A CHEAP LESSON.
New York Abardons Its Experiment In
Muricipa Lighting.

About two years ago the city of
New York Installed at cost OF $122,-
84S combined garbage incinerator
and electric light plant, the current
developed being used to light the VIII
liamsburg bridge. The intention was
to effect saving over the cost Of
lighting the bridge by contract, and
after the plant had been In operation
six months Commissioners Woodbury.
estimated that the saving amounted to
about 40 per cent.
IL was therefore somewhat Of sur
prise to those who were not aware Of
the real facts TO learn that the lighting
plant had been shut down. The engi-
neers In charge frankly admit that the
plant has been run at loss, and, al
though they are chary about giving
figures. the best information obtaina-
BILE Is to the effect that the loss amount
ed TO about $4,000 year rs compared
with the cost 10y contract. In other
words. II cost the city with free fuel
about twice as much to light the
bridge as a private company charges,
although the company has to buy Its
fuel
IL is fortunate for New York that II
made It's electric lighting experiment
on small scale, for II II had under
taken to do all its public lighting and
had sustained a proportionate loss the
effect on the tax rate (and indirectly
ON rents) would have been such as 10
make the NJ. .. advocates move 10 some
locality where their theory had not be-
come a condition. As II Is the lesson
will he cheap at the price-if II has
been really learned.

Cities Get Rid Of Their Lighting Plants

Cities Get Rid Of Their Lighting Plants
at q Loss to Save Themselves From
Greater Loss.
The mayor OF English, Ind, writes
that the municipal electric light plant
was sold for 35 per cent OF It's cost
because Of the financial loss to the
city" AS II had been operated only
five years, this makes the depreciation
13 per cent a year.
The municipal light and water plants
Of England, Ark, have been leased to
G.. w. Morris for six years. The rea-
son assigned for this action is gross
mismanagement."
Although the qualified voters Of Val
ley City, n. D., at an election called for
the purpose, voted by majority Of
nearly three to one to sell the electric
light plant, the city council by vote
OF four to three has decided not to sell,
but instead to spend $4,000 on new
machinery. Apparently the plant is
too valuable a political asset to be sur
rendered at the mere call Of the tax
payers, twice repeated.
The president Of the village OF Mil
ford Center, o., writes that the mu-
nicipal electric light and water plants
were sold for $5,335. The latest re-
port available gives the amount OF
bonds outsta nding as $4,000.
Prior to It's lease ten months ago the
electric light plant Of Linton. Ind, was
badly run down and was costing the
city from $500 to $500 month owing
to incompetent management 1t is al
ready on n paying basis. and the fine
service furnished by 1t IL In marked
contrast to what was supplied when II
was operated by the city.
TIE municipal electric light plant OF
OF approximately $4,000, was never
put into operation and was sold for
$31, 100 after the annexation Of Graves
end to Brooklyn.
The electric light plant bought by the
city council Of Carrolton, Ga, was op-
Grated only few months on account
OF the protests OF the citizens and was
turned over to the former owners.
In 1901 the city Of Dunklrk, Ind,
purchased the electric light plant, as
sumng the bonded Indebtedness OF
S23, 800 As II was not paying It's way
the city effected compromise with
the bondhoders, to whom the plant
was turned over, the city making
cash payment Of $1,000. The mayor
writes that the sale was due to "politi-
cal changes I'm control"
A municipal electric light plant was

the generating plant was shut down
and has stood idle ever since, power
being supplied by private company.
An electrical engineer who devoted
some weeks to rehabiitating IL writes
that the municipal electric light plant
OF Montpelier. Ind, was complete
failure and that II was turned over to
the present owners for dollar on
condition that they would assume the
outstanding bonds ($3S 5000. The city
got nothing for the funds contributed
by the citizens to make repairs. An
other authority states that for three
months before the sale there had been
no street lights available and for part
of that period no incandescent lights

II MspoIed the SaIutstion, but the King

An American who years ago served
as our minister to Spain was fond OF
telling the following joke upon him

Shortly after he had become settled
IN his new home he was Jidden TO a
state ceremonial, where he was 10 he
presented TO the king. His knowledge
Of languages was limited TO English
and French. and being desirous OF ad-
dressing the sovereign in his own
tongue he took pains TO coach" for
the occasion. Several phrases were re-
hearsed until he felt that he had mas
tered them. When the critical mo-
ment arrived, he saluted the king with
great dignity, spoke few words in
Spanish and passed on.
What did you say?' asked IN Eng
lish gentleman.
IL spoke in Spanish" was the re-
jolnder. IL said. I east myself at your

spectful form Of salutation."
"Ah no." corrected Spanidrd. who
had been observed To smile at tie am
hassadnr's greeting. "YOu ar" mis-
taken. You tranSpose1 your words and
quite altered the meaning"
"What did say:" asked the diplO-
mat.
With Il twinkle i'm HIS eye the Span

But the King had not betrayed by so

THE GREEK MYRMEX.
Il Was the DeadIiest Weapon Of the
Ancient Puuiist


The four ounce glove was unknown
to the ancient pugiist When the
boxers and fighters came together In
the old days OF Greece they wore up
on their hands the cestus. which was
In itself terrible adjunct to any
fighter. But Dr. Daniel g. BritOn dis
covered that there was sometimes at
tached to the cestus deadIier wcnp-
on. consisting OF a three pronged fork
Of bronze.
This was known rs the myrmex. and
DR.. Brinton. who found this specimen.
gave Il to the museum OF archaeology
I'm the University Of Pennsylvania.
Classical literature has frequent ref
erenoes TO the mYrmex. which is de
scribed rs the deadliest weapon Of the
ancient pugilist. The right hand was
swathed I'm tough hide. bound I'm place
with thongs and supplemented 10y
small knobs OF lead or iron. 10 which
was affixed the myrmex. DR.. BrintOn
made his discovery In Paris by eX-
amining the Greek and Roman mar.
bles in the Louvre. One Of these
groups represented fighter bearing
on his right fist the cestus and myr-
mex.
Combats In those days were much
more brutal and dangerous than those
Of the modern prize ring. 1t is easily
seen that single blow Of the myr.
mex might cause death or permanent
injury.

FISHES IN SLEEP.
N Most Species They Experience .
Change Of Color.

Ondn9c OF SoiOfs
The way fishes sleep Is study
which few people have taken up, but
which is nevertheless very interesting.
They are very light sleepers and fire.
auently assume singular positions, but
the most remarkable thing IL the
change OF color which the majority
OF them undergo while asleep. Usual
ly their spots and stripes become dark
er and more distinct when they have
successfully sought temporary OBJ
livion.
Sometimes the pattern Of their col
orlng is entirely changed. The ordi-
nary porgy. for instance, presents In
the daytime beautifully iridescent hues
playing over It's silvery sides. but at
night. on falling asleep. it takes on
dull bronze tint. and six conspicuous
black bands make tLeir appearance
on its sides.
If IL Is suddenly awakened by the
turning up OF the gas In the aquarium
Il Immediately resumes the silvery
color that IL shows by daylight.
Naturalists ascrlbe these changes to
the principle Of protective coloration"
and point out that the appearance OF
black bands and the deepening Of the
spots serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid the
sea aweeds.-Buffalo Times.
