City Plants Are insufficient.

In 1902 the United States department
Of commerce and labor published a
special census report on electric light
and power stations. compiled by L.
Commerford Martin. editor Of the Elec-
tricai World and a recognized author
ity on the subject A comparison OF
the statistics of municipal and private
plants given in this report demon
strates the far greater efficiency Of the
latter, as the following table shows:
Private. Munic.
Output IN kllowatts per wage
earner' employed. u07H YAO
Output in kilowatts per 81 OF
wages Observation-Disclosures. lIV 100
Average wages per year,. f6o9 RH
sOnly operative wage earners are con-
sidered, because In large number OF mu-
nicipal plants all or part OF the clerical
work is done by other departments. The
operative wage earners. however, perform
the same duties in both municipal and
private plants.
On the basis OF wage earners EN-
ployed the output Of municipal plants
is only ~ per cent Of that Of private
plants, and In spite Of the lower wages
paid In municipal plants their output
per 81 of wages is only 81 per cent
OF that of private plants. The chief
loser by this relative inefflciency Is Of
course the public that pays the bills.

there was great commotion until the
tiger rolled over dead in front OF the
main entrance.
Markell" the tiger, and his mate,
Agnes had been restless for some
time before the accident. They were
about to be fed, and at the sight of
the meat Markell" beat furiously with
his paws on the door of his cage The
door gave way and the tiger sprang
from his cage to the neck of a Shet-
land pony fifteen feet away. The ami
mails keeper seized an iron bar and
struck the tiger between the eyes.
Markell released his grip on the
ponys neck and leaped to the back of
another pony. Again the keeper felled
him with the iron and he relinquished
his hold on the second pony, only to
seize a third.
Another stiff blow from the iron
drove the tiger from his prey and he
leaped into the crowd.
The tent was well filed and the peo-
pie fed in every direction, most of
them crowding out under the canvas.
