Many Other Peculiar Things Found

PERFECTLY HARMLESS SAYS BOARD
sacteriologists Tell Citizens That
They Should Not Mind Such Little
Things as Sand, Mud and Odd crea.
lures That Come Out of the Pipes
From the Big Reservoirs.

NEW YORK. Sept. S.-Thc Depart
ment of Water Supply, Gas and Flee
!ricity has been deluged with letters
OF protest concerning the condition of
the water supplied to residents of the
upper West Side. The final straw
came yesterday, when The department
received letter from A. Loves Dick
inSon, and an immediate investigation
was ordered. The letter of Mr.. Dick
inson is as follows:
For long time it has been in nv
mind to write and make complaint
to your board as to the condition OF
the water supply
Il live in l09th street, and when
ever there has been rainstorm the
water for several days afterward is
so full Of mud and other extrancous
matter that you cannot see the bot.
tom OF the bath when the water Is
nine inches deep. This morning in
addition to other matter of greasy
character, dead fish came down the
pipe.
ut appears to me that this condl.
ton of things is n great disgrace to
the city, and that the Water Board
ought to take steps to see that bet
ter supply is provided"
Investigation of the complaints re.
ceived by the department showed that
they were not in the least exagger-
ated. In the neighborhood mentioned
by Mr.. Dickinson the water Is of such
dirty character that only boiling
makes 1t fit for use. Filtering does
not materially enhance It's value from
housewives standpoint
In spite of the deplorable condi-
tons, however, the report of the bac.
teriologist who made an investigation
OF the water for the department show
ed 1t was not as bad as stated After
an exhaustive analysis the report
concludes:
THE water is perfectly safe for
drinking purposes. but has an I'M
pleasant odor, due to microscopic veg
etable growths. These growths come
from Croton Lake and are decreasing
i'll amount"
The "microscoplical vegetable
growths" mentioned by the bacteri-
olosist frequently take the form, it is
learned. not only Of portions of dead
fish but of fish both dead and alive.

Earthquakes.

Among the many strange relation
ships which earthquakes hold to vari-
GUS natural phenomena there is posi-
bly, one between the times of their oc-
currence and of irregularities in the
revolution of the world. For many
years it has been observed that there
are slight but irregular changes in lati-
tude, or, in other words, the axis of our
earth does not always point in the
same direction. The pole wanders
about in a mean position, sometimes
in path that is nearly circular, while
at others it appears to be exceedingly
irregular and even retrOgrade. The
world top is not spinning truly, but it
slightly wabbles. When the change in
direction of it's axis is sharp large
earthquakes have been frequent. II Il
swiftly moving body is, SO to speak,
compelled to turn a corner, that it
should be subjected to strains which
might result in yielding is easily con-
ceivable. Regarded from this point Of
view, the times at which strata in
seismic strain give way are to some
extent governed by cratic movements
in the rotation Of our sphere. The
earthquake and the wabble may, how
ever, be due to q common cause, and
the question therefore is one which re-

Elva Aney, charged with the murder
of Albert Hewitt at Chetek. has been
acquitted by the jury in circuit court
at Barron. On the night of June l3
Hewitt went to Miss .Aney and asked
her to go to his home. liking pro-
posals which she indigna- = resented
She said she was through with him
and engaged to another man. He
abused her. whereupon she ordered
him off the place, threatening to ShoOc
him if he did not go.
He continued his abuse and chased
her around the house and into the
woOdshed. She ran back into the
house, procured a shotgun and as he's
was climbing the stairway to the house
she pointed the gun at him, COM
handing him to halt. Failing to do
so, she discharged the contents of the
gun intc his knee. severing an artery,
causing death few minutes later.

A good horse cannot be bad color,
it is said. 1t is certain that Derby
winners are not drawn from certain
cOlOrs. Has gray ever won the race
or a dun or a skewbald OF a piebald?
Has there ever been thoroughbred Of
the latter type? Quite black thorough
bredS are rare, white still more so,
gray uncommon even among the less
exalted Of public performers. The
''Stud Book" would not bear out these
statements where colors uncommon on
the race course are described. The ex-
PLANTATION is, of course, that the horse
is there described as he appeared as a
fOal. An owner of a bay thoroughbred
looked up the ''Stud Book to find his
purchase pictured as a chestnut and
complained to the men of whom he
had bought the horse. The former
owner assured him that the descrip-
ton was correct at the time it was en-
tered. Other owners, less certain as to
what color may appear when the first
coat has been cast, have before now
made such singular entries as gray,
roam or chestnut. st. James Gazette

subcommittee of which would act as a

President Van Hise said that he did
not wish to force the matter. He
merely proposed it for the two classes
to think over and take action on, if
they so desired. The president COM
