LIGHT FROM CITY REEuSE.

One step toward the establishment Of q large
lighting plant under municipal auspices was
taken last week. when the site for it IN Long
Island City was acquired The designing and
construction Of suita BILE buildings there, which
must soon be undertaken Will be a compare
lively simple matter. In the choice Of boilers
and dynamos wherewith to equip the station
no difficult problems are likely TO be encoun-
tered. On the other hand, the selection Of the
furnaces will call for exceptional care-that is,
II new methods of generating heat are adopted.
Major Woodbury., whose experience as Commits
sloner OF Street Cleaning gives special value to
his recommendations, has expressed the opinion
that city refuse might be utilized for this Dur
pose with success. Experiments on a small
scale by him encourage the belief that a
larger undertaking of that kind would be
wise. 4 further trial Of the system for the
lighting or the Williamsburg Bridge was au-
thorized last January, and it is possible. If not
probable, that it will be introduced at the Long
Island City station, which is designed TO serve
the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn
Crematories for garbage and ashes have been
IN operation in foreign cities for at least ten
or fifteen years. The original purpose for
which they were built was TO get rid of those
kinds OF refuse in an economical and whole
some fashion. Their use was dictated primarily
10y sanitary considerations The only questions
which arose at the outset related TO the posi-
billy Of burning offensive substances without
disseminating unpleasant odors and Of dspens-
ing with fuel. Both OF these were settled in
the affirmative; and in time It became apparent
that under favorable circumstances a surplus
Of heat was available that could be devoted to
the development Of power for pumping, operat
ing cranes or machines to crush the clnkers
left by the Instructors or for the generation
of electricity.
Somewhat eKtravagant expectations were ex-
cited by these achievements, and there has also
been disposition TO magnify unduly the occa-
sional failure Of such ventures. The real truth
undoubtedly lies between the two extremes
The degree OF success attained varies greatly
and is dependent upon number Of elements
The type or furnace used the kind and guam
dty Of refuse burned and the previous prepa
ration OF such part of II as is very wet being
the most conspicuous factors. Differences in

soUsA PLEAsEs LARGE AUDIENCE.

John Philip Sousa returned to Broadway last
night for one performance the first since his Euro
pean trip. The Metropolitan Opera House held a
large audience which testified to the pleasure which
the vigorous conductor. his vigorous band and vs-
orOus music inspired. The programme was made
up of SOusa music, with fewer OF his swinging
marches than the audience would have liked. a.

RABIES. REAL AND IMAGINARY.

The recent death Of a child in Nyack who
shows that hydrophobia is a reality. The fire.
quency with which dogs suffer from that NAL
ady has been exaggerated, but, after misrep-
resentation and guesswork have been elimI-
mated from the discussion, there remains an
"irreducible minimum" of fact which ought not
TO be ignored.
One account Of the circumstances under
which this particular case originated saws that
the animal which made the mischief having
. been killed, its head was sent to experts in
this city for examination. Such action was
wise. Pasteur discovered that the brain and
spinal cord Of dog which had rabies showed
changes that could be recognized easily. If a
competent person undertakes the task, there
fore, 1t is feasible TO ascertain with a high de-
gree of probability whether or not a given
animal has been a victim Of the disorder or
not. The sooner the truth Is learned the bet
ter. If any suspicious which have been aroused
by erratic behavior prove to be groundless. a
wholesome effect will be produced by promptly
allaying them If, on the other hand It is
learned that they were warranted, diligence
should be exercised In securing the proper treat
ment for persons who may have been attacked.

sideration of other physicians. He had been

She EntOmbs Living Spiders as Food
For Her Young.
When summer warmth has awakened
the maternal instincts Of the insect
world the mud dauber wasp may be
seen gathering mortar at the margin Of
stream, pool or puddle. Filling her
mandibles, which serve as both spade
and hod, she bears the load of mud to
some rough surface, rock or wall or
board or beam. She spreads and shapes
her mortar until, after many visits to
the mud bed, she has built a tubular
cell about an inch long and three
eighths Of an inch wide.
Then her huntress instinct awakens
and her raids upon the spider realm be-
GIN, for within this cylinder the moth
err mason will put a single egg In
course of time this will hatch into q

proceeds to capture and entomb within

she may be seen hawking over and
near cObwebs of various sorts, ventur-

ers and sometimes even to herself. II

thrusts it therein.-H. G. McCook in

SACRED STONES.

Some That Claim to Mark the Center
of the Universe.
The sacred black stone Of the Man
chu dynasty of Chinese in Mukden Is
the center Of the universe, according to
old Chinese superstitions, and added
venerability comes to Mukden from the
graves Of the emperors near by.
The Do-ring in Lassa, Tibet, is an
other center of the universe, which, &C.
cording to the Tibetan priests, Is shap-
ed exactly like the shoulder blade Of a
sheep. All distances are measured
from 1t, and it Is very sacred.
Another center is the kaaba, in Nee
ca, a dirty black stone let into the wall
Of the most sacred mosque and polish
ed every year by the lips Of thousands
Of worshipers. The Arabic word for
stone, ''hagar," appears In Scriptural
writings as proper name. The Mecca
pilgrimage Is a hal" and those who
have taken 1t are known as "hadji."
Even so sane people as the ancient
Greeks came pretty near worshiping a
stone-the "omphalos." or center Of the
earth, at Delphi. The Romans set up a
stone of great consequence in Rome,
but for purposes Of measurement, not
worship, and so the London stone'' Of
today Is used.-London Telegraph.
