A PUBLICATION OF INTEREST TO
ALL BEING MADE BY U. S.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

A publication Of great interest to
all communities in West Virginia has
just been issued by the United States
Geological Survey as WaterSupper
Paper No. 1G1. In this report, which
may be obtained upon application to
the Director Of the Survey al Washing
ton. D. c., are discussed the conditions
that affect the quality Of the water in
the basins of the most important ,ribu.
tarles of the Ohio river in West vlr.
ginla and Pennsylvania. The methods
OF sewage disposal and the sources OF
the supply Of drinking water are de-
scribed in detail, and there are dis.
cussions of the epIdenmics Of typhoid
fever that have occurred at various
points. AS such opidemics necessari'
ly have their origin in pollution OF the
watersheds, It Is evident that ade'
quate sanitation Of small towns AMI
a careful guarding OF their water sup
piles would prevent disease at its very
source and be far less expensive than
the costly battles that are waged
against epidemics in the eenters Of
population. The paper also contains
sections devoted to the publication
OF river water by means Of filter gal
lerles and filter cribs.
The report is OF great value from
the Industrial as well as from the san
itary point Of view, as the assays Of
river. spring. and wei supplies from
a great many points in the area indI-
cate what waters are best adapted to
manufacturing or boiler purposes.

11NSNhseU - ~ 9AAtitsti-+
From the Boston Transcript.
10 few Americans has been grant
ed the privilege Of a personal audience
with the Sultan Of Turkey and TO
only one has come the opportunity OF
securing a drawing Of the famous rul-
er as he is to-day That one is Homer
Davenport, the well known cartoonlst,
who recently arrived in Boston on the
White Star liner canopic. Efforts
were made by the secret agents of the
Sultan to locate and destroy thi,
drawing, which Mr.. Davenport pro-
duced from memory directly after his
audience, but the artist concealed TIT
precious likeness in a bale of nay and
thus managed to convey 1t out of the
sultan's domain.
Mr. Davenport's visit abroad had
for It's chief object the selection OF
some FLOODED Arab stock OF horse
flesh, for the purpose OF establishing
a stock farm in this country, in which
quest he had the companionship Of
two men who were as ready as him
self 10 rough" it in the wllds Of the
far East in the accomplishing of their
purpose. They were Charles A. Moore
Jr., Yale. so, strapplng big man, or
athletic propensitles. and Jack Thomp
son, who. being something of a veter.
marian, was left In charge OF the
stock of seventeen blooded stations
and ten mares.
It was while arranging For the trans.
fer Of these horses from Arabia t.
the Mediterranean that the cartoon
list had his meeting with the Sultan
and managed to secure a drawing OF
his features. Inasmuch as all alleged
photographs OF the Sultan which have
appeared in the last forty years have
really been likenesses o: the Sultan's
brother, MI Davenport, as may be
imagined, values his drawing highly
especially since 1t has become almos,
certain that the life OF the Sultan
will run its course within the next yea.

The Metric system,

Americans who have tried to add
British pence and pounds have been
glad that our money Is measured by
a decimal system yet we still use
inches, feet yards, miles, acres, and
ounces, pounds, pints, quarts, gallons
and bushels, while European nations,
rest Of the civilized world buy and
except Great Britain and most Of the
sell by the metric system.
Great Britain and the United States
have legalized the system, but popu-
lar habit, unmoved by official infiu-
ence, clings to the old irregular sys-
TENS.
To make the change to the metric
system in this country would cause
confusion at first and some expense.
Manufacturers, mechanics, mer-
chants, would have to readjust their
computations, buy new instruments,
and reestablish their scales Of prices,
costs and quantitative measures OF
Of products. For instance, all the
relations between the weight Of wool
and the length Of carpet for a room
would have to be figured anew from
the sheep to the parlor.
1t Is hard to replace old practices,
interviewer with the whole structure
of popular thought, Of manufacture
and of mechanics.
But Germany adjusted itself In a
few months to the metric system.
America, which is proud Of being
progressive, can do as well.
Our own scientific men and our
neighbors in Continental Europe are
already RECONSTRUCTED" 1t ought
not to be long before we follow the
intellectual and numerical majority,
and adopt the metric system. A bill
for the establishment of the system
Is now before congress.-Youth's Com
panion.

Humorous department.

THE SIGNATURE WAS GooD.-A
story is told of how the late ex-GoV.
Joseph A. Gilmore Of New Hamp-
shire, when he was superintendent
of the Concord and Claremont rail-
road, once wrote a letter to one OF
his section bosses who had done
something to displease him. All the
man could make out was the date
and Superintendent Gilmore's sigma
ture.
Some time afterward, being in
Concord, the man went to call on the
superintendent at his office.
Hello, John, how do you do?" said
Mr., Gilmore. well, what are you
doing now?"
why, 1 am up here at the same
place on the section, Mr.. Gilmore, !"
replied John.
"What?" said Mr.. Gilmore, didn't
you get a letter from me?" naming
the date.
"why, yes; certainly" answered
John.
well, didn't you know that that
was a letter of dismissal?"
Letter Of Dismissal" cried the as
tonished John. mo, 1 couldn't make
It out, except that it was from head
quarters and signed by you. sir. But
after some study 1 concluded it was
q pass. AS none Of the conductors
on the road could read it, they all ac-
cepted my statement that 1t was
pass from Mr.. Gilmore, and have
been riding on it ever since"
John kept his place on the section.

MIXED WIvEs.-In the early part
of the last century there lived in an
old New England town a Mr.. Church,
who in the course of his earthly life
was bereft of four wives, all of whom
were buried in the same lot. In his
old age 1t became necessary to re-
move the remains to a new cemetery.
This he undertook himself, but in
the process the bones became hope
lessly mixed. His New England
conscience" would not allow him, un-
der the painful circumstances. to use
the original headstones, so he pro-
cured new ones, one of which bore
the following inscription:
Here lies Hannah Church and
probably a portion of Emily"
Another:
Sacred to the memory of Emily
Church, who seems to be mixed with
Matilda"
Then followed these lines:
Stranger, pause and drop a tear,
For Emily Church lies buried here,
Mixed in some perplexing manner
With Mary, Matilda, and probably
Hannah.-Harper's Weekly.

"why shouldn't you look a gift

"Because-because it's in bad taste.
It's ungrateful and all that sort OF
thing"
"All what sort of thing?"
"why, to look a horse in the mouth
that has been given to you shows that
it shows that you are not thinking
of the giver, but of the value of the
gift"
What would anyone want to look

QUALITY CoNsIDERED.-Fred Sterry
of Palm Beach Power Boat associa-

motor boats and automobiles bring,
SAYS the Chicago Chronicle.
For my part" he said. II don't
object to these high prices. The
workman is worthy of his hire. Fine
things, rare things, would not be fine
and rare If they were cheap.
"I think the laborer is worthy OF
his hire and 1 am inclined to sympa-
thize with a grocer's clerk whom l
once knew out west.
This young man had a very un-
businesslike scorn for hagglers and
bargainers. One day a woman en-
tered the grocery and said:
What is tine price of your cheap
est butter?'
Eighteen cents a pound, maam,'
said the young man.
"'Oh, that's certainly too dear,
said the woman. Haven't you any
thing cheaper
well said the young man. we
have some soft soap at six cents a
pound"
