of tolerance of one ounce in each four

scientific allowances for weighing scales
There should never be any error In weights,

lions During July.
Capt. Gaillard. the engineer officer in
charge of the Washington aaueduct. re-
ports the condition of the water served 10
the city during the month of July. at diff
ferent points of the system, as follows:
AT Great Falls-Very turbid eighteen
days. tnrbid two days and clear eleven
days ..t.1
AT Dalecarlia Creceiving reservoir)-yery
tul bid sixteen days. turbid one day and
clear fourteen days. -
AT distributing reservoir (eff1uent gate
house)-Fery turbid four days, turbid two
days, slightly turbid three days and clear
twenty-five days.
During the month a small boathouse was
built at the Dalecarlia reservoir; slight re-
pairs were made to the Conduit road, and
bitches and entertainments We're cleaned.
From the channels around the Dalecarlia
reservoir were removed about 100 cubic
yards OF sand deposited by the storm of
July Z. when 40 inches of rain fell in
three-quarters of an hour at the Dalecariia
reservoir and LII inches in about an hour
at the distributing reservoir.
Capt. Gaillard reports that current meter
observations were taken in the conduit at
manhole No. 80 July 3 and 8. Those taken
on the latter date" he says, ARE of great
interest, as they actually measured the
maximum discharge which can be devel-
oped in the portion of the conduit between
during the lowest stage of the Potomac,
with the dam raised two and one-half feet,
the cor duit thoroughly cleaned, scraped
and swept about six weeks previously, and
the water in the distributing reservoir kept
at about the reference IA feet above
datum. The mean velocity on July 8 was
1.S62 feet per second, corresponding to dis
Charge of about 76,5O0,OO gallons in twen-
ty-four hours. or about 81 100000 per day,

sumption and waste. Ten years ago the
average daily consumption and waste was
b per cent of the ultimate capacity of the
conduit. Now it Is about 60 per cent"

Yesterday. Electrocution.
Of The Evening Star:

10 TIE Edlfor OF Inc Evening star:
In justice to the many readers of your
valuable paper, 1 think it very important
that a correction should be made regard
ing the voltage required to produce death.
as some, one may far victim to a trolley
current, unless something Is said with
reference to the report in The Star of the
electrocution of a workman employed by
the Tenleytown road.
The resistance of the human body VARIES
but when moist hand gInsps trolley
wire, and makes earth eoHnection. 1t will
be on an average $500 fohms;, taking the
usual voltage, 500 directs adcurrent Of two
tenths of an ampere would, flow, even TAX
ing the voltage at $50, oslightly over one
tenth of an ampere would flow, the last
mentioned being, sufficient to produce
death; also no electric light circuit of 2.000
volts is run parallel with, o, trolley circuit
without being well insulated. and my
opinion is that the workman was electro
cuted by the trolley current. as that alone
will most certainly pEotiupe death. when
handled as per your repectse

REV. HILTON TO LEAVE
Resigns the Passionate of the Central Chris
tian Church.

At the close Of the morning services
last Sunday, Rev. ". T Hilton. of the
Central Christian church of this city.
rendered his resignation as pastor, to
take effect a. the end Of his pastoral year
in November. While not entire.y unex-
pected, his action was a surprise and
disappointment 10 his congregation, who
had hoped that he might remain perma-
nently. Notwithstanding int resigna-
ton very many have expressed the hope
that he may yet be induced to remain
during the next year al least. He has
not YET made public MS new fed of "a
Dor. but will probably remain in The min
istry in this stale.
Rev. Hilton has been in Kansas less
than one year. but already has an envi-
able standing as pulpit orator. a care
full student and a conservative man. He
is a good organizer and thoroughly sys-
tematize mis- work both in the pulpit and
the business affairs 81 the church. His
work during the short time he has been
IN the city has greatly .igh;ened the re-
sponsibility OF mis- successor. As
speaker he is forcible and logical, His
sermons are rich in thought and subject
matter.
Il is much 10 be regretted TIA; Rev.
Hilton feels called upon TO leave. The
cause seems 70 be a slight disaffec,lon in
the Official board. but The reason for that
seems iii fficult 10 determine accurately.

How II Strikes One to Get OF the Wide
Prairies.

J. F. Pomeroy. who planned and pilot
ed the very pleasant excursion to Eu-
reka Springs week before last, is here
in the interest OF another. To a person
who is accustomed 70 the nonotony OF
the wide raries OF Kansas and the
west, a trip down the Frisco into the
Ozarks TO Eureka Springs is continu
GUS surprise and a rest. Leaving here
at $40 p. m, the party of twenty-five
physicians and newspaper men got off
the Frisco at Seligman, Mo-, AMI began
twenty-mile run TO the Springs. The
Eureka Springs railway from the unpre-
tenti0us little village of Seligman is the
only inlet or outlet for Eureka Springs.
Apparently the road goes down hill all
the way. but coming back the upgrade
is not noticeable. Dropping into deep
cut under the very caves of the Selgman
postoffice the road begins immed ately
delightful ramble through the hills At
the NarTows a deep cut through lime
stone, the train creepS across the bridge
SO slowly you can follow the outlines OF
the rifles in the clear water below. And
before you nave hardly found the top OF
the high, rough rocks there is a little
log house tucked away between the
curves of two peaks and a truck patch
and little corn field stretching around
the curve across the wider part Of the
valley. The view then passes into a
deep slope Of evergreens, pines, etc. One
Change after another all the way.
At the Springs it rained the bright
talyno coach back up the hill and sent
the boys in a closed rig more than a
mile and a half around and around the
mountain to the Crescent hotel not more
than 300 Or 400 yards from the depot and
a third of that distance straight up Eu-
reka Springs IS a town of 1900 people
and nestles among the hills in such
delightfully."- uncertain way that the alb
soroing interest OF walk or trolley
ride through the streets is the best OF
appetizers.
The party spent the afternoon about
town near the Springs drinking the cold,
pure water and at evening from the roof
OF the Crescent looked over the little
city. On East Mountain the little tortu-
Gus cowpaths wound in lines about the
hill, crossing and recrossing among the
trees till they disappeared. The yellow
sunset shot up from beyond Pea Ridge,
famous for It's battle, and fell in a
mellow glow on East Mountain. Com
ing up from below the far away tinkle
OF the cowbells, the sensuous lull of
Eureka and its hills in twilight. made
the boys forget and dream. And that's
what the town is for.
