Wood Burners In Paris.

Despite all modern improvements, Paris still heats its offices and its houses to large extent with wood. It's bakers and confectioners use hard ly anything else for fuel. It burns up whole forests of timber every year, and extensive forests in several re- gions of France are reserved for sup plying it with fuel. Coal is scarce in France and dear and not of very good quality. Besides, the Parisians arc con- servative in home matters. The cheery appearance of the glowing log on the hearth appeals to them, and most like ly generations will pass before they give up burning wood altogether Philadelphia North American.

ELGIN'S LOSS S1OO,OOO.
This Was In the Six Years the Town
 Owned Its Electric Light Plant.

Owned Its Electric Light Plant.
 A municipal electric light plant was installed in 1888 and leased to pri- vate company in 1904. 1t is estimat- ed that the loss during this period was at least S100,000 as compared with what 1t would have cost to light the streets by contract. A city official, quoted in "The Business of Municipal ities and Private Corporations Com pared" gives S106.T3 as moderate estimate of the annual cost per arc He says:
 ''The electricians report shows that the city has been selling light for from 25 per cent to 30 per cent less than the cost of manufacture Members of the electric light department admitted they could not run economically for less than $35,0O0 per year, but they wanted $45.000. Under our contract with the private company we light the same number of lamps and more hours per year for S15.654. a saving of S20.- 900 per year. figuring operating ex- penses only. Information from anoth- CT source makes these figures $42,000 and $14,3o6 respectively. Statements from the light department show that If proper attention had been given to repairs of lamps at least $2,000 in coal would have been saved. Hardly 8 joint in our whole forty-five mile cir cult Is soldered or wrapped; they are simply twisted together. There Is no estimate of the enormous loss of cur rent over such loose joints, and yet it has been so for sixteen years"
 The following story shows how this plant was made to serve the private ends of the politicians: A mayor who was a candidate for reelection attend ed dance given by local lodge. No ticing how brilliantly the hall was lighted with electric lamps, the mayor said, "How much do you boys pay for these lights?" He was told $35 per month. '"I will do it for $10," replied the mayor.
