REPOSE NOW AT BOTTOM OF MISSOURI 1 ii rl f j lnr Syntoni at Alliiue-I.iiKn .Siikt liratcil by Milii rei'U DiiorUi-fper at WnNlMiiKtoit Who Wna itenily to A1 in I ( All. Nino Innocent looking bluo bottlro stand ing In a row at tho public library bnvo caused consternation among tho young women in charge of tho institution. Tho bottles contained smokcltsM ponder In its various stages of manufacture, from tho crude nltrotilycerln and nlajrbauU up to tho finished product. Tho collection was a part of tho government exhibit at the ex position und was later turned ovor to tho Uyrou Heed museum by tho federal author ities. Tho bottles itocxl Ju lluo uneventfully for over a year nnd had arnarcntly no Inten tion of ndopting any sudden ur violent 1 no of conduct. Finally a visitor, who may hnvo been a practical Joker and was nt all i eventu a convincing and logdnl speaker, pointed out to one of tho young women ihe Imminent danser in which rue stood, lie said that tho powder was liable to explodo at any moment. Thero was enough if it. ho tnld, to blow out thc entire side of tho building. lie directed the. attendant's at tention to tho direct rays of sunlight, in tensified by the converging power of tho overhead skylight, which found tholr way to tho bottles. Tho young woman and her follow at tendants tundo light of the story, but wero I mnrlfffily uneasy. They made- detours I when they were obliged to visit tho neigh i' borhood of tho bottles. Tho attemlunt, ' whetio duty kept her within tho room, rare ' fully drew tho curtain when tho nftornoon j sun threw out Ita genial wurtnth toward 1 tho rinvdor bottles. i At this Juncturo tho city council began tho agitation of tho explosive ordinance. The legislators emphasized tho danger to llfo nnd limb of tho more presence of such I compotindH as, smokeless powder Tho Ilbrurluab consulted a sun utoro and ,ro nrsured that tho powdor In Its finished stnto was harmless, that it would burn llko great.0. Hut there wnB somo of It In an Inunuturo etago nnd tho nlno buttles still bred unease nnd dlsuu.et around tho cor ridirs of tho library. Finally thero wch a conforenco among tho librarian, her assistants und tho Janitor. It was decldal to sacrlllco tho bottles. They were condemned If not as an actual mennco nt least as a disturber nf tho peace. Tho Janitor was Instructed to Ecoretly removo tho bottlcti from their nlcho nnd bury thorn In somo roinoto place. Thnt ofllclnl had Just finished tho task whon it occurred to thu llbrnrlan that somo unsuspecting dig ger at somo futuro tlmo might otrlko tho caeho with tho point of his pick with ills nstious results. Sho found that tho possi bility was disturbing; her peaco of mind and ordered tho Janitor to unenrth tho powder. Another plun was ndopted nnd tho Jan itor was sent to tho river bank to cnl the obnoxious gift of the government into tho Mlroourl. Tho servitor chose a cloudy day and carefully conveyed tho bottlea to tho river bank. Ho had read of chemicals which exploded uyou contact, with water, however, and Judged It wlso to hurl the lot ties from the bridge. They nieukly sank. Tho librarian hopes that tho fed-ral g. -crnmont will not consider tho acti n oh nny reflection upon its motives In mnklng tho bequest. Sho believes tho govcruine.it meant well. Few portons In Omaha know that tho beautiful and effcctlvo Mlnne-Uusa pumping station of tho Omnha Water Works company i Is tho result of an accident which promised 'to provo fatal to tho engineer who d signed tho station nnd Invented tho syatcm of purifying tho water of tho Missouri, which Is tnken from Its muddy bed nnd without j tho fso of chemicals Is served clear and : sparkling to tho patror.H if the company. I In his younger days Captain Frank Reynolds, tho engineer In charge of the , station, was a sailor. Upon ono occasion a vessel upon which ho was sailing was wrecked In tho Antarctic seas nnd all ui board woro forced to find shelter upim a enowenpped Island. The party mcceedod ! In saving n largo part of their provisions, I but their store of drinking water ran low. Tho water which trk'klod down ihf side- 'of tho hills where the snow molted undor jtn rays of the ncoutlm un wa so foul from the prescni e of nnuatlc birds that It could not be im'd To pass tho tlmo tho shipwrecked sn'lois unstrui'ted a system of win els which wero turned by the water In one of the rills. It wno thon noticed that ,ns the water fell over tho different wheels It beenmo clearer und purer. A syj I trait of damn was then constructed In tho stream and all tho offenslvo odors wero 1 gono by tho tlmo it reached tho lower dam and tho men wero supplied with pure and ! wholrsomo water. ! When tho question of nupplylng Omnha , with puro water whs under discussion, Cap tain Hoynold resolved to put Into practice the knowledge ho gained upon tho south ern Island nnd Mlnne-Lusa Is tho result I Tho system linn been pirated by other rltle ' nnd us Mr. Iteynolds has patented hla pro. ,'cess ho sees an unending amount of lltlga i Hon ahead of him. i F.
