Love Of the Little Ones.

Let your love 60 out freely and
habitually to little children. The
world will soon pass into their
hands, and without them the world
would be a wilderness, probably in
less than a century. It9 is more
blessed to love children than to be
the object of their love.-Sulphur
Srpings News.
A child is so constructed that it
grieves when it is not loved. And
when it is loved, its heart goes out
in complete abandon to the fOrtu-
nate soul who has captured its con-
fidence by a smile or a kind word.
There he stands, his little face
smeared with dirt, his tiny fists
sunk deep into his eye sockets, his
little breast rising and falling as
each heart throb escapes his lips
because nobody loves him. But
when sister calls to him: Come
Bubby and love me-" one look and
a second of indecision and his soul
goes out through his eyes and hi
streaked face to his immaculate
benefactor, and Bubby and dirt anc
all are cuddled to her breast, AnC
little Paul Dombey hungered anc
wondered: What are the wilC
waves sayinG?"-Houston Post.

Antarctic Land Found.

Valparaiso, Chile, Feb. IL. The
French antarctic expedition under
Doctor Jean NJ Charcot reached
latitude 70 degrees south, longi-
tude 1876 degrees west, and discov-
cred 100 miles of new land to the
west and south of Alexander Is
land.
Doctor Charcot, the commander
is now in Punta Arenas. New land
was discovered far south, the coast
lines surveyed and earlier maps
made complete.
During the first antarctic summer
1908-09. the expedition in spite of
difficulties which threatened to i'm
peril its success, was able to COM
plete the French map as far as Ad-
elaide Island, off the north entrance
to the Strait of Magellan and the
weSternmoSt of the group of Queen
Adelaide Islands. and a stretch of
new land 100 miles long was sur
veyed.
The expedition ultimately reach
ed Alexander Island. The region
was explored and proved to oe bar
ren and covered with icebergs,
glaciers and masses of rock. 1t af-
forded no shelter to the explorers,
who wintered at Petermann Is
land.
The season was comparatively
mild, but bad enough to cause con-
siderable sickness i'll he party.
Numerous interesting excursions
were made among the glaciers.
During the subsequent Antarctic
summer the expedition explored
Deception and Rudgeman Islands
lin South Shetland Archipelago
Followigs this the explorers con-
tinued south, discovering new land
to the west and south Of Alexander
land, and Peter Island was also Wis
tied. The expedition navigated as
far as latitude 70 degrees south
Longitude 120 west.
| Alexander Island, or as it is
sometimes called Alexander land. is
a small island in the South Allan
tic Ocean about latitude SO d efreeS
south, longitude rs degrees west and
is considered to be a part of the So
called Antarctic continent. Il was
discovered by BellinsShauSen in
1921.

WHAT ll|||||jl' IS SUCCESS nc N
| WATER.[|GHT PLANT
Earnings Should Provide
for Ali Operating
Expenses.
MUST MEET DEPRECIATION
Condition of Columbia
Equipment Rapidly
Growing Worse.
MUST MEET DEPRECIATION

Successful operation of water
and light plant necessitates furnish
ing a reliable, continuous, and salts
factory supply of both water and
light" says Dean H. B. Shaw's re-
port to the city council upon the con-
dition of the Columbia municipal
plant. 1T is now becoming customary
ito measure the excellence of service
upon the basis Of Interruptions to it.
Further, the plant must operate eco
|nomically and earn enough profit to
at least keep it properly maintained
and pay reasonable rate of interest
on the investment.
ITO secure reliable and economical
operation a plant must be properly de-
signed, carefully installed, substan-
TALLY maintained and intelligently OPP
Grated.
1.-The Columbia municipal plant Is,
we take it, not expected to realize
profits since the first cost is supplied
by bonds issued by the City and the
interest and principal Of these bonds
is to be paid from sinking fund col
|lected by taxation. On the other
hand, the street lighting and water for
public service especially fire service,
lis supplied by the plant without any
return in the way of income. But
the earnings of the plant should be
sufficient to provide for all operating
expenses and in addition to provide at
least sufficient to meet the inevitable
depreciation.
I'm general the service Of the plant
could hardly be termed satisfactory
as thsre have been many Interrupt
lions to service. This has naturally
been most noticeable in the electric
supply and in the supply of water for
fire service. though in this latter re-
spect an insufficient fire department
and the general combustible charac-
ter of buildings prevents adequate fire
protection with the best of service
from the water plant. In the electrical
operation there are chickering's, short
interruptions due to switching" and
at times dim lights for considerable
periods.
mot only has the equipment depre
ciated considerably in value as shown
by our estimate of valuation, but its
condition is rapidly growing worse, as
continuous operation, with the heavy
loads on the boiler plant, the made
quacy of the steam piping and the
uneconomical operation of the air
|compressors and deep well pumping
together with the labor required for
firing such large quantities of coal,
lnecessitates make-shift repairs, which
in turn keep the plant continually
on the verge of complete shutdown.
1.-THE pumping of water from the
deep well may be called the pivotal
or crucial point in the operation of
the plant. 1t should be remembered
that under the best conditions and ad-
|justments it requires great deal of
power to pump large quantities of
water from some 200 feet below the
surface of the ground. in wells Of
small diameter, and when the air
compressors are working so unecon-
omically and continually needing re-
pairs. the results will surely show in
the coal bills
