Mayoral Privilege.

A curious privilege attaches to the
Office of mayor Of Limerick. From
time immemorisl the mayor has
claimed the right to q quarter Of q
ton Of coal out of every cargo import
ed into the town. The coal merchants
recently objected to paying this trib-
ute, and test case was taken to the
local quarter sessions. The magis-
trates decided in favor of the mayor.
That oficial receives over 100 tons of
coal from this source every year and
distributes 1t among the poor of the
town, although there is no legal rea-
son why he should not use It for his
own private purposes.

One of the most recent discoveries
of Prof. Hensen, the German state
marine biologist, is of bacteria which
keep the sea fresh by attacking the
surplus organic matter in it. Other
researches in Plankton show that in
some places the sea is a mass of
liquid food, which fish and birds in
hale as 1t were. Even around the
arctic and antarctic poles this minute
life exists in such a quantity as to
permeate and color the sea.-Nine-

means an idea new in mechanics.
Twenty-seven hundred years ago, in
the little nation of the Chaldees, ad-
joining Armenia, the water turbine
was known, and built, and used in
milling. 1t was then called the "shell
wheel" The wheel was used in a
horizontal position, no effort being
made to secure the greatest value OF
the water pressure. The wheel was
connected to a vertical shaft which
turned the stone and ground the grain
into coarse flour.
Near the city of Van, believed to
have been built 1000 years B. c., there
still remain canals In a good state
of preservation. One of them, sixty
miles long, is now used for irrigation
and power. At one time, centuries
agone, there were forty mills on this
canal, and to-day the remains Of these
ancient institutions may be seen.
Flour mills, driven by these simple
turbines, of the same type as was used
there 200 years ago, are still in
operation.
The Deutcher Mueller, Berlin, says !:
These turbines were brought to the
notice of the modern world and quite
generally adopted in Europe from 1850
to 1880. These Chaldees are not to be
COMPOUNDED with the Chaldeans OF
Messopotamia."

How Riding Horses Run Away.
Riding horses run away in two ways
with the head up and with it down.
1t is a matter of individual opinion as
to which is the more difficult to cope
with. l should say both.
If the horse runs with his head up,
try the swinging pull. AS he reaches
out with his right forefoot, swing him
TO that side, and vice versa. Jockeys
ease up their mounts in this way.
They know better than to try the
steady pull, which only makes the
wrist give way, as / have already said.
This swinging pull not only tends to
pull the horse out of his course and
to lessen his speed by getting him
more or less sidewise, but 1t also per-
inits to give-and-take, which Is neces-
sary to conservation of wrist
strength.
Some horsemen believe in swinging,
or rather pulling, the horses head so
far around as to throw him at least
to his knees. This may be all right
II you are a good horseman, but 1t IS
a rather risky experiment for a novice,
as he may not know how to recover
his mount and so come q cropper.
The swing will usually serve the pur-
pose. In executing 1t, don't lean back

control the bride reins.

down remember that steady pull
