THE APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE.
In the First Branch the annual APP
preparation ordinance was taken up
the first thing, and it's consideration
occupied more than an hour in that
body alone. The original ordinance,
as to the Gas Board, appropriated as
follows:
To pay estimated exp. .$92.216 90
TO pay oVerdraft........ 1896 00-$94, liz 90
This was amended by a printed slip,
coming from the finance committee, to
read as follows:
To pay estimated exp. .s92 PIG 90
To pay on overdraft..:. 1,SS6 90
To pay advance in
wages of StokerS,
chargers and mud men 1,4S2 90-S95, 594 80
Mr.. Chew offered a substitute for
this amendment, striking out all the
verbiage, and simply appropriating
$95,594.90, his object, as explain
ed, being to let the Board shoulder the
wage question and do as they pleased
about an ugly matter, which had been
oliONCd oAI OA SOullCil, liC that
the Board should fix it's rate of wages
without appealing to Council. The
amendment was adopted.
There was another kick on the Sixth
ward distribution of the ten cent levy
fund, and Mr.. Chew secured an
amendment which, however, in
cluded the sewer through the B. & O..
grounds, on the line of Main street ex-
tension, from Twenty-seventh to
Twenty-ninth streets, for which $3.50 is
appropriated.
When the ordinance reached the
Second Branch there was a fine row
over the Sixth ward appropriation,
Mr.. Caldwell following Mr. Gartly in
the First, saying the sewer item was a
steal. He also said the same sewer
never smelled bad until Mr.. McMechen
got his deed from the B. & O., after
which it smelled so badly it probably
kept him awake at night" He kicked
fASOiOooiys anu Ndo lCPilCu " ny MI
McMechen, who said that outside of
the city of Wheeling sewers were
built by private parties, and
as the deed from the B &
o. was made in the East, the
clause was inserted and was signed.
1t was purely city matter however,
and the city would have to attend to it,
sooner or later Mr.. Caldwell replied.
saying the sewer would cost $1,000 or
$4,000, the present, appropriation being
but starter. If the city started it, It
would have to complete it, and he did
not believe the citizens would approve
it in any way. He also wanted to
know why Mr.. Barton, who took such
an interest in the sewer, had not MOTTO
ed there were no fire escapes on the
McMechen building, but his remarks
were ruled out of order.
Pending discussion Mr.. Watson of

Board of Charities some new and inn

be located in the State. 1t is said to be
not improbable that some private insti-
tutions of the kind may be built in the
State at an early day. The board viii

Friction and Power.

A detailed account has been given to
the public by Prof. c. H. BENJAMIN of
the Case School of Applied Science at
Cleveland, o., of his recent experiments
in determining the loss of power
through friction in the transmission bv
belts and shafting. These observations
were made in sixteen factories each en-
gagged in a different kind of work He
records the most startling loss to have
been found in a bridge material factory
where the shops We're spread over a lot
of ground, so per cent, of the engines
power was lost in the shafting there
In a planning mill the loss was 73 Der
cent, and in a sewing machine factory
it was nearly 20 per cent; it was II per
cent in stamping mill and SIS per cent
in a boiler and machine works. The
average loss for heavy machine shops
was little in excess of SO per cent.
the average for light machine work was
about So per cent

To secure a pound of honey, which is
equivalent to something like 5000 cells.
would take bee several years. In fine
weather the bee makes calls upon fifty
to eighty flowers in a days outings.
During this time it collects what is
equivalent to grain of nectar, which
is thin syrup and has to be evaporated
to make honey. The bee, after work
ing all day, spends the greater part of
the night tanning the nectar with its
wings to evaporate the surplus water.
In this way it shortens its life by wear
ing out its wings. Langstroth says that
bee at the height of the working sea-
son lives about three working weeks
and then dies. Bees frequently perish
on the way home, because their wings
are so shattered and splintered that
they refuse to support the body. If a
disabled bee reaches the hive alive it
spends the remainder of its days as
nurse, housekeeper and in general utili-
ty work. A good and fertile queen bee
keeps the hive full of bees during the
season. When the honey flow stops she
ceases laying at once, then the work
ers kill all of the drones and manifest
other symptoms of a consuming desire
for retrenchment.

sharp kitchen knife. quickly skinned
the tough wrinkled cuticle peeIinS off

then cut off and the feet thus entirely

be boiled six or eight hours in mint

in gelatinous matter and the stock

Climbing High Attitudes.

All persons who have climbed great
heights are aware that respiration be-
comes more or less difficult, the heart
beats either very irregularly or with
great rapidity. and nausea, exhaustion
and other unpleasant sensations are ex-
perienced. Just what is the highest
limit to which man can ascend and live
has frequently been questioned. A sci
enlist reached 5000 feet above sea lev
ell without great trouble. The idea sug-
gested itself-could he not create a
rareied atmosphere by a mechanical
process? He prepared very large
pneumatic air chamber and rugged il
with all the necessary appliances. He
shut himself in, when the air was rare
ned to degree which would probably
be found at the height of $4,000 feet
above sea level, then he became so dis
tressed that the experiment had to
stop. AS Mt. Everest is a mile higher
than this simulated altitude, we may
naturally conclude that unless there are
means for providing for assisting res
piration, feet will never tread the
height on this globe.

Carving Out Instructions.

There was young man whose So
clal education had been somewhat neg
lected, and it CHANGED that he received
an invitation to a church wedding.
The morning of the ceremony found
him quite excited, and he started for
the church some time before, as he
would have said, "the show was billed
to come off"
Under his arm he carried a small
bundle, and before he had proceeded
far he met a friend.
Hello said the friend "and where
are you going all dressed up at this
time in the morning?"
Wedding answered the young man
briefly and proudly.
Indeed? Going to do some errands
on the way"
Certainly not"
But you are not going to a wedding

ent.''
Present! But you don't take your
present with you, man. You send it
beforehand
That's all you know about it. I've

and the card says: Present at the
