As for you, we ought not perhaps to be so
lenient; but, in consideration OF your youth
and Of the high position you hold in your
country, We will overlook your fault. You
are forgiven. Outside this gate gondola
waits for you it will take you to AIestre, and
thence you will be conveyed to the frontier
Go but remember always what you have
seen tonight"
Selling with n trembling hand the lace
handkerchief that had been the cause of so
much trouble, Sir John wanted to speak
wanted to thank his unknown Judge but be-
fore he could recover his voice the phantoms
had disappeared and two jailors only were by
his side. Without word, and apparently
without an effort, these two men opened a
secret door leading to the canal and helped
the now liberated man into a gondola that
was moored to the steps, and in the forepart
of which lay his luggage No word was said
no order was given. The two gondoliers
seemed TO know their duty, and they silently
padded away from the palace in which Sir
John had spent that dreadful night At
Mestre Il coach was waiting for him In a
few hours the frontier was crossed. Then
only did he begin to breathe freely. But for
a long time afterward he avoided any alusion
to his Venetian adventure and for many
years he could not bear to speak of it.

MATTER.
OF the COAversiOn OF LIfeIeAs sUbstan-
ces into she Living Organism.


The doctrine of spontaneous generation,
though not yet proved, and owing TO its ex-
treme difficulty may not be proved for CEN
turtles to come, is, nevertheless, believed by
many able naturalsts and is fast gaining con-
verts. There is no insuperable, scientific
fact opposed to it, while the graduated scale
of animated beings extending downward to
the lowest conceivable forms, dwelling in air,
earth and water, restrained only by the bar
rier of cold or the dearth of food, tends
strongly to confirm it, That Huxley failed
to discover it in his Alpine trip, proves moth
ing more than that he failed of his object as
hundreds before him have failed to discover
some scientific truth afterwards revealed to
some more fortunate investigator. In 1868
he was more successful, making the impOr-
tant discovery of the Bathybius, a species of
the Moneron living in the deep parts and
upon the floor of the sea, consisting of living
organized slime. Afterwards Carpenter and
Thompson, English biologists, and Emil
Bessels, a German explorer observed and re-
corded the economy and functions of this
primitive life-form. There are several genera
Vi tho hAohSiOui ah hn'ihB lhe' Pe"uiiAi
habits by which the naturalist recognizes
them, none of which are more characteristic
than their manner of reproduction.
1t appears that all Monera are homoge-
neous mass of gelatin, capable of absorbing
liquid nourishment at whichever part of the
body it is offered, showing that this simplest,
primordial form is as destitute of anterior and
posterior organs and of viscera as the sponge.
In the Protamoeba reproduction is as simple
as the Moneron itself. Contraction takes place
in the middle, increasing more and more un-
til separation results in two individuals

A day or two ago, as a colored boot-blaok
was passing a downtown bar-room and fruit
store, he picked up stump of a cigar from
the gutter and went into store and asked
for match. He was met with the reply,
'We don't keep matches to give away"
The boy started out, but stopped at the door,
turned6 back and asked the proprietor; ''Do

The city of WATERFOWL can soon boast
of a military company, called the Water
town Rifles. A number of our citizens
have been engaged in organizing mill
tary company for several weeks. The
names of seventy-two men have been en-
rolled, and the company will be muster
ed into state service next Monday, July
9Th, by Col. Burchard, chief of the Gov
ernors staff, when the officers will be Sc
lected and commissioned by Governor
Smith, after which arms and accoutre-
ments will be furnished the company by
the State. No city in the state has better
material out of which to organize mill
tary company, and we predict that in due
time the Watertown Rifles will take front
rank in the Wisconsin National Guards,
for appearance and efficiency in drill,
which is saying a good deal, for Wiscon-
sin has some very fine military compa-
mics.

The Regatta.

The first of what we hope to be series
of regattas took place On the river last
Saturday evening was witnessed by hun
dreds of citizens, who crowded the bridges
and lined the banks on either side eager
spectators of the trial of skill and muscle.
The two cared race between Edward f.
Brandt, Duro Woodland and Charles
Moore, was easily won by the former,
Woodland coming in second. The four
cared contest excited great interest, the
following crews entering: J. M. Turner
and E. 0. Eaton, Charles Salick and A.
S. Griswold, Diego Beurhaus and A.
Quentmeyer. Messrs. Turner and Eaton
pulled in first, many boat lengths ahead,
Messrs. Salick and Griswold coming in
second. The prize for each race was a
silver cup. Ia the interest manifested
over this rowing match we hope the par
Elephants will feel encouraged to try again
and we trust this one will prove to be
the beginning of number OF boat races
on the river here this season. Oarsmen
have very nice pull from Main street
bridge up the river either to the mouth
of Silver Creek or Second street bridge.
We are quite sure that all who witnessed
the splendid rowing of the gentlemen
who pliedthe oar Saturday evening, were
highly pleased and amused and would be
glad to see repetitions of the same sport
from time to time during the present sea-
son. Let US have duly organized re-
gatta club.

The state census of Watertown taken
in June 1875 made out the population of
the wards to be as follows:


Here is a grand total OF 1924 and how
our loss in population can be 1856 in five
years is quite puzzling, especially with
the fact patent that our city now contains
a great many more dwelling houses than
it did at that time, and with compare
lively few of them empty. In fact it is
remarked by every one coming into the
place that Watertown contains fewer
houses without occupants than any other
city in the state. But we notice that our
city is not alone in failing to come up
with general expectations in number of
inhabitants. Nearly all the principal
cities in the state except Milwaukee are
falling short of the calculations made on
the population. Watertown in this res
pect has Jared no worse than most of
other places, and we therefore have no
reason to feel particularly unhappy over
the set back to our figures.
