HOW BEST TO DEyATURE ALCOHOL.

schemes win add enormously TO Mr.. Yerkes's
cares for year or two. but he appears to
be fully alive 20 the fact and is making
ample preparation 20 meet the emergencies
which viii arise next January. Several Euro
pean countries having made this experiment
already, the Commissioner naturally turns TO
them for instruction. In fact he will visit
them in person during the coming summer for
purposes Of study. He is at liberty TO i'm

he will discover ways of doing So Neverthe-

TAPPED WATER MAINS.

If Mr. Cord Meyers water company has peen
stealing water from the city mains through
snrreptitious connection. it at least can say
that it has good Democratic precedents ior
such a proceeding. 1t is the fashion Tor poht-
ical water company to be sort or Sanese
twin to the city system and have common
circulation. The chairman of the Democratic
State Committee is worse off than were
the chiefs of the old Mclaughlin machine in
Brooklyn a few years ago. About 1891 the
Democratic politicians having purchased the
Long Island Water Supply Company decided
to sell it to the city, and through their SER
want, Mayor Chaplin, they had the city make
a secret contract TO buy it at an enormous
price William j. Gaynor began suit as attor-
ney for the late William Ziegler to prevent the
execution OF this contract and was successful
In the midst of the controversy started Dy
this suit 1t was discovered that the water
company's plant was connected with the oy
mains. 1t was explained that this was done
at the instance of the city to secure water
pressure in case of fire in the company's ter
ritory, but for days the officials In the Depart
ment Of City Works could show no permits or
other documents bearing out this tale. Al
length they announced the discovery OF a per-
nit which to the outside observer showed re-
markably fresh ink and paper for a document
alleged to be several years old.
Beside that exploit Mr.. Meyers company so
far seems to have been in the retail business
as a purveyor of the city's water. If Com
missioner Ellison discovers several other con-
nections which he believes exist, there may
be another story. Mr.. Meyers explanation
about a dead pipe does not seem to be borne
out by the water bills of the property owners
along the line of the main which tapped that
of the city. The water meter seems also TO
challenge the statement that If there was any
flow between the two systems it was toward
the ciy's pipes and to Its advantage 1t looks
as If MIR. Meyer would need to consider the
operations Of his company still further and
find a better explanation. We do not, how
ever, mean to say that he may not find one.
Meanwhile Commissioner Ellison will do well
to carry out his plan TO search for other al
legged connections We have often commented
on the enormous apparent waste of the city's
water. Perhaps he Is on the eve of a discov-
cry which will explain some Of it and enable
the city to increase It's supply without the un-
easy feeling that 1t is pouring water into a
seve-a sieve. moreover, under which some
body holds thrifty pail.

In some countries ii is customary to supple

Mr. Yerkes may well weigh this possibility care

fectly suited to the duty in question unless 1t

Anything which could be readily precipitated

chemical, for example-would. not meet all the

be an objection TO an agent which would be
left behind as a solid were the spirits evapo-
rated and then condensed. Now, while the
temperatures at which wood alcohol and grain
alcohol boil are not the same, they can be sepa-
rated only by fractional" distillation, opera
ton which demands elaborate means for regu-
lating the heat applied. 1t is impracticable To
conduct the process on small scale, and when
it is employed on a sufficiently large scale TO
pay there is danger of detection. Thus wood
alcohol meets satisfactorily all of the essential
requirements of an ideal denaturing material
