THE FLUTED COLUMN. - Wliy the Greeks Adopted Thia Form In Their Architecture. The Greeks observed that a smooth column melted in the light and that its lines were vague and uncertain, writes Jean Schoepfer in the Architectural Record Magazine. In order to restore Its rlpfinitpnpss thpv conoelred the Idea of fluting it. . The sharp ridges of the flutings, catching the night, contrasted with the dark hollows, thus giving : body to the column and emphasizing j the vertical outline of the edifice, j whence a double advantage. This discovery could never have been made on paper. Then, as the abacus of the capital j casts a shadow upon the top of the j column, the junction of capital and colI nmn becomes indistinct To restore the ! necessary effect the Greek cuts several deep lines at the point of junction, and to emphasize them he paints them in a dark tone. Even the curve of the circular torus carrying the abacus is so designed that the bright light, striking upon the relief, shall fade Into a shaded half tint toward the hollow. Thus, as Viollet le Due truly says, the Greek preserves even in appearance the forms which his reason tells him to adopt as being the best and most enduring. A GORGEOUS SIGHT. The Way an Eskimo Belle Look a When Dreaaed For n Daaee. When an Eskimo young lady goes to a ball she Is a gorgeous sight to gaze upon. A traveler reports just how a belle was dressed on such an occasion. Her dress was made of the Intestines of a seal, spilt and sewed together. This makes a transparent garment and the girl trimmed It with elaborate embroidery of colored worsteds and fringed it with strings of beads. Her trousers were white and made of Siberian reindeer skin embroidered with strips of wolf skin. Her hair was braided on each side with strips of wolf skin and strips of beads. Heavy necklaces and pendants of beads and teeth of animals hung around her neck and over her shoulders. Snow white gloves made of fawn skin were on her bands. These fitted perfectly and were ornamented with strips of skin from some animal perhaps the seaL To complete this elaborate outfit this Eskimo beile carried lorn; eagle feathers, one in each hand, -which she wared as she danced, Washington Star.

The ordinary hour for dinner ln England in the fifteenth century appears to have been 10 o'clock ln the forenoon. In the larger baronial castles a lavish hospitality was practiced, but even among the lower ranks, says a contemporary, the "bona fide traveler" could always be sure of a welcome and the best provision that the house afforded. To shut the door upon the houseless stranger was an offense which the church would not readily condone', and it was remarked of more than one who had erred In this respect that luck ever afterward deserted him. The approach of the meal was often announced by the blowing of horns, so that wayfarers might hasten their movements. Curiously enough, grace was said before the tables were laid, and the guests appear to have had their appetites whetted In a most salutary manner by regarding the increments of the attendants as they spread the cloths and brought ln saltcellars, drinking vessels and other necessaries. To wait on others at table was considered rather honorable than otherwise, and the -story of the Black Prince attending to the wants of the captive French monarch contains nothing extraordinary. In the households of the great the carvers and those who presented the wine at table were never less than esquires and often nobles and barons. Family Magazine. Irritant Draft. The use of tea and coffee, says an authority, who includes tobacco as well. Is Injurious and ought not to be Indulged In by those who seek to place themselves ln the best condition to resist disease, because they belong ln the category of Irritant drugs. These, by rousing the rltal forces to get rid of the poison, provoke the action which is mistakingly supposed to be an added force, whereas this action is only one of self preservation. It will readily be seen bow much supporting and building up of the system there are ln such substances by trying to live on them to the exclusion of other things. The result woald prove the absurdity of the Idea. A Simple Man. It takes a neighbor to disentangle a man from a handsome setting.

Notwithstanding a previous statement that not more than 310 men were trapped, it was reiterated today that the death list, if It Is ever learned completely, will be more than 500. Nine funerals were held today. The hearses and wagons that bore the coffins were followed by a crowd of men, women and children, almost a mile long.

RICHMOND WATER WORKS PLANT FOUND GOOD INVESTMENT (Continued From Fa$e One.)

would begin In earnest and with plans completed, organization perfected and materials on the ground, all parts of the work should make rapid progress. It Is estimated that by December 31, 1910 the reservoir, wells, galleries, pumping station and machinery and about 25 miles of the larger mains would be ready for service. Hy thl date also 1.000 services should be connected, as well as 500 fire hydrants. During the open weather of the next six months the plan would be completed. However, not until June SO, 1913 would the riant' net earnings be equal to those of the going plant. or the plant now In operation. Recommends Changes. In his report to the board of works. Mr. Maury recommends changes tn the local plant to the extent of $13S. 470. Some of the most pronounced changes suggested by the expert. who made a most complete Investi gation of the existing: conditions of the plant are as follows: 1. An increase in the water sup ply. 2. Various minor changes ln the machinery at the pumping station. 3. A new 20-inch main. 4. Changes ln the pipe lines ln the vicinity of the pumping station. 5. One additional compound pump ing engine of 5.000,000 gallons capa city, daily. 6. A 16 inch pipe line from Twentythird and Main streets to South Seventh and H streets and a number of other pipe lines to relieve dead ends. 7. One hundred and ten additional fire hydrants on the existing mains. Net Book Value. The average net earning of the company for the past six years was $49,500. The company has paid oft $35,000 In bonds of indebtedness. It has paid $76,873 ln cash dividends, and $125,000 in stock dividends. The assets of the company at the present time are $653,299.35. and the total liabilities $592,840.40. During the past six years the company has mads $201,474.52. The net book value of the investment up to June 30, 1909. shows $650,695.18. In 1914. at the present rate of increase, the gross revenue of the company will be $88,000; the cross revenue at present being about $75,000. The operating expenses, which are now about $26,000 will, ln 1914. be $31,000. It fact it can be stated authoritatively that the local plant Is la better condition at present than the plants In many cities of a similar slse or even much larger than Richmond. A Lengthy Report. Expert Maury's report aa submitted to the board of works would maka the most dim and obscure passage of Browning look like a plate glass window just after the colored boy sets through using the chamois. It covers three volumes and gives a minute and itemized account of every 'phase of the . plant. It . is complete la every particular and Is largely made vp of figures. There are maps and photographs showing; the various pipe lines over the city. .According to the report the present net earnings of the plant are $51,400. The estimate of Rudolph O. Leeds, editor of the Palladium, on the net earning was $51,480, which ho mad before Mr. Maury began his lnvestls-a-tion. The depreciation of the plant is $68,693.02. It will require weeks of deep study on the part of members of the board of works, however, before any decision can be reached in the matter. Each feature of the report will be studied separately and with great cam.
