PRIMITIVE PUMPS.
The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.

The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.
A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance of
and is generally believed to be that of
a portable pump. The hydraulic screw
is also attributed to this people, but
their main reliance seems always to
have been the shadoof. seen every
where along the banks of the Nile, an
invention so simple and SO well adapt
ed to their needs that 1t remains today
substantially the same at 1t has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine. which seems
never to have been improved upon. is
in such common use that every agrieul-
tural laborer is in possession of one.
Where irrigation is conducted on a lar
ger scale the chain pump is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by a
very simple tread wheel. and still lar
ger ones are operated by yoking buff
falo or other animal to suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
lions of fire to vessels containing wa
ter, by which effects were produced
calculated to astonish ignorant wor-
shippers, were practiced by the priests
of Egypt, Greece and Rome, but their
knowledge seems never to have been
turned into any channel of secular use

Repulsed by Bees.

A striking incident of the relief of
Cawnpore was the rout of the Ninth
lancers by swarm of bees. A village
defended by hastily improvised
stockade, on the top of which num-
Der of hives were stuck. Into one of
these a young officer jabbed his sword,
with result that In far less time than
1t takes to tell it the whole advance
guard was racing for dear life to the
rear, and Sir Hope Grant hastily
formed line of battle, believing it re-
pulsed by the mutineers In force.

DODGE HEARING ON
3-CEnT FARE BILL
Quorum Of the Three City
Delegations Fails to
Materialize.

No attempt was made last night by
the joint committee of legislators from
Ramsey, Hennepin and St Louis coun-
ties to consider the Scent car fare bill,
although the session was called for
the purpose of discussing the measure
Ihere was no quorum present, and op-
ponentS of the measure intimated that
1t will be impossible to get a majority
of the delegations present at any meet
ing when the street car or public util-
1ty corporation bill is to be considered.
Assemblyman Frank Arnold, who is
the author of the measure, was pres
ent at the meeting to explain the pro-
vision of the bill. Although there was
no quorum, Mr.. Arnold delivered a
short address, telling how the bill would
operate.
He said it would give the common
councils of all the cities in the state
the right to fix a maximum rate to be
charged by public service corporations,
where no specific or valid contract is
In force. Mr.. Arnold contended that
II the legislature never delegated this
power to cities in the charters granted,
the common councils had not the right
70 enter into binding contract with
publlc service corporations fixing a
maximum rate of tariff
representative Butler asked Mr.. Ar
nold II he thought the power of fixing
rates should be vested with the COM
mon councils, and when Mr.. Arnold
replied he did SO believe, Mr.. Butler
suggested that it might be better to
create commission or board similar
10 the state railroad and warehouse
commission.
There We're only fourteen members at
the meeting Of the commmittee, and
friends of the bill were bitter in their
criticism regarding the action of the
absent members. 1t is said that the
irwin City Street Railway company will
endeavor to keep enough members
away from each meeting of the Joint
committee so that it will be impossible
to consider the bill or vote upon it's
passage.
