MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
The City of Paris May Operate Lines
of Street Cars.

The City of Paris May Operate Lines
of Street Cars.
Paris Cable to New York Herald.
The municipal council, which has al
ready gone into the gas business in order
to relieve Parisians Of oppression by that
monopoly, now threatens to take control
of all tramway and omnibus lines, unless
the companies holding grants from the
city show less greedy spirit In dealing
with the public. The competition of the
new underground railway has already made
such inroads In the receipts Of the old
companies that the latter have reduced
their fares, but at the same time the &C.
commodation has become 80 bad that the
municipal council demands an improve
ment in the direction Of regular time to-
bles and increased service in the buster
hours Of the day.
In reply the companies ask the aboli-
tion Of the annual tax Of 20 francs ($4) PEI
year on each omnibus, the extension OF
their monopoly for twenty years and the
annulment Of certain lines where construc-
ton is contemplated by the Metropolitan
Underground. The companies also affirm
that their business is practilly ruined
by the Metropolitan, which has brought
chaos to Paris traction affairs"
A strong party in the municipal council
opposes the demands of the companies and
proposes to establish q line of "automo-
bile tramways'' in order to prove that COM
Portable accommodations and low prices
are compatible with reasonable profits
This attitude of the council has spread
such alarm In the several companies which
rule Paris surface traction affairs that
they again propose joining together to
form trust in order to fight the city.
Whatever the outcome, It is certain that
the council, which is developing g. strong
desire to take hold and manage all city
affairs, win try its own experiments with q
line OF public transportation on the sur
face. as already SO successfully achieved
underground.

by the most heroic efforts was II brought
to gan, making an ugly and dangerous
Tight. The fsh was towed to port and
found to measure fourteen feet and to
weigh 600 pounds-without doubt the neav-
lest and largest fish ever caught with q
rod OF any kind. The following day the
angler hooked q still larger sawfish. which
could not be towed inshore on account OF
its bulk. SO 1t was cut away.
The sawf1sh, especially large one, az
fords a fine trophy In Its saw. which IL
often cut on and used as back to ther-
mometer. While clumsy and 1ethargic, the
sawfish frequently leaps upward. espe-
cially when chased by large sharks. The
leap Is only sufficient to raise the huge
head and the wide ray-like side fms above
the surface. which fail upon the water
again with q resounding crash that on q
still night on the reef can be heard mile
away. While the saw Is fatal to many
fishes. 1t Is totally inadequate when the
fish Is attacked by a shark, and contests
between the two were often seen on the
reef Both fishes came to the lagoon floor
to feed at night. First the crash OF the
falling fish would be heard, telling OF the
attack. This would be repeated several
times. Then II the listener was near at
hand he would see an area of blazing
phosphorescence, a whirlpool OF seeming
fire where the luminous water was beaten
into a fiery froth. The shark had seized
the sawf1sh by its side fin, and the former
was striking fearful blows with its saw,
which, however. were but pin pricks to the
shark that soon accomplished the destruc-
ton Of its victim.

Disease at Cape Town.
I'M the Sanitary Record.


The present unsatisfactory state Of Cape
Town shows the folly of allowing towns
or even villages, to spring up without any
regard to the laws of health and good sani-
tation. Thousands are today congregated
in that town, and although 1t Is the natural
entrance by which emigrants enter South
Africa, there Is little or no provision for
the accommodation of such class. This
fact has brought to the minds Of
some the memorable words of Sir
Bartle Frere, on the event Of his de-
parture from the colony, many years ago.
His closing words were an earnest plea to
the workers of the place to pay attention
to the need Of providing good houses, such
as would be adapted to preserve health and
to secure happy homes in crowded city.
What constitutes he said, "a good work
mans lodging, what provision should be
made for adequate water supply, good
drainage and other essentials for health
in the building of house, are matters in
which many Of your workingmen are mas
ters of their craft. 1 would ask them
to take a patriotic citizens interest In
spreading this knowledge among their less
well-informed neighbors and fellows. Let
q few of them combine together to provide
model lodging houses for themselves and
their families, to influence, SO far as they
legitimately may, the action OF legislation
where legislation Is required on the sub
ject, and we may in future hear less OF
these terrible epidemics which occasionally
decimate the younger portion of our popu-
lation In South Africa, and which are, as
you and know, in the vast majority OF
Instances entirely preventable by reasonable
care and adequate sanitary arrangements.
Alasl all were then too much engrossed In
the search for riches to heed the good ad-
vice. but the people have had to pay heavily
for their neglect. An attempt Is now being
made to reach the ideal set forth by Sir
Bartle but the intervening years have left
their mark behind, and much will have to
be destroyed before any real good can be
ACCOMPLISHED.

The work Of damming the Nile was cow,

Cataract, and also at Assiout, 200 miles

were employed. The scene In 1900 at As

Nile Is intended as a subsidiary weir to
hold up the water so as to supply the old
Ibrahimieh canal, and also new canals at
higher level than before. 1t will thus
supply districts not benefited in modern
times by irrigation. The Assout dam Is
smaller and less pretentious than the one
at Assouan, but, like it, deals with the en-

The Act of Dying.


The popular idea that the act Of dying Is
a painful process often causes q fear Of
death. But death from even the most pain
full mortal diseases is usually preceded by
q period OF cessation from suffering and
partial or complete insensibility, resembling
falling asleep, or the pleasant gradual un-
consciousness caused by an anaesthetic.
The common phrase, death agony" Is not
warranted by what occurs in natural death.
which is complete relief from all pain.
When death Is owing to heart failure or
syncope 1t is sudden and painless-perhaps
pleasant. Death by hanging, there Is rea-
son to believe, Is attended by voluptuous
spasm. Death by decapitation or electricity
Is only q momentary shock, hardly felt.
Death by poisoning varies In painfulness
according to the poison employed. Opium
and other narcotics probably give pain
less, perhaps a pleasant, dreamful death.
HemIock. as we know from the account Of
the death Of Socrates. causes gradual in
sensibility, from below upward. On the
other hand. arsenic, strychnine, carbolic
and mineral acids corrosive sublimate, tar
tar emetic, and other metallic poisons In
fiict slow and torturing death. Prussic
acid and cyanide Of potassium cause quick
and painful death.

There is absolutely nothing to be gained
by this introducing OF female officers into
the guard 1t Is difficult at the best to
give to a body of local soldiery much
weight with those with whom they come
into contact In the ordinary course of bust
ness and nothing should be done to lessen
the fnhuence they now have. The National
Guard In the western states has never been
conspicuous for its discipline and good con-
duct, and 1t would be more seemly IL the
governors should busy themselves with inn
proving the discipline of their military es-
tabiishments and raising the public esti-
