BOSTON'S GREAT RESERVOIR.
1t Has Been Planned to Provide for
the People of 1850

IN the selection of the site for BoS-
tons future reservoir it was necessary
to consider capacity and sparsity of pop
ulatiOn in the watershed. The capacitv
required, it was found after due calcula-
ton, must equal the needs of a population
estimated on January l, 1900, at ,1OO,-
ouU ana the natural increase until 1850
IN 1898 Boston was receiving some
54,OOO,OOO gallons of water daily. which
amount it was estimated, would have to
be increased to S4000,000 gallons daily
by 1898. 1t was calculated, based on
natural increase in population. that the
figures would reach 252,000,000 gallons
daily by the year 1890. This not only
provided for the increase in populations
but also the increased demand on the
part of each individual. 1t is true, Il
rather strange, that the progress of civil
iZation means an increase in use of wa
ter. The Statistician of the Metropolitan
water board finds that each individual
in the Metropolitan water district will
use ten more gallons daily in 1880 than
he does in 1900. The reason is not ex-
planned.
THE needed capacity ascertamed, it
was comparatively easy TO arrange the
details of the new reservoir on the site
selected above Clinton. The investigat-
ing commissioners found that by build
ing a permanent dam across the Nashua
river, just above the town of Clinton, and
by constructing bikes to the north and
south of the main dam, basin of 4195
acres, or over six square miles, could be
obtained. This, with an average depth
of forty-six feet, would hold 63,06S, 000,-
600 gallons of water.
1T does not require much perception
TO realize that such a reservoir exceeds
in vaStneSs and engineering greatness
anything before attempted. 1t exceeds
in capacity the Mira basin, near POona
Hindostan, by more than third. The
mammoth reservoir Tansa, in Bombay
and the Khadakvasia, at Poona, are left
still further behind. The next largest
reservoirs yet completed, the San Ma
teO, California, and the CrotOn, New
York could both be almost contained in

Had Relatives There.

In literary circles Robert Underwood
johnson, the magazine editor. is known
as a serious-minded man. He seldom
jokes, and that very fact gives point to
the following story, says the Saturday
Evening Post: A short time ago John
Luther Long, the Philadelphia novelist,
took lunchean with Mr.. johnson in New
York. and the conversation turned to the
peculiar conservatism of Philadelphia,
which leads persons who know nothing
of the life of the city to poke fun at it.
Il have no patience with such jibes"'
exclaimed Mr.. Johnson warmly. Il am
very fond of Philadelphia. It's de-
lightful community. You know | have
some relatives there"
Indeed" said Mr.. Long, at once in
terested.
Yes continued Mr.. Johnson; II have
quite a number of people over there BY
the way, where is st. Peters church 2"
Down at Third and Pine streets. in a
very old-fashioned neighborhood," re-
piled Mr. Long.
Il have lot of folks buried there in
the old churchyard,' said Mr.. Johnson,
without cracking smile.

NEW SYSTEM OF TELEGRAPHY,
Devices that Greatly Facilitate Long
Distance ommunication.

Unless humanity be provided with
something resembling instantaneous
transportation of solid substance the mail
will be too long in transit for the car
riage of thought. The telephone will be
too meager as to volume of matter which
can be transmitted. 1t seems probable,
therefore, that the telegraph will gradu-
ally absorb much of the present business
of the other two. and become the prln-
cipal channel of long distance commune
cation.
The machine telegraph in general use
at the present time is named Wheat
stone" In this device a paper tape is
penetrated by an operator. The perfora-
tions and the spacing of uncut paper be-
tween them serve, when passed through
the machine. to make and break an elec-
trio circuit in lieu of making and break
ing it by hand as is done in the Morse
system. At the receiving end the ma
chine shows dots and lines in ink upon
another paper tape.
\ new invention, called the Murray
Page Printer, is a system in which the
manipulation of typewriter keyboard
perforateS a paper tape. When this is
run through the telegraphing machine
there Is reproduced in Il paper tape at
the distant end of the circuit exact dupli-
Gates of the perforations fed in at the
sending end. This duplicate paper tape
may then be sent through another ma
chine which automatically translates into
| a page of printed characters.
The chemical telegraph also uses a per-
forated paper ribbon as a sending de
vice. but its received signals are made
upon 4 chemically prepared and moist
paper strip which forms part of an cleo
trict circuit. Whenever the current is
''on' its passage from a pen which rests
upon the receiving tape to another con-
nection with the moist paper (which lat
ter connection completes the circuit
causes discolorations which may be made
TO take the form of the dots and dashes

William Smith, who died at North At
tleboro, Mass, the other day, player a
most important role in the Civil war
and in history, his name is blazoned on
pages with those of other naval heroes
The deceased was quartermaster on the
Kearsarge under Capt John Winslow.
He was in charge of the pivot gun ON the
quarterback of the Kearsarge on Sun
day, June 10, 1864, during the memorable
engagement with the Alabama. Acting
under orders, Smith made target of the
Alabama's water line, and did such fine
work as to cause the sinking of the mer-
chant destroyer. Smiths gun crew
stood exposed to the fire of the Alabama
crew, but all escaped. Capt. Raphael
Semmes offered fabulous sums to the
crew Chat would silence the pivot gun on
the Kearsarge, but Smith and his brave
squad could not be displaced.
