The men at work exeavating for the
foundation of the piers which are to
support the new double track railroad
bridge for the Maine Central ran up
against problem the other day that
for awhile was the cause of no small
amount of concern. 1t was found that
the water which oozed through the
walls of the caisson from. the river
bed outside was black, and the fear
was that it might contain some acid
which would work damage to the con-
crete piers. Some of the water was
submitted to Prof. H. d. Evans, direc-
tor of the State Laboratory Of
Hygiene for analysis and was found
TO be harmless so far as the presence
of any acid was concerned. When
taken in small quantities the water
was found TO be of blush tint, and
analysis showed it to contain analine
dye and sulphite waste. the former no
doubt coming from the cotton mills
and the latter from the pulp mill, but
there was found to be enough lime in
the gravel of the river bed to neutral
lie the acid in the dye.

Lights a Safeguard.

THE Biddeford Journal publishes a
night view of Congress street, Port
land, as an example of good street
lighting. 1t is the consensus of opin-
ion among those who have Travelled
the length and breadth of the United
States that few cities can boast a
handsomer or more efficient system of
street lighting than ours. A main
thoroughfare Illuminated as is Con-
gress street is not only delight to
the thousands who use it nightly, but
it is conceded to be one of the great
est moral agents possible to devise.
Crime shuns the light as one would
the plague and finds its field in the
dark alleys and poorly lighted side
streets. Since Portlands great white
way was established complaints from
young women and girls over insults
and forced attentions from would be
Washers have been few and far be-
tween. Under the present conditions
the woman who does not invite at
tention may walk Congress street I'M
attended without fear of molestation,
Converting night into day generally is
not regarded as a wise proceeding,
but it certainly is as applied to city's
main streets"
From a small beginning in Con-
gress street the city of Portland has
extended its standard street lighting
until there are nearly 400 ornamental
poles on its main business streets.
Last year the city of Lewiston dupli-
Gated the lights in Portland in Lis
bon and Main streets. The city of Au-
burn followed suit, and very recently
put into commission its new system of
lights. Biddeford and Rockland are
agitating the question, while Bangor
has its new lighting system about
ready, and Waterville is installing
poles and fixtures as rapidly as the
work can be done. This standard
lighting system is general in the West
and South and is fast coming into
general use in the cities of New Eng
land.
Once in operation. these standard
lights in Augusta will be more and
more a source of pride and Joy and
will be looked upon as a real COM
mercial and moral asset. The people
of Augusta are looking forward with
interest to the opening of these lights
on Friday evening.-Adv.
