Measuring Sludqe.

An Ingenious method of measuring
the depth of sludge in deep sedlmen-
tation tanks is employed at the sew
age disposal works of Fitchburg,
Mass, says a Canadian writer. The
measurements are made by means of
pitcher pump and % feet of 1-inch
rubber hose, marked in 1-foot lengths.
The pump is screwed to 3-foOt plank
and attached to the hose by union
coupling. In making measurements
the plank is placed across the top of
gas vent and the hose pushed into
the tank until 1t is near the supposed
sludge level. The hose Is then low
cred an inch at time. Between each
shift sufficient pumping Is done to
insure n complete change of water In
hose. When the sludge level Is reach
ed the pump Will raise sludge. The
length of the hose below the chimney
top is then noted, and rs the distance
from top of chimney to bottom Of
tank is known It Is an easy matter to
estimate the depth of the sludge.

Ing on the death OF a colleague. Elec-
irocution has taken place with cur
rent Of only 10 volts under such cir

The reason is that the water on the

Mexicans Wary Of Snow.

It is possible on almost any day
in the year to see Snowbanks from
Mexico City. We, few of the natives
there had ever touched snow until one
day last winter, when there was quite
n perceptible fall. the first In many
years In the Valley of Mexico.
The mountain peaks of Popocatepetl
and Iztacclhuatl. clearly visible from
the capital, are always snowclad, but
they are some sixty miles away.
Bnrefooted or lightly shod natives
stepped gingerly into the strange ele-
ment, and nfterward spent most of the
day huddled in their homes or in shell
tering hooks and corners. The snow
furry was due to sudden drop In
temperature during n light rain.

Petitions Against
Bond Issue In Jackson

Petitions asking for referendum
vote on the $5,OO0,OOO bond issue for
the higher educational institutions Of
the State are being circulated in the
city of Jackson.
The Jackson News carries the fol-
lowing item relative to the petitions:
The petition was being carried
around by Mr.. Steve Lee, and up to
the noon hour had received very few
signatures. Sentiment in Jackson is
overwhelmingly in favor of the bond
issue and, if the matter was left to
a vote here, it would be endorsed by
a majority of fully rs to l.
The referendum movement seems
to be gaining very little Roadway in
any part of the state. Petitions now
on file in the office of the secretary
of state bear less than 500 names,
and total of 5000 is required.

GREENVILLE MAY NJ
LOSE CAR LINE
Company Threatens To Discontinu,
Scrvice--Will Go To
Courts.

1t looks like Greenvile is destined
to suffer the same fate that Colum.
bus has suffered, the losing Of her
street car service.
The Delta Light and Traction Com
pany, the same company that con-
trolls and owns the Columbus Rail-
way Light and Power Company in
this city, has presented to the city
council of Greenville the matter of
throwing up the car line franchise in
that city and abandoning the service
entirely.
The light company there, however,
went Greenville one better than it did
! Columbus. They offer to put in a
electric bus line as an experiment for
a few years,
Citizens of Grecnville met with the
city council Saturday and protested
vigorously against the discontinuance
of the street car service and warned
the light company that if they at
tempted to carry out their plans that
the courts would be resorted to to
stop them.
Following is an excerpt from the
Greenyille Daily Democrats report of
the citizens meeting.
1.-THE citizens had before expressed
in meetings their opposition to the
discontinuance of the car service and
hence objection to the substitution Of
a bus line which at best is but an OK
pertinent.
"Mr, W. A. Percy presented the
proposition for the Delta Light &
Traction Co., and did it fairly and
clearly. A number of talks were
made from the citizens viewpoint,
and then at the suggestion of the
Mayor, Hon. n Goldstoin and others,
}. Nj. Robertshaw asked for vote on
the question and it was almost unani-
nous in favor of continuing the
street car service, and the sentiment
of the citizens 49, conservative, tax
paying citizens-was forcibzly en-
phasized for an active, determined
fight in the courts, if necessary to
test the city's rights in the matter.
"ln other words, without prejudice
or passion, the people of Greenville--
the great majority who have made
our city what it is--strong, able and
farminded men, want the street car
service continued, and if the Delta
Light a. Traction Co. insist on making
the test in the courts the citizens
want the legal fight made with vigor"

TO ELECT A. AND M.
PRESIDENT IN JULY

The following news item relative
to the postponement of the election
of president for the A. and M. Col
lege until July is clipped from the
Jackson Daily News:
According to Governor Russell, the
general board Of trustees of Missis-
sippi's educational institutions will
not meet to elect new president of
the A. and M. College until about the
middle of July.
Governor Russell declares that he
has no idea when the trustees will
decide upon to fill the presidency of
Agricultural College, yet there are
those who seem willing to wager
something worth while, that there is
some nice little politics being played,
and furthermore, that the governor
will manipulate the pieces, either in
directly or actually.
The governor also declared that he
knows of only four men who are un-
der the lens according to his fellow
trustees; DR.. Il. NJ, Walker, vice pres
ident; DR., David C. Hill of Cleveland;
Hugh Critz, formerly of the college,
and O. A. Shaw of Winona. The gov
ernor very modestly disclaims any in
side position of vantage in the mat
ter, but declares that he is leaving it
to the trustees to decide amongst
themselves.
