
When you ask an editor to sup
press an item of news because it does
not please you, go to your grocer and
ask him to quit handling pickles or
prunes because you don't like them, or
to your butcher and ask him to ex-
clude bologna sausage and head cheese
because they don't agree with your
stomach. The grocer and the butcher
viii fall all over each other to concede
to your wishes, wouldn't they? Echo
answers, Nit. News is an editors
stock in trade; what you don't like
may be 'hot stuff for others, what they
pay for aud haYe good reason to expect
from newspaper. So are pickles,
prunes, wienerwurst and souse stock in
trade of the grocer and butcher"
