On April the city of Dallas, Tex,
voted on the question Of whether $780,
600 should be taken from the general
fund for the purpose Of erecting a mu-
nicipal light and power plant. The
voters said no by the following vote
For the plant, 1910; against the plant,
2,31S.
1t Is particularly interesting to note
in connection with this that two other
propositions of somewhat similar ma
ture, but not involving municipal own
ership or any socialistic scheme. were
voted on at the same time, and that
both Of these carried. One was to au-
thorize a $4,000 bond issue for the
erection of an industrial home for boys
and girls, and the other was for levy
ing a special and additional tax of one
tenth of l per cent on each S100 for
school purposes. The fact that both Of
these carried and the municipal owner
ship scheme failed shows that the vot-
ers of Dallas know how to discriminate
between the good and the bad.

The People Want Service.


Under this heading the Buffalo News
says editorially:
"The watchword Of wisdom In pub
lie service now is private ownership
under public control. The fair meas
ure of return in any department of the
business of lighting, watering, trans
porting or heating city is coming to
be understood, and through statutes or
commissions just rates of charges are
being established and a reasonable
quality Of service eXacted. All that the
impossible ideal of public ownership
could secure may be had, yet without
losing from the assessors book large
property values for taxation and with
out loading the service with an army
to do the work Of political bosses at
the same time that it is grossly incapa
BILE of rendering the duty for which il
is paid.
"Under the public service principle
business faculty is given its, ample
field for exercise, penalties for bad
service are severe enough to compel
good service and the waste impossible
to prevent in municipal departments is
avoided. A great revenue is obtained
from franchise taxes, and everybody is
happy except the little tin horn blower
who toots for public ownership when a
weeks acquaintance with practical pol
itics would strike him dumb"

DECAY OF STONE.

Even the Densest siIiceous Rocks suo.
cumb to Time.
Whoever expects to find stone that
will stand from century to century, de-
riding alike the frigid rains - scorch-
ing solar rays, without need " repara-
ton will indeed search for 1.-The phi
losopher's stone." There is scarcely
substance which after having been ex-
posed to the action of the atmosphere
FOR a considerable time does not ex-
hibit proofs of weathering. 1t may
even be observed on the most densely
compacted siliceous rocks. The fullest
extent of this inquiry can OILY be to
elucidate relative duration and COM
parative labor Of appropriation to use
full or ornamental purposes.
By examining the various produc-
tons of nature we find evident proofs
Of her industry in all ages. Changes
have been going on from the remotest
antiquity to the present time on every
substance that comes within our OBJ
servation. All the actual combinations
Of matter have had former existence
In some other state. Nothing exists in
nature but what Is likely to change its
condition and manner Of being. No
material is so durable as always to re-
tain its present appearance, for the
most solid and compact bodies have not
such degree Of impenetra bility and SO
close union of the parts which COM
pose them as to be exempted from uld-
mate dissolution.
Even in the great globe which we In
habit nothing is more evident to geolo-
gists than perpetual series of>2ltera-
tons. There can be discovered no
vestige of beginning, no prospect Of
an end. In some bodies these changes
are not so frequent and remarkable as
IN others, though equally certain at a
more distant period The venerable re-
mains Of Egyptian splendor, many Of
them executed In the hardest granite

exhibit large portions Of exfoliation
and gradual decay. thereby following
the primitive, immutable and universal
order Of causes and effects-namely.
that all objects possess the materials
Of which they are composed only for 4
limited time during which some pow
erful agent effects their decomposition
and sets the elementary particles at
liberty again to form other equally per-
feet combinations. Thus by divine and
unerring laws order Is restored amid
apparent confusion.-Exchange.

Their Interests Identical.

The best interests of the gas COM
panies are best served when those who
direct the gas companies fully realize
that these companies are in business in
precisely the same manner as the mer-
chant. They must manufacture and
sell a good article. They must give
the public as much light, heat and
power for the money as possible. No
intelligent gas appliance salesman to-
day would offer an appliance for either
Of these purposes and recommend as
one Of its advantages that it would
burn more than the absolutely neces-
sary amount of gas. Appliances which
will give the public the most and best
service in either light heat or power
for the smallest amount of gas, and
consequently the least money, are
those which it is to the best business
interest of the gas man to recommend
and to install-J. H. Eustace, Presi-

Even colored men Of education and

Obeahism. They often make use Of II

prominent member Of the Kingston

THE SINU0US EEL.
1t Will Bite Long After 1t Has Been
Decapitated.


Eels are peculiar even among fishes.
A strange and mysterious race, the
dif1culty Of killing them is not the
least of their peculiarities. Very many
OF us have been annoyed by the ordi-
nary eel that has seized our worm and
then tangled up our line in its Shiny
COILS. You may cut off the head of an
eel-ln the manner recommended by
the 8 P. c. A.-and leave its body full
OF sQuirms and wriggles, for the eel
Is hateful and uncanny creature.
nave been told that the true method is
nrst to cut off the cells fail and that
aIter this the severance of the head
brings all life and movement to an
end. AS to this l cannot say, for
only heard this recently and have not
since had to deal with a sinuous eel.
A correspondent has cited an instance
OF a conger left apparently dead for
twenty-four hours on the beach, which
tnen bit three fingers from the hand of
small boy who came to handle it l
can we'll believe this. shall not easily
forget the eerie shock which l had on
certain occasion in Wales. had
caught large eel on a night line set
for pike. We had severed his head and
left him for some hours on the bank,
leaving a good hook in his gullet. L.
the evening he was presented to e
small boy, who bore him off in triumph
as a supper dish. Half an hour later
the boys mother appeared, with some
concern and indignation, to relate that
the head had bitten the boy severely
when he tried to remove the excellent
hook. And this was no conger! The
occurrence seemed to me like the hor-
ror in one Of Kiplings most weird sto
ries of uncanny horror. Whether these
posthumous wounds by eels betoken
the remnants of life in their severed
portions or a mere mechanical flicker
of the nervous system only the biolo-
gist could say. And perhaps he would
be only making a guess.-St James

EXPENSIVE CITY BUILDINGS.
Cheaper to Rent Larger Quarters In Z
Private Building Than to Run the
CHICAGO CITY Hall.


Chicago City Hall.
Chicago is having rather enlighten-
ing experience just now. While the
old city hall Is in process of demoli-
tion preparatory to the erection Of a
new building the city departments
have been obliged to seek quarters In
modern Office building. Now, the
owner Of an Office building not only
has to pay for maintenance and re-
pairs and insurance and interest on In
vestment, just as the city Of Chicago
does on all its public buildings, but he
has also to pay taxes and water rates.
These are items Of considerable mo-
ment are included in the cost of rum
ming public buildings. And yet the
Chicago departments find themselves
able to rent commodious quarters in q
private building, with more floor space
than in the old city hall, for less money
than it cost to run that building. The
item Of rent will now be less than it
cost merely to light and heat the city
hall.
The explanation of this remarkable
conC1t1on, OF course, lies In the fact that
the private owner runs his building
economically and efficiently at the low
est practicable cost. The city, on the
other hand, is without the incentive Of
personal profit and runs its building
on lavish and loose scale. More men
are hired than are necessary In order
to have long payroll for the poll
ticians' benefit, and higher wages are
paid than are necessary. The city's
employees have the loafng habit and,
feeling secure in their positions, have
no interest In saving the city's money.
A comparison Of our own great pub
lie building and the cost of running
it with any Of the better class Office
buildings Of the city would beyond
question show that Chicago has no mo-
nopoly Of municipal extravaganza in
that direction. The worst Of it is that
the difficulty seems so hopeless. No
remedy is in sight unless perchance it
is the Des Moines or Galveston COM
mission plan.-Minneapolis Journal.

Queer Plants.

The searcher for curiosities among
plants finds much to interest him in
Kew gardens. There are primroses
which blister the hand If stroked, leaves
divided into two sections which snap
together and imprison any insect which
alights upon them, plants which live
absolutely on air, without any root In
the ground; walking plants, sleeping
plants and plants which grow whiskers.
And all these marvels can be seen by
any visitor for nothing. - London

An English solicitor was defending
fruit broker in an action brought in
London court for the recovery of
S1OO, the price paid for a consignment
OF figs which the plaintiff declared to
be unfit for human food. The defense
alleged that although moderately dis
colored by salt water, as the plaintiff
knew when he bought them, the figs
were perfectly wholesome. The figs

The plaintiff, coster, who conducted
his own case, was skillfully cross ex-
amined. The trial was obviously going
against him, and once or twice he re-
tcrted so hotly that the judge threat
ened to commit him for contempt.
At length the coster grew desperate
and, turning to the opposing counsel,
hoarse and perspiring, he said:
