GIGANTIC RESERVOIR.

a Dam Which at the Present Time Con-
fines 10, ,OOO, 900, 900 Gallons of Water.
The present dam of the Bear Valley
Reservoir Company in San BernadinO
was constructed in 1885, and is so feet
high, 16 feet thick at the base. 3 feet at
the capstone, and 500 feet in length. 1t
is built into the bed rock at the bottom
of the Bear Creek Canyon, and abutted
into the solid rock on either side. The
body of water confined by this dam COW
erS 1,965 acres to an average depth of IS
feet, and contains O.OOO, 600. 900 gallons.
The engineer of the company, Mr..
Frank E. Brown, is now in the East,
but upon his return active steps will be
commenced to construct a new and
larger dam, the work upon which will
be begun early next spring. The new
dam will be located about 100 feet below
the present one, so that the water will
be confined by double dam. 1t will be
built into the bed rock, and
be 100 feet in height. The
width of it's base will be
"a feet and it's length $50 feet. The ca
pacity of the reservoir will be increa sed
nearly twenty-fold, and will include a
body of water 1a miles in length, miles
in width, with an average depth of 10
feet. The present dam with its canals
cost S165, 1000. The cost of the new one
has not been estimated yet, but will
probably reach nearly three-quarters of
a million, and will store water sufficient
to insure irrigating water for 100, 900
acres of land for three years.
Prof Davidson recently made thor
ough examination of the watershed and
catchment area of the reservoir site. and
also examined the dam site. and in
dorsed very highly the feasibility of the
new enterprise. stating that he never
saw equal facilities for storing so vast
a body of water at the same cost.
The Bear Valley reservoir is at pres
ent the largest irrigation reservoir in
the United States, and the proposed in
crease in it's capacity will make it the
largest of any kind.-Pacific Lumber

ALLISON INSTRUCTED.

What the People OF the Hawkeye stats
Expect from Their Representatives.
Senator Allison, speaking at Dubuque
the night before the election, said that
the issues in Iowa were the same this
year as they were last, and added:
.sIf there were good reasons why the Repub-
Hcan party should succeed last year, the same
reasons hold good this year. Our opponents
say in their platform and on the stump that the
protective tariff is wrong. The vote In Iowa
will be taken as an instruction to Its Repre-
sentatives in Congress.
Mr. Allison said this, no doubt, with
the expectation that the Republicans
would carry the State. He expected
that the Representatives in Congress
from Iowa would be instructed that the
protective tariff is right.
The instruction was different from
that which Mr.. Allison desired, but
there is no reason why it should be dis
regarded. Iowa has spoken. She has
pronounced against the protective tariff
as it now exists. Mr.. Allison should use
his influence with the Representatives.
elect from Iowa, of whom ten out OF
eleven are Republicans, to induce
them to obey the instructions of their
State.
Mr.. Allison said nothing of the vote
of the State as an instruction to its
Senators. This reticence may have been
the effect of modesty, or he may have
used the woro Representatives" in
general sense, to include members of
both houses of Congress, and not in the
more restricted sense in which it is gen.
orally used to denote members of the
L. A 60 1lry<,
sidered as more especially representa-
tive of the whole State than member
of the lower house, who is chosen by
the voters of a single district. 1t the
late vote in Iowa is an instruction to
anybody it is certainly such to Senator
Allison.
The country has not been won't to re-
gard Senator Allison as a man who will
ignore after the election the statements
and pledges made to the people before
their ballots were cast. Having signi-
fed in advance his willingness to be in
structed, he will now see, as we may
fairly assume, good reasons for going no
farther with that tariff bill of his which
was intended to reduce the surplus by
increasing taxation to such a point as to
check importations. This was in ac-
cordance with the Republican platform
of 1855; but Iowa has already seen the
folly of that plan, and has issued later
instructions, which her Senators should
not feel at liberty to disregard. The elec-
ton in Iowa means, as Senator Allison
intended in advance that it would mean
if the Democrats succeeded, that, not an
advance, but reduction of the tariff is
desired by the voters of the State

THE SILVER TARPON.

It Is Probably the Largest az Well as the
Most Beautiful Game Fish.
It is only comparatively short time
since sportsmen have known that there
was such fish as the tarpon. 1t in

Gulf coasts, and is probably the largest

bers to try their luck on the big fish. n
The tarpon is truly a monster, rang
ing from fifty to two hundred pounds in
weight, and from four and one-haH to
over six feet in length; not unlike a
cross between huge herring-to which
family it belongs-and huge bluefish
in its general proportions, with large,
protuberant eyes, and an ugly mouth
that opens on the fish's nose, so to
speak, covered on each side by hard,
bony, semi-circular flap that gives the
effect of jowl.
Behind and contiguous to the dorsa1
fin is sort of bony bayonet called the
feather" some eight or nine inches
long, that protrudes into the air in the
direction of the tail, forming an acute
angle with the line of the back.
The body is covered with brilliant
argentine scales, which give the fish the
effect of having been laved in silver,
and which have won for it the title Of
the "Silver King" These scales, which
are circular and slightly scolloped ON
the part of the edge that is overlapped,
vary from one to two inches and d half
In diameter. f s54i. stf4ly
The silvery epidermis covers only the
exposed portion, which is about one
fourth of the circumference. The re-
naming surface is slightly yellowish-
white, not dissimilar in hue to mother
of-pearl, though without it's iridescence,
translucent, but not transparent, and
shiny on the inner side. They are
hard, thin and of shell-like fiber.
After being removed from the fish and
dried, they curl up so as to remind one
of Saratoga chip, but will, if moist
ened and compressed, regain, at least
for short time, their former shape.
/; The extreme brilliancy of the silvery
portion becomes tarnished by degrees,
inclining either to yellow or black, but
the permanent color is still beautiful
and astonishing.
/. The back of the fish is black, and the
silvery effect gradually begins at line
well above the eye. Some anglers have
seen fit to perpetrate their triumphs by
having specimens of these monsters
mounted on panel. They form mag
nifcent trophies for the hall or dining
room of a large house; and when gazing
at a hundred-pound tarpon, which
is certainly rather below than above the
average weight of the fish, one finds
difficulty in believing that it has been
captured with rod and reel.-Golden
Days.

The Speed of Insects.

The rapidity with which insects travel
is quite astonishing, often exceeding the
speed of the swiftest race-horse. The
common house-fy is computed to make
six hundred strokes per second in or

feet, but this rate may be increased to
six or seven times as much. Leuwen-

How Protection Benefits" the People

How Protection "Benefits" the People
and the Government.
In order to make a general principle
luminous, let us follow a simple illus
tration. Suppose hats can be made and
sold in Europe at 81. Suppose, further,
that in order to protect the American
maker of hats tax of so cents is laid
by Congress on every hat imported. AS
soon as this is done no European hat can
be brought to the United States unless
it can be sold here for S1.50. If the price
here be above that figure the tariff is nc
obstacle to importation, since the higher
the price the greater is the profit real.
lied by the European manufacturer.
The ''hoods'' pour in with increasing
volume in spite of all that advanced
craftsmanship can do to keep them out.
A positive premium is put upon impor-
tation. Protection signally fails to pro-
tect. In this case it is evident the for
eigner pays none of the tax, since he
becomes rich by importation, and finds
here the highest market in the world.
The man who wears the imported hat
bears every ounce of the tax burden, =
Il 1t will thus appear plain that so
long as the importation of foreign hats
continues the American consumers are
paying the full amount of the tariff tax,
not only upon all those imported, but
upon the entire volume Of our own pro-
ductions also. But if Importation
stops, as it must when the domestic
price has touched a figure even shade
less than that dictated by the tariff
(S1.50), then all revenue ceases, and the
protection of the home manufacturer is
complete, since he has an absolute
monopoly of the market. But the tax
burden of the hat-wearer is almost as
great as before, and the whole of it goes
as bonus to the domestic manufacturer
and not cent of to the till of the Gov
ernment.-Prof. Edward Taylor.
