Was Cousin Julius pulling the strings in some I'M

pooh-poohed the notion; but
the timid little waiter was SO
woebegone that the King
pitied him.

angry with me for bringing

Despite its sinister signifi-

Felix had not told him the

he knew that the hunchback's

that his silence was dictated
by some powerful motive. In

BASIN STOOD
FRESHET TEST
Director Ezekiel's Report Showed
How James River Water
Was Cleared.

The report Of Director q N. Ezekiel
of the settling basins, now In the Su-
perintendent's hands, shows that last
month the James River was more tur-
bid than during any month since so
ing into opera ton, and from the tenth
of the month on very muddy water
filled the river.
The average river turbidity, for the
month was 1914, the average turbidity
of the water as it left the basins for
the pumping station 3.6. reduction OF
IS per cent. Tho color was reduced from
10 in the raw river water to an aver
age of 5.S in the treated water. or o
reduction of ~ per cent. The bacteria
per cubic centimeter in the James
River had monthly average Of 2.S61,
In the clear water the average was 81
per cubic centimeter, or 80 per cent
reduction between the two waters.
During June 431,t16,200 gallons OF
water were supplied the pumps, dat
~ average of 14.3s0.54O. This was the
largest amount Of water taken from
the basin any month since they were
put into operation. Considering the
river under freshet conditions last
month and the quantity of water the
basins cleared, the Water Department
feels certain that no conditions can
arise in the river that the basins will
not be equal to handle.

ELECTRIC STORM
Wild AND FIERCE
Whole Sky Ablaze for Hours,
While Tin1id Folk Were
a, Terrified.

Richmond last night experienced one
of the most spectacular electrical
storms in Its history. 1t was fierce
while il lasted, and 1t lasted a good
while. Tihaid ones buried their heads
meath the pillows or sought protec-
ton in closets and in prayer. 1t was
not the kind of storm nervous people
enjoy.
Following day of sizzling heat, the
storm broke just before nightfall. For
several hours the heavens appeared
intervals OF hardly a seconds dura-
ton. The atmosphere was surcharged
with electricity; 1T seemed to come
from no particular direction of the
compass; the entire armament resem-
bled a mass of lurid flame. So vivid
was the lightning, and of such fre-
