Dallas Yeoman was given the privilege of constructing sidewalk in front of his property on Franklin street of vitrified brick instead of cement as ordered. The city attorney was directed to prepare an ordinance prohibiting traction engines from traveling the streets of this city when the same are soft and muddy, and | also requiring owners of such engines to protect bridges and street crossings by placing plank therejon when being crossed by such j engines.

A request is made that the hydrants be opened, tested and nipples oiled. In the report of the W. L. & P. Com., a motion was made to change the small transformers on business circuit to one large one. The cost of the change is estimated at about S6OO, while about SSOO is expected to he saved on fuel. Motion was carried. The water rate at the Nowels House was fixed at sls. An ordinance was introduced (first reading) which requires property owners abutting the river to remove the willows, weeds and other obstruction from channel.

An ordinance was adopted requiring the owners along Fisher ditch to keep the same free from obstruction. Passed nnder suspension of roles. The committee on garbage boxes was granted further time to make investigation.

Commissioners’ Court.

A special session of the commissioner was heki Thursday for the purpose of passing on bids for two bridges in Gillam tp., one in Marion and one in Carpenter, and also for a heating plant at the poor farm. The bridge bids en- | tire ranged from $4,925 to $4,200, five bridge companies filing bids, i The lowest bid was a lump bid, | instead of being separate for each bridge, and could not be entertained, therefore the letting will be re-advertised for the November session. Bids for the heating plant were $829 for steam or $949 for hot water. A Chicago man offered to put in a hot water attachment for the present furnace for $575. No action was taken. W. C, Babcock, auditor-elect, filed his bond in the sum of $lO,000 with J. D. Babcock, Granville Moody, Walter V. Porter, J. F. Warren and J. W. Cowden, bondsmen. Same was accepted.

FRENCHMEN’S PETS.

Lm of Animate Shown by Sobm Famous Litterateurs. A new journal, I/Ami des Betes, has appeared in Paris, says the London News. The “editress,” Mile. Neyrat, has been assured of the good will and sympathy of a number of academicians. Literary Frenchmen are very much in touch, I have often noticed, with animals. Scientific Frenchmen rarely are. I can remember Lamar-, tine and his dogs. He said of them: “They am at once my bodyguard and my friends. They read my thoughts and conduct themselves accordingly.” I also recollect Michelet and his white Angora cat. This beautiful creature twisted round his neck like a boa and kept it warm in winter. When in cold weather he walked out he kept his hands in the wide sleeves of his overcoat, as in a muff. The cat was rolled up in them. George Sand loved birds, but she did not seem to care for domestic animals. Old Dumas was the friend of all animals that would respond to his friendship, and especially of dogs. He had some seagulls that really stood high in the intellectual scale. Renan did not care for dogs, unless for a darling poodle of his wife’s, but he was devoted to cats, which he thought the best models ot deportment. Dumas fils disliked the dog, but was full of admiration for the cat. Pierre Loti confesses friendship for his cats. They understand him, and he them. They are not intrusive orawkward or brusque in their ways, and are most at home in a snugly luxurious salon. M. Mezieres inherits nothing less than a passion foi cats from father, mother and his four grandparents. His mother used to converse with her cats, and they understood her. Marshal Conrobert was extremely sensitive to the graceful ways of his cats, and thought the kitten the most charming creature alive. ,M. Coppee prefers cats to dogs. They are more discreet, and he finds they are just as friendly if well treated. But the cat will not caress'the person who usee it rudely and stands aloof. Is it not right? M. Coppee’s actual pet cat is a young Angora, that sits motionless on his desk when he writes. Were he to go on writing for hours, there it would siay. It walks among his scattered sheets of manuscript, never disturbing them, and does not set its paws down on writing that is not dry. M. Lavisse has subscribed to L’Ami des Betes. He sees 1 in animals “une vague humanite.” They have sensibilities and they suffer like human beings, and he thinks they have a right to be tended in their evil days by the sister of charitv.

PRINTS WITH X-RAYS.

Photographic Experiment of Interest to Newspaper Makers. • By the use of a sensitized paper a Frenchman has succeeded in doing some printing with the X-rays', though his accomplishments have not gone far enough to threaten the existence of the printing press. Radiographic ink, of a material calculated to intercept the rays, was used as a medium for making the copy to he reproduced. This was placed on a pile ol prepared paper two inches in thickness, and after an exposure of a few seconds to the sensitized paper—washed with a gelatine-bromide solution much like that commonly used by photographers —M. Izabard managed to secure excellent reproductions of the copy, each sheet, of course, being developed as in photography. Mechanical drying of the developed and fixed sheets' was resorted to in a trial for speed, and the result is said to have been The one trouble seems to be the difficulty of printing on one side of the paper only, as the method so far used allows the printing to show on the reverse side of the sheet. The inventor is now at work on a scheme to prevent this, and thinks that the trouble has practically solved by a method of sensitizing the paper in strips, so that impressions will) be taken on these stnps only, leaving the intervals ready for the strip sensitization and photographic printing at a future operation on the other sdae. The experimentei also thinks it possible to photograph with different copy each side of the same sheet of paper at the same operation, though his successes in that direction have not as yet been marked, save when small pieces of paper and widely separated lines for reproduction have been used.—N. Y. Times.

Water Filters.

Persons who rely upon domestic filters to purify water for household use will be interested to learn that, on the authority of the state board of health of M^yland, ( such filters may steadily lose efficiency until they become first-rate culture beds for bacteria, savs the Sanitarian. An example cited is that in the case of a man in Baltimore who sends the whole water supply of his house through a large niter and subsequently puts his drinking Water through one of the small domestic filten common in the market. A test showed that on a day when the citv taps were rnnning 510 bacteria to the cubic centimeter the large filter was delivering 9,900 bacteria in the same quantity of water.

From Timbers of Libby Prison.

North JudsonCor, Winamac Republican, J. Danelson, living in the north part of Starke county, built a bridge, for his own special use, across the Kankakee river near his country home that in a sense is a relic. The lumber of which the bridge is built was at one time a part of the famous Libby prison at Richmond, Virginia. Some years after the close of the war the building was torn down and moved to Chicago and used as a war museum. After the world’s fair closed, and it failed to be a profitable investment, was torn down and sold, Mr. Danelson buying several car loads of the lumber. Hon. W. H. Coffin has secured one of the grates through which many of the union soldiers looked longingly for liberty. He will present it to the grand army post at Knox.
