CHICAGO. Dec. 20.-Mayor Harrison has been
downed by the City Council gang" He vetoed

"Billy" O'Brien. promptly put the measure
through over the veto, the yeas being 4s to 10
nays. more than the necessary two-thirds. In
his veto the Mayor said that he regarded the
measure ms opposed to public policy. The
gang learned OF his intention early in the
doubtful Aldermen in line. The ordinance pro-
yides that each OF the sixty-four Aldermen shall
have a secretary at II salary or $1,000. AS the
majority of tho Aldermen have about rs much
use for a secretary as the late Mr.: Crowley of
Central Park. the measure was looked upon as
q good joke. It was known to be q mere blind
each, as the "secretaries would be mere stool
pigeons. Yet Corporation Counsel Thornton
gave an opinion that the Council had the right
to vote the appropriation.

A method of preserving boilers not In
use has been prescribed for the French
navy. According to this, the boilers are
completely filled with fresh water, and in
the case of large boilers with large tubes
there is added to the water a certain
amount of milk of lime or a solution of
soda; in the case of tubular boilers with
small tubes milk of lime or soda is added,
the solution, however, not being SO strong
as for the larger tubes in order to avoid
any danger of contracting the effective
area By deposit from the solution. The
strength Of the solution is to be just sufii-
cient to neutralize any acidity Of the wa
ter. Care is enjoined to be taken to pre-
serve the outside Of the steel or iron tubes
in those boilers which are not to be used
for long periods; such are for this purpose
painted with rcd lead or coal tar as far as
it is possible to reach, while for those por-
tions which are inaccessible a protective
coaling is obtained by burning under the
tubes certain amount of tar or coal tar,
the smoke of these forming a coating Of
SCOT, which prevents the air from reaching
the surface of the tubes. Besides this
treatment, the boiler casing is closed and
kept alright, after some quieklime has
besn placed inside. Periodical inspections
nf these boilers arc made to insure the
.omplete filing Of the tubes
