.sss FIELD DAT 81
The public water supply Is obtained
from two drilled wells located at the
city pumping station on Litchfleld
avenue. One Of these wells ~ locat.
ed under the street Ii front 81 the
pumping station and the other within
the walls Of the pumping station. "a
stratigraphic section Of the forma11
lions encounte In drilling these
wells shows surface soil, red and blue
clay, boulders, gravel and sand. These
wells are about 275 feet In depth and
are cased with 8 inch iron; pipe atl!
tached- to the pump. Water Is drawn
by means Of q triplex electrica driv,
en- pump and q horizontal steam
pump, each having q capacity of 300
gallons q minute. Water can be
pumped directly into the system 81
the storage reservoir. This reservoir
is an elevated, steel structure having
8 capacity Of ~, 900 gallons No. sex
act information could be obtained re.
garding the extent Of the distribution
system. The city records show s479
connections and As fire hydrants. The
average daily consumption Of water
is about l65,0o0 gallons. It was estii
mated that at least IS per cent 81 the
population used this supply. s.
The sanitary aspect OF this supply
is good. # .s=: 5S.s

Denmark they could not find market

the Danes have their cattle trained.
She did not understand. No matter
how large the herd is, or how large

every day with chain about twenty
feet long. The next day she is. moved
to a fresh spot, and so across the
field, and by the time 1t has been

CRIME AMONG THE ANIMALS
They Initiate All of the Many vari-
cites of Human Wrong
Doings.

1t has recently been asserted by fol-
lowers of Lombroso, the great special
ist of criminals and their particular
brain processes, that every variety of
human wrong doing finds it's counter
part in the crime committed by ami
mails, and birds, and insects
Among bees, for instance. are found
frequept Instances OF deliberate. sthefL
These thieves Of the hive IN order to
save themselves The trouble OF work
ing attack the workers In masses,
kill them. rob the hives. and then
carry off the booty. After they have
done that few times they seem to
have developed a criminal taste and
form into large and formidable bandit
colonies that terrorize all peaceful,
Woodworking and law-abiding mem
bers of the bee family. Curiously
enough, it has been proved that the
bellicose members may be produced
artificially by giving them honey and
brandy to drink After few doses of
the mixture they become irritable, dis
inclined to work, and If the drink is
given to them for any length of time
they refuse absolutely to work and
when they become hungry. turn to
plumber and attack the well supplied
hives
Owners of doves tell stories of how
in every dove cote there are birds
that are too lazy to gather materials
for their own nests, but will try by
every means to steal that which has
been gathered by their more energet-
ic companions.
We have also the word of a distin-
guished veterinary surgeon that in
every regiment of cavalry one can
find horses which rebel against all
discipline and let no opportunity es-
cape for doing harm to their own
kind 1t is necessary, therefore, to
be always on guard and sometimes to
separate them from the others, as
they will steal their companions food
whenever opportunity presents. What
is perhaps the strangest of all il
that the skulls of such criminally In
cllned beasts have an abnormal for
nation, the forehead being narrow and
retreating.

that % out OF every 100 professionals
feel the same way.
Any one can see that this is bad
thing The recent prison reforms have
done a good deal to remedy it, but 1t
can never be made completely right
until things are fixed so that every
prisoner will feel he is getting
square deal. don't mean by this that
he ought to be given feather beds and
porterhouse steak, but do think that
he should be treated little more like
a man. He ought to be paid, for in
stance, at the rate of FIVE or ten cents
day for his labor, so he will have a
little money when he gets out. But
this is long subject and will not
say any more about it Just here. A
good deal has been done, and at any
rate conditions are whole lot better
than they used to be. In proportion,
| think, to their future improvement
the number of professional criminals
will grow less.

PREYED ON THE DEAD
eREWsoME CALLING FOLLOWED
BY @REsuRREcTioNlsTs."
In Great Britain Comparatively Short
Time Ago Surgeons Paid Well for
Bodies Brought Them for
Dissection.

In the days of the Resurrectionists
In Great Britain various means were
devised to prevent the nefarious prac-
tice of body-snatching. Recumbent
stones of huge dimensions were fire.
quently placed over tombs in lonely
churchyards, while burying places
were often made unapproachable by
the erection of massive ratings. The
services of the local blacksmith were
also requisitioned to fasten strong
bars of iron over the collins to pre-
vent the possibility of the body being
uplifted from it's resting place.
In many churchyards watch houses
were erected, at the door of which
after an interment careful watch and
ward was kept, and not few tales
were told of mysterious beings sur
prised in the midst of their gnostly
depredations.
In few places mort safes or dead
houses were constructed in which the
dead bodies were allowed to remain
several weeks or until such length Of
time as they were no longer service
able for dissecting purposes An In
teresting specimen of the above is to
be seen in the quaint churchyard at
the ruined Church of Cowie, mar
Stonehayen. THIS was a fayorite
haunt of the Resurrectionists from Alb
erdeep.
The corpses were conveyed in dog
carts to the Granite City. With
view to escape detection the lifeless
figures were clad once more in the
garb of the living and placed on the
conveyance in a sitting posture.
The story is told, says a writer in
the Glasgow News, how on one occa-
sion party of Resurrectionists
stopped at a wayside inn for refresh
ments, when all partook of the same
at the door of the inn. The innkeep-
er, noticing the silent figure of one
of their number left alone in the con-
veyance, remarked: "Will yer freend
no TAX a dram% Without saying
word the party instantly mounted and
drove off, leaving mine host, who was
not without his suspicious, to draw
his own conclusions as to the calling
of his visitors.

Gay DOGS. These Firemen.

81 was playing in small town one
night" said an actor, when about
two-thirds of the male portion of our
audience-at least six or eight men
made united and hurried exit from
the hall. Fears of panic were al
layed by the knowledge that in case Of
fire the remainder of our audience
could be moved almost literally In
body 1t was fire that caused the
sudden exodus, about block away
from the theater, but that it was not
more attractive than our show was
proved by the quick return of those
men. They were members of the vol
unteer fire brigade, and, having an
swered the call OF duty, sized up the
blazing building, pronounced it too
big for their modest fire engine to
cope with, and hurried back to the
theater to calmly continue to enjoy
the evenings entertainment Fires
in that town, learned, as on our
way home we stopped to watch the
still busy flames, were only extin-
