Registrar F. L. Moody and Supervisor
]. H. Mcconnell, Of the water works de-
partment, submitted to the council water
works committee yesterday their report
explaining, to large extent. the waste of
city water this spring, as compared with
the amount pumped per day a year ago.
The committee requested Messrs Moody
and Mcconnell some two weeks ago to
investigate and report as to the cause of
the alleged excess of some 4OOO. 900 GAL
Ions day in the amount of water pump
ed over that of last year during the same
period.
The report shows an enormous per
b capita consumption of water during the
early portion Of the present month. It
has amounted to 106 gallons per day.
Ihls exceeds, by at least 100 per cent.
the per capita consumption from which
figures have been obtained of any other
city, and, as the report says: This
amount of water pumped is simply out
of question at any time of the year,
What will 1t be In summer?,
The committee. after reporting serious
in many business blocks, charges a con-
siderable portion of the loss to the
schools. On this point the report says:
In regard to the school houses, we
nave Inspected fifty, and find that there
is a great waste of water in these build
nss. In one of these buildings, known
rs the Jefferson school, there were two
Gree-quarter-tnch pipes running wide
open; also at the Winthrop school the
same condition existed. In fact, the de-
tailed report on the school buildings, in
senerai, shows that there Is an unneces-
sary waste Of water in these buildings

Watch That Varies Only One
Third Of a Second q Day,

Watch That Varies Only One
Third Of Second a Day.
A watch Of remarkable perfection Is
described in the London Times, its dis
tinction resting on the fact of it's having
just gained the Kew certificate Of "Class
A, Especially Good" with the extraor-
binary mark Of $751; out of possible 100.
To win the latter watch would have to
be absolutely perfect as timex eper, a
result admitted to be scarcely within
range of practical achievement.
This watch, an all-English pocket chro-
nometer, has mean variation of daily
rate amounting to only one-third of a
second, and the mean difference between
the extreme gaining and losing rates to
four seconds. The maker attributes this
result to the use Of revolving escape
ment, or tourbillou, device In which
the frame that carries the encasement is
made to revolve slowly, but continuously,
in the main frame of the action of the
watch. thus reducing the error in time

Of mechanism which does not materially
increase the complication Of the watch,
involving, In fact, the addition of one

While the marks for this watch for tenn

to be unsurpassed-as many as 1877 having
been recorded out Of twenty-those for
smallness in variation in daily rate and
for absence Of position errors are unus-
