sewer from the store to the water Main

sewer should be constructed from North

This will free the beach of all sewerage

connection | would call your attention
To the need OF clearing up the beach in
front OF the grounds 50 as to make them
fit for bathing. You now control the
beach from the south line of lots above
North avenue. This beach could be
cleared and the rocks put into a wall at
OF above high water mark, wide enough
to have a walk on top of it and thus af-
ford a promenade on the water front
that would be great attraction to cot
tagers and visitors.
Many of the old wells on the grounds
have passed their usefulness. | would
recommend that they be filled up or
covered and kept for water supply in
case of fire. The excellent water sys-
TEN affords ample supply for drinking
and household uses

need of reseating auditorium park, so

was formerly done. The building is all

but in pleasant weather the people pre-

will attend the meetings. Seats should
be prepared for $500 or 5000 people, who
would be there on all the great days.

identifying the streets and parks. They
have added much to the beauty of the

and unrelentlng arms welded axes that
laid low what was once monarch of
the forest. The great live oak was in
its prime in 1875, when John Wesley
preached to Savannah colonists and to
Indians beneath its branches.
Protest against the tree being cut
was offered by citizens of Thunderbolt,
the town four miles from Savannah in
which the tree stood. The protest
however, was ignored, as the mayor of
the town held that it was public do
main and the company was entitled to
have the tree removed to make way for
it's tracks.
Had it not been that there was no
time in which to take such action, the
courts would have been asked to inter-
vene to prevent the dissertation. The
tree has long been pointed to with
pride and Methodist children through
out the country have been taught that
it was beneath its branches that Wes-
ley inculcated the lessons that are fol-
lowed to-day.

The human body forms an example
Of a machine which yields a very largs

what is spent upon it in the way OF
fuel, that is to say, food. Psychologists
calculate the work done by the body
in foot tons. foot ton of work beins
represented by the energy required te
raise one ton weight one foot high. A
Woodworking man in his days labor
will develop power equal to about 8, 0OC
foot tons, this amount representing
both the innate work of his frame in
volved in the acts of living and his ex-
terna1 muscular labor as a newer OF

A mans heart, in "a hours. shows q

supposing he could concentrate all the
work of the organ in that period into
one big lift. it would be capable OF

develop energy equal to about 81 foot
tons, and when are added ine actual
work of the muscles and that expended
in heat production 5000 foot tons are
arrived at as the approximate daily ex-

All this power, moreover, is devel-
oped on about eight and one-third
pounds of food a day, the supply in

No machine of mans invention ap-
proaches near to his own body, there

that the human engine gets at its work

A table has been compiled by the in

electricity during the nine months end

six persons have been e1eetrocuted dur
ing these nine months, or an average
of almost thirty month; SIS have
been MANNED; 112 horses have been
killed, and there were 442 fires.
In this table no account has been
kept OF the indirect accidents through
the use of electricity, such as trolley
car accidents, electric mobile accidents.
and the like, but only where the direct
electric shock caused the death or
manning or the fire.
The losses by electric fires alone
have averaged over a million dollars
a month. These losses have become so
serious that the accident, life, and fire
insurance companies are considering
the advisability of taking united action
against them. The insurance rate in
these companies was fixed before the
great and increasing use of electricity,
and the electrical risk was not figured
in, so that the rates are upset and re-
quire readjustment through these adj
ditional losses.
The winter months show more dam
age by electricity than the summer
months. During the summer there are
fewer fires and not so many electrocu-
lions. while after every winters storm
there is long list of casualties and
losses from imperfect insulation, cross
ed and broken wires, and misled cur
