REPAIRS TO BURST MAIN
STARTS At MIDNIGHT
Work of Repairing Break in
Pipe Will Probably Take
.=#AHBay +Sunday==

That the cold weather was respon-
sible for the break I'm the water main
at Hurlbut and Kercheval-aves.,
Thursday afternoon, is the opinion
entertained by Chief Engineer George
H. Fenkell, OF the water board. The
break was located early Friday after
noon, Just west of the point where the
water broke through the ground. II
vas about foot wide and five feet
long and in the top OF the pipe Each
section OF the main is IL feet long
and II will be necessary 10 put in an
entire new section. This main was
laid in 1902, and was tested to 800
pounds pressure TO the square inch.
The frost penetrated TO within six
inches OF the top of the MAN," said
Mr.. Fenkell, and my personal opin-
ion is that the pipe was chilled to
such an extent that it was rendered
brittle"
The work OF repairing the pipe will
start tonight. at midnight, and II Is
exnected that IL will take up most OF
sunday As IL will be necessary for

until Monday. although every effort
will be made TO supply them today.
Il Is thought that many OF the service
pipes are frozen up.
Complaints literally poured into the
water office, Saturday morning, from
consumers whose service pipes had
been frozen. The water board refer

CARRIAGES ON TREES
Horticultural Freak of More
Than Usual Oddly.
AbnormaIIy Developed Cabbage Plant
That Has Borne over BusheI
of Small Heads and 10 Still
Growing.

Santa Monica, Cal-Apparently the
time has passed when country folk
were justified in sneering at the ig-
norance of their city relatives for
asking to be shown the cabbage tree,
or to be permitted to help husk the
pumpkins. 1t is true that no well
authenticated case has yet come to no.
tice of pumpkins that needed husking;
but the cabbage tree is no longer a
myth born of ignorance, and persons
who have stood beneath its branches
are agreed that anything is likely to
happen.
So far as known, the original and
only cabbage tree" is growing In the
garden of John A. Pool, 1902 Eleventh
street, this city. 1t is nearly two
years old, and is about nine feet and
in diameter at height of foot and a
half above the ground. 1t has borne
more than a bushel of small cabbage
heads, and many more are yet de-
veloping, so that its days of usefulness
are not yet over Near the top, it
branches in real tree-like fashion; but
Mr.. Pool feels that if cabbage heads
were permitted to develop on these
slender limbs they would certainly
break down the tree. So he cuts out
the heads that begin to form near the
top, but permits those that develop
along the trunk to grow to a size
adapting them to table use.
Nearly two years ago Mr. Pool
bought number of cabbage plants

LIGHTHOUSE HAS NO KEEPER
Flashes Of Light Come Regularly
Every Seven Minutes.

What do you think OF a perpetual

as one maintained by the govern

that means much for navigation. 1t
is volcano on the island of San Sal
vador. This volcanic lighthouse is
about eight miles inland from the port
of Acajutla. 1t is a veritable pillar OF
cloud by day, and the flash of its light
by night has been valuable to marin
ers for years. 1t can be seen far out
at sea, and a burst of fame has gone
upward every seven minutes, without
the variation of second, for many
years.
THE few visitors who stop at San
Salvador amuse themselves the first
few days by holding their watches
and timing the outburst OF fame.
"A lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near
est the volcano. and no skipper OBJ
jects. He knows that the volcano Is
more reliable than the lighthouses
kept by human beings on other coasts.
and the novelty of the light is worth
the price charged by the government.
There is the usual defamation caused
by the eruption every seven minutes
and the ground is shaken, but. after a
short sojourn on the island you fail to
notice it. and would be the more
shocked If it did not occur. WASH

StcrIlIxInq LIouIds.

Perfect sterilization of liquids by
means Of filtration only seems to be
made possible on largo scale
through a process originated by two
French scientists and reported to the
Academy OF Scientists at recent
meeting. 1t Is known that membranes
of collodion have the property OF re-
tanning all the microbes In a liquid
filtered through them. But they are
very fragile and therefore impractical
outside OF the laboratory. By re-en-
forcing tho collodion membrane with
a fine wire screen imbedded In 1t. Just

Bath Kills Man.

Philadelphia. Pa.-Isaac Schneider
took his first bath in two years a few
days ago and it killed him. For many
years Schneider had suffered from
rheumatism and friends had warned
him against letting water touch his
skin, SO he avoided it. But lately an
other friend persuaded him that water
was a cure for rheumatism. He went
to a Turkish bath establishment and
plunged into the pool. Friends assisted
him to the edge. and before a physi-
clan could be summoned he was dead.

from a country woman, and planted

of his garden. All of the plants but
this one developed normally; but this
particular plant early displayed a ten
dency to shoot up in the air. instead
of producing a round and symmetrical
head. After growing several feet high.
1t began to produce numerous small
heads along the stalk, but with no
abatement of It's ambition to keep on
going higher in the world. AS 1t grew
higher and higher, it began to get
top-heavy, and stout stake was
driven in the ground, to which the
plant is tied to prevent 1t from being
blown down.
Inasmuch as the cabbage tree has

seemed az the Garden OF Eden,
Filled with the presence of God,
whose voice was the sound of the
ocean.
Soon was their vision disturbed by
the noise and stir Of departure,
Friends coming forth from the house.
and impatient OF longer delaying,
Each with his plan for the day. and
the work that was left uncom-
pleted.
Then from stall near at hand, amid
EXPLANATIONS of wonder,

Brought out his snow-white steer,
obeying the hand of It's master,
Let by cord that was tied to an
iron ring in its nostrils,
Covered with crimson cloth, and q
cushion placed for a saddle.
She should not walk, he said,
through the dust and heat OF the
MONDAY;
Nay, she should ride like a queen, not
plod along like peasant
Somewhat alarmed at first. but reas-
sured by the others,
Placing her hand on the cushion, her
foot In the hand Of her husband,
Gaily, with joyous laugh, Priscilla,
mounted her palfrey.
Nothing is wanting now" he said

Let all be forgotten between
All save the dear old friendship. and

Then the Captain advanced. and. bow

mingled,
Wishing her Joy OF her wedding, and
loudly lauding her husband.
Then he said with a smile Il should
have remembered the adage,-
If you would be well served, you
must serve yourself; and more
over,
No man can gather cherries in Kent
at the season of Christmasl"
Great was the peoples amazement
and greater yet their rejoicing.
Thus to behold once more the sun
burnt face of their Captain,
Whom they had mourned as dead;
and they gathered and crowded
about him,
Eager to see him and hear him,
forgetful of bride and of bride
groom,
Questioning. answering laughing, and
each interrupting the other.
Till the good Captain declared, being
quite overpowered and bewildered.
He had rather by far break into an
I Indian encampment,
Than come again to a wedding to
which he had not been invited.
Meanwhile the bridegroom went
forth and stood with the bride at
the doorway,
Breathing the perfumed air of that
warm and beautiful morning.
Touched with autumnal tints. but
lonely and sad in the sunshine.
Lay extended before them the land OF
toll and privation;
There were the graves of the dead
and the barren waste of the sea
shore,
There the familiar fields. the groves
of pine, and the meadows;
But to their eyes TRANSPORTED. IT
