OWNERS KICK OVER
IGNORANCE IN ENGINEERS OFFICE

Property owners on Maxwell ave-
nue., protesting against the work done
by the Washington Water Power
company in laying the new car tracks
on the street, have precipitated a
three-cornered fight which is likely to
result in expensive litigation and
which exposes a careless administra-
ton of the affairs Of the city engi-
neer's office and the board of public
works in the past.
The trouble arises over the conten-
ton of the Water Power company's
on the established grade of the ave-
nue.. The property owners declare the
tracks are below the accepted grade
and have petitioned the board of pub
lie works to order the street car COM
pany to tear out the tracks and relay
with the present grade Of the avenue.
When the franchise for the laying
of the new tracks was granted the
council provided for the laying Of
the same at the grade of the avenue.
This is also provided for in the char

grade Of the street
Street Not On Proper Grade.
When the engineer Of the Water
Power company ran his line on Max
we'll avenue from Monroe street west
he found, according to the company's
report, that the street was from four
to six inches higher than the estab-
lished grade. The street had been
graded and accepted some four or
five years ago and at that time 1t
was noticed that in browning the
avenue the contractor had raised the
grade.
The street car company's engineer
decided the street was higher than
the established grade and without
giving notice to the board of public
works or the property owners the
company went ahead and cut down
the grade through the center of the
street to place the roadbed on a level
with the legal grade established some
years ago, regardless OF the fact that
the street was finished and accepted
by the property owners and the city.

The result has been that Maxwell

When the property owners petition

THE USES OF THE ROPE.
Hundreds of Thousands Of Human
Lives Each Day Hung by
Wire Thread.

While the longestropes are used
for hauling purposes, some of the
most interesting data in connec-
ton with wire ropes are obtained
with their use for hosting pur-
poses, says Mines and Minerals.
Hundreds of thousands of lives are
literally each day hung by a small
wire thread as the men are low
cred into and hoisted from the
bowels of the earth, and in many
cases the only means of commune
cation between the surface and
the underground workings, which
are from a few feet to a mile in
depth, is by a comparatively small
hosting rope. Think of hanging
from the end of a cable only a few
inches in diameter and a mile
long, being hoisted at rate which
is faster than that of the average
railroad train, and some idea of
the hosting problem can be
gained. To the honor Of the wire
rope manufacturers, it must be
said that very few shaft accidents
are duet to the breaking of the rope,
excepting where the cage is over
wound and unwarranted demands
are made upon the rope, or which
are traceable to false economy on
the part of the users of wire rope.
No part Of mining plant is more
carefully inspected and watched
than the hosting rope, and very
few mining managers will take
any unnecessary risks in the hoist
ing of men. The skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost
to provide ropes for hosting from
great depths. To make a rope of
practicable size that will be suf
ficiently flexible and that will bear
even it's own weight is no mean
problem, for in such cases the
weight of the rope is often much
more than the material lifted.
Hence we have taper rope intend
ed to give a varying section Deepen
dent on the amount of rope off the
drum or reel.

EVEN EXPERTS DECEIVED.
Secret Process Of Making Rubies Thai
Produces Apparently
Real Gems.

A jeweler recently laid two ru-
bies on his counter and asked a
customer to select the better
stone. They were of about the
same size. The customer exam
ined each carefully, and then made
his selection, says the New York
Sun. 9.E~ta
81 thought that would be the
one" said the jeweler. "Many ex-
perts would have selected it. The
one you have chosen is worth only
$50, however, while the other one
is worth $240."
''The cheaper one has the better
color" said the customer.
cit certainly has, but it is COM
position stone. 1t is made of ru-
bies, but the process is so perfect
that few can detect that it is not
a real stone.
''The process of its manufacture
is known only to the man who
made it. He is an Englishman,
and has found out way of taking
ruby chips and making them into
what look like real rubies.
"What he does no one knows,
but from an examination made
under a powerful glass it would
seem that he grinds the chips into
a paste and then works the paste
into a solid, and afterward cuts
and pOlishes it. He is so careful
about the color that the made
stones are invariably better than
many genuine ones.
"Many experts would be fooled
with these stones if they did not
know about them. A powerful
glass will reveal what they are.
In real stone the grain always
runs straight, but in one of these
made gems there is no grain at
all.
"The maker of these compost
lions can't manufacture diamonds
yet, but understand he has been
trying, and he may succeed. EN-
eralds and other stones have been
experimental with, but none has
been initiated so successfully as
the ruby"

NEW PoRPolsE cATcHERs
vibrating Rods Set Up in the Gulf OF
st. Lawrence Holds Them
Prisoners.


The new vibrating rod" meth
cd of catching porpoises, discov-
cred last fail by Campbell McNab,
an experienced hunter and fisher
man of the Saguenay river dis
trict, is being successfully tried
by fishermen along the Portneuf
river, below Tadaussac, and, in
fact, all along the gulf of st. Law
renee, says the New York World.
Porpoises are valued at from
$50 to $50 each, and for years Indi-
ans and fishermen have dill
gently sought them, but they have
been difficult to get in quantities
because of their excessive wari-
ness.
The old method was to shoot
into schools that had gone up
small rivers with the tide looking
for food, and get as many as pos
sible before the prey escaped to
the ocean. This was unsatisfac-
tory, as more than one was seldom
taken. The toughest nets strung
across the mouths of the rivers
failed to hold the porpoises after
the shot had been fired.
McNab, however, appears to
have made discovery which
will revolutionize porpoise catch
ing. He does not say how he
arrived at his conclusion, but ad-
mits that his method is the result
of several years of careful inves-
tigatiOn.
1t is simply to place in the
mouth of the river a slender, ia
pering rod of steel or seasoned
wood attached by the butt to a
stake driven in the river bed. The
rod is from 10 to 40 feet long, &C
cOrdingto the width of the stream,
and is so arranged that the Outgo.
ing tide will cause it to vibrate.
1t is not placed in position until
the porpoises have gone up the riv,
erwith the incoming tide to search
for cells and salmon, on which they
live almost exclusively. Once the
rod is in place no pOrpoise will
pass within 300 feet of it.
No one knows just why the por.
pOises fear the rod, but it is be-
lieved that the vibration has a
painful effect on the ear, which is
unusually sensitive.

LONELINESS OF PRAIRIEs.
Treeless, Trackless Wastes That Are
Devoid of Water and I'm
inhabited.

81 had almost as soon be set
adrift in small boat in mid-ocean
as to be dropped down on the vast
prairie near the Kansas-COlorado
state line" said a man who is
familiar with the west, according
to the Birmingham (Ala.) News.
"One cannot realize the lOneli-
ness of the western plains until
he has crossed them. There are
very few human habitations, COM
paratively little of the land is I'M
der cultivation, and water is a
scarce and precious commodity.
In every direction nothing meets
the gaze of the eye except a track
less, treeless waste which is
bounded only by the lowering sky.
Prairie dogs are the chief denizens
of this region, and as the train
whirls past they perch themselves
on the hind legs and sit bolt up
right as motionless as a statue.
There are a few houses, but they
are at wide intervals. The one
single advantage that lonely pc
destrian has in that region is that
by following the railroad track
sufficiently far he will reach a
town some day but walking at this
season under the burning prairie
sun is byno means pleasant.
"It is positively tiresome to the
eye to ride across the prairies in
a comfortable Pullman car sur
rounded by all the luxuries of life,
This being true, it must be next to
appalling to have to tramp over
this region without food or water
except what one begs at the few
way stations along the route. ]

thing picturesque or inviting about
