Effective regulation involves also the
best possible expert service and
equipment. In testing the quality as
well as quantity of light, heat, power,
water, telephone, telegraph, and trans

valuations of such properties, in
checking, examining, and auditing
books, accounts and securities, and in
collating, classifying and anaIyzing all
facts in connection Herewith, the en-
ployment of skilled experts and valu-
able equipment is absolutely essential
and the average municipality cannot
afford the expense connected there
with With such expert service and

authority vested in the state, all mu-

FLUNG AWAY BIG CHANGES.
Napoleon's Mistakes In Not Listening
 to Robert Fulton.

The fate of the world might have been altogether different had Ma poloon Bonaparte listened to Rob ert Fulton in the early part of the last century. Napoleon understood that Great Britain was his most formidable foe and that so long as she ruled the seas his power was in danger.
 But, wise though he was and revo- lutionary his ideas. he could not see the practical value of Fulton's inventions. Fulton had been earn ing what he could by painting and exhibiting panoramas so that he might carry out some of his great ideas. Finally he succeeded in get ting enough money together to build the first submarine vessel the world had ever seen. and he re mained under water in 1t for six hours. A commission watched the experiment. but feared for the lives of the operators who might go down in d vessel of this kind and rejected the Nautilus. not knowing that they were throwing away Ma poleon's greatest opportunity to overcome the British fleet. The drawing of this vessel has been dis covered in the French archives. and as we look at it we wonder how Fulton managed it. especially before the days of electricity and the stor- age of compressed air.
 But Napoleon was to be given one more opportunity to save him self. Fulton was not discouraged, but was ready two years later with plans for the steam propelIing of vessels. bv which the French em- peror might have crossed the chan nel in a few hours and fallen upon the British as he pleased. Here again the commission rejected the device. and the discouraged Amer ican had 10 return to the United States. where he finally succeeded in proving what every one deemed impossible-that a vessel could he propelled by steam. The design of the steam vessel offered to the French has been preserved in Paris, and bv examining it one may see how perfect the design was and what Napoleon missed.-New York World.

Gladstone and Wet Soonces.

It was not without just cause that Mr. Giadstone's name was given to the handy Gladstone bag" The grand old man was master of every detail of the art of packing. At a country house they were discussing st breakfast the right way to pack a sponge bag when the sponge had been used and was consequently wa terlogged. NIT. Gladstone, who ap- parently had been wholly absorbed in his mornings correspondence, suddenly closed the discussion by informing the party that they were all wrong. ''The only proper meth od," said he, 'is to wrap it in your bath towel and stamp upon it. Then put it in your sponge bag. You will find 1t perfectly dry."
