r1ore Election Districts.

ECTICN eleven OF Article VIII
of the state constitution pro-
vides that "townshipS and
wards Of cities or bOroughs
shall fnm or be divided into election
districts of compact and contiguous
territory in such manner as the court
of quarter sessions of the city or coun-
~ in which the same may he shall
direct: hui districts in cities of over
100 900 intabitants shall be divided by
the courts OF quarter sessions having
jurisdiction therein whenever at the
next preceding election more than 250
yotes shall have been polled therein
At the recent election forty of the
81 districts in the city of Scranton
polled for president more than $50 ball
lots. In many cases tho election
boards had to sit until 9 o'clocl;
in the morning to compute the re-
turns. In a few cases the count had
not been completed by daylight. This
not only represented (: great hardship
to the election officers but lit also left
the entire public in suspense during
a time of intense interest sin the re-
suit.
The foregoing extract from the con-
stitution being mandatory and Scran-
ton now coming within its provisions,
the next election will therefore witness
the creation of at least 40 new city dis.
tricts. with q corresponding increase
of election officers and Fastening of
the count.

The hold up of a number of John
Alexander Dowie's English lace maxi
ers at Philadelphia seems to be an
other instance of the fact that the con-
tract abor laws are generally enforced
at the wrong time. 1t is to be re-
gretted, in view of the many ignorant
and restless foreigners who are land
ing in this country daily, equipped to
become flrebrands of discomfort, that
laws exist which will prevent even
temporarily the landing of people who
will become desirable citizens.

A TroopahIu,, water supply.

The ships ordinary supply would be to-
tally inadequate for the requirements of,
say, 1000 troops besides horses,s but the
difficulty is overcome with the aid Of q
good condensing apparatus. From the
tanks into which the water is condensed
(about 225 tons and upward day. extra
iron pipes are run to suitable positions
on the different decks, and draw off cocks
are fixed. Under the cocks for supplying
the horses tubs are placed into which the
water is run. In the soldiers quarters
small pipes are fixed, and the supply is
taken from spring cocks, the amount al
lowed being usually six pints head q
day, except when the vessel is in the
tropics, when one gallon head is al
lowed.
To provide against any breakdown of
the condenser portable iron tanks holding
about 400 gallons each are placed in the
lower holds and filled. Lift pumps are
then fixed fore and aft on the main deck.
and the suction pipe from the pumps is
taken down close to these tanks and fin
ished with n union, on to which rubber
suction hose is screwed, and led to each
tank as required. A rising main taken
from pump is turned down and run paral-
lei with the main supply and finished at
the same points.-Building World.

The alarming fatality from lockjaw

treme need for radical treatment of these
wounds, even the most insignificant. Such
wounds are either penetrating or lacerat-

tons for infection, and the hand or foot
Of the victim Is usually begrimed with
dirt. especially from the earth. Tetanus
is an infectious disease due to the action
Of a microbe and although one Of The
most fatal diseases is probably one Of the
most easily preventabie in many cases.
The wound should be thoroughly
cleansed and drained us only good sur.
geon or physician can do il and never by
amateurs or according to household meth
DDS. Cauterization in these cases is II
pernicious practice, because it makes IL
crust over the wound and thus prevents
free drainage. In other words. II effectu-
ally imprisons the microbes and thus pro-
notes infection.

kindness to animals and birds was nearly
divine. "Dogs loved him; pigeons fol-
