MOUSE SPINS THREAD
AND RUNS 362 MILES
Thrifty Scot Finds Rodent Power
Costs Only One-IIaIf Penny's Worth
of Oatmeal for 35 Days.

A thrifty Scotchman. David Hutton.
conceived the idea of using mouse
power commercially. He experiment.
ed and found that a mouse will run
on an average of ten and one-half
miles a day.
One mouse in Mr.. Hutton's collec-
tion actually ran eighteen miles in
one day. The power of n mouse is
not much when compared to horse
power: yet. it is enough to spin cot
ton thread.
The cost of e mouse upkeep is not
very high. One mouse was kept in
fine working condition for thirty-five
days on one-half pennys worth of
oatmeal. During those thirty-five
days that mouse ran SO. miles.
Mr.. Hutton built thread mill for
his mice which was so constructed
that the mouse was able to twist and
reel from 100 to 220 threads day.
The mouse ran ten and a half miles
every other day.
Two mice We're kept constantly en-
gagged in the spinning of thread for
more than a year.

CONSIDER LIGHT
PLANT IMPROVEMENT

Bids for the proposed boilers and
stokers to be installed in the city
light plant were taken under advise
ment at an adjourned meeting OF the
board of works Thursday afternoon,
until sufficient appropriation to COW
er the expense has been made by the
council.
The appropriation probably Will be
brought up at the meeting Of the city
council Monday night.
That the Improvements are doubly ur-
gent now, according to Superintendent
Dillon, was brought out Friday morn
ing by a notice from the government
requiring that hereafter a complete
record be made Of the amount OF cur
rent turned out by the power plant
for the number Of tons of coal con-
sumed each week, instead OF merely
sending a report Of the coal, as had
been done before. This account must
be sent both to the state and federal
authorities.
THAT means" said Mr.. Dillon, that
the government is going to weed out
all the inefficient plants, and unless
a change for the better is made az
the plant, it may mean that the gov
eminent will send representatives to
inspect our plant will see the old
fashioned, inefficient system OF boilers
and stokers, which are now In use, ana
simply will put in all the improve
ments they want to without any rel
erence to councilmen or budgets or
expense"

Small Economies, Big Results.

In England every passenger on the
street cars and omnibuses receives n
small ticket in receipt for his fare.
BY simply reducing the size of the
ticket by half an inch the London
county council reports a saving of 100
tons OF pulp per annum.
A thread manufacturer in Great
Britain reports saving of $50 tons of
pulp per annum by afiixing but one
tiny label on the end of the spool Of
thread in place of one at each end as
formerly the practice.
The question of senSeless waste of
paper in the matter of handblls was
dealt with and it was estimated that
more than 1000 tons of pulp were
absolute waste in this connection since
more than half the handblls were a
mere litter in the streets and on front
porcheS, and never read.
BY making railroad tickets half the
thickness England has saved 400 tons
Of pulp
BY using postcards instead of paper
and envelopes the numerous societies
and organizations in Great Britain
have saved 600 tons of pulp a year.

SHIPS IN CONSTANT PERIL
Sailing Without Lights, NsvIgators
Can Only Rely on ouIekness of Per.
eeptlon and Professional Nerve

Even II the Huns are escaped the
lie OF a merchant ship man In these
days Is far removed from beer and skit'
les An example Of what they have
10 so through Is furnished by the mar
row squeak the Empress Of Britain aud
the CNrdlganshre had one night In the
Aegean sea, Ralph u, Cropley writes
In the Atlantic, Both are big ships,
and they were loaded with troops and
going NJ full specd-ZgZaggng-nOt
a light showing, II was one Of those
nights when you can hardly see your
hand before you. There were no stars,
no phOsphorous-nOthlng- nothing but
10 trust TO luck and the ears Of the
man on the bridge.
The captain Of one OF the ships has
told me that, before he knew IT, there
was n ship, bow on him, dead ahead.
or course the first impulse was TO shift
his helm; hut II he did so, the dan
ger would be Of one ship giving the
other n glanclng blow, Fortunately
the other skipper appreciated this also
Their nerve, In spite OF several years
OF war'zone work, was still equal TO
the OCCASION II all happened In the
twinkllng OF an eye and they passed
snfely though there had been less than
90 feet separating the ships, and their
outswung lIfeboats nearly scraped, The
captain OF the Cardlganshlre, though
he could not see him, heard the cap
tain OF the Empress OF Britain above
the noises OF the sea-heard him yell:
For Gods sake, old man, don't shift
your helm !" so close were they on their
respective bridges high above the sea.
Instances Of this kind, which try
mems souls, nightly occur, and quite
frequently there are collisions and
tragedies in the pitch dark. The only
way that the two ships identified
themselves was ten days later, at Sa.
lonikl, when the captain OF the Cardl.
ganshire heard the skipper OF the
Empress Of Britain asking friend II
he knew what ship he nearly bumped
on certain night, ! am sorry 30 re-
port that the captain OF the Empress
OF Britain lost his life in the Halifax
explosion while doing hospital work.
