Electric Lighting Plants Short Lived.

During the past year the technical
press has recorded the breaking down
of large number of municipal elec-
tric light plants because the equipment
was worn out 1t is interesting to note
that in large majority of cases the
necessity for abandoning or renewing
the plant came at period of from ten
to fifteen years after it had been in
stalled, showing that the deteriora-
ton by wear alone amounted to from
Z to 10 per cent year.
According to the municipal owner
ship advocates who claim that an al
lowance of per cent for depreciation
Is adequate, these plants should all
have lived for thirty years, yet wear
ing out is only one of the forms of
depreciation, and most of these plants
had been hopelessly out of date Before
their breakdown occurred.
Other cities may we'll take warning
from the experience of these and make
an allowance for maintenance and de-
probation far in excess of the esti-
mates of interested parties If they
would avoid the thankless task of pay
ing for broken down plants out Of the
tax levy.

Salt and Fresh Water Lakes.

Fresh water lakes are always only
expansions of rivers, due to the par
ticular typographical confguration of a
valley. They are all characterized by
the fact that the water that they re-
eeive runs out either continuously or
intermittently and that the chemical
constitution of their water remains
constantly the same as that Of the
streams and rivers Of the same region.
Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al
ways closed basins, without outlet, and
their water is removed only by surface
evaporation. These facts being we'll
understood, we see at once why the
former lakes contain fresh water and
the others salt water. Water is ma
ture's great solvent. Hardly a single
substance, simple or compound, es-
capes its dissolving action. Conse-
Quently the water that flows over the
earth's surface or in its depths con-
tains constantly in solution substances
that finally accumulate in the great
common reservoir, the ocean, whose
mass, removed only by evaporation,
becomes more and more charged with
saline matter-Paris Cosmos.

Queer Nesting Places.

Birds seek queer places in which to
build their nests. The robin often be-
gins nesting operations In February.
Any old pot, basket or can which is
lying in a corner Of a garden seems to
be taken possession Of BY robins. They
even build their nests in fowerpots, on
chairs, in bags and tins, old kettles
and variety OF other odd places. But
perhaps the most remarkable place OF
all where robin built its nest was In
or on a cows tail. The tail was hang
ing on the wall of butchers slangh.

built a cozy nest among the long hatr

all of the honors the other day in the
women's tennis doubles before a large
crowd of women on the court of the

Kreigh Collins, the western cham
pion. is looked on as one of the most
dangerous competitors who will play
in the national championships at New
port, R. l.. beginning Aug. 20.
Collins has long been an important
factor in American tennis. He is a
resident of Chicago and several times
has competed in sectional and national
championship Journeys in both singles
and doubles.
Collins plays carefully and yet strong
ly. He reminds one greatly of Hol-

her sweeping victory this announce
ment was received with enthusiasm.
Two years ago Miss Sutton won the
national women's championship At
Philadelphia. and in her recent games
with leading eastern players she has
won repeatedly.
Now that she has regained her old
time form it is generally believed that
she will again win the English and
American championship titles this year
There is no doubt that Miss Sutton is
the greatest woman player this coun-
try has ever produced.
Miss Sutton, it is thought, will have
no difficulty in defeating Helen Ho-
mans of New York, the present Amer
lean woman champion.
Last year at Philadelphia on June 23
Miss Homans won the lawn tennis
championship of the United States in
singles for 1906 defeating in the final
round Mrs. Barger-W of New
York and taking the championship by
default from Miss Elizabeth H Moore
of P. P.ooklyr.
Miss Sutton did not then play, owing
to her presence in England. where she
went to defend her title of champion of
Great Britain. She was defeated by
Miss D. K. Douglass, ex-champion of
Great Britain.
