The River Seine has once more to listen to the anathernas of perspiring and thirsty Parisians. It's water is neither cool nor clean. Those who run down the steps at the riverside to swim & few strokes in one of the quaint old floating baths 50 picturesquely described by Du Maurler, probably expect nothing better than what is given them, for which. after all, the sun, the quiet and the fresh air, are some compensation. But it is not tho same for the housewife or workman who seeks refreshing bath in the morning or a cooling drink at night. The water of the Seine comes to them at a tempera- ture of 60 degrees, and with a color which is evident as 1t is indefinable. The color is characteristic and peculiar.
 Consequently there are thousands Of complaints. At present an eighth part of the city's water supply is taken from the river. and. as usual, the poorer quarters on the eastern edge of the city are the first chosen by the water man. agers. To the bitter complaints Of these citizens today are joined those of emil
 nent doctors who rightly point out tha. with the existing high prices of natural mineral waters in Paris few of those who are deprived of the regular supply can have recourse to drinking table waters If guaranteed purity.

Ky GEO. DUFREsyE

| Paris, July 29.-(Special.)--In connection
 with labor union matters there is an in
 teresting announcement concerning the
 notorious labor leader, King" Pstaud
 who distinguished himself from the point | of view of the proletarat by calling out the electricians and plunging ,he city in darkness. King Pataud now seeks to
 obtain distinction in another sphere of &C., tivity. Ills recent debut as a dramats-
 has put the notion into his head that of
 the few men who can really write. well he is one of them.
 Pataud does not see why he, should not have some of the 1aurels which so to NJ. Paul Bourget Apparently he believes that there is more money in writing than in acting as secretary for the electricians So he has thrown up his job, and tho electricians are now seeking a man 10 succeed him. Pataud has started his ship
 on the somewhat stormy sea of literature with a very light heart. He is taking no stock of the possibility of his encounter | ing adverse winds. He has already been offered work. He desires to capture a large public at once. and to this end he
 will write for a newspaper which has q large circulation.

Experiments of great interest from an agricultural point of view are to be con ducted on the Eiffel Tower. It is case of utilizing the tower as a means of pre- venting hailstorms. M. de Beauchamp has, with the aid of electric poles over 60 feet high prevented land within ra- dius of two miles from being ravaged by hail. If similar results are obtained from the experiments on the Eiffel Tower, Paris and Versailles, as well as the market garden zones which separate them, will be saved from hail.

There is a great outcry against the Increased cost of living. Everything IS going up. In many cases it is difficult to explain the reason, but in the matter of house rent workmen themselves are
 blamed NJ. DenaiS municipal coun- cillor. has made a patient inquiry and he finds that the cost of building house is 40 per cent higher now than 1t was ten years ago. The rent Of room in new house in 1900 was $35 a year; now it is s65. as the owner wants the same interest on the money put into the property. The higher cost of building is responsible for 1 the agitation against increased rents. And the cause of this higher cost is not only the increased wages paid to workmen, but the apparent aim of the workmen to do as little as possible is also factor. For some time now there have been pre- | tests against the increased cost of meat The prices were too high for people with small incomes, and they took to con- suAning horse flesh, which was about 50 lper cent cheaper than beef. Horsefesh became very popular with the very poor, and statistics which have just been pub lished show that 60.000 horses are con.
 stunned in the city annually in sausages, outlets and steaks. Since the price Of an article is regulated by the demand ther, is, a talk of the price of horse fiesh going up. It may be there will be a shortage of horse flesh, just as there Is difficulty in breeding cattle.

He visited the corner of Bank and Division streets. where it was reported to Conductor Spottswood that there was trouble. and which trouble he was reporting when killed.
 It was found that the trouble was just where Conductor Spottswood was tact or grounded on the pole. the tele- phone wire of the Connecticut com pany also being there.
 Supt. Bogue stated that he could not of course say that it was the New London trouble which caused the con duetor's death. but hhe thought it more probable that ii was. as it simply meant that the current went through him tO the ground and n short dis the circuit, while if it had resulted from the Norwich wires it would have havd to return If miles through the ground to complete the circuit. The New London trouble affected the tele phone wire. he thought.
 Engineer ElWell was in New London Wednesday fnquiring into the cause oi the accident which killed Conductor Spottswood. When interviewed he was his investigation was. He said the death of Conductor Spottswood was not only by an unusual cause, but "un- canny," Just think how he was talk , en off while in the act of telephoning, intimating that it was entirely unfore- seen and an accident which no one would think of guarding against"
