department about ten years. I had charge of the Nellie R. Raps engine, which was stationed at First avenue and Twentieth street. I had operated the engine for an hour or an hour and half when the valve slipped and the engine became disabled. I went to see the chief and when got back the engine had been disconnected from the plug. Water was passing through the en- zine when I left. l was gone about thirty minutes, and when I returned the big steamer was there. I don't know how long the water ran through the little engine be- fore it was disconnected. After closed the engine down I noticed the water was not as good as usual. saw this by the gauge on the engine. The resistance water meets in passing through an engine is not enough to affect the pressure very much. The gauge on the engine registered about 45 pounds at that time. After noticing the weak pressure I ordered one of the men to throw the plug wide open, and he went and tried to turn 1t, but could not do so. While the engine was running had plenty of water. After tho Nellie R. Raps was repaired it was taken to First avenue and Nineteenth street." ] B. Steiner, of Steiner Bros, bankers-"I have an elevator in my building at First avenue and Twenty first street, and the pipe that supplies it is joined to the main in First avenue. I was in the elevator sev- efal times during the fire, and it seemed to nave plenty or water. ulunt nOtlce any di,minution of the pressure"
 Erskine Ramsey, chief engineer and as- siS tant general manager of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company, was in- troduced by the water works company. Hds testimony related to technical points, such as friction, pressure at different attitudes, deposits of sediment in the pipe etc. He said: q have charge of construction and maintenance of water systems for the com- pany furnaces. The loss of pressure by req son of friction would be oil pounds to the thousand feet of a 3e-inch main and 1.507 pounds to the thousand feet of a 24 inch main. The reservoir having an eleva- tion of 220 feet and there being 16,000 feet of 3O-inch main and 7.524 feet of A-inch main, the pressure at First avenue and TweEIty second street would be 95ls pounds"
 At 6:30 the committee adjourned until { o'clock this afternoon.

A WONDERFUL WATCH.
oVs in Maryland Known as a MatiIe, Which Aroused Mark Twain'S
 Admirat ton.

What is perhaps the moat wonderful watch In the world is In the possesi sion of resident of Prince Gregory county, Maryland, says the Washington
 Times.
 This remarkable timepiece, known as the Matile watch, from the name of it's maker, was made at Looe, Switzerland, about 40 years ago. It formed feature of the Swiss exhibit at the centennial held at Philadelphia in 1876, and was purchased on that occasion by it's present owner. A description of the watch by Mark Twain tS. L. Clemens) is as remarkable for accuracy az it is humorous. The well-known writer thus gives his impressions of the mar velous piece of mechanism:
 II have examined the wonderful watch made by Fl. L. Matile, and. in. deed' it comes nearer to being human being than any piece of mechanism ever saw before.' In fact, it knows considerably more than the average voter. It knows the movements of the moon, and keeps exact record of them; it tells the day of the week the date of the month. and the month of the year. and will do this perpetually: it tells the hour of the day, and the minute, and the second. and even splits the second into flfths, and marks the division by stop hands, having two of the latter; it can take accurate care of two race horses that start. not to- gether, but one after another; it is q repeater (wherein the voter is sug- gested again), and musically chimes the hour, the quarter, the half and the three e-quarter hour, and also the min utesi that have passed of an uncom- pleted quarter-hour, so that blind man can tell the time of day by it to the exact minute.
 Such is this extraordinary watch. It ciphers to admiration. I should think one could add another whee! and make it read and write. still another and make it talk; and think one might take out several of the wheel. that are already in it and it would still be more intelligent citizen than some that help to govern the country On the whole, I think it is entitled to vote that is, if its sex is of the right kind"
 The watch was sold for $1, 400, and 1t is still performing its complex functions with the greatest regularity.

FROM RATTLESNAKR.
Al0 from UsinE His TaR0s ca q Boy.

Otto Doetchsr, . 14.yesr-old boy em- ployed in the office of F. J. Young, manager of the National Mercantile company, of Toledos O., had a terrible experience with .rattlesnake while visiting at the home of . relative near White House. JE
 He desired to 60 out and get, some frogs in the ponds which are located on the farm where hs wac visiting. While walking. along ths bank he stumbled and fell, and as he was fali- ing he saw huge snake under him. IL was lying in the sun and wss stretched out its full length.
 His body had hardly struck the ground and he had just discovered the reptile when he heard the snake rat. tie, and second later the reptile coiled itself and raised its head slight. ly into the air, showing its poisoning tangs. A man who had been out hunt ing happened along and saw the boy and his predicsment. He decided upon his action at once. and raising the gun to his shoulder fired at the reptiles head. His aim was good and the snakes head fell to the ground. The boy was badly frightened, and could barely reaoh the home of his relatiysa. 10
 The hunter secured the rattles on the snakes tail and now has them in his possession. There were 37 of them, and this would indicate that the snake was 30 years of age, as they are supposed to accumulate rattles at the rate of one each year after they have reached the age of three years.

Cochise review., 1900-11-06

Owing to an error, the attendance for last month was reported in excess of what it should have been. However, the attendance for the first two months of this year exceeds that of the first two months of last year by 3s.S. This is substantial gain, and will probably meet the expectations of those who have given the matter thought. This increase is sufficient to i'll the new room which was fitted up at the begin. ming of the year. .,.f
 The feature of the report to be most regretted Is the number of cases of tar. diness. It is hoped that this habit may be largely overcome in the near future. There is no doubt but that 1t can if the efforts of the teachers are met by the cooperation of the parents.
 Our library has now been open for three weeks, and 1l3 volumes have been drawn by the pupils for home reading. The library is entirely too small to meet the needs of the school It is impossible to keep all the pupils supplied with suitable books for their outside reading. A plan by which our library may be enlarged will soon be presented to the people of the town for their consideration. We hope that it will enlist their hearty support.
