ELGlN's LOSS 100000.
This Was In the Six Years the Town
Owned Its Eiectr.e' Light Plant.

This Was In the Six Years the Town
Owned Its Eiectr.s Light Plant.
A municipal electric light plant was
Installed in 1888 and leased to pri-
vate company in 1904, 1t is esdmat-
ed that the loss during this period was
at least 100000 as compared with
what it would have cost to light the
streets by contract. A city official,
quoted in 1.-The business of Municipal
ities and Private Corporations Com
pared" gives SlO6.73 as moderate
estimate of the annual cost per arc.
He says:
sThe electricians report shows that
the city has been selling light for from
Is per cent to so per cent less than
the cost of manufacture Members OF
the electric light department admitted
they could not run economically for
less than $4,000 per year. but they
wanted $4,000. Under our contract
with tue private company we light the
same number of lamps and more hours
per year for $15.654, a saving of SO
600 per year. figuring operating ex-
penses only Information from anoth-
er source makes these figures $4,000
and Sl4,326 respectively. Statements
from the light department show that
Ii prone. attention had been given to
repairs of lamps at least $1,000 in coal
would have been saved. Hardly a
Joint IN our whole forty-tive mile cir
cult is seldered 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: y mayor who
was q candidate for reelection attend
ed a dance given by a 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 SO per
month. Il will do it for So" replied
the mayor

Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar. lywe now hear that noise is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely aSsmoke is waste. Decreased comfort Is loss and noise decreases comfort Disturbed minds are loss through re. duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. A rat tling car means worn bearings and a nnprt lived vehicle.

A Eiahtinq Super"

The following little gem was one of the Experiences of Mir. Benson, the Shakespearean actor:
 MT. Benson made professional visit to Dublin, and the rehearsals included the due training of a body of stage assistants to represent the hurried ly retracting supporters of Richard "CroOkback," when that monarch suc- cumbed to the onslaught of Richmond on the field of Bosworth. On the night of the first performance of the tragedy the army that was to fly stubbornly refused to leave the field or to ac- knowledge being vanquished, but turn ing upon the forces of Richmond gave them severe drubbing. Nothing could be found to tame them to proper submission till one of the frank and flleS said:

London Theaters Charm.

One of the delicious treats London offers Americans Is the acting and ac- cessories of her theaters. The or chestra stalls or balcony stalls are very sumptuous and very roomy and are evidently created on purpose to ap- peal to hearty diners. The usher IS very tidy young woman in black dress and coquettish cap and apron, pos sessed of a sweet face and still sweet CT voice You pay her sixpence for each programme. The stage settings are perfect in detail. Best of all Is the elocution of the players. From the rising of the curtain even unto the go- ing down of the same, each and every word uttered is as clear and tuneful as the tinkle of silver bell. You don't have to wait till the middle of the first act before you can even guess what the plot is about. Under these unusual circumstances the interest one takes in
 play is greatly enhanced, and he
 wonders why an American company is
 ,ot as we'll drilled.-Travel Magazine.

The Reason Was Plain.

'There was a woman," said q law yer, "whose husband was killed in a railroad accident. The railroad, to avoid suit, gave her S5,000 damages. The sum satisfied the woman, but a month or two afterward, taking up a newspaper, she read about man who had lost his leg in the same accident, and, behold, this man was given by the company damages to the amount of S7,5OO. It made the woman mad. She hastened at once to the office of the railways claim aljuster. She said bitterly:
 "'TTow is this? Here you give q
 n ST,J0O for the joss of his leg,
 .le you only gave ne 5000 for the
 of my husband
 The claim adjuster smiled fmlabiy
 said in soothing voice:
 Madam, the reason IS quite plain. The S7,5OO won't provide the poor man with a new leg, whereas with your S5,OOO you can easily get new husband and perhaps better one ''- Kansas City Star.

A Curious Widows Cap.

A very curious cap forms the "wid- ow's weeds" of the Australia aborigine in one part of the great island conti- nent. Near the northeast bend of the Murray river it is the custom for wid- ows to attend upon the tombs of their departed lords. Then, after shaving their heads, they cover them with pipe clay, kneaded into paste. The head Is first covered with net to prevent the clay from sticking too tightly to the skin-a misfortune which is partly averted by the amount of grease with which every Australian native is anoint- ed. A layer of this clay several inches in thickness is plastered over the head and when dry forms a sort of skull cap exactly fitting the head on which 1t was nodded. As 1t weighs several pounds, the widows cap cannot be comfortable.

A Story of WheWeIl.

Sydney Smith said of the great Dr.
 Whewell, master of Trinity college. that science was his forte and om- hiscience his foible." On one occa pion two fellows of the college, think Ing to get beyond his range, read up the subject of Chinese metaphysics and then disputed about it in the doctors presence. He listened in silence for a time and then observed, "Ah, see you have been reading paper which I wrote for an encyclopedia of sci ence."

Weather Vanes.

The best weather vanes are made with the greatest nicety and precision, so that they balance perfectly and turn with the least possible wear. The vane is, of course, longer on one side of the socket than on the other, or it would not turn with the wind, but its weight is the same on both sides. If 1t is a narrow vane, for instance, the weight of the solid head is easily made Dqual to that of the longer, projecting, ,ut thinner feather end, and all vanes, whatever they may be, are balanced IS to weight and so adjusted that they turn easily and with the least possible friction

 "Yes. That is the term used in the trade.
