"In seeking clear understanding

Engineering In Hospitals.

Practically all the important in.
firmaries and hospitals in England
have their own electric generating
stations. and the size Of the installa-
tions would surprise the majority OF
engineers. The equipment has to be
designed with unusual care. owing to
the special conditions which prevail
in hospital work Even where a pub
lie supply is available. the use Of an
independent system is justified on ac-
count OF the security which 1t gives
against failure of current at critical
moment. The installations are used
for lighting. heating. ventilating. teie-
phoning and other purposes, and
many hospitals have laundries op-
Grated electrically. One county asylum
has its own private electric railway
for conveying supplies from the near
est railway station.

him what he chose. He wondered why
he had not tried to resist. The truth
was Underwood exercised a strange.
subtle power over him. He had the
power to make him do everything he
wanted him to do. no matter how fool
ish or unreasonable the request. Every
one at college used to talk about it.
One night Underwood invited all his
classmates to his rooms and made him
cut up all kinds OF capers. He at first
refused. point blank-but Underwood
got up and. standing directly in front
OF him, gazed steadily into his eyes.
Again he commanded him to do these
ridiculous, degrading things Howard
felt himself weakening. He was sud
denly seized with the feeling that he
must obey. Amid roars of laughter
he recited the entire alphabet stand
ing on one leg. he crowed like a
rooster. he hoped like a toad. and
he crawled abjectly on his belly like
a snake. One of the fellows told him
afterward that he had been hyp-
Noticed He had laughed at 1t then
as a good joke, but now he came to
think of it, perhaps it was true. Pos
sibly he was a subject. Anyway he
was glad to be rid of Underwood and
his uncanny influence.
The train stopped with jerk at his
station and Howard rode down In the
elevator to the street. Crossing Eighth
avenue, he was going straight home
when suddenly he halted The glitter
and tempting array of bottles in a
corner saloon window tempted him
He suddenly felt that IL there was one
thing he needed in the world above
all others 1t was another drink. True.
he had had more than enough already
But that was Coxe's fault. He had
invited him and made him drink
There couldn't be any harm in taking
another. He might as well be hanged
for a sheep as lamb. BY the time
he emerged from the saloon his
speech was thick and his step uncer-
tain. A few minutes later he was
painfully climbing up the rickety stairs
of cheaplooking fiat house. AS he

nue.. Underwood was coming out of
a curio snop. He explained hurriedly
that he had left Yale, and when asked
about his future plans talked vaguely
OF going in for art His matter was
frigid and nervous-the attitude of
the man who fears he may be an
preached for small loan. He was
evidently well aware of the change in
his old associates fortunes, and hay-
ing squeezed all he could out of him,
had no further use for him. II was
only when he had disappeared that
Howard suddenly remembered a loan
of $3.50 which Underwood had never
repaid. Some time later Howard
learned that he occupied apartments
at the exclusive and expensive AS
truria, where he was living In great
style. He went there determined to
see him and demand his money, but
the card always came back mot at

Underwood had always been a mys-
terry to Howard. He knew him to be
an inveterate gambler and a man en-
tirely without principle. No one knew
who his family were or where he

he was always hard up. borrowing

the fire died down, and with a pain
gradually growing about his head and
face from the hardness Of his couch.
Five o'clock in the morning came, and
the steward reused him to say that
the club must now be closed. The
sleeper got up feeling very stir-to
find that the steward was his dentist,
and that the nights adventures had
lasted exactly AZ seconds.

he dressed we'll, drove a smart turn
out and entertained lavishly He was
not identified with any particular busi-
ness or profession. On leaving col
lege he became interested in art. He
frequented the important art sales
and soon got his name in the news
papers as an authority on art matters
His apartment was literally museum

sides We're paintings by old masters,
beautiful rugs, priceless tapestries,

passed for a man of wealth, and moth
ers with marriageable daughters, con-
sidering him an eligible young bach
elor, hastened to invite him to their
homes, none of them conscious of the
danger of letting the wolf slip into the
lambs fold.
What a strange power of fascina-
ton, mused Howard as the train
logged along, men of Underwood's
bold and reckless type WELD, espe-
cially over women. Their very daring
and unscrupulousness seems to render
them more attractive. He himself at
college had fallen entirely under the
mans spell. There was no doubt that
he was responsible for all his trou-
bles. Underwood possessed the un-
canny gift of being able to bend peo-
pie to his will. What a fool he
had made of him at the university!
He had been his evil genius, there
was no question of that. But for
meeting Underwood he might have ap-
piled himself to serious study. left the
university with honors and be now a
respectable member of the community.
He remembered with a smile that 1t
was through Underwood that he had
met his wife. Some of the fellows
limited that Underwood had known
her more intimately than he had pre-
tended and had only passed her on to
him because he was tired of her. He
had nailed that as a lie. Annie. he
could swear, was as good girl as
ever breathed.
He couldn't explain Underwood's
influence over him. He had done with

ALKAL| AND SALT
TROUBLE REMOVED
Source of Trouble is Found And BY
Shutting Out Small Well Water
is Freed.

The city authorities are rejoicing
over the success of the experiment to
rid the city water of the salt and
alkali that has been so pronounced
since the large well at the pumping
station was drilled. The water is now
free from salt as when the first artes-
ian well was discovered in Vinita.
The presence of salt and alkali in
the city water had caused considerable
worry to the city officials, in charge
of the water department. An investi-
cation was made and it was found that
the small well in the northeast corner
of the reservoir was furnishing the
salt. This is one of the small wells
drilled when the water works system
was built, and the fact that no sale
had been noticed pryor to the drilling
of the large well, which was drilled
about twenty-feet from the small well.
led to the theory that the pressure of
the large well was forcing the water
through the salt strata known to exist
at depth of 165 feet into the small
well, which had not been cased. The
same theory was advanced in regard
to the alkali. A considerable quantity
of the alkali is known to exist in the
earth down to depth Of about one
hundred feet. The pressure OF the
large well forced the water through
this into the small well and the latter
carried it into the city reservoir.
The water from the small well has
been cut out of the reservoir and now
the city water is as soft and pure as
before the trouble occurred.
AS soon as the drill is through with
the well at Estella, 1t will be returned
here and the large we'll will be cased
down below the salt and alkali and
then the water OF the smaller we'll can
again be turned into the reservoir free
from the impurities.

STATE CAPITOL COMMISSION
PREPARING RESIGNATION

invalidating the election, which made
Oklahoma City the capital of Okla
homa. There was lull in the COM
missions actiyities. Then came the
special session of the legislature which
passed a bill locating the capital at
Oklahoma City. Nothing of import
ance was performed by the commission
pending a second decision of the su-
preme court in answer to suit filed
by citizens of Guthrie in which the
legality of the act of the special ses-
sion of the legislature locating the cap
ital at Oklahoma City was questioned
The decision upholding the act came
on in due course of time, and it seem
ed the commission would have an op-
portunity to go to work
when the question of locating the
capitol upon site in Oklahoma City
was presented to the special session of
the legislature that body, after con-
siderable wrangling, and out of defer
ence to the determined stand taken by
the senate, refused to adopt the Put
nam proposition and again the commits
sion's intended usefulness was held in
abeyance. Finally the war sent the
capitol in north Oklahoma City
In the meantime the capitol COM
mission has been at standstill. The
legislature now in session has been
fighting to have the commission abol-
ished. The fight on the commission
has been more furious than spectac-
ular, and while no reason would be
assigned Saturday night by Boone Will
liams as to the why's and wherefores
of the forthcoming regisnation, it is
generally understood that past vicissi-
tudes and present complications of
the situation of the commission has
tended to discourage the commission
ers."

OHIO BOYS HAD COME 70
OKLAHOMA TO Be BANDITS

Oklahoma City, Feb. "a. - Charles
White. aged eighteen, and Albert Helf-
ingstone, aged seventeen, were arrest
ed here today, charged with a serious
and spectacular robbery. The boys
confessed to the police. They say
that they left their homes in Dayton
o., a month ago and came to Okla
homa to become bandits, and Saturday
night held up local meat market and
shot the proprietor. Later they con-
fessed that they robbed a drug store
cash register and patrons. A Diamond
Dick robbers outfit was found in the
room.
