TALLEST X
X CHIMNEY ,

Experience has SHOWN that the
height of factory chimneys is not alone
dependent on how much smoke or
other special poisonous gases have
to be removed by it. On the contrary
it is essential that chimney, especial
ly when 1t has to remove poisonous
and other detritus products of com
bustion containing dangerous and un-
healthy poison, not alone for human
beings, but for plants as we'll is to be
constructed to such height that the
escaping gases produce no harm, es-
pecially at chemical factories and gas
works, where, in most cases. the poi
sonous and dangerous products of
combustion escape before they enter
the flue, thus demanding frequently
and costly construction which is Of
ten found impossible to carry out.
After the experience of today, an out
let height of about 800 feet above the
level is considered sufficient to pre-
vent harmful action to plant life, as
wellas the interference with the health
of people living in the vicinity of the
chimney. Should this territory be sur
rounded with wooded heights, it is
well to increase in the same ratio the
height of the chimney. In rolling or
billy country the outlet of the chin
ney must be placed at least 800 feet
above the highest point of the sur
rounding hills; a chimney in the val
ley would, in consequence Of this great
height, cost so much that 1t is cheaper

Cab Service in
Germany.

have spent most of the summer in
Germany, says a returned American,
and l am convinced that the Germans
perhaps more than any other peple'
have solved the problem of living.
Without going into the details of good
cooking, open air life, good hotels,
cleanliness, cheapness and general
comfort, there is one thing about Ger
man cities that appeals to me. The
especial object of resentment and OBJ
lection that l cherish in this country
is the American cabman and his ex-
orbit&nt prices. In London and Paris
the tariff for the employment of cabs
is more or less clearly defined, but
still disputes may arise. In Germany,
however, they have solved the prob
lem absolutely They have attached
to every cab, carriage or public We
hicle sort of automatic arrangement
on the box directly behind the driver,
and in plain sight of the passenger. 1t
explains upon its face that it registers
the tariff for the hire of the vehicle.
When you get in the wagon the driver
adjusts this register. If any baggage
is carried the face of the register pro-
claims how much he is allowed for
every piece of luggage, and he rings
it up before he starts. Then the tax
imeter is attached to the wheels of the
wagon in some way, so that every rev.
olution of the wheel is registered. In
stead of registering the distance gone,
or the number Of the revolutions of the
wheel, the taximeter registers the
charge for the distance gone 1t
changes in 10 pfennig jumps. Ten
pfennigs in our money is about "a
cents. The result is that a person is
charged about ~ cents for every
eighth Of mile. The machines an
absolute and accurate. and the work
ings are so open that even the most
obtuse can realize the fairness Of It.
This is spoken OF merely as hint to
tho municipal authorities Of the va
rious American cities In control OF

Cleaning windows with snails.

An old colored woman selling snaiia
occasionally makes her appearance in
certain streets here, says Philadel-.
phia paper. She carries an old basket.
in which the snails repose on freshly
sprinkled leaves. These are not sold
as food, but for cleaning the outside
of window panes-an old practice still
in vogue in Kensington. The snail is
dampened and placed upon the glass.
where it at once moves around and
devours all insects and foreign matter.
leaving the pane as bright and clear
as crystal. There are old-established
business places in Kensington where
the upper windows, when cleaned at
all, are always cleaned by snails, There
is also fine market for snails among
the owners of aquariums, as they keep
the glass clean and bright.

this country. The case is bound to
come on, and /, of course, shall have
to undertake the prosecution. Doctor
Lyndon, who-who is an old friend,
and, as have told you, specialist In
brain diseases, has suggested to me
the likelihood of the mans being in
sane, and, in fact, having committed
the crime as the result of that terrible
form of lunacy which is recognized as
such under the name of kleptomania.
If we can prove this, we shall save
Gerard from punishment. and he win
simply be put under restraint as in

treatment thousands of people would

wild license for charging that the

CHAPTER ".

lence listening to the full, rich voice
of Sir Henry-that voice which went
so far in convincing juries-as he re-
lated the chief points of the case. He
remembered it, though the particulars
had passed from his memory long
since
But as Sir Henry went on, strange,
formless doubts, and half-formed
ideas began to float dimly through
Pauls mind like the dark, shadowy
forms of bats fitting through some
darkened and deserted barn. He could
hardly formulate them, or give them
name in his own mind; but they dis
turbed him vaguely, and filled him
with a strange foreboding.
When at last he raised his face,
which had been bent over his fruit
plate, his eyes fell first. not on Sir
Henry's face, but on that of Doctor
Lyndon, whose cold, grey eyes were
fixed on him with strange, expect
ant expression. There was some
thing in it which sent curious
shudder through Enderby; yet he felt
tated the next moment at his own
a.. I'd sentimentality.
He turned to Sir Henry.
you are more than good, Sir Hen
ry. | do not know how | can thank
you for your generosity in thinking
of me. OF course, you can count on
me, If you think am able to under
take the responsibility"
There is no rising young barrister
at the bar today to whom l would
sooner trust the conducting of the
case, than to you, Enderby," said Sir
Henry, graciously II have very
high opinion Of your talents"
Enderbys heart beat high as he re-
Joined Cecil in the drawing room. This
would be the making of him. If he
conducted the case efficiently his for
tune was made. and he would then
be able to ask Cecil to come to him
as his own. Somehow he felt pretty
