LARGEST Water Tank,

The water supply system Of Calcut-
ia includes the largest water tank in
the world. 1t covers an area of two
and one-third acres, and the total
weight when it is full of water is 72,.
900 tons. There are 80 miles of steel
joists in the vertical columns and
bracings, and in the foundations 20
miles of steel ioists and tie bars.
The capacity of the tank is 100000
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-
mand During the night hours, when
the pumps provide more water than
is required, the excess quantity goes
into the tank; when the demand Is
greater the water from the tank flows
automatically into the mains.

FOUGHT FIERCELY OVER PUP
Two Small Boys and Street Cur Fur
nlshed Amusement for Brokers
on Wall Street.

Two dirty, ragged little boys and a
dirty, ragged white pup created a lot
OF fan in Wall street the other day.
Just where they came from and how
such an odd trio ever found it's way
to the heart of the New York financial
district were mysteries which none
cared about solving in the joy of
watching their antics. The pup. 1t
seems, was the bone of contention
between the youngsters. each having
perfectly good claim to It, which he
asserted with might and main. The
eyed little dog, with the kids in
pursuit, came running toward Wall
street from the direction of the curb
market. A passing truck blocked the
pups progress, and both children fell
upon 1t. Each sought to bear it away

ed that each would have to satisfy
himself with an end OF the dog Eqaul
ly matched in strength, the young
sters made no Roadway, so with one
accord they let go of the dog and
sought to rend each other. The pup
took advantage of the fight to lope to-
ward Broadway, and it was halfway
there before the boys discovered its
absence. Abandoning their difficulties
they set out in pursuit. A large
crowd followed, and when the dog was
overhauled the same performance was
gone through again. After this had
been repeated half dozen times. ard
the whole Wall street district had
been covered, an officer of an animal
society appeared and took the cur.
The dog and the crowd thus won-but
the kids lost.

Secretary Bryan is to attempt to
put into force his long cherished
ideas of international peace and dis
armament. That is the burden of
Washington dispatches.
1t is understood at the national
capital that the secretary of state will
undertake To negotiate treaties with
the great powers that will provide for
the arbitration of all matters that
may come into dispute. Those treat
les are expected to follow, largely, the
lines of the general arbitration treat.
les so roughly treated by the United
States senate. They will provide for
the calm consideration of disputable
questions and a period of cooling off
between the flush of national anger
and the stroke of war. That cooling
off period is enough TO prevent almost
any war-such period would have
prevented more than half the wars of
the past.
But the secretary goes step far
ther. He would place limit of some
kind on ornaments. ornaments are
not only menace in a warlike sense
as Europe is proving they are
a terrific burden to the taxpayers.
They are breaking more than one big
nation today and will mean national
BAN ruptcy if some way is not found
to sop them. He proposes to find
that way. If by treaty stop could
be made and, while the balance is not
disturbed, the mad, back breaking,
nerve wearing race be checked, it
would be master stroke.
All that Mr.. Bryan appreciates.
He has long stood for a letting down
of those senseless, useless, danger
breeding burdens. He knows that a
nation such as this has no business
in the game of naval racing with the
jealous and ambitious powers of
Europe. His chief, the president,
believes with him on those lines. A
very large proportion of the American
people are also with him. May this

The Sea and a Drop Of wa,sr.

A German professor named Meinar-
dus has amused a,mself with calculat-
ing how long a drop of water stays
in the ocean before it is evaporated,
and how soon it returns 70 the sea.
Calculating-he does not say how
the total evaporation from the surface
OF tha ocean and estimating the total
volume of water in the ocean, drop
of water entering the ocean will stay
there 3,460 years, provided it awaits
its turn to be evaporated. However,
the professor admits that the surface
water stands good chance of getting
ahead of it's turn. The average stay
out of the ocean is only twelve days
before it has fallen in rain and run
back again to the sea.

LIsz7- SMOKED CIGAR DAILY
But Great Musician insisted or Hav,

Liszt was in the habit of smoking
one cigar a day. But that one cigar
was All exceedingly choice one. When
&c was starting on a journey he told
his valet how many days he would be
away and his valet put into the valise
a corresponding number Of those Vir-
ginia cigars.
Once when List was going to Italy
the chief customs officer at the from
tier post of Chiasso asked him if he
had anything to declare. The musi-
clan, with his thoughts conferred ON
his music rather than his cigars, made
signs to the effect that he had moth.

without the traveller agitating himself
over the search. Presently a number
Of Virginia cigars were brought to
light The whole lot was confiscated
and he was ordered to pay a fine OF
500.
When List reached Milan he told
his agent of his unpleasant adventure.
Ritcordi laughed at the whole affair,
and recovered the cigars and the fine.
On returning to the artist he offered
him with 2 smile one of his own pre-
cious Virginias.
No, my dear friend" said List,
Il have taken a VOW never to smoke
again SO as not to expose myself a
second time to sSeh humiliation"
Rico-d: says he kept his vow. 9th

the virtuoso in 1870.

cigar" said Roger, "and while l took
my ease he walked up and down,
sending out clouds of smoke in the
direction of certain terra Gotta fig.

THE Milwaukee Journal continues
TO berate the democratic editors who
met recently in Milwaukee to form a
democratic press association. Prob
ably the Journal feels sore because it
was crowded out, but a republican
paper shouldn't be so touchy. The
Journal was always an anti-Bryanist;
it never lost an opportunity to let its
readers know that it was against that
great progressive. 1t assumed an
about face when it commenced to de-
fend the isms of La Toilette, and it
jumped on to the loaded wagon and
claims to be the only original blown
in the bottle democratic organ in
Wisconsin. Its efforts will not
amount to much in its attempt to
create discord in the ranks of de-
mocracy in Wisconsin.

The slender wit of the editorial
writer of the Record-Herald has fid-
died down to the point where it ap-
prOpriates a column and more from
William Randolph Hearst's vaporings.
When it becomes necessary to borrow
from a sneak thief and forger TO be-
little political opponent the shedding
is getting pretty difficult. Political
discussion might be conducted on a
higher plane. President Nicholas
Murray Buffers recent address is a
better model President Wilson
reading the London Times affords no
ground for criticism. 1t is not un-
patriotic for him to read the greatest
foreign journals. A well informed
president is not a menace to our
liberty. The president has not trans
crossed the proprieties.

THE PILOT previous TO the, nomi-
nation of President Wilson, was in
favor of another candidate, but said,
emphatically, that it would support
any of the candidates nominated, and
that all named were excellent men.
We will give any one new hat that
will show that after his nomination
it did not support Woodrow Wilson.
We think this is true of all the demo-
cratic papers in the state. The PILOT
does think the attempt now made by
the Milwaukee Journal, which never
was nor never will be true supporter
of democracy, to divide the party in the
state is reprehensible, and it has about
as much chance to accomplish this as
bum has in getting into respectable
society. The editor of this paper is
not after any thing in the gift of the
party, so the distributor of federal
patronage for this vicinity need not
trouble himself upon this score.
