A CHEAP LESSON.


New York Abandons Its Experiment In
MunIelpa! Lighting.
About two years ago the city of
New York installed at a cost Of &122.
948 combined garbage incinerator
and electric light plant the current
developed being used to light the VII
liamsburg bridge. The intention was
to effect q saving over the cost Of
lighting the bridge by contract, and
after the plant had been in operation
SIX months Commissioner Woodbury.
estimated that the saving amounted to
about 40 per cent
1t 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 q loss, and, al
though they are chary about giving
figures, the best information obtaina.
Bile Is to the effect that the loss amount
Cd to about SIS. 900 year as compared
with the cost by contract In other
words. It 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.
1t Is fortunate for New York that II
made its electric lighting experiment
on a small scale. for II 1t had under
taken to do all its public lighting and
had sustained a proportionate loss The
effect on the tax rate (nnd indirectly
ON rents) would have been such az to
make the M. O. advocates move to some
locality where their theory had not be-
come a condition. AS 1t Is the lesson
will be cheap at the pricsNif 1t has
been really learned.

Far away on one Of these islands,
whose miniature shores are washed by

at time live absolutely to themselves

on the island.
The Midway Islands consist of two
strips Of land of a few acres each; one
called Sand or Western Island. the
other Eastern Island. Sand Island is
the home of the marines, and of the
stay Of operators through whose hands
messages to and from all parts Of the
world pass daily. This heap of sand
in the Pacific is mile and a half in

width. The highest point of land.
known as Observation Hill, is only fl

Cities Get Rid Of Their Lighting Plants
at a Loss to Save Themselves From

The mayor Of English, Ind, writes
that the municipal electric light plant

because Of the financial loss to the
city" AS Il had been operated only
five years, this makes the depreciation

but instead to spend $4,000 on new

The president Of the village of Mil
ford Center, O., writes that the mu-
nicipal electric light and water plants
were sold for $685.. The latest re-.
port available gives the amount Of
bonds outstanding as $4,000.
Prior to its lease ten months ago the
electric light plant Of Linton. Ind. was
badly run down and was costing the
city from $500 to $500 a month owing
to incompetent management. It Is III

service furnished by 1t Is in marked
contrast to what was supplied when 4.

The municipal electric light plant of
Gravesend, N. Y. constructed at cost
Of approximately $4,000, was never
put into operation and was sold for
$81, 100 after the annexation OF Graves

The electric light plant bought by the
city council Of CarrOllton, Ga, was op.
Grated only q few months ON account

OUR GREAT NAVY.
England Will Be Unable to Keep Up
With Our Construction.


The fact that the United States is
now recognized in Europe as first
class naval power will have consider
able effect on the two-power standard,
which for some time has been the key
stone of British naval policy. The ref
erence which Mr.. Halidane, the Secre-
tary of War. made to that subject the
other night, will certainly be dis cussed
and canvassed. But it needs no
prophet to fOretell that, if America be
one of the powers included, adherence
to the twOpower standard will become
increasingly difficult and costly.
There is no doubt that hitherto
standard has had reference mainly to
the European powers. The United
States has not been excluded, but their
position is so different from that of
the powers nearer home that their
naval power has never been recoi ded
as a menace to any European country.
Mr.. Halidane pointed out that it
would become increasingly difficult to
maintain the two-power standard if
Germany and the United States were
the two powers whose navies were to
be made the standard 1t may. how
ever. be assumed that in the future
America will not be reckoned on as
one of these powers. II she chooses
to enter on course of naval expan.
sion it would be hardly possible for
Great Britain to compete with her.
Within twenty or thirty years she
will probably have three times the
population of the United Kingdom, and
to build fleets which would equal or
exceed both Americas and Germany's,
as Mr.. Halidane said, would be a very
difficult task. 1t will probably be
found. therefore. that in maintaining
the two-power standard the British
Admiralty will have in view two Eu-
ropean powers.

On one occasion the British lost
point In their war with Russia by rea-
son OF an error IN their geography
This was when Commodore Elliot had
succeeded In blockading the Russian
fleet In the gulf of Saghalin. on the
east coast of Siberia. The Russians
were In a cul-de-sac. and the British
ships waited contentedly for such time
as the enemy should venture to put 10
sea. But they waited In vain. and at
last an investigation was made. II
was found that the Russian fleet had
vanished. While the British commo-
dore waited at the south end OF the
gulf. the Russian ships slipped away
through the shadows at the north end
into the sea OF Okhotsk. Until this
discovery was made the British gov
ernment had believed Saghalln to be
peninsula. Now, too late. they
learned that II was an island. with a
very narrow chanhel at the north end
of the gulf running Into the sea
