is great difference of opinion among /
the members of that body as to the
proper amount that should be allowed !
as the salary for the assessor. There
are members who believe that this
official should be paid $4,000, while at
least one member thinks that the
compensation should not exceed $3.50.
There is little doubt that the salary
will be somewhere between these
figures.
Once the salary fo- the assessor IN ,

only four lights are to be turned on al
one time, and then actually use at the
same time anywhere from six to a
dozen, thus paying for only about one
third of the power used. There is no
way to prevent this abuse on the part
of consumers except by the use OF
meters, which respondent is now be-
ginning to install in order to conserve
power and thereby increase the effici-
ency of the plant. Respondent has
been reluctant to do this and has been
indulgent to its customers, but in view
OF the attacks being made upon 1t, for
its own protection and self preserva-
ton has been forced to resort to the
meter system as the only one which
will work no injustice to the respon-
excessive prices have been charged;
on the contrary comparison Is made
with the number of lights connected
in this and other cities and 1t is
shown that the price per light is less
in Columbia than elsewhere.
The bill then details the many i'm
provements, additions and repairs
which have been made on the plant
since the present ownership. 1t
describes the conditions which existed
when the break occurred last summer
and how the duplicate engine also
failed to work, although it had been
kept expressly for a break down.
However, another engine has been or
dered which will make another occur
renee of that kind improbable If not
impossible. 1t has also sent its engi-
neer to various parts of the country
to investigate certain machinery of re-
cent invention, but same not having
been sufficiently tested by experience
1t was deemed inadvisable to install
the same. The boilers are in excel
lent condition and have ample capaci-
ty to operate at the same time the
water and light plants.
This parting shot is fired at the
city: Respondent AYERS
that complainant should have been
9th to institute this proceeding in
view of the fact that 1t failed to COM
by with it's part of the contract with
for many years, when on
account of the financial condition OF
he city it paid respondent for its
ervice for water and lights in city
which 1t did not and could
'ot cash, and which accumulated to
he amount of about $40, 900, and which !.
espondent at great Inconvenience
nd loss to itself succeeded in carry
1g or having carried rather than to :,
AZURE the credit of the city by insis- -
ng on payment.
The respondent denies that there is :,
ny equity, justice Or reason for the
Ity's demand that the property con- :,
eyed by it should revert to it. w. 8. =

4 Memory of a Lost Delight.

A fireplace any one may have, and to me the wonder is that our civiliZa- ton has abolished the very soul from our northern homes. Fire Is no longer the joy of the household, but the slave. imprisoned in the cellar. An. but it was delicious when the old fashioned family sat together in the great kitchen around the huge fire place. All the evening we told stories, ate doughnuts, drank cider. all the time pairing apples and hanging the long festoons of quarters from the beams. But the dear little mother, she it was who told the best stories while she was knitting mutfiers and socks or nendng our wei. worn cloth ing. There were no parlors at all in those days. and as for thrummed pi- auos. We had not yet heard of them. At Q o'clock, honest and drowsy, we knelt and thanked God for life and love and home. Our hunks and beds and trundle beds were all ill close proximity. and from @-ery one of them we could see the flames. still jumping up the chimney while the big drelog was slowly eaten through. There was not one millionaire in all the world. and. indeed. we were not worried over the affair.-E. r. Powell in Outing Magazine.

Ho Told the Reason.

"The aeronauf to get along must keep his wits about him" said an ar- my official. Under the most adverse circumstances he must not lose his head. Always he must he alert and ready, ke-like-well. like scientist used to know.
 This scientist gave a scientific lec- ture in church one night, and at the lectures end he said. beaming on his audience condescendingly
 "'Now. if there is any scientific question that any of my friends would like to ask. I beg them not to hesitate. shall be only too happy to answer any inquiry in my power
 An old lady in spectacles that gave her a severe, stern look rose and said:
 why do wet tea leaves kill reaches"
 The scientist didn't know they did, let alone the cause of the phenomenon But. never at loss. he replied:
 "'Because, madam. when a roach comes across wet tea leaf he says, Hello. here's bianket"' and wraps himself up in It. catches cold and dies. '"--I.os Angeles Times.

CHINESE TIDBITS.
The Way Vegetables and Meato Are
 Preserved by the Natives.


 In China turnips, several varieties of cabbage and scaweed are often prepar- ed for winter by giving them coat of salt and drying in the sun. A yegeta- ble resembling cabbage is sometimes dried in the sun without salt and put away in shallow baskets until ready for use. They have a way also of mak- ing lind of sauerkraut very much as Americans do. The treatment of cer- tain vegetables In this way is com come from region known as the Kin hua district. in Chekiang province. The hams when dressed and ready for cur ing are carefully placed in vats. A kind of pickle is then prepared of salt, water and q sauce from the soy bean, which is poured over the fresh hams. After the hams have been in the pickle sufficient length of time they are talk en out and hung up to dry and occa- sionally, but not often, smoked, when they are ready for the market. Some times a little nitrate of potash is also added to help preserve them. but this addition is the exception and not the rule. It is reported that In the south hams are cured by means of an alkaline earth and common salt. but so far as can be learned no earth Of any kind is employed in the middle and northern provinces. The famous pickled eggs of China are preserved with a pickle made of common mud, salt. saltpeter and soy bean sauce, all mixed together. The eggs are coated with plaster of this mixture and laid away until ripe, when they are ready for the table. Prepared in this way they will keep several months.

PAPER MAKING IN KOREA.
Hermit Kingdom Supplies Best te
 China and Japan.

Hermit Kingdom Supplies Best to
 China and Japan.
 It is not generally known that the best kinds of paper met with in China and Japan are the product of Korea. It is claimed by many that the Korean paper excels the very best that is made in China and Japan. It is produced entirely by manual labor and without the use of any machinery. The raw material used for tine better kinds is obtained from the bark of the Prous- sonetia papyrifera. which is collected in the spring and beaten in water con taining a large admixture of wood ashes until reduced to q thick pulp. : This is taken in large ladies and spread upon frames of bamboo so as to form thin sheets. NAnother kind of paper is made from old scraps trodden into pulp, much in the same way that grape juice is extracted i'll some coun- tries, and, though this mode of pulp ing is slow. 1t has the advantage of not breaking the fiber so much as when machinery is used.
 After the pulp has beer made into paper the sheets are piled up to a height of six feet and then cut into pieces, to be again subjected to the stamping with the feet. At the same time the roots and seeds of a plant called tackpoul are added, the soluble partstof which are supposed to give tenacity and toughness to the paper Exchange.

Conan Doyle told of m experience which he had when leaving school. His teacher must have been one of those noble old Romans such as Thack- cray describes as roaring at young Pendennis when the major. his uncle. called to take the boy away. When Conan Doyle had finished his course in school the head master called him aside and. after ewing him with ominous dis favor. spoke to him in measured tones as follows: Doyle. have known you now for seven years. and l know you thoroughly.

NATURES MYSTERIES.
And the Little That Man Really & Knows About Them.

NnoWS Apout HcUi.
 seized the opportunity some little while ago on finding myself sitting next to a great physicist of asking him series of fumbling questions on the subject of modern theories of matter. For an hour I stumbled like child, supported by q strong hand, in dim and unfamiliar world, among the mys- terious essences of things. l should like to try to reproduce it here, but ] | have no doubt should reproduce 1t all wrong. Still. it was deeply inspiring to look out into chaos, to hear the rush and motion of atoms moving in vast vorticcs. to learn that inside the hard est and most impenetrable of sub stances there was probably feverish intensity of inner motion. l do not know that l acquired any precise knowledge. but drank deep drafts or wonder and awe.
 The great man. with his amused and weary smile. was infinitely gentle and left me, I will say, far more conscious of the beauty and the holiness of knowledge l said something to him about the sense of power that such knowledge must give. "Ah,' he said much of what l have told you is not proved: it is only suspected. We are very much in the dark about these things yet. Probably if q physicist or a hundred years hence could overhear me he would be amazed to think that sensible man could make such puer- ile statements. Power-no. 1t IS not that. It rather makes one realize ones feebleness in being so uncertain about things that are absolutely cer- tain and precise in themselves. 1T we could but see the truth. It is much more like the apostle who said: Lord, l l believe Help thou my unbelief. The thing one wonders at is the courage Of the men who dare to think they ."-Putnam's

FAST PHOTOGRAPHY.
Developing and Printing Pictures for
CineInatograph Displays.

AS regards the rapidity with which
daily events can be photographed and
shown within an hour or two to the
general public, the following account
of the arrangements made for the
Grand National 1907 race will suffice to
give some idea Of this: Six taking ma
chimes were at work on different points
of the race course and a special van
was in readiness for the films to be de-
veloped while en- route for London.
The moment the race was over the
train started, and while running full
speed homeward the operators were
hard at work developing. Indeed not
only were the films developed, but they
were washed and dried on a special me-
chanical drum.
On arrival a motor car in waiting
carried the film quickly to the printing
establishment, where 500 feet of 1t was
printed on to the positive film. AS soon
as this was dried it was rushed off to
the AIhambra, Empire and Oxford the
aters and shown to an almost incredu-
Ions audience. When the final cup tie
was played at the Crystal palace a mo-
tor car drove the Aim to London, and
within three hours a cinematograph
display of the match was given.
The royal wedding which took place
recently at Wood Norton was another
was displayed by the energetic cinema
tographers The bridegroom and the
procession were photographed with ap-
naratus which had been perfectly ad-
iusted beforehand. The moment the
necessary photographs were secured
the films were rushed through at
hreakneck speed, and, as is well known.
the wedding ceremony was shown to
Tondoners on the evening Of the same
day-London Mail
