Expensive Error.

Errors are the bug-bear Of the
printer, and despite every precaution
they creep into the most high-grade
work.
An error that cost two million dol
lars occurred few years ago in the
government printing plant at Wash
ington.
It was all due to a misplaced
comma.
The copy of a particular tariff bill
provided that foreign fruit plants,
etc." were to be admitted free Of duty,
the idea being to encourage the cul-
ture of high-grade varieties of fruit
trees and grapevines in this country
When the bill was printed, foreign
fruit plants, etc." read foreign fruit,
plants, etc." and as a result oranges,
grapes, lemons bananas, etc., came
into the United States free of duty for
a year.
The error cost the government just
about two million dollars in revenue.

Fever Colds and LaGrippe.

In the Skuking and other fragments

drawn Of the happiness and virtue Of

The Egyptians began their history

Measuring sIudus.

An ingenious method Of meamrins
the depth Of sludge in deep sedimen-
tation tanks Is employed at the sew
age disposal works Of Fitchours'
Mass, says a Canadian writer. The
measurements are made by means OF
a pitcher pump and % feet Of 1-inch
rubber hose, marked in 1-foot lengths
The pump is screwed to q S-foot plank
and attached to the hose BY a union
eoupling. In making measurements
the plank is placed across the top OF
a gas vent and the hose pushed INTO
the tank until It Ii near the supposed
sludee level. The hose is then low
cred an inch at time. Between each
shift sunicient pumping is done to
insure a complete change OF water In
hose. When the sludge level is reach
ed. the pump will raise sludse. The
length of the hose below the chimney
ton is then noted, and as the distance
from top of chimney to bottom OF
tank is known It Is an easy matter to
estimate the depth Of the siudge.

gress leaders regard the bonus legis-
lation as an extraordinary expense,
chargable to the war and not to be
charged in with current expenses
even though the cost or a large por-
ton of it may have to be met during
the next fiscal year.
It is too early to extend congratu-
lations to Congress upon carrying out
it's economical policy, for there is yet
time in which to spoil very prom
ising record. After adjournment and
when an accurate statement Of the fis-
cal legislation is compiled there will
be ample opportunity to give credit
to the members of Congress if they
prove deserving Of it.
There is no doubt that very strong
sentiment exists among the people in
favor of business prudence in voting
appropriations for government expen-
ditures. Disbursement of enormous
sums during the war has had the eff
feet of making million dollars look
like a $500 bill to some responsible
government officials who have been in
