Wasting Water.
From the Boston Herald.

tue BOSTON deralr.
Every one knows that in our large cities
there is an enormous waste of water Few
housekeepers realize the amount of water
that runs through their taps each day and
what a large proportion of this is practical
ly waste. If they were obliged to pump
or draw this amount from a well, as is
done in the country, we do not question
that the total consumption of some of our
cities would be halved. if not CHARTERED In
New York the water department has been
looking very sharply after the careless
MASTERS OF water with very good result g.
The commissioner reports that, as result
of this investigation. there has been de-
crease in the amount of water used In a
year of something like 1,500.O00 gallons. At
the Old rate of increase almost 15.OoO, 600
gallons more would have been used Ia st
year than in the year BEFORE and this
taken in connection with the actual de-
crease, he figures as giving net saving of
100000 gallons. Very plainly, the rigid
enforcing of the laws against wasting water
is to the real interest of all the water users
of community.

Poor Cranberry Crops.

From the Boston Transcript
The cranberry season. which has prac-
tically closed on Cape Cod, has not been an
eminently successful one due, 1t is thought.
to the eccentric weather during the sum-
mer and to the curious extremes Of tie
early fall. Many hnharvested berries were
lost by the sudden severe cold of a week
ago. when the thermometer dropped to ~
degrees. and nearly ans inch of snow fell
in some places. irhe CRANBERRY industry
has in large measure lost it's peculiar
local charm during the past few years
through the extensive. Importation of cheap
foreign labor. The native pickers have been
crowded out by ,throrigs of Portuguese.
Italians and FinnS,, who are contracted for
by the season al the different boys at much
cheaper rates than the resident picker s.
who formerly did all of the work. The
foreign element has brought with it many
unpleasant features of racial dscord and

son was to the Industrious Cape Colder a
prolonged picnic which afforded a delight
full opportunity for welcome addition to
the family purse As an illustration Of the
unpleasant possibilities In these alien labor

Tested in unforeseen ways. the proprietor
of several large cranberry boys on Cape
Cod lost the entire crop of one of them
consisting of hundreds of barrels, through
the malice of a laborer seek ing revenge for
a fancied slight, who secretly opened the
sluice gates of the reservoir before the crop
was ready to be harvested and let the
water on to the bog, thus running the crop.

According to Commercial Agent Harris
at Eibenstock, German road locomotives
are destined to play an important part
in future wars. These locomotives are
already used by European armies for
many practical purposes, including the
transportation of heavy siege guns
across the country. the moving of the
machinery of balloon attachments and
iron and steel targets from place to place
and in driving dynamos, threshing ma
chimes plOws. &c. The road locomotive
makes it possible within very short
time to completely change the base of
supplies of an advancing army.
During the progress of the Boer war
the heavy guns of the English warships
were often brought into use to support
the regular field artillery by the use of
these locomotives 1t was impossible to
haul these guns across unbroken veldts
with oxen or other ordinary means. The
commercial agent says that the practi-
cability of these locomotives to pioneers

One of the questions that has given
the general staff of the army no little
trouble" said one of the members of that
organization, 'is the publication of such
acts and operations of the staff as are
regarded as of interest to the general
public. Since the transfer of Gen. Corbin
from the War Department to New York
city there seems to be officer at the
War Department who feels authorized to
communicate military matters to the
public through the press. A plan under
consideration contemplates the detail of
an officer of the general staff to the duty
of receiving the representatives of the
press and giving them all proper infor-
nation regarding the operations of the
general staff. AS the matter stands at
present officers of the army on duty at
the War Department, including chiefs of
staff departments, hesitate to give out
even the smallest routine matters with
which the general staff has to do. Sc
crecy and suppression of all military acts
and reports seem to be the order of the
day at the War Department just at pres
ent, and even routine reports formerly
made public without hesitation are now
treated as confidentialIy as the most i'm

Formation Of Gold Nuggets,
From Mines and Minerals.

From Mines and Minerals.
That gold is formed from solution is gen.
orally recognized. The miner receives the
theory because 1t explains the making of
god to him, but he often wonders how it
is done, so here Is what has been seen:
Daintree once prepared a solution of gold
and left in 1t small piece of metallic gold.
Accidentally a small piece of wood fell into
the solution; the solution decomposed. the
gold assumed a metallic state and collected
and held to the small piece OF undissolved
gold. which increased in size. Another in
vestigator heard of this and made dilute
gold solution In which he immersed piece
of iron pyrites and left 1t there a month.
He added also organic matter, and at the
months end the pyrites were covered with
film of metallic gold. Pyrites and galena
were next tried, and each was covered with
gold. Gold. copper pyrites, arsenical pyri-
ties, gafena. wolfram were also tried with
similar results. Metallic precipitates were
tried. and while they threw down the gold
as a metallic powder they did not cause it
to cohere nor to plate any of the substances
tried. Organic matter thus seemed the
necessary chemical agent. Through the
wood used in these experiments gold was
disseminated In fine particles. Imagine
these experiments conducted by nature
through ages and the result could be g.
nugget.

Amazing prices are paid to the leading
musicians when they are induced to enter

bly, Jean de Reszke and Calve refuse such
engagements on any terms. A New York
mulu-millionaire and patron of music being
debarred from attending Kubelik's first con-
cert. paid $1,000 for the privilege of having
the young violinist play for one hour in
his own music room. Nine. Sembrich could
proner gratuitously her voice and her

tempting offer that began with 81 600 and
increased TO any sum she pleased to name

on condition that her husband should be
included in her hostess arrangements and

Achievements of the Negro.
From Christian Work.

Forty years ago the negroes of the south
did not own a square foot of ground. nor a
roof to cover them. Now, on the other
hand, there are 10000 farms owned by
negroes, valued at $3.50 600. 900; $50 1000
homes outside the farm ownership, valued
at se65. 100000 and personal property valued
ait s16o. 100000 &c. starting from nothing,
here is an accumulation of nearly $500, 900.
600. When the work began not 1 per cent
of the negro adults of the south could read
or write. Today 40 per cent can do so.
Fifty per cent Of the children are attending
school. and with more facilities more would
attend. There are 500 colored physicians
in practice. 800 lawyers and 10000 school
teachers. There are 100000 books in the
homes of colored people and they own and
publish $50 newspapers and magazines.
