Naples Noisy City.
Noise is the dominating feature OF
Neapolitan life. I thought Rome made
tremendous din, but 1t cannot be COM
pared in this respect to Naples. The
cab drivers do not call out warning cries
as do their Roman brethren, but they
crack their whips more furiously. while
the donkey drivers have peculiar Whln-
ing cry Of prolonged "Ah-h-h-I that
resounds in the streets from early morn

quently braying. in rivalry with the con-
stantly sounding motor horns.
AS you travel southwark in Italy the
donkeys seem to grow smaller. without
diminution of the loads they haul. Each
day we see one that appears to be timer
than the smallest previously noticed, and
we have wondered II there Is limit to

strong to carry home two or three as
souvenirs. They are not large eaters
and they have a wide range of taste,
thriving on almost anything that can be
chewed, SO that they are an economical
form of power. I believe a good trade
could be established in Sandman dom
keys in the states.
Though Naples is a center of popular
superstitions of all kinds. I have looked
in vain for the good luck goats horns
hanging under the carts that are uni
versal in Rome. This is a charm against
the "evil eye" Perhaps all drivers wear
the charm in the form of the peculiarly
twisted bit of coral that one sees in all
trinket shop windows.
In one respect the carts here are much
more interesting than those Of Rome.

rise and carry the float with II. as does a
modern hydroplane The float was mere
ly two alright metal cylinders pointed at
each end. These were placed like the
float Of a catamaran and carried a wood
en- support on which the aeroplane rested.
The idea was that the asroplane would
move the metal floats through the water
fast enough to get up flying speed. and
then, leaving its support, would rise into
the air. This scheme was never actually
tried, although 1t is possible that II II

machine on its catapult launch would

When Glenn Curtiss repaired the old
machine he was somewhat at loss as
to how to launch it. The machine had
no wheels or chassis. and Curtiss had no
catapult suitable for launching 1t, and
did not care to try one. Consequently
he built special hydro areoplane float.

The Penus Grove Electric Light. Heat
and Power Co.

respectfully asks the attention OF the
readers OF the RECORD to the following
explanation concerning their monthly
minimum charge Tor Electric Service.
Recent conversation with a number OF
our consumers and others shows that
there are some who lack a clear under
standing of why the monthly minimum
charge is necessary and equitable, also
how its full value may be realized by the
consumer. Please carefully consider the
facts here presented.
In order to stand ready to furnish Pub
lie Electric Service it is necessary to
maintain the central station, transmission
lines, transformers and meters. For this
equipment there are fixed expenses to be
met each month, such as losses in trans
mission of current, depreciation of equip
ment, reading of meters, making out bills
and collecting same.
1t has been computed that these ex-
penses alone, aside from the actual cost
of operating the Central Generating Sta
ton, average more than $1.00 per month
per 1t will therefore be readily
seen that every consumer who does not
use more than $1.OO worth of Electricity
during the month is served with a inan-
| cial loss to the Company. The mini.
mum charge but partially makes up this
loss.
1t is generally conceded that electricity
furnishes the best light and power for all
purposes. 1t is both convenient and eco
nomical.
Even if your use of electricity is very
limited, would it be possible for you to pur-
chase a better equivalent for $1,00 than
is given in a months use OF Electric
Light? The Electric Service Monthly
Minimum Charge amounting to Three and
one third cents per day is considerably
less than we spend for such luxuries as
cigars, candies, sodas and other good
things which cost us one or two nickels
at a time.
Lie mUi6Hly mlHlIIum CudIS6 OOcE
not mean ''pay for it whether you use it
or not" Should a consumer for any
reason wish his service discontinued for
one month or longer, there will be nc
futther charge until the month he re-
suhnes using the service. Many Of our
consumers have found it to their advant-
age to install additional lighting outlets
and fixtures and so use the full dollars
worth 81 current per month. Others
have ordered an Electric Flat Iron and
after 80 day free trial have found it in.
dispensable. Almost any M has use fol
some Of the many small heating or cook.
ing appliances which are convenient, in.

Three men named George started
and gazed at Ward with puzzled smiles.
He said calmly, without indicating
whom he was addressing:
"Why did you leave Bound Brook,
George?"
"If you mean me-" said a tall, thin
la with iron gray hair, Il was never
in Bound Brook in my life, and I never
saw you before either"
Without batting an eyelash and with
the suggestion of a genial smile fitting
across his lips Ward went on:
