GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.
Millions Sunk In Unsuccessful Munich
pal Lighting Plants.

pal Lighting Plants.
During the past few years at least
sixty cities and towns in the United
States have sold, leased or abandoned
their lighting plants. In few cases
they still retain their distributing sys-
TEN, buying the current from some
company, but In most instances they
have gone out of the business entirely.
A number of other places have made
unsuccessful efforts to dispose of their
plants.
AS with few exceptions municipal
lighting plants have been in operation
but short time, this is remarkable
showing of failure and one, it need
hardly be said, that Is sedulouSly avoid
ed by those who for ends of their own
are urging other cities to make similar
experiments.
AS it usually takes some years for
a city to realize how great Il burden
1t is carrying In its lighting plant, 1t
Is probable that the number of admit
ted failures will increase rapidly from
now on, for, as an eminent electrical
engineer recently said, "There are al
ready indications that considerable
number of these municipalities which
have engaged in improper undertake
ings are entering upon a period of
financial difficulty"

Carlyle's dogged Scotch unsympa-
thetic persistency in measuring every
thing by his own ideas was illustrated
by story which Huxley told of their
mutual relations. Carlyle and he were
for long good friends, but had seri-
GUS difference on the evolution ques-
ton in the early stages of the contro-
versy. Tleir personal intercA,fser
ceased in consequence. After an in
terval of many years Huxley happened
to see the Scotchman crossing the
street in London and, thinking that by
cones might be bygones, went up to
him and spoke to him. Carlyle did not
at first recognize him. but when he
had made out who 1t was he at once
said with his Scotch twang as though
he were continuing the last conversa-
ton of years ago: You're Huxley, are
you? You're the man that's trying to
persuade us all that we're the children
of apes, while | am saying that the
great thing we've really got to do is to
make ourselves as much unlike apes
as possible" Huxley, who had hoped
that the weather or politics might have
been admitted for the sake of peace.
soon found that the best thing he could
do was to retreat and return to their
tacit agreement to differ.

HOW TO SHOW A PROFIT.
Tricky Bookkeeping Puts Losses on
the Profit Side.


the Profit Side.
The printed report of a municipal
electric light plant in Indiana has just
been received. 1t shows profit. There
is no question about it. 1t shows a
large profit. The figures are there in
black and white. and they show a
profit equivalent to 80 per cent of the
gross income and Is per cent on the
capital invested. That is what we call
a profitable business.
How was this plant able to make so
good showing? In way so simple
that any municipal plant could adopt
1t with success If Its superintendent
were good at figures. And the best Of
it is that it makes competition by prl.
vate plants impossible because-well,
stockholders are too inquisitive.
In the first place the fixed charges
for interest on the capital invested and
for depreciation were entirely ignored.
Then no allowance was made for taxes
lost by having municipal instead of
private ownership. Next, while full
charge was made against the water de.
partment and the city offices for lights
and supplies, the superintendent con-
venienty forgot to charge the lighting
plant with the water used in it's boil
ers and condensers or with its share of
the salaries in the city accounting de.
partment Insurance was also over
looked Finally, to make assurance OF
profit doubly sure. a number of items
properly pertaining to maintenance
were charged to new construction
At the same time the charge for street
and public building lights was quite as
high as in surrounding cities served
by private companies, which had some.
how or other to provide for all these
omitted items.
It is perhaps needless to add that ex-
cept for the judicious way In which the
superintendent prepared his report a
considerable deficit would have appear
ed instead Of the gratifying profits. OF
course the taxpayers will have to pro-
vide the money to make good these pa
per profits, but they may not for somo
years see the connection between their
profitable plant and the higher tax
rate, and meanwhile are happy In the
contemplation of its profits and will
doubtless testify enthusiastically to the
benefits of municipal ownership.
From the above we may deduce the
following rule for showing a profit:
First, omit all items of expense that
can without too much danger of de-
lection be saddled upon the general
tax list or other departments; second,
charge in as vague a way as possible
to new construction as many items OF
maintenance as may be necessary to
show a large profit. IN. B.-The profit
must be large to provide for the con-
tingency of some carping critic discov-
ering one or more of the concealed
items of expense and ruthlessly draw
ing them forth from their hiding
places)
If the above rule is scrupulously fol
lowed there seems to be no reason
why every municipal plant should not
show a proft-"Concerning Municipal
Ownership"

You are born Ninto life a thousand times, but into death only once. We do not formulate laws from occasional phenomena. but from continuous ef- fects. Life is continuous; death is momentary. Death is only cloud that soon passes away and leaves life happier and brighter. At the ere ation, life flowed on, boundless as the ocean. Death came after life, not be- fore. Millions of beings have been periShing throughout all ages Of the world, but what of thatP The Ocean of life has flowed on as If it's waters had never been disturbed. Passing ships or stormy winds make great bubbles or roaring foam on the bosom of the ocean, but the froth and bubble disappear, leaving the ocean calm and placid in his great depth.

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.
[Bv F. E. sTURGEs, BETHEL, CONN.

In the XXVIII chapter of Mathew, "All Hail! Be not afraidI' These were His first words after He arose from the grave. The women went and looked into the sepulcher to find Jesus. The Angel said unto the women "fear not ye; for l know that ye seek Jesus, for He is risen. Come and see the place where the Lord lay" And they departed quickly from the sepuIcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring His disciples word. Jesus met them on the way, saying, "An hail. D worshipped. Then said Jesus unto them: "Be not afraid" Tell my brethren in Galilee they shall see me. The first words that our Master spoke when He arose from the grave were ''All hail, Be not afraid" They might How cheerful they sound. No chill, no terror, no dread, no ghastly fog of the grave clings to the Christ. He comes from the Spirit land, from the regions of the dead, and His message has no fear. It is full of spiritual preta tion of the grave is this? What has the grave to say to you and to me and to everyone who looks into itf What cheer has it? What comfort has it? What does it say but 1T am the end of all.''
 We go from the clasping and the kiss to the grave, which has neither careSs nor kiss. We bury our dead and look wistfully into it's dark bosom. As the soil drums upon the coffin with horror in the sound, it seems to say "All is forever over." Earth to earth the grave on the first Easter morn ano His voice has different message. "Al Hail, Be not afraid" We are h 3ereC | and comforted now and feel that that | One has come at last who holds the SO | lution of the mystery of death. Now tiOn joy.
