Speaking of Mosquitoes.

The talk around the camp smudge had
turnedi naturally to mosquitoes. THAT
reminds me,n said one, ''of a little incl
dent which happened at camp during a
recent rain storm. A pick pole was hang
ing on a rack under the caves Of the camp,
and as the rain was pretty heavy, the
mosquitoes sought refuge there, lighting
on the pole. The wind blew at the time
also, and in order to get away from il the
mosquitoes crawied around under the lee
side of the pole.
sit SO happened that the pole had some
season cracks in it, and by getting their
feet in the cracks, the mosquitoes were
enabled to hold on hard enough to be
kept from being blown away. The next
morning, when / came to look for the
pole, it was gone. | found it, however,
after search OF half hour, about 10o
yards from the camp
When the enevitable question was
asked, show did il get there?n He calmly
replied: 1.-THE mosquitoes carried it of.
That the rain got into the cracks in that
pole, which sweiled the wood, and pinch-i
the toes of every mosquito on it, catching
him like a muskrat trap, and they few OF
with the poles know it, because found
their toes sticking in the crack. I still

Bids on Manhattan Bridge

Commissioner Best has advertised for bids
for all the metal work for the anchorage
and for constructing the towers. cables and
suspenders for the new Manhattan bridge
at New York. The bids are to be opened
on August 10. and bidders are required to
deposit securities in the amount of 81 .500.-
900 for the faithful performance of the
work. The time limit set by the commits
sioner is three and half years. and the
advertisement announces that bids will be
received only from firms whose plants justi-
fy the expectation that the work will be
done well and promptly. Blank forms and
specifications drafted by the engineers of
the bridge department fill more than 100
printed pages. and nothing Is left to the
discretion of the contractors. Every rivet
that Is to be used in the giant structure is
shown In the illustrated plans, and pro-
vision is even made for the storage Of the
different supplies as they are delivered for
the contractors use.

Aoueduct Vulnerable.

The statement is justifiable that notwith-
standing its fifty years Of uninterrupted use
the Washington aqueduct Is more vulner-
able than the average of similar structures,
and that there Is risk of an accident to 1t
which would cut off the supply for a period
long enough TO cause a water famine, which
would involve a cancellation of all fire in
surance and a partial depopulation of the
city, besides other and more calamitous
consequences. This risk can be under writ
ten by the construction of another conduit,
and in no other way.
The construction of second conduit pre-
Sents some important incidental advan-
tages. II will settle the question of supply
Until the District contains more than twice
its present population. II waste were eff
fectlvely prevented the two conduits would
supply four times the present population
The project for the second conduit should
include adequate reservoirs and may be
made TO more than double the present re-
serve supply. This will remove the single
defect III the filtration scheme. II is con-
coded and has been officially stated that
the filtration plant will probably not pro-
duce an effiuent entirely satisfactory as to
color at periods of maximum turbidity IN
the river. TO double the reserve reservoir
capacity will permit the headgates to be
closed during periods of maximum turbid-
fty and insure a clear effluent at all times
The increased standardization will slightly
increase the capacity or the beds for q
given cost of operation, or will reduce the
cost for a given capacity
With the idea Of insurance paramount
the new conduit should not be built along
side the present one. but should follow a
radically different course to reduce to a
minimum the chance of a single cause dis
ablng both. For this reason all possible
alternative routes should be examined and
the preliminary surveys become more i'm
portant and more extensive and will re-
quire more time.
An estimate of $4,000 for these surveys
is submitted and its favorable considera-
ton Is urged The cost of these surveys
and any probable cost of second conduit
will be very cheap insurance against the
interruption of the water supply. which
will remain n constant menace to the Dis
trict until such insurance is effected.
The estimates for this section of the
water works for the next fiscal year ag-
gregate $460 of which $1,000 Is for the
preliminary surveys for an additional con-
duit. 81 COO for building a combined store
house and stable at Great Falls and $S3 coo

A Warm Spot.
From the New YORK Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post
Perhaps the worst scorched part of the
city during the recent ten-day hot spell
was the asphalted plaza along West street.
which the thousands OF Jersey commuters
had to cross twice a day to get to and
from their ferry terminals. But many Of
them were shrewd enough to cross the siz-
cling stretch of pavement by walking in
groups In the shadows of slowly moving
express wagons. The drivers saw through
this after the first day or two and some of
them won cigars by inviting patronage and
driving slowly TO the ends of the several
streets which their patrons wished to reach.
