Roston's New Water Supply.

The metropolitan water commission is about to build the largest storage reservoir in the world, its capacity being no less than 65, ,000 GOO, 900 gallons, or, according to Fire and Water, "enough to supply tho city of Boston for 3@ years and four times as much as the capacity of all the existing waterworks reservoirs of that city. Its capacity is twice as much as that of the new Croton reservoir of New York, thrice that of the six reservoirs of Birmingham, England, 30 times that of the Cochituato and 25 times that of Hobbs brook of the Cambridge system. It will hold more wa ter than the inner harbor of Boston,"
 This dam is to be built at Clinton, Mass, and the vast volume of water, cov- ering over 4,000 acres, will be entrapped and retained by dam 1,250 feet long tor 20 feet shorter than the Croton dam) 127 feet high above the ground and 153 feet high above its rock foundation. This dam is, however not as high as a number of others which retain much less water. Tho Croton dam has 0 height of 157 feet above ground and 245 above rock. "To guard against tho pressure of the millions of tona of water that will be exerted on the dam the engineers have made their plans with the greatest care, drawing upon every at- tainable source of information. ]" The dam will cross narrow gorge about three-ffths of a mile above the Lancaster mills, at which point solid a rock support for every part of the dam exists. It will be built wholly of masonry, having the same form of cross section as that of the new Croton dam.-Engineering News

t- Making. Lincoln Presentable.

In narrating s'When Lincoln Was First Inaugurated" in The Ladies Home Jour nal, Stephen Tiske writes interestingly of the memorable journey from Springfield, Ills, to the national capital, and tells of Mrs. Lincoln's efforts to have her husband look prescntable when receiving delega- tion that was to greet them upon reaching New York city.
 "The train stopped,,, writes MT. Fiske, land through the windows immense crowds could be seen. The cheering drowned tho Blowing of of steam by the To. comotive. Then Mrs. Lincoln opened her handbag and said: 1n 3sl

A CHASE AFTER GAouLs.

 The Innocent Reporter Aftcrward Learned
 How Bet. Was Decided.
 To hunt grave robbers is not pleasant assignment, but that task devolvod upon me when I was reporting in the small western city of -Blanktown. The sacred resting places of Blanktowns dead had been disturbed byghouls, and indignation ran high. I was detailed to investigate the robbcries. I made mistake at the start. I told the local police force, one man and Q town constable of my assign mont, and they kindly took mo under their protection and invited me to go with them to guard the cemetery. We used to sit on the wall of the graveyard every night after 12 o'clock. The grave robbers must havo known of our presence, for they kept out of the way for Q long time
 One dark night when the wind had driven us to shelter in Q rickety toolhouse, the ghouls came and resurrected old Joe M. from the yault where the township au- thorities had placed him. They had car ried the body half way across the cemetery, when one of the robbers stumbled and swore. We heard them and gave chase.
 The first thing a country policeman thinks of in an emergency like this is to shoot, and the two banged away at the fleeing forms 200 yards ahead until the chambers of their weapons were empty. We saw the fugitives turn down side ave- nue into the town. As we ran it struck me as grotcsque to hear a college song started up ahead of HIS. In few minutes we came upon three students apparently intoxicated. They were leaning against fence, clinging affectionately to each other, and two were smiting the third on the back
 They stopped when the constable asked them whether any ono had passed them. Replying that no one had they broke forth in song again. The man in the middle was not limp as man very drunk usually is, but he stood as erect as a soldier. A thin cap was comically cooked over one eye, and underneath the rim his face was expressionless.
 "You two fellows get home and take shot of the constable. We did not capture the thieves, but the robberies ceased.
 A few weeks ago l met Billy w., now taking post graduate course in Q medical college in this city.
 Do you remember Joe MP" he asked me.
 "I guess I ought to. Why?"
 "Oh, nothing. Only we had deuce of time that night you chased us out of the Blanktown cemetery. Holding that heavy corpse between us and playing that farce of college trio on lark was no mean task. can tell you. We got him to the college, and I won my bet He had died of liver disease and not paresis as Jim L. had wagered. ."--Exchange.

A brief outline of the play, "a Fool of
Fortune" may not prove uninteresting:
Elisha Cunningham, a broker, hav-
ing struck it ''rich,' goes to Europe
with his daughter Marjorie. He is a
man in the forties and is possessed Of
horse sense" He has made up his
mind that he will do no more specu-
lating, but viii confine himself in the
future to handling the risks of others.

and has got to that stage where he is
pointed out among the curiosities of the
street AT time when the clouds over
his head appear to be the darkest a
friend places him in possession of a
block of the old stock that has been
bought for a song. The stock takes a
rise in value and by its manipulation
the old man regains his fortune, and
in doing so carries down the man who
was responsible for his downfall. The
strain upon the old broker has been
a severe one. He sits down at a desk
and apparently falls asleep, but it is

his life insurance policy. Then follows
a piece of work that has been repeated
times without number in Wall street.
Powers gets word from the inside that
the consolidation will be defeated Just
as soon as this news gets out the value
of Sunset will drop out of sight, and
himself and his friends will be ruined.
He wires Cunningham to keep on buy

er holder, the interior being divided in
to number of water-tight compart-
ments, with orifices to support the
stems of the flowers in the water, thus
keeping them fresh.
A new tool case for cyclers consists
of a rectangular box to be strapped on
to the frame of the bicycle, with both
sides hinged at the bottom to drop
down and bring the tools in view, each
Of which slides into a rubber sheath to
prevent it from rafting.
A handy hose holder for sprinkling
lawns has a pointed rod to be pushed
into the ground and support a revolv-
ing metal disk which has loops through
which the hose nozzle is passed and
held by means of thumb screws which
tighten the loops.
A Massachusetts man has invented a
tumbler brush and chimney washer,
which will fit any size glass, the bris-
ties being set in opposite sides of a
double pivoted stem, which has han
dies to open the brushes outward until
they strike the glass.
To give an alarm in case of fire two
convex corrugated metal plates are set
in sockets with their edges together
and carrying contact points which are
brought together by the expansion of
the plates by the heat of a fire to COM
plete an electric circuit.
Fogs on the ocean or navigable
streams NAV be dispersed for some dis
lance ahead Of a vessel by means of
new invention, consisting of an arched
distributing pipe with jet tubes set in
one side to discharge water or other
liquid in spray against the fog.
To draw a measured quantity of liq-
uid from a receptacle a new faucet has
a double-acting valve which closes one
outlet as soon as the other is open, thus
preventing the pouring of the liquid in
to the measuring glass while the dis
charge pipe is open.
In holding two sections of drain pipe
together while cementing, a newly pat
ented core will be found useful, the
device being divided into three wedge
shaped sections, which force the pipes
to align and can be withdrawn after the
cement hardens by means of a handle
or cord.
Horseshoes which can be attached to
the hoof without the use of nails have
a broad steel band attached to the front
and sides Of the shoe, ending in screw
sockets at the rear to draw the band
tight over the hoof by means Of screws
inserted in the rear of the shoe.
