CAR DROPS
into THE RIVER

While two cars loaded with salt
peter for the DUPONT Powder Company
were being shifted on board a barge
at the Delaware river pier this morn
ing the barge broke loose from its
moorings and foated out into the river.
Before the freight cars could be Sc
cured they moved along the tracks on
the float and one of them ran off and
disappeared in the river. The second
car hung suspended half on the hoat
and half over the water, when it was
stopped. In this condition the car and

Editor The Evening Journal
During all the years 1 have worked
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany l have advocated the weekly or
semi-monthly pay day. The monthly
payday Is too inconvenient for all
concerned except the men in the pay
masters office. and 1 could never
understand why the company did not
try TO be more accommodating with
its men. The employees could very
easily be paid every two weeks and
Il would be no more trouble for the
paymaster to get out the checks in
that time than It is in a month. In
fact Il would be easier and the work.
ingmen would be better satisfied. I
think the various brotherhoods and
the men not members Of similar organ
izations should get together and send
committees to the proper railroad Of
hcials to see IL they could not be in
duced to grant the semi-monthly pay
day.
Respectfully yours,

Some Republicans have an idea that the nom
ination of certain candidates for the Legislature
on the Republican ticket is assured They may
be mistaken. The people before the nomination
time rolls around may see the folly of sending
members to the Legislature who will represent
solely the interests OF railway and other corpora
tons. Take New Castle hundred, for instance.
The Democrats have nominated an employe of a
public service corporation and the Republicans
will probably do the same. Under such circum-
stances where, pray, do the people come in? They
should have at least have look-in at the Cen

Odd Place for a Wedding Ring

ONE of the saddest finds recorded was that Of
~ St Johns, Newfoundland, fisherman, who
discovered wedding ring in the entrails of a
cod in 1871. 1t was eventually proved TO
have belonged - Pauline Burnam, an English
woman who was lost in the steamship Anglo
Saxon. wrecked off Chance Cove, Newfound-
land, in 1901. The lucky fisherman received
a present Of fifty pounds for restoring the
highly priced rnenenrO 70 the wOTnan's son.
\ Havre hsherman's wife, driving goldfish
caught by her husband on the coast Of France
in 1904, noticed that one fish had a hard sub
stance inside. On investigation She found IN
the fish golden bracelet. How the ornament
came into its strange receptacle IS, OF course,
not known; but it Is conjectured that it must
have slipped from the wrist of some far passen
ger leaning over the bulwarl,s Of a transatlantic
liner. and been seized by the cod.

FINDS
IN FISHES

NNE day in 1908 y. E. Levy, of No. $40
~ Broadway, New York, felt the piscatorial
fever surging through his system, so
took day off and went out to the fishing banks
to try his luck. As he was dressing his catch
that same evening he discovered in the stomach
Of a cod a ten dollar gold piece, with two dia-
mondS set on one side and the initials Pee
on the other. Levy was so amazed that he
sent the story 70 the papers, and it was copied
throughout the country.
He hardly expected ever to hear from it,
but a few weeks later was surprised 70 receive
letter from Patrick c. Evans. residing IN Kan
sas who claimed the piece as his own and pre-
sented sufficient evidence of this TO satisfy
Levy, who accordingly turned it over TO him.
1t seems that Evans was in New York earlier
in the year and spent a day blackhshing in the
lower bay, and as he was hauling in a fish the
chain 70 which the coin was attached got
caught in the rigging of the sloop. which Just
then rolled. the chain snapped, and away went
the coin. never TO b. recovered, as he then
supposed.

Nl4lFt fTttl'I q low voltage for lighting purposes approximately s5,3oo. h addition to this, for street lighting it will he, necessary to have arc lights and' series transformers for same. A transformer and 2j are lights would cost approxi- mately 5000. making a total of t630D to install pole lines, transformers, cte.
 1t would also bc necessary to have op stock approximately 5000 incandcs- cent lamps, eos, of which would bc $lOOO.
 Assuming that the average loed would amount to 100 kilowatts per st hours it would cost approximately 2.y cents per kiIowatt hour 70 deliver cur rent to the customer.
 In making up these figures. have as- sumed that the total value of the, pre-. sent electrical equipment now installed, and which al present is used for pump ing purposes. is $27,ooo. Taking half of this amount as chargcable to electric lighting and adding cost of the ncees- sary additions. makes total of &20,. 500 as the value of the plant that can bc charged to lighting. 'On this basis I have estimated costs per kilowatt hour as follows:
 Cost Of. oil per indicated horse power at sl.2o per barrel of
 I2 gallons .... .......... .006et Cost of labor per indicated
 horse power ...... ... .OOas Cost of supplies ............ .Oo1 Maintenance. ! per cent ...... .0005s Depreciation, 10 per cent -. .O0I6 Interest on inevstmcnt. 8 pc. .OOo92- Taxes. 2 per cent ......... .OOO23: Insurance. i per cent ........ .O0011' -
 Total ...... ....... .O20as' As q klowatt Is equal to i.3t horse power it would cost S4 per cent more per kilowatt hour or .oe7 cents. The above figures. as stated above. are based on using the present equip ment now installed, only making sd- ditions enough to the plant to deliver current to the customer. This does not leave any power in reserve. in case of serious trouble at the generating sta ton no lights could be had. Eliminat- 1 ing this feature as much as possible, I would recommend that an auxiliary plant he installed in the sub b-station on the outskirts of the city. This plant should consist of one i50 kilowatt gen orator, direct connected to an oil en- zine. The approximate cost of this unit installed would bc $lO.OO0.
 In addition to this set you should have two more ,5 kilowatt transform CTS to hold in reserve in ease of trou- ble with the present transformers; these transformers would cost installed approximately s2,0OO. If this is done it would bring the value of the plant up 10 s32. 500.
 As the operating expenses would re- main practically the same as with tho present plant. the only additional ex- penses to be considered are deprccia- ton. maintenance, etc. Figuring on the same basis as before this would bring the cost per kilowatt hour wp to .0:0 cents. "rf
 believe that in making up the above figures I have allowed considerable margin, and that these figures would prove to be in excess of the actuni cost of producing electricity if the Ncify should decide to use this plant for lighting purposes.

 Humboldt. Ariz., Aug. 20. 1906. To the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Prescott, Prescott, Ariz. Gentlemen: In regard to using inc water works equipment of the city of Prescott for supplying electricity for lighting purposes, have visited your plant at Del Rio and beg to report as follows:
 At the present time there is available one 200 kilowatt dypamo which can be used for lighting purposes up to it. full capacity for ten hours per day, and one'haIf it's capacity fourteen hours per day. without interfering with the water works system.
 There are at present only two 7- kilowatt transformers installed, which would only allow, without overlooking the transformers. q load of 150 kilo watts to be carried on the dynamo However, for short periods of two hour' m overload of 25 per cent can be ear ried on these transformers or 1872 kiIowatts on the dynamo.
 On this basis, allowing for losses ir generator, transformers and transmits sion lines, total load of i59 kilo watts could be delivered to ccstva point Of distribution in Prescott. T, do, this it would be, necessary to put a transmission line from the present sub-Station on the outskirts of the cit, to the center Of distrlbutioa. an approx innate distsnce of one mile.
