that the wearing Of a sapphire was a

that the fume of an agate would effec-

that the wearing Of a chrysoprase

the roof of 2O-story building, when
great wind was blowing, without a

Careful observations to determine
the amount of tall buildings in a high

the velocity of the wind reached so
miles an hour. The Monadnock Build

this that no special effort is needed to
secure lofty building from the effects
of the wind. On the contrary the slight
degree of oscillation mentioned above
was due to the fact that the engineer

this water becomes as pure as spring
water.
The water Is distributed In two ways,
one being entirely distinct from the
other. In every street two pipes are
laid side by side, and one is fed with
spring water and the other with river
water. For private feeling the pres
sure IS strong enough to reach the up-
permost story Of every house. for pub
lie service the pressure is not so great.
The pipes used for fire engines are fed
with spring water, for the pressure for
river water is not strong enough.
Fortunately for water drinkers there
are not so many fires in Paris as in
New York; If there were the inhabi-
tants would go without spring water
more than half the time. On an aver
age, there is not big fire in Paris in a
year, and think it would be to the
benefit Of New Workers. TO study the
reason.
In these gigantic water-works there
are twenty-five hydraulic machines
which contain six thousand horse-pow-
er, working day and night. There are
ltwenty-one reservoirs, which have the
capacity Of eight bundled thousand
cubic meters of water. The machines
pump up 996,5O0 cubic meters of water
every day, $4,000 drinking and 644,50O
cubic meters Of river water. This
gives an average Of three hundred and
seventy liters daily to every inhabi-
tant, which is too little in warm
weather, and too much in winter. The
cost of the machines, together with
the pipes amounted to sixty million
dollars.
The water for public use and for in
dustries is obtained from the Oureg
canal, the Seine, the Marine and arte-
sian wells. BY means Of the hydraau-
lie machines the canal gives one hun-
bred and eighty thousand cubic meters
Of water daily. There are five hy-
draulic machines that pump up the
Seine water in different parts Of the
city, and feed reservoirs which contain
one hundred and eighty thousand GU
bic meters of water. The Marine feeds
the Gravelle Lake, twelve thousand
cubic meters and the MeniImontant

cubic meters. Indianapolis News

JAps AT BATTERY PRACTICE.

After watching the kenjutsu con1bats
for a few moments, we walked down to
the black ordnance-house on the stone
sea-wall. where forty or fifty cadets
were engaged in practice with a bat
terry of four six-inch, quick-firing guns
of the latest Japanese type The build
ing, which had no windows, was SO
constructed, with low ceiling. open
ports, etc. as to reproduce in ogenera1
way, the gun-deck Of a battle ship or
cruiser. It contained one big sight or
ten inch gun and four six inch quick
fires, as well as a number OF cannon
of smaller valiber and Of various pat
terms. Each Of the six inch guns had
q crew of seven men, not including the
ammunition- carriers, and at one end Of
the deck stood a commanding officer, a
burglar, a cadet to call out the ranges,
and number Of gunners who were APP
parently in reserve. When we entered
the building the men were all standing
N an attitude of attention, and the
place was as quiet as a church; but at
a signal from the bugle the scene sud-
denly changed to vivid moving pic
ture Of battle, as the crews sprang to
their places and the guns went into acr
ton. The swift running to and fro Of
the ammunition carriers the bugle sig-
nails, the blending clicks of the breech-
mechanism, the loflg-drawn strenuous
cries of the range-caller as he moved
a pointer on a big white dial, and the
fierce, intense eagerness of the crews
as they worked the guns, made it easy
to imagine that we were witnessing,
from the inside, a small part OF real
naval engagement. The fact that ia
pan is at war, and that every newspa-
per is filled with accounts Of naval ac-
tons or exploits, probably giveH,to the
practice exercises of the naval cadets a
sort Of dramatic realism that they
might not have in time of peace. Eve
ry gunner really imagines himself, for
the moment, fighting q battle under
Admiral Togo, off the entrance to Port
Arthur, and he throws into his actions
an amount Of energy that transforms
peaceful exercise into the semblance of
real war One certainly could not ask
for more realistic pictures Of q naval
engagement, as 1t appears from the In
| side, than those furnished by the Yeta-
jirla gun crews in action. After the
first bugle signal the ammunition was
brought and the guns were made ready
and loaded in just thirty seconds, and
they were fired thereafter at intervals
of from eight to seven seconds, except
at times when it was necessary to train
them forward Or aft, or change the ell
evaion to correspond with the in
creased or decreased range. George

curative powers of various stones, we

There it was recently applied to the

the woman to whom it was applied

that such stone was kept in the Vir-

was open to all Corners for application
to the bite Of a mad dog, or other allied
wound. One such (perhaps. the same)

CANON. WALL FULL OF ARROWS

CANON WALL FULL OF ARROWS.
Thousands Of arrows shot by bandsof
Indians for possibly centuries protrude
from a ffssure several hundred feet
long in the rocky walls Of Arrow Cam
on, about 20 miles from the crossing Of
the Salt Lake Railroad over the Moa-
poa River.
At a point where the perpendicular
wall of the canon juts out about 200
feet above the canon bed a thin, snake
like ffssure runs in the rock. Successive
generations Of Indians have gone to
the place at regular intervals and shot
their gayly be-feathered arrows up

in its oddly. The arrows are so thick
that little room is left for more, and

Already relic hunters are visiting the
place and sdespoiling it of it's treasures
by shooting the orrows out with re-
volvers and rifles. In the sands of the
bed of the canon many arroW-lleads
of various sizes and shapes are found
