 Wasted Daily Will Be Saved. e

Improvements made at the Whig vile reservoir are expected to save for the city at least 45O,0 900 gallons of water that heretofore has been wasted each day by leakage through the big dam.

wADING FOOD CLOSED,
Park Commissioners Will Permit No More Water EroIics This
 Summer.

At a meeting of the board of park commissioners yesterday afternoon it was decided to close the wading pool at the summit of Walnut Hill park for the remainder of the year and not to open it again until next spring.
 This action was taken as the result of Investigations, following com plaints, at the Wading pool. Not only was the water found to be in a filthy condition, but it was declared to be positively insanitary by the health de- partment officials iWth such limited equipment as the park commission CTS have it is impossible to properly protect the pool, or to keep up a con- stant circulation of the water. As a re- suit 1t becomes stagnant and polluted. The park commissioners will ask for an increased appropriation next year and if it is granted they will utilize this money to make the needed i'm provements at the pool

All these books are gathered 1 together again. however, replaced in | the cases and delivered to the prop l CT officials in France.

SOMETHING MORE THAN TOY"
Quaint old Legend Having to Do With
Pillow is Peculiarly Appropriate
Just Now.

There is n quaint old legend of Al
SAGE. recalls the Christian Science
Monitor, concerning II family of giants
who, once upon IA time, lived in a GER
tain castle in the old country. The
moral of the story seems appropriate
Mt a time when the French minister
of agriculture is making special eff
fort to encourage the cultivation of
land.
The giants lived, says the legend.
far from the peasants of the plain and
one day the daughter of the house,
who though quite a child, was already
thirty feet high. strolled toward "A
plain and saw Il laborer peacefully
blowing his fields. She picked up the
peasant. the horse and the pillow and
put them in her pinafore and returned
to the castle to show what she had
found to her father.
"What you think is but a toy said
the giant, sis what produces the food
which enables US to live. Put back
the laborer and his horse where you
found them From that time onward,
adds the tale. the peasants We're never
molested by the giants.

BUILT FOR SHALLOW WATER
Peculiar Marine Institution on New
England Coast Was Known in
1912 as the Camel.

In the year 1912 a queer marine in
stitutiOn made its appearance in Nam
tucket and bore the name of camel.
These camels were really huge floating
dry docks for carrying ships over the
bar, where the depth of water had
been gradually decreasing since 1890.
Being fiat-bottomed the camels could
float in water very much shallower
than "a loaded ship required. They
were like two long. large boxes float
Ing sid. by side and held together at
the ends by large iron chains.
The outer sides were almost. straight
up and down, but the inner sides were
curved. making when the two sections
were drawn together, an interior basin
just the shape of the bottom of a
ship.
The plan was for the camels TO be
separated far enough t. allow the
ships to be hauled into the basin be-
tween the two sections, hen to be
drawn and held fastened together by
the chains. holding the ship between
them, 50 that the camels and the ship
could then be towed over the shallow
places in the channel to the wharf.
