gentleman named Adams has been
investigating the mysteries of the pyr-

has found the phrase, Hip, hip hur-

that country.
The only consolation derivable from
this remarkable discovery is the argu-

that the presence of these British words

STRANGE STORY OF A MACHINE.
McNulty Indicted For Carrying it
OF and Acquitted Yesterday.

John CcNu1ty whose appearance gave
no Indication of extraordinary physical
strength, was tried in the General Ses-
srons Court yesterday on an allegation
that he stole a riveting machine weighing
seven TONS 1t was not contended that
the defendant carried the machine away
in his vest pocket, but it disappeared and
the State tried to hold MoNulty respon-
siJble for its disappearance.
The machine had been operated in
Hugh Leshe's boiler shop in Plymouth
street, but had been discarded and placed
out ON the street N1c,Nulty saw it there
and presuming that nobody owned it he
and a man named George w. Harrington
went over to Richard McAnerny's junk
shop. No. M South street, Brooklyn, and
negotiated for the sale of the machine.
McNulty had done business with Nc
Anerny before. On this occasion he in
troduced Harrington as customer; Har-
chine over in Jersey City that he was
willing to sell cheap. He described the
machine and MoAnerny offered to give
him $3.50 for it. The transaction was closed
at that figure and McAnerny's son and
partner paid Harrington $40 on account.
MdNulty was to get his compensation in
the shape of commission from McAnerny
for bringing him a customer.
The next morning the elder AfcAnerny
came over to this city with three big
trucks and gang of men. Then men pro-
ceeded to break up the machine under the
direction of McAnerny. They worked all
day in full view of the Leslie shop and
were not interrupted, if seen ait all In
the evening the sections of the machine
were loaded I'D on the trucks and carted
away to Brooklyn.
This occurred ca December 15 The
owners of the machine missed it few
days later and notified the police The
detectives traced the stolen property to
Brooklyn and arrested McNulty, but were
unable to find Harrington. McNulty was
indicted and brought into this State on
requisition.
There was no evidence produced at the
trial that the defendant did anything in
the transaction except introduce Harring-
ton ITO McAnerny; His. counsel, Joseph
M. Noonan, asked the Court to direct a
verdict of acquittal. Assistant Prosecutor
Van Wrinkle made some objection, but
Judge Blair decided that there was not
sufficient evidence to convict the defen-
dant and directed his acqufttal. Mr.
Noonan declared that it was a gross out
rage on Justice ito indict McNulty on such

Men the First Pint Was

Over two hundred members of the

clubhouse, where they heard very good
lecture on Liquid Air. arranged by the
officers Of the club, and delivered by the
pioneer In that field, Mr. Milan w. Hall,
of New York City. In tlAreception room.
where the lecture was delivered, long
table was arranged in the centre of the
floor, upon which rested the numerous ar
ticles which the lecturer used for his
experiments
Mr. Hall brought seven gallons of the
liquid air with him. in small milk cans,
which were placed inside an ash can,
with sealed top, the lids of the milk
cans being perforated. He said, when
asked the temperature of the air in the
cans, that it was fully 3l2 degrees below
zero. He showed the effect liquid air had
on steak, potatoes and pieces of rubber;
becoming hard and brittle. He then told
the only objects it did not seem to az
feet, namely, leather and sheet lead. He
gave a very interesting exhibition or
freezing glass of alcohol. He then
spoke of the first discovery of liquid air
about twenty-five years ago. AT that
time its cost was about $1,000 for the
first pint. Now it can be bought for ten
cents gallon. The lecture was high
ly interesting one and it greatly pleased
the members.

DELINQUENTS PAY
Threat to Shut Off Water on
February 5 Crowds the
Tax Office.
MONEY POURS IN
East Jersey Will Be Paid But
Jersey City Has No Fear
of Suit.

The announcement that the city would
shut off the water supply on February
to those who are in arrears of wafer
rent, kept the water Office busy yester-
day receiving money. There is no appre-
hension that the East Jersey Water Com
pany's bill of S2S5,171 will not be paid Off
within a month at least
THE East Jersey Company" said a
prominent official this morning, 'will have
to wait. There is more outstanding ar
rears than the amount due to the COM
pany and when that money comes in the
bill will be paid"
DO you think the company will sue?,
he was asked.
Not bit of it, they know better. Their
contract is none too solid at that and I
am of opinion that if we tried in the
courts it wouldn't stand and the company
knows it. Anyhow, Jersey City owns the
money and it will be paid, only however,
when we get good and ready. The COM
pany needn't use threats, they won't
work.
Yesterday the water department paid off
$4,000 of interest on water bonds, and in
the water account treasury there is
about $25,000 to meet the East Jersey Water
Company's little bill of $2S5, 1.64. The coli
lection on arrearages yesterday amounted
to about $780, and since the notification
about the cutting off of the supply to de-
hnquent payers on February s, it is ex-
pected the collection will increase up to
the time mentioned. The prompt action of
the Commissioners of the Street and Wa
ter Board, concurred in by the Finance
Board and approved by the Mayor, has
been unusually commended, and DIS soon
as convenient the meter question will be
changed from the theory to that of the
condition stage.
Mayor Hoos, who has always advocated
putting in meters in private buildings,
says that the waste of water complained
of would in a great measure stop. Chief
Engineer Van kelfren is preparing re-
port as to the cost of metering the entire
city. He thinks that it would mean cost
of about s4500O0. His report is expected in
a few days.

CLOSE YOUR FAUCETS !!
Precaution Against Frozen
Pipes Wastes 100000
Gallons Daily.

The good housewife who leaves the
water running all night and day lest it
should freeze in the pipes doesn't know
perhaps that she is contributing to a
waste of 100000 gallons of water daily.
This is a serious matter" said Chief
Engineer Van Keuren today, when talk
ing about the water question: "and it may
lead to very disastrous results. You know
our supply is iimited and this reckless
waste of water is as uncalled for as it is
costly to the city. Some people evidently
are possessed with the idea that we get
that water for nothing. Should this waste
continue and increase at the same ratio
1t has done for some days past, house
holders must not grumble If they find that
there is a scarcity of water. For the past
few days the waste has risen from four
to five million gallons daily, and that
means the city loses about $3.50 per day
So you see what that means even from
a financial point of view"
