WILL LAST TILL JUNE.
Freely Predicted There Will he Another
Six Months of War.


LONDON. Dec. 15.-While the out
wardly calm attitude of the press and
people here during the present crisis
command admiration, there is an under
current of intense indignation against
the war office and the soveynment
which threatens to have a serious ad-
dition in the blunders of the generals
and the further evidences of the break
dOwn of the transportation and intelli-
gence departments which are daily
coming to light.
1t was freely predicted, even in high
military circles. that the South AZ
rican campaign will last until June. It
was also expected that General Me-
theun would have to retire south Of the
Orange River, as it was claimed he
could not hold out long at the Modder
River. where his ammunition and food
supplies were not expected to last over
a week. In fact. 1t was said that his line
Of communications Were probably al
ready cut, and 1t was claimed that Gen
eral Gatacre was similarly weakened
by his reverses.
Gatacre's Killed and Wounded.
The war office has received from Gen
eral Gatacre the following list of cas-
u~alties. furnished by a correspondent
who was permitted to visit the Boer
camp with the chaplains and is be-
lieved to be reliable:
Second Royal Irish-Ten killed, 81
wounded.
First East Lancashires-One wound.
ed.
Second Northumberland Twelve
killed; - wounded.
All the above wounded men are pris,
oners.
Some Dramatic Scenes.
The scenes at the war Office when
General Methuen's casualties were
posted were highly dramatic. There
was a steady incursion Of anxious in
uuirers from the moment the doors
opened and there was intense excite
ment when an official appeared bearing
the ominously long list Of nanes The
women present crowded eagerly for
ward and begged for copies Of the lists.
But the supply was not sufficient and
the official read out the lists. Intense
feeling was evident on all the faces.
1t was a memorable scene. Some Of
the women were SO overcome that they
had to be assisted from the room.
The afternoon papers Of all shades of
politics following the morning papers
in facing the situation courageously,
and demanding the immediate dispatch
of reinforcements. Thus the radical
Star says:
The stake the gambler Chamberlain
has thrown on the table is not merely
South Africa, but the empire. 1t is too
late to reject the game. We have no
choice but to play it, even if it involves
sending abroad the militia. Our armies
in South Africa must be amply re-
inforced."

Stafford in Bellows Falls.

The inspired orator and statesman Of
Caledonia county, Hon. W. P. Stafford, is
received wherever he goes with great en-
thusiasm. His speeches are considered
masterpieces of oratory, diction and prac-
ticability, and the newspaper of the town
wherein he speaks is sure to publish hi, ad-
dress. His latest public appearance and
success was at Bellows Falls, where he de.
livered the address, "Freedom in the
Philippines, under the auspices of the
Young Mems Club.
The speaker /, SO popular among the
citizens of Bellows Fall, that, after the ad-
dress, reception was rendered Mr.. Stat
ford, felicitation that is mark of special
honor to public speaker. Such public
success at thi. time will be of great help to
Mr.. Stafford's congressional boom7et. He
is in earnest in hi, candidacy, and that he
would poll liberal vote throughout the

Farr brook has been lost because of lack

Farr brook has been lost because of lack
of storage capacity.
II the dam had been raised as proposed, ;,
or even if it had besn raised five feet,
there would be no scarcity Of water now.
The estimated cost Of raising the dam
ten feet was $1,000, with $1,000 for new
gate house and waste-way, and at that
time it could have been done for consider
ably less, as was shown by the cost Of
what was actually done.
The engineers estimate for the Farr
brook work was about $1,000 while the
actual cost was less than $4,000, the prob
able reason being the difference between
work as done in the cities and as it was
done here.
The dam should have been raised three
or four years ago, even if it were not best
to do it in 1892.
Since that time every move that has been
made such as enlarging and extending tie
system Of pipes has tended to increase the
facilities of using water but not thing has
been done either to secure more or even to
save that which did run into the pond.
The writer believes that the first thing
to do is to raise the dam not less than six
feet, laying the foundations SO that the
height may be carried to ten feet when
needed, if it be raised only six feet now.
1t would be better to raise it the full
ten feet at once. Thi, would increase
the capacity of the reservoir by about
100000 gallons or to nearly 200,000,-
600, gallons in all. If raised only six feet
the total capacity would be about 125, 0O0,-
900 gallons or nearly twice what it is now.
The next thing to do, and perhaps it
should be done at once, would be to bring
in the Ellis brook. We should then bave
a water shed capable of furnishing not less
than 250,000000 gallons and storage
capacity of 1875 0O0,0Oo gallons to 2O0,-
900, 900 gallons, according to the height of
the dam. The latter amount, even if there
were no additional supply more than
enough to balance evaporation and leak
age, would give 60 gallons day tor year
for each person of population Of more
than 5000.
All that is needed to make the village
perfectly secure for many years is to make
use OF the supply that is easily obtainable
from Ellis brook and then save it in
a proper reservoir. There should be some
measures to prevent loss of water
through leaky faucets and extravagant use.

Saturdays Eclipse.

The sky was clear Saturday evening and
afforded an excellent opportunity to see
the nearly total eclipse of the moon. Sci
entifcally it was in the category of partial
eclpses, as the shadow cast by the earth
LETT mere fraction, about 1-250th, of the
entire luna area unaffected. At the time
Of the greatest encr oachment of the show
ow, about half past s o'clock, the bright
ness was mere threal Like curve OF gold
at the lower right hand edge Of the disk.
The entire process of the eclipse lasted a
little more than three hours and quarter,
during all OF which time except the first few
minutes the conditions for observation were
most favorable.
A school boy understands that long
conical shadow prof jet, from the side Of
the earth opposite the sun. The base Of
this shadow rests upon the earth, while the
apex projects far out into space. When
the moon passes through this shadow ar
eclipse is formed. This occurs quite fire..
quently, comparatively, but seldom does
any great part of the moons disc become
sufficiently obscured to make the eclipse
worthy of attention.

The Water Situation.

Mr.. EDlToR:-In the presence of the
present water famine little retrospect and
little forecast may be we'll. In June,
1892, Engineer E. A. Ellsworth made
report showing that from the Minard's
pond water she'd there could be expected
about 100000 gallons of water per
year, or an allowance of 60 gallons per
day for $500 peop'e; that from the Farr
brook about 65,000,0O0 gallons. and from
the Ellis brook about 125, 0O0,0 900 gallons
annually.
At a corporation meeting held soon after
it was proposed by the committee in charge
that the Farr brook be brought into Mi
nard's pond, and further that the dam be
raised ten feet to impound the water so
introduced. The Farr brook proposition
was carried but that for raising the dam
was not. The result has been that large
percentage of the extra supply from the
