An ingenious device by which the
depth of a swift river above a high
fall in Ontario was accertained is de-
scribed in the Engineering an Mining
Journal. 1t was too dangerous to
make soundings from a boat, so Mr..
Hixon planted transit wire on one
bank, and from 1t carried strong
wire, with heavy lead weight at the
end, to the opposite shore. The wire
was drawn out, and the weight was
gradually pulled across on the bottom
of the river. At stated intervals a
sight along the wire from the transit
to the point where the wire dipped in
to the water gave the inclination OF
the straight line. The length of sub
merged wire and its angle with the
water surface being known, it was
easy to calculate the depth at the
various points.

last reason is the strongest plank in

Senator Mccullough, who intro
duced the bill for the repeal OF the
Is almost certain OF passage because
both parties wish the law wiped OF
the books. He points out that 1t was
q part of the Democratic state plat
form that this law should be repealed
and the appointing power returned to
the hands of the mayor and common
councils OF the cities affected. He al
30 points out that in ten OF the four
teen towns that are now working un-
der the metropolitan police law the
mayor is a Republican. Therefore, he
says, it will be to the interest of the
Republicans to repeal the law, be-
cause in these eleven towns the may
tor will have the power to name Re-
publican police boards and thus as
sure these cities Republican control
of the police department.
IL Cities Affected.
The fourteen cities affected are An
herson. Elkhart. Elwood, Hammond,
Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Lafayette, Lo-
gansport, Marion, Michigan City,
Muncie, Richmond and Vincennes.
The only ones of these cities that
have Democratic mayor are Lafay-
cite, New Albany, Jeffersonville and
Richmond. All the rest have Repub-
aican mayors.
And yet there is rumor that the
Republicans are likely to caucus on
the measure and seek to make 1t a
party fight pure and simple in order to
defeat the repeal bill. At least that
was the word given out last night by
one of the Republican Senate leaders.
Challenge Was Made.
1.-THE Democrats made the repeal
Of the Metropolitan police law a par
ty measure by placing it in their
platform" he said, land this makes 1t
necessary for. the Republicans to a,-
cept the challenge and fight it. It
may get through the House all right,
but 1t will not pass the Senate"
One Republican Senator, however,
said the repeal bill will pass the Sen
ate and that some Of the Republicans
will not be bound by any caucus agree
ment to oppose 1t.

Otis SINNERS latest success will be
the attraction at the Gennett theater
Jan. rs.
A novel by Balzac provided the
groundwork for the play in which
Otis Skinner will be seen here. To
the devotee of Balxac or even to the
ordinary reader, his romance OF Men
age de Garcon" might seem the least
possible of his works to afford the
germ or play. All critics OF today
from Saintbury down. pronounce Bal
rae the most modern of French fic-
ton writer's Of his decade. So 1t re-
mained for NJ Emile Fabre to utilize
the last hundred pages Of "Menage de
Garcon" for a play. AS produced at
the Theater National de FOdeon, in
1903. it achieved a run of four con-
secutive months. M. Gemier who
played the dominating part of Phil
|ippe Bridau, not only won the triumph
Of his career as great character ar
fist, but his portrait In the part was
the most conspicuous and greatly ad-
mired in the Salon of the following
spring.
After four months at the Theater
National de pOdeon, M. Gemier trans
planted the play to the Theater An
tome where it excited ever greater
enthusiasm than at its birthplace.
Such play would not go begging
for production on the English and
American stage and Charles Frohman,
who dominates the French market by
justice of his dealings with the play
wrights of France, secured the alien
rights to the play for Otis SINNERS
use.
AS produced in New York last sea-
son, the play ran for four months at
the Hudson Theater, to Overlooking
houses.
