If you only read books about things
you already know, only talk about
the things you have talked about be

most thought you sounded long ago,
your mind becomes caked, incapable
of action, quite useless compared to
yvhat a human mind should be.

i XENIA’S LOSS $30,000.
Depressing Experience of an Ohio City
With Municipal Lighting.
In response to an Inquiry in regard
to the municipal electric light plant
Mayor Brennan of Xenia, 0., writes as
follows:
“The city paid upward of $21,000
for a light plant, and the cost of run
plug the same was at the rute of $lO3
per lamp. The plant was badly run,
the operating of the same Iw ing in tho
bauds of a conkAttee of couucllmcu
who were Inexperienced and. of course,
drawing no salaries, dkl not give It the
proper attention. All they got out of
the sale of the works was $2,500. Tho
City afterward altered into a eoutruct
(with n private corporation, and the
prloo now paid per liunp Is $03.”
A not tew withorky stall's that the
amount ultimately invested In tho
plant was $35,000 and that the loss
(When It was sold, together with the ex
cess cost of operation over what tho
lighting would huvo cost by contract,
amounted to more tbn $90,000; In
Other words, that that sum represents
the cost of the experiment.

Water Resources of Geor
gia.
The water powers of the Southern
States are rapidly coming to rival
those of New England, and their de
▼elopement is due in no small degree
to the work of the U. S. Geological
Survey, which bas for a number of
yetra been making systematic studies
of the flow of the streams and the
conditions which affect that flow.
The work in Georgia has been car
ried on for more than a decade, dur
ing which period all the more impor
tant streams and many of the lesser
ones have been measured many times
and records have been kept of daily,
monthly, and saesonal variations in
their flow. Most of the data thus
collected have been published from
time to time, but so many of the re
ports are out of print or otherwise in
accessible that Messrs B. M. Hull and
M. R. Hall, who have had charge of
the work, have assembled all the data
relating to the State in a report just
issued by the Survey as Water-Supply
Paper Ho. 197. In addition to de-
scriptions of the streams, records ol
daily gage heights, and estimates of
monthly flow, the report includes ta
bulated elevations of the surfaces ol
the streams at specified points, by
means of which the fall of the stream*
can be estimated for use as power,
and indicates available undeveloped
sites. A simpleforuaula for determin
ing the horsepower when fall and flow
are known is also presented, and inci
dental descriptions of the topograph
ic and geologic features of the Slate
are given. The paper is ready for dis
tribution, and copies may be obtained

MUHICIPALUNACY.

Judging from the reports that reach

to the condition of civic lighting com

The Increase of the public debt of
Birmingham, England, from $4,000,000
in the early seventies of the last eeu
tury to $73,000,000, according to the
last available figures, shows how com
pletely municipal ownership wipes out
a debt of that kind. Alongside of $73.-
000,000, a paltry sum of $4,000,000 Is
not only wiped out, but actually an
nihilated.
“Oh, Just Itsteu to me." finally ex
claimed Mrs. Chatters, “annoying you

Teaching the Parrot.
Owners of these interesting birds
must remember that if they wish them
to talk well the best time to teach
them is in the evening with the cage
covered over and placed in a dark room
and the teacher enunciating the words
slowly and distinctly and persistently.
The natives of India consider that a
slight operation upon the bird’s tongue
is ueeessary before it will speak easily.
