Ordered Sold by the Voters.

The lighting plant owned by the in
corporated village OF Waddington, n.
Y, was sold after the voters had so or
dered at a special election. The presl-
dent of the village writes briefly. but
eloquently:
''The property was sold for $1,000;
cost, $1,000; five years used. The vii
lage was sore on the property"

More Profitable to Sell.

The mayor Of Harrisville, w. Va.
states the situation there as follows:
"Some eight years ago this little city
purchased a (naturaD gas plant at a
cost of some $4,000. The revenue
from the plant paid for 1t and left a
surplus. Two years ago we leased
the plant to private corporation at a
generous rental"
So far as we know this is the only
lighting plant transferred to private
parties while being operated at a prof
1t, as this one apparently was. 1t is
noteworthy. however. that the people
evidently believed that they could get
better results from the plant if it were
under private management or they
would not have leased it.

A Frog of Peculiar Habits.

South America has a frog of peculiar habits. Dwelling in the virgin forests at the tops of the highest trees. it chooses as a site for its nursery some hollow stump and then proceeds te line 1t with resin procured from trees in the neighborhood. This lining serves to catch and hold the rainwater witt which it quickly becomes filled. As soon as this takes place the eggs arc laid therein. and here they undergo de velopment into tadpoles. How the re sin is collected is a mystery, nor is il yet known how the separate pieces be come welded to form the water tight basin necessary to insure the safety of the treasures deposited therein.

it is charged may have something to

The three principal companies are
said to be affected by the new consoli-

and would prevent competition be-
