At midday to-day it was 96 or 97 in absolute shade. But one fatal case of sunstroke has: been reported as yet. ‘That occurred this afternoon. A man 40 or 45 years old,a stranger, was walking toward the city on the Grand River Valley Railroad. He met some section-men, and, saying he didn’t teel well, asked. them to bring him to twwn. Shortly after he fell, and had been move put a few rods wien he died. ‘The Coroner is holding an inquest.

Of all the varied work which falls to the lot of a reporter there is probably no one thing so utterly mean, despicable, and impos- sible of description as the weather. It fs im- practicable and useless for any man to at- tempt the task of describing the day, from a thermometrical standpoint, until that day limbo has been relegated to the of days that are passed. Were any fellow—emotionally insane or otherwise —to sit down at 6 p. m. and attempt to record, on the basis of the hours that had passed,tho few hours needed to com: the day, that fellow would find himself The morning opened hotter than anything in the revised version, and kept on that way until an hour afternoon. The thoroughly unreliable thermometer which hung in the sun registered 102 degrees Fahrenheit. His brother in the shade said it was 94, or there- abouts,—making yesterday the hottest of the season. ‘There was absolutely no breeze and people just baked and sweltered. It seemed fora while as if Chicago had de- seended to the level of St. Louis, and had rendered itself uninhabitable for the thne being. But about 1 p.m. there happened along a“ Manitoba wave” from the north- east, and for the rest of the day the tempera- ture was bearalile, and Chicago was the sum- mer-resort once more, ‘The record, as taken. by Manasse, shows for itself, as follow: 8 a. m., 87 degrees; 10 a. mn., 93; noon, 3p.m., 77; Sv. w., 7 ‘The following comparative table may be of interest.

Meyer, returnable July 2, THE CANAL PUMPS. Apparent Defect in the Plans of the City Authorities. The Water Now Flowing Through the Canal Not to Be Utilized. An Unnecessary Amount of Work to Be Done by the Engines. The city authorities opened Friday the bids for tho engines for tne canal pumping-works - at Bridgeport. The specifications under which these bids were made required in brief that the engines should be able to lift 60,000 cubic fect of water per minute a hight of cight feet from the South Branch into tho canal. It is provided by the Joint resolution adopted by the last Legislature in reference to supplying the canal with water that if the city can furnish a supply of 60,000 cubic reet per minute, including tho present tiow, the Commissioners may then take the water from the city. The present flow, according to the statement of the City Engineer, is about 15,000 cubic feet per minute, aud averages the year through, accord- ing to him, about 12,000, depending, of course, almost entirely upon the hight of the water in the Iake, which is by no meaus coustant, varying from year to year. It was very low a year ago, and is now gradually rising. Jusomuch as there is now passing through tho canal from the river 15,000 cubic feet of water. per minute, YHE QUESTION MAY NATURALLY BE ASKED by the reader, why should che city purchuse en- gines with a capacity of 60,000 cubie feet when, apparently, alf that it should have to raise from the South ranch into tho eanal should be the difference between 60,000 and the quantity actu ally passing through the canal? A reading of the specilicutions, however, which are pre- dicated on the construction of un eight-foot dam with the necessary locks, cuttmg off the South Branch from the canal, would seem to indicate that it was tho futention of the city to throw away the flow that already exists, and, assuming that 15,0W cubic feet now pass throuzh, to laboriously raise that 15,000 cubic fect per min- ute before proceeding to pump the additional quantity that may be required cither for the purpose of keeping the canal full of water or Yor promoting the cleansing of the South Brauch of the Chicago River. . In order to get some additional light on the point, a reporter had A TALK WITH CITY-ENGINEER CREGIER ON THE SUBJECT. “We do lose the present advantage of a natural flow of 20,000 cubic feet a minute,” said he, but you must remember that we yet that tlow of 20,000 cubie feet only when the luke is high. The average How, the year around, would not be 15,0 cubic feet a minute: no, indeed, probably not more than 12,000. ‘Zo produce iow of 2,000 cubic feet, we should have 2% feet of water. ‘To-day the Inke Js two feet. Now, this dam is to be made so that when the water is high, the pumps needn't run. It will be fur- nished .with a centre and ‘two side gates, through which the water cau ron when the Inke is bigh, The pumps will only run ut low stages. Suppose now we get a bead of three feet. ‘That would carry 25,000 cubic feet 2 minute. The higher the water in the luke and the river, the hisher ft will be at the dam, which isitselt tobe eight feet high. The higher tho Water the less tho distance we have to lift it up. if the water inthe lake and river rose to six feet, we would only have to lift it two feet. If it ruse eight feet, we wouldn't have to pump at all. It would come up to the top of the damand flow over it into the canal. . In short, the water will be lifted in proportion as the take is up or down. The joss involved consists in the extra labor required to pump the water the ditference between its hight and the All Rome was there:-fut! ere the march began, yuu Ere to receive their charge the bearers came, (Who had not sought bjm 7) and when all beheld Him where he lay, bow ¢hanged from yesterday, Him in that bour cut offyand at his head His ast, great“ work,-wioa entering in, they Now on the dead, then on that masterpiece— Now on his face, lifeless and colorless, ‘Then on those 'fornis! divine, that ‘lived and reathed, af <And would live on for ages—all were moved, Aud sighs burst forth ang loudest lumentations.

But l cannot transfer his - graces and beauty to my sheet of paper, un- Jess Lshould quote some very interesting lines from Byron,—lines that have no doubt helped immeasurably to immortalize this particular statue: Or vicw the lord of tne unerring bow, The god of life, and poesy, and light— The Sun in human limbs arrayed, and brow All radiant from bis triumph in the fizbt; The shaft bath just been shot—tho arrow bright With an immortai’s venga ince; in his eye And nostril, beautiful disdain, and might, nd wajesty flash their fill lightnings by, Developing in that one g}ance the Deity.

Some one has said, “Itisa result ra art that would have been deemed an impossibility until seen ae- complished.” ‘Turning to the Vatican, go sco Laocoon’s torture, dignifyjps pain— A father's love and mortal’s agony ‘With an immortal’s patience blending.

Of course we Bightofthe dam. [fthe water was two feet this extra lubor would be used in pumping ft up the remaining six feet. You might say, I sup- ose, in addition to that, that you are put at the loss of paying interest on the cost of your plant tor that two feet of water.” “ {3 there any compensation for this loss?" “Not that | know ot.” “Could it be avoided by using a siphon ar- rangenient?” “T don't see bow a siphon would do any good.”* “ Why fs the dam to be eight teet high, and not seven feet, or four feet, or any other number?” “Simply because it takes a head of eight feet to throw the required (.) cubic feet a minute, according to the calculauons of Mr. Jenne, the engineer of tho canal.” “Hew touch will the water be raised south of the dam?” “It will be raised eight feet.” “ And at Lockpo “It won't be any higher there than it is now, Yor the reasen that it hus takeu all the bead we can give ithere to get it down there. ‘The canal between bere and Lockport isan incline. Of course, at points on the way the water will be higher than it is now, but at Lockport. it will be no higher, for the reason just stated.” It appears from these statements that it is the ince tion of the Engineering Department of the city NOT TO UTILIZE THE PRESENT FLOW through the canal. Instead of so constructing the machinery, if it can possibly be done, as to pump simply what is required in addition to the present flow, it has first to pump the quantity now going through the canal, and then, on top of » Whatever more is required. Were the s in operation to-morruw they would be pum required to begin business by raising 15,000 bight of ot put- the eubile feet per minute a six feet for the ling things. in juste: condition in which they now are, ana then, as- suming that the total quantity wanted was 20, cubic fect, the pumps would baye to go on and. raise 5,000 more fect. In other words, if the city, assuming that the tlow fs now 15,0 cuble teet per minute, wants 2 How of 5,000 more, or 20,000 in all, it will have to pump 20,000 fect, aud not 5,000. There appears to be x wastefulness of power in this which is not fully explained by the City Engineer. It certninly seems as It there should be enough engineering ability cx- tant to utilize what iow there now is, and not to throw it away ag tho first step in the program. No contract nas yet been awarded, no one bidder bus been selected, and, therefore, it is not too lute to find some ulachiners, or de- vise'some plan which will accomplish the object desired—the purification, of the river and the maintaining of a sufficient current in tho canal to prevent any annoyance to the dwellers along the canal and river by reason of Chicago sew- age, Inaless expensive and more satistactory manner than will be the case apparently under the present plans of the city uuthorities. PAINTINGS AND STATUES. Stray Leaves from a Traveler’s Diary. For The Chicago Tribune. Rome, Monday, May 9.—Ilow many times we have run in to see St. Peter’s and the Vatican! ‘That is the true way to see sights, Ithink As svon as you became weary with one kind, turn away and try another. Most certainly it is utterly impossible to enjoy or appreciate fine paintings and statues when the mind is tired and worn out. So we have spentan hour or two at the Vatican, that st storchouse of art treasures, a greatimany times, To-day we saw “The 'Transfigura- tion,” by Raphael. Lsuppose the greatest picture in the world is “Tle Last Supper,” by Leonardi da Vinci. I mean by greatest the most generally admired, most widely known by copies,—the subject one of dignity and lofty thought, worthy of lasting fame, That world-renowned work is in Milan, and the original Ihave not yet seen, though I did see a celebrated copy in the Royal Academy, London. Next to “The Last Supper” Mrs, Jamieson ranks “ ‘The Transfiguration.” There are two distinct parts, The lower represents a boy, pos- sessed of an evil spirit, throwing his arms about with supernatural strength, his eyes strained and wild. Around him are his be- wildered and anguish-stricken parents, his sisters appealing to a number of the diseiples for help, and other observers. The scene is full of wo, guilt, and sin. The appeal for help isin vain, but one of the disciples is pointing to the Savior above, as if there was a gleam of hope. The upper part portrays a scene where all is brightness and glory,—a glory so daz- aling that Peter, James, and John lie pros- trate, blinded by the sight, On the left of Christ, the central figure, holding the tables of the law, is Moses; on the right, Elijah. ‘The form of the Savior is full of dignity, grace, and gentleness; his face beams with Jove and tender merey. Itis the only por- trait of the Divine One I have ever seen that at all approaches the ideal in my own mind. Here is hope for a guilty, troubled world. And then, with how much greater interest does one behold this picture, remembering that it was the last and. crowning effort of the gifted Raphael. Tlic lower part was not entirely completed when he died, and the un- finished painting was placed above his coflin as he lay in state, When Raphael went, ills heavenly face the mirror of his mind, His mind u templa for all lovely things To tock to and innabit—when he went, Wrapped in his sable cloak, the cloak be wore, Yo sieep beneath the venerable Dome— By those attended who in life had foved, Had worshiped, following in his steps to fame (Twas on an-April day, when Nuture amilcs), looked at the long, pointed ears, and thought of Donatello, \ among the thousands \of statues we have seen we gan never forgei three “ Venuses.” Ido not fike the * Venus\of the Capitol” as well as the “ Venus of Milo,” in the Louyre at Paris, or the ‘‘ Venus Qe Medici,” in the ‘Tribune at Florence, Inded, to my mind, the forms of all these statuds are disappoint- ing, unless it be that of fhe “Venus of Milo.” Her face isnot only pretty, but ex- presses character, and faintly approaches one’s ideal of womanhood.{ ‘The * Venus” at Florence is just a handsome, graceful toy.

Great mischief has re- sulted. That is the onked fact, and we do uot wonder that the plain statement of it galis Mr. Conkling. — ee SALES OF BANK OUTFITS, E. E. Halstead, Banker, Ponea, Neb.; Lewis Linebarger & Co., Bankers, Varna, Ill.; Bremer Couuty Bank, Waverly, Ia,; Bank of Miles City, Miles City, Montana; Chippewa County Bank, Montevedio, Minu.; Moody’ County Bank, Fian- dreau, D. T.; Hood & Kincaids, Bankers, Pleas- anton, Kas. This shows more. than one bank outfit every day, which, though not equal to the usual average, st{ll figures up protty largely, as_ in nearly every instance a “ bank outfit” means a burglar safe weighing from two to five tons, a time lock worth $300, and one of Dicbold’s vault doors, that are famous with architects for their artistic beauty, proportions, and strength. This makes the ‘bank sales” figure up into the thousands each day, besides tho enlesof fire- proof and other works, which makes a very large aggregate. It must be remembered that’ these sales are all mage by John W. Norris, Vice-Presi- dentof the Dfepold Safe & Lock Company, or by persons in his employ, at Chicago or through- out the Northwest. Should we undertake to specify all the sales made by the other offices and agentsof the Companyin the East and South, they would, ot course, be largely in- creased, ns the business is National in character, in fact taking in the entire Continent. ——<$<————— ‘W.
