A gentleman who has had a
great deal to do with securing for
the city the present water plant,
which seems to be sorely trying the
council to make it an acceptable
institution, said this morning that
there was not sufficient water to be
had with the present power to run
many water motors that the sup
ply was not sufficient. If such is
the case, the city certainly has been
hoo-dooed, There should be suffi>
cient water power to run hundred
small motors in the city. If there
is hardly sufficient water to be had
for the present supply and what is
contemplated, what will be the re-
suit in several years hence7 This
plant Just constructed was guaran-
teed to furnish a supply Of water for
the next ten years. If it is troubled
to furnish water supply now for
a few small motors, then is the city
in sore strait.

Canal. On other Pl.nets.

1t is now suggested that exactly sim
liar arrangements of canals to those
observed on Mars are also to be seen
on Jupiter, Venus. Mercury, and on two
of Jupiter's moons. There is. says
writer in knowledge, a startling re-
semblance between some early draw
ings of Mars and recent diagrams OF
Jupiter, and the theory Is gaining
ground that the canals are representa-
tive of nothing which actually exists
on the planets observed, but that they
are nothing more than an optical IL
lusion due to imperfections in the
human sight or in the instruments
made to assist it. That the canals"
were discovered after the opposition
of 1877, the most favorable period for
observation, during which. however,
they were only suspected, that they are
sharpest with colored screens and
comparatively small apertures, while
in the great Lick and Washington tele-
scopes they have been seen either as
diffused markings or not at all, suggest
that the fine lines are simply a mode
under which faint markings may pre-
sent themselves to imperfect vision.

The committee which examined
the reservoir had very little to say
on their return from an investiga-
ton Of that place. That they found

is very little to say. All the con-

which the city should never have
paid and which it doubtless never
would have paid for had not several

BURNING OF THE TEMPLE.

Chinese affairs are in that pecu>
liar condition where trivial incidents
may have grave consequences
while events of far greater import
Sance in themselves may be lost
sight Of in the rapidly changing
conditions OF the times. This fact
must be borne in mind in consider
ing the burning of the empress
palace, recently occupied as the
headquarters Of the German com'
mander>in>chief.
That the fire was Of incendiary
origin seems altogether probable,
and nothing is more likely than
hat some Chinaman or even band
of conspirators, stung by the intol>
cradle insult of the occupation OF
the sacred building by the foreign
ers should have set fire to it with
the hope Of causing the death OF
some of the aliens. Certainly the
incident will not tend to improve
the temper Of the Germans, and it
it should be established that it was
the work OF incendiaries there
would doubtless be another big ADJ
dition to the indemnity list.
But the attention Of the allies
will be chiefly directed towards the
effect it may have in delaying the
return OF the empress to the capital.
If the court could not return as
long as their official residence was
in the hands Of the foreigners, how
will it be possible for them to come
back to the heap Of smoking ruins
that marks the site Of the imperial
palace7 Here is certainly cause
tor delay, and delay is positive
virtue in the eyes Of the orientals.
But the importance Of the burn
ing Of the palace is not to be found
in the event itself or in anything
that may be predicted from this
basis. There is no use in guess
ing what the Chinese will do.
When they get ready to come back
to Peking they will come, and if
they do not care to come back
they will remain away. And if
anyone knows more about it than
that, the knowledge has not yet
been made known to the public
through the press dispatches.-Col>

Whera Men kiss Men.

relatives with gusto that would do
credit to q set of boarding school
girls. Boarding school girls in this
country in fact would show very much
less gusto. Opposed as the American
temperament seems to be to kissing
between men, however, 1t does seem
as though there ought TO be some way
of expressing emotion between a hand
clasp and kiss. Individuals differ in
their attitude toward the kiss Just as
do races-it being largely a matter OF
temperament. There are grown men
who confess to have never omitted a
good morning and good night kiss to
their fathers so long as the two dwelt
under the same roof. But the temper
Of the American people is against it,

The Conquest of Korea,

Seventeen centuries ago the Japan
ese Emperor Chuai was playing his
Lutte in the presence of his wife and
prime minister. Whether on account
of the music or from some other cause,
the empress became inspired with a
divine affiatus and began to utter the
thoughts put into her mind by the
deity. There is a land to the west
ward" she exclaimed, "and in that
land is abundance of treasure, gold
and silver, dazzling to look upon. This
land | will now bestow upon you"
The emperor pushed away his Lutte
''If you go up to high place and look
toward the west, said he, " there is no
land to be seen, but only the great
waters. They are lying spirits who
have spoken to you"
Then the god was filled with anger,
and again he moved the empress to
prophesy. You are not fit" she said,
ITO rule this empire. Go the one
road"
But the prime minister trembled
when he heard these words, and said to
his master, IL am troubled, my heav-
emily sovereign, by this terrible mes
sage. Continue, pray, to play the
august Lutte"
The emperor Chuai commenced to
play softly; gradually the sound died
away; all was still. They held light
to his face and saw that he was dead.
But the empress put hersAf at the
head of his fleet, invaded the land of
gold and silver with her warriors, and
soon made the three kingdoms Of
Korea tributary to Japan.
These things happened. we are told.
in the year POI A. D., and the story Of
the valiant empress is as familiar to
a Japanese as is that of Boadicea O

Rides . Hobby Horse and sIssbss ~ .
Turks Head.

Not only has the cavalry soldier to
acquire the art Of remaining in a sad
dle--he has also to learn how, when in
that position, to attack or defend him
self against his adversary. To this
branch of his instruction an innovation
recently introduced into the French
army has added zest hitherto only
conspicuous by it's absence.
The old system consisted in making
each soldier in turn mount a roughly
constructed wooden horse and make
series of passes and cuts with lance
or saber at sort of Turks head
mounted on a wooden stand and
placed at certain invarlable distance
from him. He could hardly miss 1t IL
he tried. and as it is only madmen
who can derive any sort of pleasure
from thrashing an unresponsive dunn
my. It is not surprising to hear that
the exercise passed for being one of
the most monotonous and disagreeable
in the whole course of instruction.
Thanks to NJ. Monlun. adjutant and
drill instructor of the Third Dragons
of the French army. all this has been
changed. and the recruits now like
nothing better.
The horse in itself. IL little neater
in appearance, is still only made of
wood as before. but the Turks head
representing the enemy has been mira.
culously endowed with life and rem
dered as mobile as quick silver. or as
Boer commando. The soldier can
never tell on which side of him it is
going to make its appearance next. or
whether it will sweep around him in
front or at his back. He cannot trans
fix 1t as formerly with mathematical
precision when and where he will, but
must keep all his faculties on the alert
to touch It at all.
The principle of the arrangement is
simple. BY turning a small hand
wheel at the extreme back of the ap-
paratus a simple contrivance of dou-
BILE cogwheels causes the rods carrying
round the horse as centre. The di.
rection or rate of speed may be varied
at the will of the instructor. the diff
culties being graduated according to
the skill OF the soliier.
The use of the invention bids fair
to become general not only in the
French cavalry. but in other countries
as well. the simplicity Of its construc-
tion making 1t an acquisition by no
means costly-somethlng under $50, it
is said.-Pearson' Magazine.

Gas Stove s'DoD'ts ~

Don't buy a small gas stove unless
your family consists of two persons.
A four-hole stove. with a top about
"a inches square. Is so serviceable
that 1t pays whether family be large
or small. Such q stove costs only S12.
See that the stove you buy has an at
tachment for lighting the oven from
the outside. 1t is much superior to
and safer than the old method of
reaching in with a match.
Don't try to bake beans, beef la
mode or such dishes as need long
hours of slow cooking. in gas stove.
1t is cheaper to buy them. Never put
two dishes such as pie and molasses
cookies to bake at the same time.
They need very different heat, and
the cookies would be burned black
long before the pie was ready. You
can simmer corned beef or soup as
slowly on gas stove as on the back
of a coal range. Every good gas stove
has a simmerer. 1t consumes the
smallest imaginable amount of gas
and can be left INTENDED safely for
hours half turned to cook the soup
stock or to keep a double boiler at
steam heat. Don't burn gas when the
flame is red, or when 1t blows. Turn
it out, let the gas flow a few seconds
and relight. The fame must burn
blue to do good service; If it is red
the cooking utensils will get smoked
black.-Good Housekeeping.

Shifts OF Arctic SeaiA

Lake Baikal Is a remarkable body of
water lying in longitudinal trough
on the edge of the central Asiatic pla-
the sea with which it is connected by
the Yenisei river after flowing across
the northern plains of Siberia for a
distance OF 1000 miles. A most curl
Gus fact, long known to scientific men,
is that this lake Is occupied by spe-
cies of seal almost identical with those
found in the Arctic ocean. The same
species, with slight variations are also
found in the Caspian sea, but not any
where else along the 5000 or 1000
miles which separate these bodies of
water. The most probable explanation
Of this fact, and the one usually ac-
cepted by scientific men Is that these
species of seal were thus widely dis
tributed during a continental subsi-
dence in which the waters of the Arc
tic ocean covered all OF northwestern
Siberia and extended up to the base
of the great Asiatic plateau which we
followed for such long distance on
elevated shore lines Of Turkestan, says
McClure's Magazine. When this de-
pressed area emerged from the sea, 1t
left the seal isolated In the two great
bodies OF water which still remain on
Its former margin. So lately has this
taken place. that there has not been
time for any great change to be effect
ed in the specific characteristics Of
these animals.

Can Animals Cry?

Lady Burton says she has seen
horses in the Syrian desert cry from
thirst, mule cry from the pain of an
injured foot, and camels shed tears in
streams. A COW, sold by its mistress
who had rendered it from birth, wept
pitifully. A young sokO ape used to
cry from vexation If Livingstone didn't
nurse it in his arms when it asked him
to. Wounded apes have died crying.
and apes have wept over their young
ones slain by hunters. A chimpanzee
trained to carry water jugs broke one,
and fell a-crying, which proved sor-
row, though il wouldn't mend the jug.
Rats. discovering young one drowned
have been moved TO tears of grief. A
giraffe which huntsman's rifle had
injured began TO cry. Sea lions weep
for the loss of their young. Gordon
Cumming observed tears trlcliling
from the eyes of n dying elephant.
And even an orang-outang, when de-
prived of its mango, was so vexed
that it took to crying. There can be
little doubt, therefore, that animals do
weep from grief, or pain. or annoy
ance.-Cassells Little Folks.
