Some Of the betterments giving
greater efficiency in the different de-
partments, are.
In October. 1913. We succeeded in
establishing a Weir measure at the
pumping station thus enabling US, for
the first time in the history OF the
plant to measure accurately the water
pumped each day. BY this we were
enabled for the first time to calculate
and find out The difference in amount
OF water pumped and the water sold.
The month OF October. 1913. showed
that We only sold half Of the water
pumped in other words We lost so
percent Of all water pumped.
IN December, 1913, we put in service
a testing crew who surveyed the en-
tire city, looking for leaks and vast
age, and as a result Of this inspection
the month OF July. 1914. showed a loss
OF Is percent which is less than the
average city in the United States We
are striving to bring the loss even
lower and hope TO make as low as %
percent. which is as low a s any water
works has attained in this country.

dertaken TO revive in modern
Paris the hanging gardens Of an
The result Of their work is seen IN
the photograph and diagram on this
page, representing the interior plan
and external appearance OF a mouse
which they have erected IN the Rue
Vavin, near the Boulevard Raspail
They call il a house "a grandins,' 4
e.. with steps or lodges But the more
popular name is the house with the
hanging gardens"
The architects point out that this Is
q true revival OF the Babylonian style
Of construction, since the celebrated
Hanging Gardens OF Semiramis" were
simply the stepped up front OF a great
palace. forming a series Of retreat
ing balconies which, instead Of being
used as simple piaZZas. were treated
as gardens full Of flowers and shrub
berry.
Above the ground floor there are six
stages. each forming complete set
Of apartments. and each frOnted with
a terrace between seven and eight
feet broad. whose outer edge has q
border, more than two and half feet
wide, filled with pots and boxes in
faience, capable OF containing a great
variety Of flowers and ornamental
plants Thus the inhabitants Of each
apartment, at any elevation enjoy the
effect of living on the ground floor
with windows and doors opening d.
rectly into a garden
It is apparent that the depth Of the
apartments diminishes in proportion TO
their elevation above the ground. but
by carrying the base Of the building
sufficiently far back. the architects
say any serious objection of this kind
can be avoided especially in view Of
the great gain in attractiveness that
the hanging gardens afford equally on
svery stage.
It is claimed for this style OF apart
ment that not only does il afford bet
ter supplies Of light and air to the
tenants than ordinary perpendicular
buildings can do, but that it is also
an advantage to the street, which is
better lighted and aerated than when
shut IN between vertical walls In
case OF fire, too, the construction af-
fords greater safety for the inmates
and increased facility for the rescue
OF persons imperiled on upper floors
The commercial success of the initial
'Babylonian house" in Paris is estab-
lished. for its apartments are fully
occupied and would be tenants are met
BY the reply no room left" But the
mere novelty Of the plan might ac-
count for that and il is hardly likely
that SO great an innovation viii spread
with rapidly Still it is surely a
step in the movement which has now
become worldwide for the improve
meut Of the conditions OF home life.
and the wide adoption of this form Of
house in residence quarters would
transform many an ugly street into q
scene Of strange beauty

embrace her one day and she became
frightened and left, after which time
she discovered she was not a nun of

The methods of this charity or
