SAND IN THE GAS HOLDER
Made 1t Necessary to Shut off the Sup
ply, Causing a Shortage

a good many gas consumers We're
considerably alarmed a couple of days
the last Of the week on account of the
shortage of gas, fearing that if they
were without lighting power the first
cold snap there would be little hope of
having gas for light when winter comes
and the product is being used largely
used for fuel. The cause of the scare
ity was not due to shortage or extra
consumption for heating purposes, but
simply to the fact that the well had
been shut off. Every now and then it
seems that a large Quantity of sand
caves off at the base Of the well and
this is brought up and dumped out in
the reservoir over which the holder is
placed, directly under the mouth Of the
pipe which emptes into the reservoir.
The holder settled enough SO that one
side of it rested on this bank of sand.
tipping it to a slanting position and
producing a strain OH the iron work
which caused d breakage. On former
occasions several carloads of sand have
been taken from the reservoir. Men
were at work the first of the week
pumping out this latest accumulation
and if there is another scarcity for
some time it will be due to another
cause.

Heart Must Go with the Pen.

A good letter may be written by one
dislikes to write may even, by force
of intellect or will, always compose
good letters, but this is not what is
meant by the elegant art of letter writ
ing. That art demands primarily not
alone an ease of outward form, but an
underlying love Of the thing, a natural
recourse to the pen as means of en-
joyment, as a solace, as an unpremed-
itated expression of thought or emo
ton. 1t is the presence of this fac
tor in the constitution Of the writer
that so often makes the letters of peo-
pie not superlatively intellectual or
learned far exceed in grace and charm
the labored efforts of minds of pro-
found attainments. Women are often
excellent letter writer's. The little
things that go to the making of the
perfect letter are appreciated by them,
the trifles of the outer world no less
than the trifles Of the inner world of
human affections and endeavor. Moth
ing kills the life Of a letter more sure
ly than the conscious or unconscious
feeling on the part of the writer that
it is not worth while to write this or
that. Absolute play of pen is needed,
for the quality of style in letter writ
ing. evasive as it is, tends rather to
discursiveness than to concisenesS.-

the CAMERA AN EDUCATOR.
II Opens a New World to One who
Uses 1t Properly.

1t Opens a New World to One Who
Uses It Properly.
A friend of one of our contributors
walked into the EDITORS Office the
other day with request that we give
our attention to what he called an
"anticamera crusade" says the Amer
lean Inventor. He informed his
patient auditor that his small son had
lately become possessed of zone Of
those devilish kodak things and now,
by the great horn spoon, he wanted to
study arti 1t was mildly suggested to
the irate parent that sons have on
occasion done worse things, but a
muttered malediction was the only re-
suit. He did not give us time to tell
him what we really thought Of the
matter, so we are going to do it now.
In our opinion there no greater fac
tor to-day than the camera as means
Of education. We do most emphati-
cally believe that the closer man gets
to nature the more lhe knows, the
better citizen he makes and the more
competent he Is to bear his part as a
unit in the great machine humanity.
And the camera Is the thing that
that makes him walk and look, not
walk and think about his business.
It sends some of its devotees down
close to the ground for insect pictures,
others it makes climb trees for birds,
| to others it holds out inviting hands
calling them where ocean breezes blow
and to one and all it exercises q
which breeds, often from nothing, an
appreciation and love for the beauti-
full, without which no one can truly
say, 'T have lived"
In education the camera is bigger
man than the superintendent of
schools. Bringing far scenes to the
textbook page for the edifcation of
the child to whom pictures are every
thing and print a to- be avoided evil,
telling story in scenes from the
north or south and making real to lit
tie minds the difficulties and dangers
which the explorer and the vanguard
of civilization have to face, it is play
ing a part in the better education Of
mankind that may well require an adj
miration and a reverence but little
second to that which the world pays
to the inventor of letters and books.
So to that dissatisfied father whose
son of sixteen was so broadened that
he knew his ignorance and asked for
an art training, and to all the multi
tude Of parents whose children use
the camera to the alternate amuse-
ment and disgust of the household, we
would commend a little educational
reading, "a subscription to a photo
graphic magazine and careful re-
preston Of oppression of the camera.
1t does no harm. it does great good-it
is not a waste of time-it is an ed
ucational recreation, and last, but not
least, it Is not "monomaniacal pur-
suit" but a broadener and deepener
of the mind and as such is to be en-
couraged and smiled upon.
