Science In Dodgeville.

While in some towns the young
men stand on the street corners,
holding fast to the bottoms of their
pockets, and whistling solitary re-
QUEENS over expiring ambition, the
young men of DodgeviIIe are vigor-
ousIy wrestling with the abstruse
problems of practical science, and are
daily bringing to light many quaint
and curious illustrations of forgotten
lore.
The clerk in the post Office and an
other operator have been experiment
ting in biography. They stretched
couple of wires across the street
using couple of chimneys and q
boat sign for telegraph poles, aud
and after getting their batteries in
order proceeded to give each other
information of events privately. The
clerk sent the first dispatch and when
it was written out and ready to send
it read as follows:
s'The girl with the curly hair is in
the post Office"
The operator at the other end of
the line took off the dispatch as it
came, and after translating it read as
follows:
"Three cubs and q white bear
rolled off the house."
The second operator thought that
a dispatch of so much importance as
that demanded a prompt reply so he
imme diately set thumb and finger TO
work and thought he sent back the
following answer:
"Where did they come from r.
But when the post office end OF
the concern took it off it read as
follows:
"Catch them with spoon"
This tickled the post Office clerk
nearly to death he said it was the
best hit since Joe Bradley made
Hayes President;
The telegraph scheme was sailing
now under full commission, and the
boys thought q man must be very
stupid if he didn't understand tele-
graphy.
This new corporation adopted the
system of other companies, and un-
dertook to send midnight dispatches.
The first of these dispatches was
sent 1920. Before it went on the
wires it read:
evil the old lady go to church
Saturday night r.
But when it came off at the ether
end it read
aThe old beggar came down the
street swearing, tight"
The operator at the other end OF
the line thought he was being tritied
with, and got mad, and in his passion
dashed his fingers on the machine
and began rafting away, and
thought he had sent the following
saucy answer:
sWhat the HI do | care ~
But when the dispatch was taken
off it read:
"Waiting for a switch of false
hair"
This response was satisfactory and
the operator showed off the following
finale:
"Time to quit.
The other end of the line took il
off:
"Keep your lip"
This made him mare angry than
ever, and he siezed hold of the wires
and dissolved the corporation.

was COMMITTED to Punishment from
Great Britain. After fourteen years
by great solicitations, he obtained
permission to return, but only to Lon.

Angels seen by Indians,
From the British Columbia colonist


BY the Otter we are III receipt o.
extraordinary news from Metlakatlah.
the prosperous and populous village
formed many years ago by Mr.. Dun
can, lay missionary of the Church
Missionary society of London. the
philanthropist who took in hand the
regeneration of the savage tribe on
the Northwest Coast of the province
The story goes that last Sunday night
week several Indians entered the
Mission Church to pray. While en-.
gagged in their devotions bright
light arose at the altar and soon
spread over the whole chancel. Pres
entity five figures clad in long white
gowns appeared in the chancel and
knelt at the altar as if praying. The
Indians left the church and called
others to come and witness the sight.
A large number poured into the
church and gazed awestruck upon the
spectacle. Among others Rev Mr..
Hall of the mission saw the wonder
full apparitions, which soon after faded
away. Mr.. Hall at once opened the
prayer meeting. The whole settle
ment attended, and much religious
tervor was manifested and has since
continued--prayer meetings being
held at all hours of the day and night,
and the spirit of revival holds full
sway over the village. Messengers
have left MetlakatlaE for the surround
ing tribes. to relate the extraordinary
manifestations, and the revival IS
spreading up and down the coast.

A strange discovery is reported
from the Lake of Geneva. A tourist
having lost his trunk, two divers
were employed to search for it.
While they were below water they
found what they supposed to be q
village, since covered by the lake.
Their statements led to an investi-
CATION of the spot by the municipal
authorities, who took measures to
ascertain the truth of the extraor-
binary account of the divers. On
covering the placid surface with oil
these latter were able to distinguish
the plan of the town, streets, squares
and detached houses, making the bed
of the lake. The ruddy hue which
characterized them led the obser-
vers to suppose that the buildings
had been covered with the famous
vermillion cement which was used
by the celts. Cimbrii, and the early
Gauls. There are about two hun
dred houses arranged over an oblong
surface, near the middle of which is
space more open, supposed to have
been used for public assemblages.
At the eastern extremity lies large
square tower, which was taken for
rock. A Superficial investigation
seems to indicate that the construc-
ton of these buildings dates from
some centuries before our era. The
Council of Vaud has decided to
have the site of the dwellings in
closed by a jetty stretching from the
land, and to drain off the water, sc
as to bring to light what promises
to be one of the most interesting
archaeological discoveries of our day.

flags, moves away to the music OF
an improvised band. 1t will end in
the men returning to their work
with the loss of months time and
some experience. The agitators are
the only ones who make anything
by these movements. Swinton

The War Against Rum
goes on with varying success. A
large number of low groggeries have
been fined over and over again dur
ing the week, and few of them
have thrown up the sponge and
quit ia disgust. The big hotels close
on Sundays, and serve liquors at
tables in their restaurants which the
law can't take hold of. The "law
and order lsague," are deter
mined to at least check the
traffic, and they will, if they do not
get to quarrelling among them
selves. Que faction wants the effort
to be made against the low bucket
shops alone,-but the others insist
that the fashionable bars need shut
ting up as well. But, divided as
they are, am glad to say some i'm
preston is being made upon the
trade. The city is cursed with over
a nm st1o af c b nd nd
is too heavy tax TO bear. But for
these crime factories, the police force
could be reduced one half, and the
criminal courts would have nothing
to do. Judge Daily remarked the
other day that SO per cent. of the
criminal cases that come before him
could be traced directly to rum.

There is no truth whatever in the
story that is heing circulated that
Theodore Tilton and his wife are to
shortly come together again. T'lton
processes to believe that his wife
was false to him, and Mrs. Tilton
believes that her husband was false
to her, and they both prefer to
live alone, or rather, not with each
other. Theodore called upon her
on his return from Europe to inform
her as to the condition of her daugh-
ters, whom he LETT in Europe, but the
interview was confined strictly to
that business She is living quietly
in Brooklin, and he is living quietly
in I'd avenue. And the story that
Tilton and Moulton had quarreled is
equally untrue. They are as fast
friends as ever, and hate Beeeher
as cordially as ever.
Business
is not so brisk as last week. Tho
uncertainty as to the silver bill has
had a depressing effect, for no one
knows what the condition of things
will be if it passes. 1t would be a
blessed thing for the country if the
currency takers would let it alone,
and let it regulate itself. Medicine
kills more than it cures, and there
is nothing so terrible as uncertainty,
for it checks business, while expen-
ses go on Just the same.

BANKS, national banks. savings
banks and all banks are failing by the
Score. The currency we now have
and the laws we now have are unfav-
orable to their success. They want
a change. They have a party at
work TO dupe the people into making
a change for them. That party is
called Greenback, and if it could ev-
err succeed the wealth of the industry
of this country would all flow into the
great moneyed corporations as natur-
urally as rivers flow to the sea and
the corporations would then be no
more liable to fail than the great sea
to Gry up.
