To Water Consumers.

Having received many inquiries as to
the cause of the milky appearance of the
water when first drawn from spigots, we
wish to explain that it is due to air, which
has been taken in at the pumps and forced
into the water under pressure. When
drawn from the pipes and pressure re-
moved the contained air escapes in form
of minute bubbles, like soda water. as
may be demonstrated by drawing a glass,
setting It down for few seconds and
observing it clear frorI the bottom. This
air is perfectly harmless, is unavoidable
during the connections we are making
with the new filter plant Just completed
and the cleaning of reservoir now in prog
ress, and will last two or three days
longer.

MARITIME records to see how many YES
sells disappear each year and leave ap-
solutely no clew to their fate. They run
well up to the hundred mark, and such
a mystery Is not to be explained away
by storms. A Chinese typhoon may
swoop down like lightning out of Gle ar
sky and tear a ship to pieces, but sois~
noating wreekage Is sure to tell the
tale. A boiler explosion, on the con-
trary, will blow hole as big rs rail
road tunnel right through the center OF
the hull. and the stricken vessel simply
goes down like n shot. There Is no time
to unfasten n boat from the dayits or
cut loose spar.
I'm the opinion of seamen that Is the
story of at least 90 per cent OF the shlps
that leave port and are never heard OF
again. Luckily the modern system OF
marine boiler inspection is extremely
strict and thorough. but 1t Is Impossible
to absolutely prevent carelessness ana
fraud, and often enough. no doubt the
fault lies with the engineer.
"There Is an old story of a drunken
Scotchman who mistook the thermome-
ter for the steam gauge and 'cussed out
the stokers because he couldn't get the
pressure above so. That yarn Will
hardly hold water, but I've seen cases
almost as bad. | am glad to say, how
ever, that during the past ten years
there las been a steady dlminution OF
the number of vessels which 'mysteri-
ously disappear That is due, beyond
all question, to the Increased stringeney
of boiler inspection and the greater
strictness of examinations before IL
cense is issued to engineers. Neyerthe-
less there is still considerable room for
Improvement In both branches"

passing a tramp. Captain Parker and
his son, Captain Harry Parker have
planned 1t and are building II with
these expectations. They have made
for 1t hall unlike any other steam
boat hull on the river. 1t has perfect
ly straight sides. 1t Is 1S inches high
er at the bow than II is amldshlps and
Is II inches higher at the stern. II has
a deep, sharp bow stem standing out
like n skag. 1t Is 100 feet long, with a
23-foot beam on the deck and n 22-foot
beam under the hull. II Is supposed
to penetrate and skim over the water
without cleavlng It, ms the ordinary
hull does, thus causing great resist
ance ut the bow.
Little doubt Is expressed by river
men as to Captain Parker's ability to
accomplish what he has undertaken
the construction OF the swlftest boat
that has ever skinned the surface of
the Mississippi. The Captain and his
sons are widely known by men of their
craft and they have many visitors at
their Bremen avenue shipynrds The
lines of the new boats hull are rad
ical departure from the conventional in
the building of steamboats,, but there
are no visitors Mt the yards who do not
admit that the boat Is well planned.

THE LOVE OF WORK.
II Seems to BE Characteristic of Ameri-
can People.

Discussing the causes of the failure
of cooperative colony In Georgia, a
New York newspaper makes this decla-
ration: Most persons do not like to
work. If most people do work 1t Is be-
cause they would starye II they didn't"
Neither of these assertions Is suscept-
BILE of proof. The vast majority of peo-
pie In this world find a certain amount
of work absolutely essential to their
happiness and TO their peace of mind.
Without 1t discomfort would bring with
1t not only danger of wrongdoing, but
complete dissatisfaction that would
make life a miserable and morbid fall
ure. Those who are the ldlers In this
world are the unhappiest people In 1t,
and, fortunately, their number Is not so
large that they count for much In the
worlds daily record.
Nor is the second statement made by
the New York paper any more correct
The declaration that most people who
do work do 1t because they would starye
If they didn't finds contradiction in the
lives of Americas greatest million
aires, the majority of whom are among
the country's hardest workers, observes
the Baltimore American. These men
are as regular at their daily tasks as a
bank clerk, and though they have for
tunes at their disposal find their great
est pleasure in keeping up those strict
business methods which enabled them
to build those fortunes. They surely
do not work because they would starye
If they didn't. They work because of
sheer love Of work, because without
such work they know that their lives
would be a burden to them.
Hatred of work is fortunately pos
sessed by very few people. The idlers
In the world are very scarce. Work
may have come upon the world as
punishment, but 1t has surely proved
one of its richest blessings.
