It is doubtful whether there could be gotten together a body of men more specially fitted to investigate municipal lighting than the six who were selected by the Civic League of St. Louis. Their report, excerpts from which are given elsewhere in this issue, contains three distinct contributions which are worthy of the thoughtful consideration of all citizens, In the first place it shows why the actual cost of operating a mu- nicipal plant is likely to greatly exceed the estimated cost. It also shows how almost impossible it is to get at the real cost of operation of municipal plants, because the officials who compile the reports "are advocates of a cause rather than disinterested compilers of statistics." And, lastly, the report gives in 'detail the items which should be included to secure a true estimate of municipal cost as compared with con- tract prices. In some respects this is the most important feature of the re- port, for it is the touchstone which en- ables even the inexpert to detect the es- sentially misleading character of almost all municipal reports. ,It is only by ig- noring some of these items that M. 0. "experts" are able to make a showing of success and` economy for municipal es compared with contract lighting. - Exchange, Italy Recruiting in Africa.

Spirit Lake, Iowa, recently voted by a good majority to sell or lease the elec- tric plant which was presepted to it a few Boys ago, because, as the town clerk writes: Ite certainly cannot be operated suc- cessfully under municipal ownership. It has never paid and never will." For the first eight months of 1907 the earnings were $3,023, and the operating expenses were $0,328. This means that the street arcs cost at the rate of some- thing over $350 a year, with no allow- ance for depreciation or lost taxes.

W, Conklin, of NewtLon- don, Capt, Law, carried the hugest con- signment of oyster shells err token from this harbor when she sailed on Sun- day, 'There were about 10,000 bushels of shells in the cargo, representing 30,000 gallons of oysters. The usual barge ship- ment of shells from this port is between 10,000 and 15,000 bushels, although the largest previous cargo was 23,000 bush- els. The shells are to be used in cover- ing oyster beds in New Haven. They are put od the beds, in prepara- tion for the spawning season, which is close at hand. Oyster spawn, unlike other fish spawn, is a creamy substance which rises to the surface of the water and after floating about in the forth of scum' sinks to the bottom and adheres to whatever hard substance it -comes in contact with. Thus the shelling of the beds facilitates propagation, and a large number of shells are used every year in that manner.

Queer Virginia Oysters. Iltut sure enough, did you know there were some oysters, and Virginia oysters at that, which cannot live always under sheets df water? The seaside oyster does not grow in deep water, say over ten feet, and 'the most and beat of them grow in water so shoal that it is dry ebb half the time. These latter are the most prolific seed bearers we have; but they will die if planted in deep water or in the Chesapeake Bay. The inside or bay oyster should never ebb baro 'to thrive best. Singular, isn't it, that the Virginia oysters, one and 'the same bivalves, can lead a double life, but only one phase of It at a time The seaside fellow must be out of water a good portion of his time to thrive, while the bay and river fellow will die in summer and freeze in winter if exposed to the air. -From the Virginia Citizen.

They are having quite exciting times at the home of Elmer Dare, in Harmony, about two miles from here. June 0 the place was visited by spir- its, hobgoblins or some other obnoxious unearthly creatures . The family was awakened in the night by cider and vin- egar barrels being rolled over in the cel- lar, doors slamming, chairs tipped over and other. noises too numerous to men- tion. emtion. The neighbors were called in by tele- phone and ele•phore,and watched all night, but failed to locate the cause of the disturbance. The next three nights the same myster- ious doings were repeated, and several window's were broken. Although there was a bright moon and several men watched the place, they failed to discover any cause for the unusual commotion, We have not heard the result of Satur. day night, but a crowd, with the deputy sheriff for a leader, were fully resolved to solve the mystery if possible.

The sparrow which was discovered a few (lays ago sitting on a nest among the coal of a Great Eastern Company's engine running between S.

The nest, we are told, was "quite warm and comfortable." About the same time a couple of rob- ins built their nest on the axle of a col- lierywagon which was standing idle for a few days at Saghill, Northumberland. Six eggs were laid, and then te•'tvagon was started on its journeys again.

Orlie Hizer,of near Lawrie, wan in the city yesterday to claim bounty on a couple of large wolf scalps. Having occa- sion to go down into a gulch, he threw his shotgun over his shudder in hopes of a chance shot at a rabbit. He noticed a stir in a clump of bushes and found that they contained a wolf, part of its body being visible, With only a single bar- reled shotgun, he took chances and fired. Through the cloud of smoke he saw the animal coming straight at him, and jumped to one Bide as its jaws snapper.. Quickly reloading, he fired again, killing it.
