Rare Flashes of Lightning.

From the London Globe
Some rare flashes of lightning. especially
very brilliant linear flashes. seem to persist
for time and fade gradually. On the back
ground of the sky in the place of the fash,
one then sees a yellowish green or reddish
image of the fash waning rapidly. Details
can be distinguished in ii which were yis-
ible in the principal fash According to M.
Touchet this image Is not merely in the
retina, for he has experienced the retinal
image as we'll as the other. The retinal
image moves with the eye, the other does
not. This afterglow has been compared to
the train of meteor or fuse to an incan-
descent electric filament and TO a phosphor-

temperature by the electric discharge. To

Lead a Regular Life.

From the Minneapolis Tribune
Very few persons understand the value
of regularity of habits. Meals and sleeping
hours should be fixed ones, for only harm
can result from retiring one night at 10 and
another at Il o'clock. unless the rising hour
varies, too Eight hours sleep one night
and six the next is not the way in which to
WOO and keep health. and if a similar
habit of taking nourishment is encouraged
there is little hope of reaching old age in a
creditable condition. If ever you are
tempted to prove or disprove these state
ments try going to bed at o'clock every
night for three months. and rising at and
eating at q. Il and again, with never a
break in the routine. The result will sur

Parole System in Force.

I'VE have the parole system in Toledo"
the chief continued, and grand system
1t is When first offender is sentenced
his time is not stated, and the length of
his punishment depends largely upon him.
self. When he has gained his freedom and
has been sent out upon the world it is for
him to guide his future course. Should he
violate his parole he is picked up and
turned to prison upon the original case.
This system usually results in one of two
things: it will assist in the reformation of
the criminal or drive him from the state.
Some of the chiefs seem to delight in say
ing that Toledo harbors criminals, but they
can never say that we have a school for
them. We take great pride in looking after
our young people, the boys, and point with
pride to what is accomplished in our city
in this regard.
I'm the newsboys' society there are hum
dreds of members, and the people of the

One Of the chief things to be con
sidered in the coming election is tc
put in office an honest administra
ton, capable of handling in a sound
business way the improvements to
the water system which have been
commenced. That the present ad
ministrton is incapable of doing that
has been amply demonstrated The
plan to bring water from Big Cotton
wood is very good, but it needs capa
BILE men, men of affairs, to carry il
out. The contracts which have beer
entered into between the city and the
Cottonwood water owners is such as
no sane man in the position of the
city would make. By the contract
the city undertakes to bring water
from Utah Lake to exchange with the
farmers of Cottonwood for Cotton
wood creek water. This in itself is
quite an undertaking when it is con
sidered that Utah lake is falling and
that the capacity of the present canal
is inadequate to carry the quantity OF
water required, even if that quantity
can be obtained. When the terms OF
the contract with the farmers are
considered it is a very foolish under
taking. First, by the agreement al
ready entered into the farmers are tc
be given rs per cent more water than
they give the city and in addition the
farmers are to be given a cash bonus
of $40 per acre for every acre of land
now irrigated by them with the water
the city is to receive from Cottonwood
creek in exchange for the Utah late
water; further the city agrees to con
struct and keep in good repair the
canals necessary for the distribution
of the Utah lake water among the
farmers and it is further provided
that if at any time the city fails to
supply the stipulated amount OF
Utah lake water, the farmers may i'm.
retake the Cottonwood
water from the city. 1t is truly one.
sided contract. Then the city, to
carry the water from Cottonwood
into the city's system, must construct
a conduit which will cost a quarter OF
a million dollars. It's big risk for
the city to take under such a contract
Just as Truth said nearly a year ago
when it opposed the issue of the mil.
lion dollars in bonds, the present ad.
will spend the million
dollars and the city will get very lit
tie more water. 1t is a serious mat
ter and should be given careful con-
sideration by the people.

Evading Custom Duties.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-An investi.
CATION is being made here under the
direction of the treasury department
OF alleged fraudulent importations OF
olive oil. During the past week num-
erous cases are stated to have been
found of importers alleged to be en-.
gagged in receiving an inferior grade
OF edible olive oil under the guise OF
machine oil. In some cases several
hundred barrels of this olive oil was
brought v e at a time. These i'm.
porters are said either to sell the oil
to retailers who mix it with cotton
seed oil and sell it as olive oil or
themselves so mix and sell it.
Such an evasion of the customs law
is punishable with the seizure of the
merchandise involved, besides fines
not exceeding S., 900 in each case and
Imprisonment of not more than two
years. Cases are said to have been
discovered where the oil was consigned
to a bank without the name of the real
consignee appearing.
