The readers of The Ileo will remember the
account ot the old well under the sidewalk
In front of the Western house on East Broad
way Into which a woman came near being
precipitated a tow days ago by reason of the
rotting of Iho board walk covering It. At
that time It was stated that another old well
was known to be situated a short dlatanco
further up the street In front of the old
Tanners' house It now develops that there
are quite a number of long disused wells In
various places In the city under the streets
and sidewalks tint have never been filled up.
It Is possible for a bricklayer to arch a well
ov > r with brickwork jo that there would be
'
no djnger of caving in' , provided the well was
walled up with brick from the bottom. A
number are BO provided for , although there
are at least two other wells besides Iho two
mentioned above that are only protected
with flimsy board coverings. 0 v Is on Knat
Hioadway , In fiont ot a vacant lot , altnoot
directly acioss the stiect from the residence ,
of Henry Ic Long , and not morn than two
blocks from the Western house. Years ago
It was partially arched ovci , , ind .1 pump
ret In the aperture. When the pump was
removed , the hole was loft open toteomc
time , nnd then some ono set a plerc of boird
about a foot squaie In the opening. This
pquarc piece of wood In the sidewalk has be
come about covered with accumulated dirt ,
and the existence of the well is hidden to the
unsuspecting wayfarer Another old well
Is situated near the curbstone In ft out of the
btlck livery barn on Scott street A plank
platform was placed over It , but It In not fas
tened down securely , for It has beim seen
lying several feet away finm the well , leav
ing the yawning chasm exposed It Is said
that the old city well , founcily ucd as a
water bupply for the flre department , and
situated In the middle ot Broadway , In front
of the Methodist church , has never been
filled up , but even If this Is true , there would
be little danger , as It was properly walled
up and encased at the top with round Iron
castings.

COUNCIL HLUFTS , Jan. 3 To the Editor
of The Hce : If I were a man I would prob
ably have a charge of disturbing the peace
lodged against me , but I am only a woman
and unable to get Into action the Indigna
tion that has been swelling my heart all
afternoon. Hut I never wanted to be a
man so bid In all my life , a great big man ,
with the strength and skill of Corbett. If
I had boon mi < h a man for a few mlnutea
thla afternoon several gentlemen of Council
Bluffs and Omaha would have had occasion
to recollect this cold and stormy Sabbath
day. I have two children , a gill and boy
The boy Is S and the girl Is C years old
When the snow came today they were wild
with delight. They pleaded to be permitted
to get out their sleds and coast on the
hillsides , and I compromised with them by
consenting to take them out driving In the
cutter. We drove down Broadway and over
the big bridge Into Omaha. Returning
wo watched the snow bcln whirled and
driven by the winds across the river. While
passing the cast end of the bridge we heard
the banging ot gunn. The sound wen borne
down by the north winds and came so
sharply that our horse was frightened , and
If ho had not been u good , honest animal
he would have tan away and perhaps In
jured us. We drove on a little further and
two shots came almost simultaneously. We
all looked In lliat direction and saw two
pigeons In the air. Ono was falling to
the earth straight downward , Its white
feathers mingling with the flying snow
The other came directly toward us , carried
by the wind. It fell with great force In
our laps. Its white plumage was covered
with blood , and Us blood flowed out and
stained the snow' that covered our warm
lap robes Tbo expression of fright and
anguish In the eyes of the poor bird was al
most human.
"O , mamma , mamma. It's some little boy's
pet pigeon , and those men have shot It"
The blue eyes of the boy were filled with
team and the little heirt was swelling with
Indignation. The little girl shrunk closer tome
mo weeping. " 0 , mamma , darling , how can
these men bo so wicked and cruel ? Why
did they kill that innocent little bird ? "
"I know , " said the boy , as ho arose In the
sleigh and throw aside the robes. "It's a
lot of men over there- and they're having a
pigeon shoot. They hire wicked boys to
steal the pigeons and then keep them 'In a
box until they get ready to throw them Into
the air and shoot them. "
While ho was speaking the guns wcio
flred again and wo saw two moro Innocent
birds slaughtered Our horse seemed to bo
sharing our Imllcnatlon and ho quickly took
us away from the vicinity of the slaughter
pen.
pen.Tho
The little boy tenderly held the wounded
bird In his hands while ( ho little girl si
lently stroked Its blood-stained plumage It
nestled down in his mlttencd hands. The
look of fright was gene from Its eyes , but
the expression ot terrible pain was Intcnsl-
flcd When wo examined It at homo we
found that ono little leg had been shot away
and the other was broken at the thigh , and
tliero were other shot wounds In Its body
The children Insisted on calling In our fam
ily physician and he has done what ho could
to save the life of the llttlo bird
1 have learned that these "pigeon shoots"
are held every Sunday afternoon and that
several hundred birds are slaughtered each
tlmo , In violation of the laws of the state-
as well as the laws of God and humanity. I
learn , too , that not moro than 3 per cent
of the llttlo captives get away without being
killed or wounded. The tow meet a merciful
death , but the many escape desperately
wounded to perish In prolonged agony.
Whcro are the officers of the Humane soci
ety and what are the police doing that they
will not stop men who retort to such bloody
cruelties and call It sport ?
As I vvrlto my little girl returns from min
istering to the wounded bird. Her eyes are
swimming In tears ns she asks In a tone that
has almost a menacn In It : "Mamma , can't
men find some other -way to try and be
happy on Sunday without killing llttlo birds
Just for the fun of It ? Won't God punish
these men for murdering the Innocent llttlo
birds ? " A COUNCIL HLUKFS MOTHER.

The movement In favor of the adoption
of the metric system of weights and
measures has progre'srcd so far In England
that the government Is reported to have
drafted a bill to bo submitted to Parlia
ment at the opening of the next session.
In our congress , says the Household , a
bill for the' same purpos-c was favorably
reported to the house of representatives at
the last session , but It did not reach a
vote. Possibly the knowledge of what Is
being done In England may accelerate
action In this country.
Both hero and In England the move
ment will bo discouraged by these who
are averse to changing standards which
have been so long familiar ; but the con
venience of the decimal method of nota
tion , and the fact that the metric system
Is already In use In half of the civilized
world , are strong arguments In favor of
the Innovation.
Another argument , of which a good deal
Is made In the report of the committee of
the house of representatives , Is the con
fusion at present cxlttlnp In the several
states as to the meaning of different
weights and measures. Tor example. If a
man buys a bushel of potatoes In Ohio , ho
receives sixty pounds ; In the state of Wash
ington , ho gets only fifty pounds.
A bushel of salt In Virginia means fifty-
pounds ; In Colorado It Is eighty pounds.
A bushel nf apples In Maine means forty-
four. In Wisconsin fifty-seven pounds. A
curious statute In Vermont directs that In
measuring certain commodities "ono buphcl
and three-quarters of a pock shall bo deemed
a bushel. "
There arc confusing differences also In
the measurement ot liquids A gallon of
milk In Now York contains two hundred
and thirty-one cubic inches ; In Minnesota
two hundred and eighty-two A barrel of
oil or elder means ten gallons more In some
states than In others.
On a single bushel or barrel these dif
ferences are not so Important , especially
when buyer and seller know what Is
meant. Hut In largo transactions the dif
ference amounts to a good deal , and It
would bo much better , on every account ,
that a bushel or barrel or gallon should
mean everywhere the same thing.
There being plainly a need of uniformity ,
and the prospect of achieving It through
the concurrent action of ail the state
legislatures being remote , the metric system
offers a good basjs of adjustment which has
the further advantage of being In accord
with the practice of many other nations.
The bill before congress does not provide
for an abrupt change. If It were to become
law , the metric system would bo adopted
by the national departments July 1 , 1898 ,
and by the nation at largo January 1 , 1901.
HOXIM ; UP A STnAMSinp.
I'urtalile VI-NHI-IN for ITxe In South
American Wnlern.
The task of building a steamship , setting
It up. and then shipping It to South Ameilca
In boxes , such as was performed at Nixon's
shipyard , In Ellzabcthport , was novel In
shipping experiences In this country , relates
the New York Sun. Portable houses have
been common for many years. Portable
steamers have been not 'uncommon In this
country. They have been set up on many
lakes , especially In the west , where there
has been no facility for building such craft.
The two vessels that ply on Devil's lake. In
North Dakota , are Instances of that , for they
were brought from the banks ot the Missis
sippi even in the days when the hostile Sioux
tanged through North Dakota. Such vessels
have usually been stowed away on monster
trucks. They have usually been of wood.
The ono that Mr , Nixon sent to the United
States of Colombia , to ply on tbo Magdalena
river , had to bo put In boxes , big and llttlo.
Altogether there were sometlilnt ; like 200 of
these boxes. They filled three lighters nnd
wcro loaded from the lighters to a tramp
steamship. The name of the portable steamer
WFH the Maria Hanabergh. Of course It was
a small affair , but It was built with as much
care as a larger vessel. It was built on
ways , as It It were to bo launched hero
Every pinto and beam was put In place , all
the woodwork was fitted , tno engine and
every part of the craft was made to fit Just
as if the boat vsas to ply In these water"
The rivets , however , were not put In , The
vessel was painted blue on one side of the
Interior and white on the other sldo of the
Interior. This was to facilitate the erection
of the vessel on the Magdalena river. Every
plate , bolt and frame * was marked to cor-
reepond with the plans , and then the llttlo
craft was taken apart , and th's and that part
packed away In boxes. The hollers , of course ,
needed no boxes , but each piece of the ma
chinery and each part of the hull was stowed
away without difficulty ,
Mr , Nixon will send ono of his assistants
to the destination of the vessel to superin
tend her erection. She will bo put together
on ways and launched precisely as she would
have been launched had ohe remained In th IK
rountry. It Is simply a question of riveting
the hull together , and of fastening the partn
of the cngino together , and then the veissel
will bo complete. It Is Interesting to know
that Mr. Nixon had foreign competition In
securing the contract for the vetoicl , He
underbid three foreign shipyards as to price
and also guaranteed to deliver the vcnsc !
quicker than any iitlier bidder. Ho built the
craft la almost exactly sixty days.

It Is a common but erroneous belief thai
everything , with the possible exception ot
lostagc stamps , Is much cheaper than "be
fore , the panic , " writes a New York cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune. The
truth Is that , although there has been a
prolonged and wearisome decline In the
price of labor , land , grain , bond" , stocks ,
manufactures , and In the general cost of liv
ing , until I * would seem as If the lowest
possible strata had been reached , there are
plenty of things which today cost Just as
much , and In many cases even more , than
ever , fortunately they are nearly all In
directions that affect only the wealthier
classes , and there ought to be solid con
solation to those gentle souls who feel that
each additional dollar squeezed out of a rich
man Is somehow a deserved and meritorious
extortion to knrw that about every luxury-
Is nulto as expensive today as In the post.
Living at a strictly first-class hotel In any-
city Is as costly. If not more so than a few
years ago Four nnd a halt to five dollars a
day and upwards Is the unflinching Individual
rate on the American plan , and that merely
moina a single room for one person , or $9
to $10 a day for two A bath adds from
$1 to $2.50 a day more. IHqh-chua hotels on
the Curopcan plan charge $2 a day for the
meanest of their apartments , without board ,
and the avenge rate Is $4 A suite of good
rooms at the Waldorf costs an average of
$6 for each apartment , and there are several
other houses In New York charging about the
same. Kutopcan hotels In Chicago , Phila
delphia , Iloston and other large cities shade
these figures some , but not materially , and
the trend Is steadily , upward Permanent
guests fare some better , but two people
well quartered for the season at any high-
class hotel , either on the American or
fiuropcan systems , are obliged to pay from
$ GO to $100 a week for a good suite of two
or three rooms with bath.

these places , whereby the observer for years
Ins been able to mtsiuro the rate for every
thing else upon , the menu. Only It baa been
a barometer that has never gone but one
way , and that upwards. Some years ago It
was thought the limit had been reached
when a nicely plucked "broiler" cost $1 at
Delmonlco's and a fewoth6r places At
present $1 GO for a whole chicken and 75
cents for half Is a common price , although
as high as $2 Is charged for the former and
$1 for the latter In eomo'places ' A tender

face receutly that while , nt breakfast that
morning at a hotel on the European plan
ha had read In his paper a paragraph about
potatoes selling somewhere for 8 cents it
peck , ho having Just ordered two baked
tubers for 40 centa.
WINES HOLD TO THE OLD SCHEDULES
Thcro Is ne depreciation whatever In the
price of wines. Champagne has been a
standard for years at $1.75 to $2 for pints
and $3.60 to $4 50 for quarts , according to
the nerve and style of the hotelkceper who
purveys them for his guests. Any good Im
ported claret Is $3 a quart and upward
Ilhlno wires are about the same , with a
stereotyped charge of $ S to | 12 for mythical
Stelnbcrgcr Cabinet and Johannlsborger
Good whisky is $2 and $250 a bottle , ana
brandy $3 to $12.
A nrat-cless seat In any leading theater
Is $1.50 , with from CO cents to $1 added If
there Is a really great attraction , like Henry
Irving , for Instance The regular $160 seat
Is also augmented In value from 20 to 30
per cent If bought at a hotel news stand or
of speculators Private boxes cost from $10
to $25 , according to location theater , and
city. As for operas , nobody over expects to
spend lets than $10 and upward for two
scats In any desirable part of the house.
SOME HIGH PRICES ON CLOTHES.
The best tailors have not come dawn In
their prices Ten dollar : ) for a vest , $18 for
trouecrs , $40 to $45 for a sack coat , $50 to
$60 for a ci-tcvvay. $75 for a Prince Albert
and $90 to $100 for a fine overcoat were
flush time rates and are still obtained , while
the fancy hatter still gats $5 for a derby and
$8 for a silk tile. Cloth , labor , rent and
all other turns have come downi to the owc-ll
tailor , but not his prices to his customero
Excellent ready-made clothing Is obtainable
at a fifth of what the high-grade sartorial
artist charger , but all men are not physically
adaptable to even the flno variety In sizes
of the ready-made dealer , while a good many
are so mentally misshapen that only a $100
dress suit will (11 ( cither their flgurc or their
fancy. Anyway , the swell tailors liavo the
assurance to charge the same old ridiculous
prices , and , as they only need a few auch
customers a year , are enabled to both live
and thrive.
To travel In first-class style costs more
and more each year. There haa been no re
duction In railway passenger rates of any
kind anywhere , v.htlc the advent of limited ,
vcstlbuled and other specially ccstly trains
has largely Increased the cxpcnso of travel
to these whoso needs or whims demand the
best of everything Thirty dollars Is the
least for which one person cau go from Chicago
cage to New York and have all the con
veniences of the best trains. Indeed , the
dining car meals and tips to waiters , porters
ters , etc. , lot alone the "excess baggage"
charge , cost considerably above that figure.
WHAT OCEAN TRA.VUL COSTS.
It Is not now possible to get any decent
sort of accommodations far the six or seven
days of an ocean \oyago for less than $100.
vvhlle the best of cabins , carrying not more
than two or three people,1 'riln ' from $400 to
$800 each. Many a man ilow pays a steam
ship company from $1,000 to" $1,500 for the
voyage to Europe and relu'ril Just for him

Carriage hire the best Is as expensive

wards. One dollar an hcnlr for a cheap

ante-panic prices and are' atlll maintained
Horses arc cheaper , and , bo Is labor * feed
and even good carriageharness ) , ctc. , but
the liveryman's prices aremore Inclined to
c-dgo upwards than to drop.
Good domestic "help" , of every sort Is as
expensive as ever. Cooks , chambermaids ,
butlers , coachmen , parlor and lady's maids ,
and all other competent assistance seem
rcronely outside the laws of trade and labor
depression. Their wages are certainly no
lower , and In most caeca higher , than a few-
years ago.
INSURANCE RATES DO NOT VARY.
Life and fire Insurance knows no practical
change. The former , of course , cannot
vary , as a man's chance * for dying In hard
tlmeo are no less than In scanoim of pros
perlty. It might have been supposed , how
ever , that perfection In building and I in
proved private and municipal Ideas for pre
venting and extinguishing conflagrations
would have cut down fire Insurance rates ,
but they haven't.
The woman of means Is compelled to pay

milliner who serves wealth , ctutomein
only there seems to be no limit up to $10
for a single hat which she limy not obtain ;
SIS to $25 Is her average exaction All lint-
furs are exceedingly expensive , nnd with
the possible exception of seal and Hu lmi
sible , are charged for wholly accoidlng to
their vogue. The fur sneered at ns "com

thing fit for a woman to wear the next , nnd
boss at $20. small shoulder capra at $ CO
larger ones at $100 , and circulars and
sacques any where up to $1,000 are some of
the things the patient rich woman Is obliged
lo wear and pay for.
The foregoing arc really but a few- ex
amples of the * fact tint "every thing good"
costs as much AS It ever did Any man or
woman of means will bear witness to the
unhappy truth that no matter how much
depreciation there may have been In prices
generally , every blessed thing that he or
she "must have" maintains an altitude of
expense which It never leaves , unless pos
sibly to soar to n still higher perch.

The new methods of producing Illustrations
by various photographic "processes , " saya
the Baltimore Pun , are excellent In many re
spects and are preferable perhaps to all the
old methods when cheapness rather than
quality Is Insisted Upon. Very fine effects arc
secuicd , In fact , by "process work " To the
great majority of people the pictures In the
better class of magazines are perfectly satis
factory , being vastly superior to the cheap
wood cuts which they displace. Hut "as a ,
flno art" wood engraving , according to Mr. | |
W 1) . Gaidrcr as quoted by the Popular
Science Monthly atlll holds the field and
has an aipurcd future It Is , he holds ,
"far and away" superior to any process "In
Its marvelous versatility of technique which
enables the engraver to translate noi only
the value , but the very Individual touch of
each aitlat from whoso picture he may be
engraving All processed dependant upon
photoginphy arc bound to go wrong 1m the I |
rendering of "values , " since photography-
has not yet been bi ought to such n state of
perfection as to master the dlfllcultlcs of
exact color translation In fact , photogra
phy la utterly Inadequate to the mcst simple
wash drawings In black and white" Wood
engraving In a n.cchanlcal way has had Its
day. but as .1 reproductive fine art It la held
to bo unapproachable "It has not been
touched , " says Mr. Gardner , with enthusi
asm , "and never will bo touched by any
process yet Invented "
The shortcomings of the photograph arc
conceded and the "process cngrav ing" must
necessarily share Its defects There Is much
difference , of course , between a good photo
graph and a bid one almost as much as
between a good wood cut and a bad one.
Hut of the best photographic portrait , ono
often hears the remark made "A fine pic
ture , but not a bit like him' " A dozen
different photographs of the same person
may present a half doen different , faces ,
each very unlike the other. Where colors
are to be reproduced the results are still
more false , owing to the fact that the sev
eral colors act upon the sensitive Him with
widely different degrees ot Intensity More
over , the perspective sometimes goes wrong ,
with the result that neither In values nor ,
lines Is the photograph to be trusted An I
artist's hand may correct some of Its defi
ciencies , but to the educated eye many btlll
remain.
"Nothing , " says Mr Gardner , "docs or
ever can compare with the work done
thiough the sensitive medium of the cyo
and hand of man In fact , I consider wood I
engraving far better than any or all the re |
productive arts , as It stands quite alone In
Its v.ondcrful adaptability , for any variety
of texture ono likes can be produced on the
boxwood block. This can not be said for
cither etching , mezzotint , steel or copper ,
great as the masters have been who have
worked upon one or the other of these ma
terials. " Each ot these materials has Its
merits , but wood Is best. "The crowning
advantage , " rays the writer , "Is that the
engraver Is enabled to work In both black
and will to lino. Nothing Is out of the range
of Imitation. " The skillful artist can render
differences In texture. Flesh , silk , satin ,
wood , steel , glasa , marble , furs , atmos
pheric effects and foliage of nil kinds all
these the wood engraver can faithfully rep
resent. What Is of like Importance , he can
render the difference between oil and water
colors. New- and cheap processes have not
therefore , displaced the artistic engraver ,
though It may have taken work from the
less skillful. This Is what might have been
expected In view of the failure of photog
raphy to oust the better class of portrait
painters No mechanical process can equal
the working of the human hand guided by
genius. Till the camera can feel and think.
as well as sec. It must remain Inferior to
man In the production of first-class works
of art.

ST. PAUL , Minn , Jan. 3 The biennial re
port of State Auditor Robert C. Dunn to the
Minnesota teglshtmc was given to the priss
tonight , and contains some startling flguix's
and recommendations , drawn from a rigid
Interpretation of the law and a careful ex
amination of the records ot his olllce , which
Includes the land dcpirtmcnt.
The general land department business
shows that grants of land to rallroid com
panies by congress and by the state , within
the limits ot the state of Minnesota , to aid
In the construction nf the 3 200 miles of line ,
have amounted to over 20,000,000 acies The
total area of the state Is about 40000,000
acres A reasonable vnluitlon of these rail-
reid lands U $101.000.000. or about $12.000
per mile. Of these lands the eompinles have
already received over 10,000,000 acres , and
under the swamp land act from the state
they have received over 2,000,000 additionJl
He caIN particular attention to the giant
originally made to the LittleFa I to railway
and now owned by the Northetn Pacific con
sisting ot 300000 acres It was given to old
In the construction of that railroad , from
Its eastern terminus to the western boundary
of the stale Tor uncompleted poitlnra of
the line the land should revert to the state
The line was only built to Mori Is. altogether
eighty seven and a half inHe.i , and the
auditor holds that the giant docd not attach
to the twenty-two and a half miles from
there to the t'tate line , making a difference
of 130.000 ncrea In the grant An the com
pany has already received 710,000 acres ,
whlth h In c\ccca of whit thev earned , the
legislature Is iskcd to take proper action to
tccover th fie lands , which are valued at not
! e u than $5 per acre.
The audltoi & conclusions and recommenda
tions regarding mineral lamia , however , arc
most startling Ho iceommcmla that the
leglalatuio direct that action bo begun In
the courts looking to the records of lam's al
ready conveyed to the Uiituth S. Iron Range
rallioad , amounting to 200,000 acres , and that
the remaining portion. 403 OCO ncres , be de-
clai'ed forfeited These lands , conservatively-
valued , are woith $3,000000 , being located
exclusively In St LonU , Lake and Cook
counties , which comprise the mineral and
timber portions of the state He then calln
attention to the constitutional provUlon that
all state lands must be sold at public auc
tion An the timber has been cleared off , It
has been similarly dlapcscd of , and the
auditor now raises the question whether the
mineral Is not also a part of the realty and
should , therefore , be d'arcred ? of in like
manner. The Rockefellers and the Minnesota
seta lion company hold 90 per cent of the
mining contract. ? on state lands , nnd these
were all recured at pilvato sale , o that
It Ii'rt contention bo approved , there would
be a gcncml shaking up in mineral con
tracts
The land where the rich mountain Iron
Is located was selected In 1SS3 by the then
state auditor for Indemnity school land In
1SSS the same official , apparently through an
error or overnight , executed a rellnqulnh-
mcnt back to the government This land U
valued at not less than $12,000.000 The
state auditor takes the ground that possibly
the state still holds title to these lands under
the original selection , and that the rclln-
qutahmcnt was null and void , becaiae the
auditor hud no power to execute such rclln-
qulshmcnt , that power remaining with the
governor.

The main sevvors of Paris are periodically
cleared by means of scrapers carried on
boats or cart' , writes a Paris correspondent.
These conveyances are also used for convey
ing visitors through the largo sewers under
the Hue do Rlvoli and the Boulevards
Scbastopol and Do Moleshcrbcs. These ex
peditions take place fourteen times a year ,
In spring and autumn , nnd about 8,400
visitors are admitted yearly. Until 1891
these cars and boats wcro drawn by men ,
but the labor and cxpcnso were found to be
so excessive that now the traction Is done
entirely by electric motors , taking current
from accumulator batteries on the boats
or cars. The "Genie Civil , " which de
scribes and Illustrates the plant , cayi those
main sewers are In section very similar to
an ordinary tunnel , but In the floor Is
formed the rectangular channel for the
sewage , whllo round the roof arc fixed the
water and compressed air mains , the tele
graph and telephone wires , ctc.
Ihc sewer under the Boulevard den Malc-
sherhes Is the largest. It Is 18 feet -I'l-
l-ichcs wide , 10 feet high from floor to roof
and the sewage channel In the floor Is 3
feet nu Inches deep and 9 feet 10 Inches
wide Ltoat.s are used In this channel. The
other sewers are smaller , the channels In
them being only 3 feet 11 Inches wide , and
from .1 feet 11 Inches to C feet 7 inches deep
In these cars arc run , tbo flanged wheels
of the cars running on the edges of the1
channel , which are protected by angle-bars ,
and form the rails. The approximate weight
of a train of flvb cars with 100 passcngorn
on board Is about 7 tons twelve hundred
weight , and this travels at the rate of three
and three fourths miles per hour The
accumulator battery consists of twenty-
eight elements and weighs fourteen hundred
weight , and Its capacity la 100 ampere-hours
with a moan discharge of twenty-live am
pcres ut fifty or sixty volts The motor ,
which Is Herles-uonnd , develops two horse
power and runs at 1,000 revolutions per
minute , this speed being reduced to eighty
by means of a pinion and wheel and chain
gearing to the driving axle the wheels
being 15)4 inches In diameter on the tread
The boats are towed by means of a chain
sunk In the sewage channel , which Is
brought to the surface and passes around
a pulley driven by means of a double re
duction gear from the motor. The chain ,
by means of guide pulleys , makes three-
quarters of a turn around the driving pul
ley , this pulley being a magnetic one , mag
netized by means of two cells , ono on each
side of It , on the axlo.
Each passenger train consists of six boats ,
In the first of which Is carried the accumulator
later battery and a toning apparatus , while
In the last boat , which Is smaller , there Is
another towing apparatus. The battery
consists of sixty elements , giving an out
put of sixty amperes for two and one-half
hours , at from ninety-eight to 125 volte ;
It Is divided Into two parts , which can be
connected In series or parallel , as required
The motors run at GSO revolutions per
minute , but this npccd Is reduced by means
ot the gearing , so that ( ho boats travel nt
about ono and one-half miles per hour. The
power required for this Is from about two
horse-power to flvo and one-half horee-
poucr , according ax the boats arc traveling
with or against the current. The total
length of the hewers open In this way to the
public Is about two miles , and they ore
lighted partly by lamps on the footpaths or
by oil lamps on the boats.
