greater things.

A rainfall of nearly four inches
in two hours, three inches of the to-
tai falling in an hour, Is unprece-
denied, and unlikely to occur with
any great frequency. At the same
time, the drainage of the city, par
ticularly of the down town district
which is level and liable to overflow
in storm such as that of Monday
night, should be made sufficient to
protect property and to carry off sur
plus water. There is a considerable
watershed north and northeast of the
city whose drainage is through the
city and to the flats below, on its way
to the river. The residence portion
of the city is not so much concerned,
as most of it is high and dry, and dis
charges it's surplus through the prin-
cipal business center of the city. 1t
has been a great many years since
any considerable damage and incon-
venience has been suffered by bust
ness men. 1t may be a great many
years before there will be another
such rainfall as that of this week.
At the same time, the city should
be protected against this possibility
and there should be drainage sur
vey Of the lower part of the city with
a plan for the carrying off of the
surplus water. With such volume
of water as fell in the recent storm,
no sewer of ordinary size would car
ry off the water. 1t is probably feas-
tble to provide some means Of sur
face drainage for use in case of such
emergencies as that of this week.
The matter is one worthy the atten-
ton of the city commission and the
city engineer.

Tho Stean, EnaIne.

The Marquis Of Worcester while lin.
prlsoned In the Tower Of London in
1856 invented and constructed 9 per-
feet steam engine and had It PUBLICLY
exhibited the same year at VauIhall
In successful operation. Thlrty-four
years later, in 1900, Dennis Papin add
cd the piston to the marquis discovery.
In 1893 Captain Savary devised and
built a steam engine different In many
details from those made by Worcester
and Papin, and in 17O5 Newcomb, Cav
ley and Savary constructed their cele-
brated atmospheric engine, which was
complete in every detail. The above
array of historical facts notwithstand-
ing, James Watt, who was not born
until sixty years after these great men
had given the steam engine to the
world, enjoys the distinction Of being
the veritable inventor, originator and
author of the most useful c0ntrivance
Of the present day. Fulton, who lived
and worked in the early part of the
nineteenth century, is given the credit
Of being the man who demonstrated
that steam could be applied to naviga-
tion-this, too, in face Of the well
known historical fact that De Gary
propelled vessel by steam in the har'

THE USEFUL SWALLOWS.

Light Cavalry Of the Avian Army and
Friends Of tho Farmer.
From the standpoint Of the farmer
and the orchardists perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light
cavalry OF the avian army.
Specially adapted for flight and I'm.
excelled ia aerial 5evOlutions, they have
few rivals In the art Of capturing in
sects in midair. They eat nothing Of
vaIue to man except few predaceous
wasps and bugs and In return for their
services in destroying vast numbers Of
noxious insects ask only for sharboraes
and protection. a l. I. ,-. r -. H.

ing weevils on the bolls, and black
birds, wrens, fycatchers and others
contribute to the good work, but when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weeyils flying
In the open and wage active war
against them. As many as forty-seyen
adult weevils have been found In the
stomach of single cliff swallow.

Experiences of Emperor Napoleon !. at
Masked Ball.
The Emperor Napoleon I. once an.
nounced to his valet that he intended
on a certain evening going to ball at
the Italian embassy and requested
that complete costumes should be sent
in advance. The valet, Constant,
obeyed and attended his imperious mas
ter and commenced to dress him ina
manner which might, had the emperor
followed the Wallets advice, have de-
fed detection. Constant had some
trouble with Napoleon over one or tvs
minor matters, but when it came To-
changing his top boots for shoes the
emperor resolutely refused.
Going into the ballroom, Napoleon at
once relapsed into his accustomed at
titude and, wishing to engage lady
in conversation, approached her with
his hands behind his back. To his
nrst question she prefaced her reply
with "sire." Turning away abruptly,
he went back to his room and said:
"You were right. Constant. l have
been recognized. GiveIne another Co.'S
tune and shoes this time"
The valet redressed his master and
warned him to keep his hands at his
side. No sooner had he entered the
room the second time than once more
he relapsed into his natural attitude.
This time lady addressed him, 'Sire,
you are recognized" Once more the
emperor left the room In disgust. =.
Returning to his room, Napoleon
was disguised for the third time. His
toilet complete, he went back to tho
ballroom, which he entered as If it
were a barrack room, pushing and
staggering. He was atonce detected
and some one whispered to him,
'sYour majesty is recognized" An
other disappointment and another
change, still with the same result, and
In the end the emperor left the en-
bassy CONVINCED that it was 1mpossi-
bic to conceal his identity.

This was done, and when Charles II.

something else. and then, too late, the
king was afraid to do anything to re-
call things dangerous to touch, and 30
