Largest Water Tank.

The water supply system of Calcut-
ia includes the largest water tank in
b world. 1t v an area of two
and one-third acres, and the total
weight when it is full of water is H.
600 tons. There are 80 miles of steel
joists in the vertical columns and
bracings, and in the foundations 20
miles OF steel joists and tie bars.
The capacity Of the tank is $500, 900
gallons of water. The tank acts as a
balancer and to assist the pumps
when they cannot send sufficient wa
ter into the mains to meet the de-
1nand. During the night hours, when.
the pumps provide more water than
is required, the xce quantity goes
into the tank; when the demand is
greater lie wafer from the tank: flows
automatically into the mains.

SAVED EMPIRE By STRATEGY
Military Leaders Of Byxantium Made
Up by Finesse What They Lacked
in Numbers.

After the decline of Rome the cen

transferred tosthe Greek empire. Com
stantinople ruled elements OF q much
less Homogeneous nature than Rome,
in her prime, had depended upon.
There was less loyalty to the central
rule there, and far less liberty un-
der it.
The decisive military fact OF the
east was, however, that Byzantium
had to contend against overwhelming
numerical superiority in its enemies.
South of. it, from the Indies to the
Atlantic, was the Saracen empire,
burning with the zeal OF a new re-
ligion. To the east were the Seljuk
Turks, while to the north were the
Bulgarians, and the Slovenian and
Hunic tribes.
Against such odds it was useless
simply to match man for man. The
military leaders of the empire were
full Of military spirit and took keen
delight in war as a game; but they
were the descendants of Ulysses, and
they made of val a game of finesse.
Of cleverness-in short, a war of wits.
BY their spying and brides. by stir

ambush, they illustrated the saying of
Bacon that stratagem Is a weaker kind
of policy, used by those who are not
strong enough to win by fairer meth

AS the 104th is not to take station

all the companies here will drill with

of having the district improvement

tied an earnest discussion, and on the
suggestion of Mr. Super the commit
tee, with the approval of the clubs,
will. endeavor to have water COM
mission appointed for the expert ham
ding of the problem, which, as read
ers of the Star-Bulletin have been
shown, is of utmost seriousness.
A special committee, consisting of
Attorney C.. w. Ashford, Percy NJ
Pond and Willis T. Pope, was APP
pointed to draft an ordinance for
abating the nuisance of hog ranches
in residence sections.
The executive committee was auth
orized to draw up an amendment to
the constitution to create the class of
honorary members from former dele
gates willing to pay membership dues,
who shall have the privileges of dis
Fcussion but not of voting.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows, the secretary be-
ing reelected: Daniel Logan. presi-
dent; G. w. Ashford, vice-president;
George G.. Guild, secretary; Percy NJ.

committee. The president is from

delegate therefrom having been pre-
scented last night. For the past year
he has been vice-president. having sat
as a delegate from another club that
recently withdrew from the organiza-
tion
A motion to accept the resignation
of the kaimuki club was voted down
in favor of one to give the concilia-
ton committee further time to en-

AID CLUB HEARS
REPORT ON
BILLBOARDS

The end of the agitation against
billboards was probably reached at
noon today, so far as the Ad Club is
concerned at least At its meeting it
listened to the report of the special
committee appointed by President Far
rington, by authority of resolution
in which it was stated that it met a
committee from the Outdoor Circle
Monday, at which time the committee
women denied that they were conduct
ing a boycott against firms which use
billboards for advertising purposes.
"The ladies claimed that they were
in no way conducting boycott" says
Chairman George G. Guild in his re.
port, and then adds: And your com
mittee endeavored to have them con
sent to place themselves on record to
this effect, but without success.
The report was adopted.
That the members of the Ad Club,
or some of them at least, are not
pleased with the discussion oil bill.

fore the organization az its last three
meetings may be taken from the reso-
luton which was passed toward the
end of the meeting, after statement
had been made that the club was vast
ing its time on the present subject.
This resolution reciteS that here
after all subjects to be discussed by
the AID Club are to be confined to adj
vertising and advertisers, with the
idea of treating them in their general,
as distinguished from specific, scope.
The wind-up resolution putting the
club on record as against boycotting
and blacklisting, which was also
adopted today, asks that those who
have been carrying on campaign
against billboards confine themselves
to fair and legitimate means OF ac'
complishing their purpose.
