Lafayette, Ind, accomplished for the

is installing an underground conduit in

taken twelve men an entire day. The
little animal completed the work in less
than an hour. 1t consisted of drawing

pipes.
1t was an ordinary ferret that was
used. j. G. Fessmeyer. superintendent

watched the unusual operation. The fer
rets nose was pushed into the opening of
the conduit near the postofIice At the
other end, near the Western Union Tele-
graph office, a piece of fresh meat was
held Soon the ferret scented the meat
and darted into the conduit. After him
went the rope attached to his harness
and he never stopped until he was at the
end and the rope with him. He made the
run rapidly.
Without the ferret's aid the men would
have been obliged to use a jointed rod.

AS soon as the ferret had gone through
one conduit he was started through an
other, the meat being held at the oppo-

after rest made the third trip. He CON
tinued this until all five conduits were
threaded. Then the cable was pulled
through. 1t would have taken a dozen
men all day or more to do the same work

FOR PUBLIC RECREATION.
New York Spends As Cents a Year for
Each Inhabitant, Boston 81.

The city Of New York expends II
cents year for each inhabitant for
what is known technically as public
recreation. This term includes music i'm
parks, public baths, Fairgrounds, ficwers
and recreation piers.
The contribution of New York for this
purpose amounts to more than 81 800. 900
a year and is rapidly approaching So
100000. 1t is on Il scale of Iberaiitv
equal to thai of most American cities
but comes very far behind Boston, which
eXpends 81 a head for the same purpose.
Philadelphia spends 10 cents, the same
as New York; Chicago 30 cents. BaIti-
more go, St. Louis %, cleveland 30. Buff
falO 40, Detroit 80 and New Orleans Is.
Il small as well as ominous number.
Among the second-class cities of the
country Washington is the only one
which equals New York in the amounr
appropriated for public recreation. but
with the resources of the federal govern
ment to draw on the expenditure of II
cents head for this purpose is not ex-
cesSiye. Providence, one of the most
progressive cities in New England, ex-
Ponds only 33 cents, and Denver, usu-
ally included in the cities of the third
class, 55 cents.
The total amount expended for DUR
poses of public recreation in the cities of
the United States is S1O,000000 and the
general policy of large cities is to i'm
crease this item of expenditure by pay
mentS which up to few years ago
would have been deemed probably of
doubtful legality. The increase in the
appropriations for public recreation is by
no means general and does not include
either the cost of acquisition or the main
nicipal recreation places. - New York
