STREETS TORN UP
Traffic Interrupted by Work Of
Electric Light, Telephone and
Street Gar Companies.

Between the Narragansett Electric
Lighting Company, the Providence
Telephone Company and the Jniion
Railroad Company the city streets are
in a state OF upheaval most OF the
time and citizens are beginning to
grumble about It,
One cause for complaint. which 1t is
thought might be easily obviated. is
that this work of tearing up the streets
ia done almost entirely during the day.
when II could be done at night. For
instance. Westminster street between
Dorrance ana jackson. was opened
every 30 or 40 yards last Friday. one
side of the street remaining obstructed
until the next day. when the entire
work could have been done between
sunset and sunrise.
The Electric Lighting Company was
ordered to place its wires underground
and a system of conduits is necessary.
Commissioner of Public WORKS Smith
requested the men doing this work not
to dig UP too much of the street at one
time. in order TO get the pavement
back as quickly as possible. IL the
trenches are too deep, it means that
the pavement can only be relaid tenn
porarily and IN a couple OF weeks II
must be done over again.
The telephone company is digging up
the streets in the South Providence
section and the railroad company re-
Gently had a gang at work around
Turks Head putting in switches and

The city has done very little in the
way of digging up streets this year.
The only annoyance reported in this
connection was the opera3g OF Water
man street. from Gano street 10 Way
land avenue. That work began June IA
and has gone slowly forward. ii is arr
Gued. apparently with reason. that this
work could be done more expeditiously
at night.

A Fish Tint Eats Ducks.

Among the queer things in India Is
the fish that eats ducks. When one
misses some ducks and is told by the
moorgywalla that a fish swallowed
them, one begins to think there can
really be no limit to the lies the Aryan
brother can tell. But early one morn
ing, soon after the ducks had been let
out and had as usual, made their way
to the tank, on one side of which
stands an indigo assistants bungalow,
the old khansama excitedly announced
that the big fish had just caught an
other duck and swallowed it and could
not keep down with it. The gun was
at once got hold of. and after watching
the antics of the fish trying to keep
down under water he was shot. He
proved to be large boali and had ac-
tually got the entire bird down, with
only the legs just showing in his
mouth

the big cat edged itself between the
thoroughly unnerved man and the door
Of the den, fixing its victim with two
rolling yellow orbs Of flaming ferocity
and saving the empty air with its tuft-

springing.
Many men among the audience, used
to the ways of wild beasts, saw and
comprehended. but only one man pos
sessed the knowledge and the presence
of mind to avert the apparently inevi-
table. Pursuing up his lips as though
he were going to whistle, he emitted a
horse, low, rasping hiss.
The beast heard and understood, for
the sound was an exact imitation Of
the noise made by the giant constructor
when it's huge body is coiled for the
throw that never misses, that never re-
lakes and that no beast of the field Is
strong enough to withstand. Again
and yet again the raucous sound rasp-

stiffened ON its back, and it covered,

with book learning and absolutely in

ing of the library had been completely

Money In SOiIed Linen.

ut is astonishing how careless peo-
pie are about sending clothes to laun-
dry without first searching them for
money and jewelry," said the manager
of a laundry the other day. "iester'
day Il woman sent bundle of dresses
here, and in the pocket of one was
$50 in bills. We never search cloth
ing for valuables. The dresses were
put in the washing machine, soap and
water put In, and after the machine
had been running half an hour 1t was
opened. and the man in charge was as
tonished to see paper money floating
around on the water. The bills had In
some manner worked out of the pocket
of the dress. and, strange to say, not
one of them was torn. We ran the
money through the drying machine
and then ironed each bill carefully.

when she came to the laundry she had
not yet missed her money.

Novel Chinese Clock.

1t must be conceded that in some
qualities Of primitive but practical re-
sourcefulness the Chinese are ahead Of
most civilized nations. All travellers
agree that If in a district where clocks
and watches are unknown you ask q
Chinaman the time of day he will, II
well disposed, at once proceed to am
buscade and capture the household cat,
and after pushing up the lids and look
ing for moment into its eyes he will
tell the time with astonishing accuracy.
The explanation is simple physio-
logical one. The pupils of the eats
eyes constantly contract until midday,
when they become like fine line. as
thin as hair, drawn perpendicularly
across the eyes. After II they begin
again to dilate. 1t is to be hoped that
If the practice is ever introduced into
this country watches and clocks will
continue to be made. as there will
probably be many who will not care to
run after cat whenever they want to
know the hour or who may fear some
danger to their own eyes from too close
an examination of hers.

Pigs and Savings Banks,

1t Is rather surprising fact consid-
ering how enormously they have grown,
that at the beginning Of the nineteenth
century there was not savings bank
In the world. The Rev. Henry Duncan,
rector of very poor English parish,
noticed that when the people wished to
lay by little money they would buy
pig or a COW with it, having no other
way to find investment for small sums.
He founded the arst real savings bank
in 1910. Two or three which had ex-
listed before that time were practically
charitable foundations.

A Russian paper gives an interesting
insight into the way they do things on
the Siberian railway.
A merchant recently sent a carload
OF fruit from Irkutsk TO Chita. The
railway charges were 100 rubles. but
the tips Ia railway officials amounted
TO i20 rubles more.
Tipping, or "greasing." as II is called
I'm Siberia. is a tax from which no pa
iron Of the railway Is exempt.
In the ease mentioned the first sta
ton master told the merchant that the
loaded car was sick" or disabled.
and would have TO he side tracked for
repairs.
How long will II take TO make the
repairsy" the merchant asked.
"Oh. week at least" was the an
swer.
The merchant started. for weeks
delay meant the spelling OF his cargo.
and. besides. IL was ordered for imme-
diate delivery. But when the fruit
dealer had slipped 10 or 10 rubles into
the officials hand the latter found that
the car was well enough to travel.
At the next station the car fell III
again and had to be restored to health
In the same manner. and this process
was repeated every time the train
stopped.
Local merchants have become used
to this ''greaslng" business and simply
add the amount TO the price of their
wares, so that the consumer pays the
freight and the tips as well.
