AN UNCAPITALIZED FRANCHISE,
Unusual Financial Policy OF the New York
Telephone Company.

Mr.. o. N. Bethel before the Assembly m ttte on
General Lars.
There is no DISQUALIFICATION. The New York
Telephone Company does not even capitalize Its
franchises. 1t does not draw one dollar or any
other amount from the public to be paid out In
dividends or interest to the American company
or Its other stockholders or bondholders on capt.
talized franchises. Its capitalization represents
only actual property at a fair and conservative
valuation. and working capital.
A Committeem you capitalize your
franchises at the valuation fixed by the State in
levying the franchise taxi
Mr.. Bethell-we do not capitalize franchises at
any amount whatever. We pay the franchise tax
on q capitalization fixed by the State, but we do
not write that capitalization into our assets accounts,
because the public indirectly pays that tax through
Its being placed in our expense account. and we do
not think It right or good business TO place that
valuation In our assets account and thus make IL
q double burden upon the public.

OF the mil ia regiments. Our own is too famiIiar
to need description. The white standard nj

many battles. New York displays a bun nag. and
the State banner of Maryland bears on a ground
OF blazing elbow the arms and motto OF the Cal

Marylands fag, seen al a distance, somewhat the
semblance OF a gorgeous crazy quilt. although
We suppose TO the Marylanders II Is more sugges.

Harvesting the Waves

A PPARATUS by which the waves can be
n harnessed and made to furnish motive
power for all human needs is patented by
Californian. This invention consists of one
more barges-scow-like floats, launched upon
the sea and anchored at such distance from
the shore as to be always in deep water. where
it will operate uniformly and in all weather.
Along the bottom of each float runs metal
track, upon which are two little cars, one at
each end, bearing heavy weights. The cars
are connected by rod, and as the boat rocks
they roll back and forth along the track, at the
same time operating pair of pistons which
compress air and, through a tube. furnish
pneumatic power operating machinery upon
shore. The pumping mechanism may also
be adapted to suck water from under the boat
and pipe it to shore in a steady stream with
sufficient force to operate a watermelon on
the beach. Thus is power had without re-
course to coal. Such an invention. if prac-
ticable, would of course be preferable to the
solar engine or windmill which store up
energy only while the sun shines or the breeze
waits friskily. Neptune is never at rest and
would be more dependable slave in harness
than either old Sol or old Boreas.

Quick Churning

0NE of the churns exhibited at a recent
~ dairy show in London is SO handy that
it might be placed on the tea-table and yet not
look out of place. The cream, at temper
ature of sixty degrees, is placed in any conven-
lent vessel, so that the dasher is in the center
and about one and one-half inches below the
surface.
The handle is then slowly turned for few
seconds, and then at good speed, and within
one minute butter is formed. With the addi-
ton of some fresh cold water and two or three
slow turns of the handle the butter is ready
for washing and working up.

serpent the device used to popularize
new summer resort near Buffalo, New York,

came from Europe to study the monster, the
common existence of which was much more
generally believed in then than now. This
serpent, which is believed to have been the
conception of Hank Faxon, brilliant journal
ist of those days. was constructed of light sheet
metal in jointed sections and surmounted with
a gigantic and hideous head 1t was inflated
and worked by machinery hidden on the shore.
1t worked with marvellous success as
summer-resort attraction until rust accumu-
lating in its submerged state, threw the
mechanism out of gear. One day when an
unusually large crowd was awaiting its appear
ance the serpent came to the surface, appar-
emily ailing. 1t couldn't get back into the
depths, and its end was ludicrous in the ex-
IRENE. 1t was bounced upon by persons in
pleasure-boats and belabored with oars until,
battered out of all resemblance to a serpent,
its metal compartments sank from sight. Then
the scientists went home.

Microbe-proof Communion-Cup

A N Indiana man who puts his faith in science
L n rather than faith-cures is the patentee of
a communion-cup which is designed to pre-
vent transmission of all germs
The vessel at superficial glance, looks like
a soda-water glass, for it sets within skeleton
holder of metal, having a handle of the same
material. CHANGING down into the cup. the
communicate sees, an inch or SO below the
rim, a circular cover, or "mustache fender, "
fitting to the sides all around. In this is a
large central hole through which wine is poured
to reservoir beneath. About this are the
emerging ends of tubes, provided as outlets
for the wine; and still nearer the rim are
smaller outlet tubes.
The sacramento wine having been placed
in the inner reservoir, the cup is tilted by the

lips. II he does not consume all thus passing
out that which he leaves is guided by a
shield to the little outlet holes, whence it
drops to a separate interior reservoir. The
top edge of the cup is clutched just above
the handle of the metal frame by clasp
holding an antiseptic pad against that
part of the rim. Each commitment, as he
partakes of the wine, slightly turns the cup
within the frame until this pad has blotted

Patented Sea-Serpents

rs there really anything new under the sun?
A patented sea-serpent-most people would
think that absolutely new. Doubtless the
patentee thought so when he procured his
patent few weeks ago for a marine monster.
THE object thereof, he says, lis to provide
means which will be adapted to call the atten-
ton of all beholders."
This serpent is constructed of papier-mAche.
with an interior mechanism designed to amaze
and amuse people at fashionable watering
places Back of the head is steamboat over
whose stack is funnel feeding a pipe that
discharges smoke through the hideous mon
ster's Jaws. A lever on deck moves the jaws
of the leviathan, and causes them to gnash IN
a threatening and truly sea-serpentish manner.
Upon the boat is also syringe" with dis
charge tubes terminating in the serpent's
nostrils 1.-The inlet tube" specifies the in
ventor "hangs over the side of the boat and
projects into the water; SO that the operator
NAV place his foot upon the bulb of the syringe
and cause jets of water to be thrown from the
nostrils."
The ewes of the serpent are inclosed by NOV
able rejecting mirrors for daylight maneuvers,
or flashlights for nocturnal visitations. The
long tail is a chain of tapering floats, pivoted
together, and by pursuing a zigzag course the
by making the creature pursue serpentine
gyrations over the water. The people on shore
having sufficiently broken out in goose-hesh,
the operator opens, like great fan, the dorsal
fin of the serpent, which contains the iniunc-
ton " Use Does Soap. ''or some similar advice.
Nearly fifty years ago the Silver Lake sea-
