FIGURES COMPILED
ON WASTE OF GAS
]. W.Lapham Furnishes Data
to Indicate Extent of
City's Loss.


the adoption of the commission
form of government would enable
Chanute to employ a commissioner
who would devote his time to the
handling of the gas plant and thus
save to the city considerable money,
]. w. Lapham has secured data
from the records of the city clerk
and the city cashier to show how
the municipal gas plant has been
operated. He has tabulated figures
to show that there is great waste
of gas through leaks in the city
mains. This has been previously
maintained by members of the
city council but figures have not
been compiled to indicate it
definitely.
Mr.. Lapham has ascertained that
in the nine months from January
to Oct. 7, 1911 the city has received
from gas consumers S5o,I24.87
which includes the amounts received
from the consumers who bought at
10 and I-2 cent rates as well as
the regular rate of IS cents per
thousand cubic feet. Subtracting
the amounts paid by the special
rate consumers would leave Sal, o74-
~ which is the amount paid by
domestic consumers at the IS cent
rate for the use of 3I3,82I, 900
cubic feet of gas in the nine months.
The amount of gas purchased in the
same period from d. H. Fisher, the
P. C. C. Co. and the Henry Gas
Co. was 100, 548,4o3 cubic feet.
The difference in the two totals is
200, oo7,8o3 cubic feet unaccounted
for by the records which at a IS
cent rate would be valued at
S45,9I4.67.
To account for this loss Mr..
Lapham estimates the amounts used
for municipal purposes, making IN
each case what he considers a
liberal allowance. He estimates
5000, 900 cubic feet a month for
the Electric Light plant though it
is supplied mostly from the Penny
we'll which is connected directly
with the plant and no record of the
amount is kept by the city. He
figures the water works plant as
taking 6, 900, 900 cubic feet a
month, and he allows 1000, 900
cubic feet a month for free gas,
library, street lights and city hall.
The total for the nine months would
thus be III, 200, 900 cubic feet
which subtracted from the 900, o97-
8o2 cubic feet would still leave
1So, oo7, So3 cubic feet unaccount'd
for. The difference in the gas
pressure at which the city buys and
sells its gas offers further explain
alton of the loss. As supposition
Mr.. Lapham considers that every
consumer of the city gets his gas
at a one pound pressure instead OF
4 ounces at which the city buys the
gas. The difference between the
two pressures is approximately
per cent. Five per cent of the
amount of gas used in the nine
month period by domestic con-
sumers is 15,6o1,o5o cubic feet OF
gas. which deducted from the
$50. oo7, 500 cubic feet leaves 49,
400, 753 cubic feet which seems to
he the amount absolutely lost
through leakage in the pipes belong
ing to the city. This loss does not
take into account the gas coming
into the citys mains from its own
four wells within the corporate
limits which Mr.. Lapham estimates
would be at least "a, 900, 900 cubic
feet additional during the nine

Sheep and Collie Dogs

No one can have an idea Of the great help
the collie is to the farmer who has flock
Of sheep, and by instinct these dogs are
readily trained by any one who will take q
little pains for few days or weeks when
they are young. A correspondent Of the
American Sheep Breeder who spent some
time in Scotland among the owners, says:
"When was in Scotland nothing de-
lighted me more than the intelligence dis
played by those collie dogs. You never
see q sheep man there without his dog.
He is literally in the owners shadow all
the time. / never saw dog that his
owner had to talk roughly to, nor did
see one that did not seem to have knack
at working sheep. Those dogs are worth
two or three men. think we have failed
to make the use of sheep dogs that we
should, and it is largely because we can
not train them or cannot get the right
sort OF dogs to train.
do not believe much in the transmits
sion of acquired characteristics, but it
does seem to me that Q puppy, whose sire
and dam had never seen sheep, whose
prandsire and grandam had never had q
lesson, would not be as easy to train as
one born Of trained parents. II fish lose
their eyes through disuse In many genera
tions in the caves OF the earth, why should
not these wonderful driving instincts
slowly pass away from the best bred
dogs on earth.

Some Criticism Of the Commander Of
the Ark Resented.
Not content perhaps with growing at
the health officials and flushing with the
"screen man., some facetious fellow Of
Wilmington, N. c., has begun finding
fault with, Noah for not killing the two
flies that he took with him in the ark, and
thus have saved the human race from the
pests that scatter germs and make miser-
able the life Of the bald heads.
1t is safe perhaps, but not very generous,
to be blaming things upon man who has
been dead 9s long as Moan, especially
when no blame should attach to man
who obeyed to the letter the command he
received. Being Of mature age Of 600
years and "a perfect man in his genera
tom, and knowing that he, with his fami-
ly, was. to be saved because he could be
trusted, it is not surprising that Noah did
as he was told.
"To keep them alive with thee" he was
told. "Two of every sort shall come unto
thee to keep them alive" was the COM
mand, and Noah, drifting about in his
ark above the tops OF tho mountains,
when even the dove found no resting
place, was dou btless not inclined much to
disobedience. When the ark rested on
Ararat he was again commanded to bring
forth every living thing that was with
him, and what would have been his plight
then il he had exercised no better sense
than listen to man from Wilmington
In the $50 years that followed Noah may
sometimes have thought that it would
have saved him much annoyance il he had
allowed these two flies the freedom of the
spiders parlor, but the citizen Of Will
mington may well shudder. to think OF
M hot might have happened had Noah not
been true to his trust. Go ahead, "swat
the Az" and "knock" the officials, but
don't blame Noah.-Norfolk LEDGER Dis
