Discussion, and Received Aus
o,,ate A tfention- Hand-Carts and
Canvas Bags Ordered-A CLOSED
Cart for Removing FILTH from
Sewer Drops--New Hose Ordered.
A Stone Crusher to Be- procured.
Other Action Taken.
very important meeting OF the
BOARD of Public Works was held yes
terday afternoon, at which the new
ideas for keeping the streets clean,
outlined in the last issue OF the sun
day Register, came up for discussion
and action.
The members of the Board have
been considering the question OF TAX
ing some advanced steps in this mat
ter for some time, and at yesterday $
meeting a policy was agreed upon and
steps taken to carry it out systemat-
ically. AS a result, we will probably
have much cleaner streets, at least I'D
the central portion of the city, during
the coming year than ever before.
The Board had before it number
of descriptions and photographs OF
hand-carts for the gathering up OF
street refuse, and after thorough ex-
animation of the various styles and
sizes. selected a type and passed a
resolution to purchase six iron carts.
These carts are fitted with large can
vas sacks, one hundred of which were
also ordered The carts are wheeled
about by a man, who is equipped with
a shovel and broom, and all. dirt found
on the street is placed in the bag.
When full the bag is detached from the
cart, tied up, and deposited on or near
the curbstone, an empty sack is put
on the cart and the work is proceeded
with. At intervals large cart gath
ers up the contents of the filled sacks
and the refuse is carted off to dump.
Five new sections of hose for washing
the streets were also ordered, as the
old hose is beginning to show decid-
eddy the effects of being dragged over
the paved streets. Pursuing this mat
ter Of street cleaning, tie Board dis
cussed the advisability Of setting apart
a stated and certain sum out of its
contingent fund, for this purpose
alone, and while no action was taken
yesterday, it is altogether probable
that about $4,000 will be held sacred
for the clean streets cause. A tight
iron cart was ordered purchased for
the especial work of removing the
liquid filth and ooze which collects in
sewer drops.
Among other matters upon which
there was action, resolution was
adopted ordering the Panhandle rail-
road to keep the foot of Fifth street
clear of cars, and another resolution
adopted instructs officers of the Board
and requests policemen to arrest all
persons dumping earth or refuse over
the bank west of the Riverside park,
and just north of the Panhandle
freight station.

The Howell rornedo.

Commodore John A. Howell, w,.o
has just been promoted to the rank of
rear admiral, is the inventor of self
propelling torpedo that differs in sew
eral respects from the Whitehead. The
chief novelty of the American system
relates to the mode of driving the screw.
Whitehead stored compressed air in
a chamber in his torpedo and placed in
an adjoining compartment small en-
gine which should be operated thereby
at the right juncture. Howell employs
heavy fywheel, which is put in rapid
revolution, just before the torpedo is
launched, by connecting its projecting
axle with steam engine that is entire
ly independent of the torpedo. The
Howell system has been improved since
it was first patented in 1871, and it has
been extensively used in the United
States navy

Swapping Telephones.

The following story comes from the
Grand Rapids Press and has to do with
a man and woman who are employed
in different offices in one of the large
buildings of that city. Each Office has a
telephone, but as il happens one is an
instrument belonging to the Citizens
company, the other a Bell instrument.
One day the man had occasion to use
the Citizens line and stepped across the
hall to the lady's office.
Have you a Citizens phone?" he
asked. and she replied in the affirmative.
Well, . he yentured: HI'm citizen.
May use it,"
Why, of course be might use it, but
inwardly she was inclined to envy his
ability to stand up and assert his citi-
zenship in this way, for some of her
womanly propensities were of the new
ish sort. An hour later she balanced
accounts with him.
Have you Bell telephone?" she
asked on stepping into his Office. He did
not try to deny it.
Well, I'm belle. May use it?''

rhe Considerate MuIes.

General Banks was besieging Port
Hudson, La, the southern gateway to
the control of the Mississippi river. A
body of troops had marched into the
back country to look fer lowering Con-
federate cavalry and were sleeping one
moonless night behind stacked rifles in
readiness for night attack. The attack
came in an unexpected form. Some six
or eight army mules, getting somehow
detached from the wagon wheels to
which they were tied at night were
seized by panic and came charging
down almost the entire line of the Fifty
second Massachusetts, volunteers. Every
man lay covered with ''shelter tent, +"
a piece of white cotton cloth about five
feet square.
AS the mules rushed over each one Of
us he woke suddenly with cry and
sprang up, raising his shelter tent in
one hand or upon his front, SO that he
seemed like a sheeted and gibbering
ghost. This successive risingof over 400
apparitions added wildness to the panic
of the mules, and they fairly flew down
the line. Now, the remarkable thing is
that while many man had his side
rubbed hard or his scalp abraded by
the hoof or the leg of mule not man
was really stepped on or badly hurt. It
was for months subject Of comment
with us that the mules in their intensi-
fed panic should nevertheless have been
able to see where to step, should have
cared where they stepped and in their
speed should have been able always to
step on the ground. Spectator.
