s------- LONDON'S WATER.
Comparisons to Show the Volume of
 It's Daily Consumption.

Comparisons to Show the Volume of
 It's Daily Consumption.
 In 1894 the astounding total of I92,- 100000 gallons a day was reached by the combined water companies of Lon don, says Good Word. This was sup piled to the five and half million in- habitants at the rate of, say, thirty two gallons head for all purposes. These figures represent an eno. nous volume of water, though small when compared with the mighty river that flows into old Rome. We een only deal with the figures roughly; the sup ply fuctuates to a considerable degree at different times in the. year; 1t is, therefr e, not possible to be mathemat- ically accurate. Allowing for slight increase since the last return, and talk ing in other sources, to which 1 shall refer little later, we may pretty safe- ly put the present London water sup ply at about 200,000,000 gallons day. Let us try for moment to realize what these figures mean. With 200,- 000,000 gallons of water we could fill lake mile long, quarter of mile wide and five feet deep. The water in it would weigh nearly million tons. This lake would stretch from the Bank of Church, yet 1t would be emptied in single day to assuage the thirst Of London. Or suppose we could freeze all this water, we could build up a great block of ice thousand feet long, a thousand feet wide and thirty-tWo feet high. If we allow for the ex- pansion of freezing, the block would, of course, be still larger Sixty-fiye of the largest ironclads in the British navy could float in the water we use every day in London. When we come to compare our supply with the mighty torrent of Niagara we belittle it. The water goes laundering over the falls at the rate of two million tons min ute, or four hundred and twenty mil lion gallons. Our whole daily supply would be whirled over long before the second hand of watch would have travelled once round the dial. And could we divert the magnificent tor rent for only three hours we could SUD- ply London with water for whole year at the present rate. Niagara is a big thing.

Ben Nevis and It's Observatory.

In the current number of Knowledge MT. Bruce gives an account of Ben Nevis and Its Observatory" The ob- ject of this observatory is to study the height of clouds, their speed, direction and constitution, and to learn as much as possible regarding temperature, winds, etc. It Is a true scientific in- stinct that leads us to sound, as it were, upward, just as we sound down ward and explore at the bottom of the sea. The reasons why Ben Nevis, of all places, was most suitable were: CD Because it was the highest mountain in the British isles, rising to 4,406 feet. (2) it's summit was in close horizontal proximity to sea-level station at Fort William; f3) 1t was situated in the track of the southewest storms, which influence so greatly the weather of Europe, especially in autumn and win tor

And Mild Tobacco Satisfy the Desires
 of Japanese Smokers.
 Washington Starr You may have noticed that the Japanese who visit America are very moderate smokers" said prominent Japanese now travel ing In the United States. Those of my countrymen who indulge in the weed mostly smoke cigarettes or preferably the smallest pipes filled with the mild est tobacco ohtainabie. Of course, there are Japanese who, like some Americans, have such craving for to- baceo that nothing less than the strongest cigar or the largest pipe will satisfy them. But such smokers are exceptionally few among the Japanese. As rule, my countrymen. while at home and abroad. are satisfied with short smokes, such as cigarette or tiny pipe affords. The Japanese are moderate smokers, pot So much be- cause they are suiail people, but for <he reason that up to within recent years but very little tobae 70 came into Japan and the tariff on 1t was very high. Being poor bat frugal race, the masses purchased only 1iE,ited quantities of the weed, which, as mat ter of economy, they have for genera tions been taught to smoke in only the tiniest of pipes. These pipes, the most popular of which hold about as much tobacco as would fill an ordinary thim- bic, are the survival of the days when money was scarce. tobacco dear and the tariff high. In another generation or two, when Japan shall have taken her place among the wealthy nations of the world, my eountrymen will no doubt smoke large quantities Of tobac- co, and then the small pipes will be abandoned for big ones, such as Eng lishmen and Americans now smoke"

FIRST RAILROAD IN CHINA.
Went Around the Towns Instead of
 Through Them.

MT Wu. the present Chinese minis ter at Washington, has many amusing stories to tell of the first railroad ever built in the celestial kingdom, which was constructed under his supervision In the province of Tong Chong. where u Hung Chang reigned as viceroy, says the Saturday Evening Pose. Curi- ously enough, this road was built with out the consent of the emperor, with out his knowledge even, the pr iectors realizing that they must educate their eeuntrymen, from the highest to the lowest. by an object lesson. The road onee in operation, they argued. the e, z as lerstanding it was wonder l.. servant of commerce, and not 8 grea; devil; that it carried freight bet ter ald quicker than the old-fashionec way, and would bind the uttermost parts of their kingdom together, would no longer oppose it. It's establishment, however was missionary work of a different character, even to so saga eious diplomat as MT. Wu, and, though he succeeded in overcoming the prejudice to a certain extent, he failed utterly to gain consent that the road should run through the towns and villages that marked it's route "No, no," said the leading men of those places; build your road if you must, but keep it away from us-the farther the better" Well, we'll" said Wu, ehave 1t as you will. We will run our road at a distance from your limits, but you will regret 1t for all time; and when you realize what serious harm you have done to your own in- terests don't come and insist upon our moving the road nearer your borders" The railroad was hardly in operation before the men who had opposed 1t be- sought him to change it's route that 1t might come by their towns and cities; but the management was obdurate, and Tong Chung received a most whole some lesson. -sssass < sssis Asssl VI ,ess. .jgs

fractured near the thigh in peculiar
manner while at work on a scraping
machine at the Rock Island broom
works this morning. He was turning
the crank on the machine, when the
velocity became too great for him to
manage it, and in an attempt to stop
the machine, the handle caught his

ing the fracture. He was removed to
St. Anthony's hospital, where DR.. De

=. Ny Dear Boy-You say that you have
read Mr. Bryan Aspeech ut indianapolis
and that there are some things in it that
appear to be reasonable
Well. Mr.. Bryan is a very pleasant
speaker aud can make a plausible show
ing when he has very VT K case. lie
is a clever. respectable gentleman who
learns his bread by the sweat Of his
jaw" aud he has learned his trade very
well. But let me call your attention to
few solid facts FOR you to consider be-
fore you feel inclined TO yield your mind
to his brilliant generalities about impe-
rialism.
/. Mr.. Bryan's record proves him to
be an unsafe leader. He is a theorist
rather than practical man of affairs.
In every campaign in the past and upon
every issue heretofore presented to the
people for settlement Mr.. Bryan has
been mistaken The results have proved
that he was mistaken. The natural pre-
sumption il that he Is mistaken now
When a Democratic Congressman and
also a Populist leader in 1892. Mr.. BRYAN
was very sure that free trade was the
thing needed to insure prosperity in the
United States lie was sure that the
''robber tariff was making it hard for
the farmer and the wage Garner to liYe
He and those who believed as he did
sNcceeded in convincing the people. and
the Wilson bill, free trade measure. was
adopted and became law. Three years
of bitter experience proved that Mr.
Bryan and his friends were mistaken.
Factories were closed laboriug men were

Of the farm brought no adequate return

this free trade bin was the law.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan and his Democratic
Poputist following dropped the tariff is.

Of free silver. During that campaign he
declared that il the free coinage Of sill

ed il 4 gold standard continued 10 be
the law and became the fixed policy Of
the country, that prices will gn down is
as certain as the law Of gravitation.'
that the rich will grow richer AMI the
poor poorer" that there will .be a de.
crease in the amount Of money in circula-
tom" tina, the army Of the unemployed
viii continue to increase"
Results have proved that Mr.. Bryan
was again mistaken. Every one OF his
predictions turned out 10 he false. We
have now a protective tariff and the gold
standard law. Prices have gone up in
stead Of down, while the rich have grown
richer, the poo~ have shared in the gen.
eral prosperity. the amount Of money in
circulation has largely increased. aud Ia.
Dor was never more generally employed
nor more adequately rewarded than now.
Is ii not fair 70 presume that the gen
tleman who has always been mistaken
upon every other leading issue is mlstak-
en- about Imperialism, which he declares
