For the city and metropolitan area the rate IS i one policeman for every four hundred i persons. whereas in provincial num- cipalities there is only one for every i seven hundred. In the city or Lonaoh proper, which is so forsaken attef pus- mess hours, police guardianship IS still better, viz, one policeman Tor every thirty-seyen persons who sleep in the city at night and one for every three hundred and fifty who work m IL py day. Toward the maintenance or the London police the government cohtrlo- utes three and a half million dollars annually, besides the seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars it puts an nually into their pension fund.

 forty-nine million gallons, the daily consumption per head for all purposes being about thirty-nine gallons. Lon doners generally try to persuade them- selves that the water they are asked to drink isn't very good This affords them an excuse for taking something stronger. But the London water is scarcely so bad as it was made out to De by an aggrleved householder who wrote to the company one sultry day last July to thank them for the gallon he had coaxed out of his tap that day. The fish it contained, they had for tea, he said, the microbes and bacteria they sold to a medical society, and after they had skinned the water off, the children made pies with the sand!

ObserVant men trace a resemblance between the situation in this country now and that which prevailed in Ger many two or three years ago, before the great depression in that country began. During 1899, after an era of unexampled prosperity the iron factories, textile mills. and all the great industries of Germany were so congested with orders that they could not be filled. Large flu ture contracts for coal iron ore. and other raw materials were then placed, and wages of workingmen were raised. because there seemed to be scarcity of labor Many speculative schemes were Heated on the crest of this wave of prosperity and new companies with extrayagant promises of profit were or

The Annual Report of Inspector George

| The Annual Report of Inspector George l.. Mclean to Governor. The annual report of Factory In- spector George l.. Mclean for the year ended September 30. has been submitted to the Governor This is the fifteenth annual report of the department and the volume presents in detail the condition of the industries of the state and in addition it has a number of illustrations of noteworthy objects in the field it covers. In his report the in spector says that during the year II ,313 factories and 331 bakeshops were wis., ited by the inspector and the special agents of the department Henry c. Nichols of Norwich and John Fl Quin- Ian of Meriden, and he compliments his subordinates on their good judgment and faithfulness to duty. He reports that the changes recommended in re- gard to ventilation, sanitary conditions, proper light and the guarding of dangerous machinery have in most cases been promptly compiled with, and the inspector and his agents courteous ly received. Careful attention has been given to the inspection of factory e1e-
 
 chinery have been examined and, when considered dangerous to employees, new parts have been ordered and the ma chinery placed in good working order Most of the accidents that occur on the frieght elevators are caused by the employees putting their feet over the edge of the car as it ascends to the different landings The factory inspec- tor presents descriptions of a number of safety appliances for attachment to elevators and makes suggestions for their safe operation. He also reports that several accident insurance com panies are working along the same lines as his department and are doing good work.
 In regard to fire escapes the inspector says that the enforcement of the law as to factories is placed in the hands, of the building inspector of each city, the warden of each borough and the first

 Yes, I see. What does it mean?" Tt means that an automobile Is due and coming"
 But can't we get across before it gets here?"
 Not on your life. grandfather. The last man who tried it was thrown clear across wonder meadow and into a greenhouse! There it goes.''

 That was 1t. Come now No, we must wait again. The yellow flag Is up in the other direction. That means a race. There they go! See them."

selectman of each town. They are re- quired by law to visit factories, public buildings, apartment houses and places ot like character, at least once a year. Many buildings in which the egress was poor, for the number employed, were found, and their condition re- ported to the local authorities, in
 most instances proper egress was pro- Vided, but some cases nothing has been done. Inspector Mclean also says that the fire escape law of Connecticut is not as strict as it should be, and does | not compare favorably with that of most other states Stihing smoke from ! a burning building is the usual cause of the loss of many lives. Outside iron lire escapes are perhaps no orna ment to building, but are far more useful as means of egress from a 1 burning building than long flights of inside stairways filled with dense smoke.
 During the year only one unsafe factory building was found This was not constructed as heavily as a factory building should be, and was overload ed at one part by machinery. The owners, as soon as they noticed the setting of the floors strengthened the building, so that it now stands the ex- tra strain without any show of weak ness.
 The inspector reports that the use of electricity as a source of power is in- creasing each year. Tn some of the modern factories under construction each machine is equipped with it's own motor and the use of beltlng and pull leys has been largely done away with.
 The remainder of the report is de- voted to detailed statistics relating to the factories of the state and the laws governing the department are also printed.

THE SPECS" THAT FITTED.

An old man, who has nearly attained the biblical limit of threescore and ter years, was in West Duluth drug store recently, endeavoring to find a pair of spectacles to fit his eyes. Some how, the old pair he had worn for ten years were playing out--or else his eyes were He couldn't account for it, but it was getting harder for him to see com fortably with them every day, and he finally decided that he must purchase a new pair.
 He explained to the clerk what he wanted, and then the small stock car ried was ransacked in an effort to find the right thing. It was a long job. Everything tried on blurred, the one with strong magnifying power as we'll as that with practically none.
 The clerk finally gave it up, and ad- vised the old gentleman to see an opti- cian He ''allowed' so too, but con- tinued to paw over the glasses and try them on in a hopeless sort of way, while the clerk attended to something else,
 Suddenly the latter was attracted to the customer by an exclamation of sat isfaCtion. By gosh, I've got her!" he shouted and the clerk turned around to see the old man with the "specs' on his nose, testing them on newspaper.
 It was a frame only, both lenses hav- ing been taken out.
 q kin see bettern I could ten years ago." continued the old fellow, eXult- ingly, and just then he raised his hand to take them off, and put his finger through the hole where the lense was supposed to be,
 His look of astonishment was study, but the result was that he decided his second sight had arrived, and he hasn't worn pair of specs" since.-Duluth News Tribune.
