LOVE.

o 1--we builds on the azure sea
And Love builds on the golden sand
And Love builds on the rOsc-wing'd cloud,
And sometimes Love builds on the lahd.
O II Love builds on sparkling sea,
And II Love builds on golden strand,
And II Love builds on rosy cloud
To Love- these are the solid land.
o Love will build his lily walls,
And Love his pearly root viii rear.
On cloud o. land, or mist or sea
Loves solid land IS everywhere!

Want the Law Repealed.

There is II strong inclination on the
part of western congressman to repea
the timber ulture law. and give those
who are now attempting to comply
with il the privilege of making proof
and paying the usual government
price, 81 - per acre. IT is claimed
that in the states which OF late years
have been visited 10y drouth tree cul-
ture to the full extent required 10y the
law is an impossibility. Owing to he
lack OF moisture the trees will not
grow, and this leaves the way open to
contests, and expensive litigation is
the result II Is believed that bill
can be framed that will fully protect
those who succeeded during the wet
seasons OF SS3-Si-S5 in raising the
necessary or legal number OF trees, and
AT the same time release Others who
are struggling against the elements :
from Il further annoyance and ex-
penSe, and give them title to the land
which they have earned five times
over. The adoption of II successful
irrigation system IN the arid region
would naturally encourage tree plant
ing, and the several states could also
induce farmers to cultivate trees by a.
law remitting the taxation upon lands
50 cultivated.

Utilizing Niagara Falls.

the town OF Niagara Falls, Ont, has
in course of construction n new sys-
TEN of water works. Tho work is in
teresting from the fact that grea er
part OF IT is being done near the brink
OF the Horseshoe falls. \ tunnel l25
feet long, q by : feet in size, the mouth
of which is - feet below he brink of
the preciplce, and which has now
reached a depth through solid lime
stone rock OF about 80 feet, is bein.
made to serve as II tail race from the
wheel house to the umphou-e. These
buildings will stand just beyond the
Table Rock house. The NECESSARY
water to operate the works will come
to the wheel house through II wooden
tube u by : feet IN size and about 600
feet long. A shaft is being sunk through
the rock to allow OF the discharge OF
the volume OF water coming through
the tube on to the water wheel and
into the tail race or tunnel. At the
upper end of the wooden tube will be
an open cut IL feet wide and IL feet
deep, extending about $50 feet out
ward toward the northern end of
Cedar island, where the water is deep.
Outside or inside the wooden tube will
be placed a l4-lnch pipe, the end OF
which will extend some few feet beyond
the mouth of the open cut near Cedar
island, and through this pipe vii leone
the water that will be furnished
throughout the town for general USE.
Work on the tunnel is carried on night
and day. The works are expected to
be in operation by June next.-Scien-

A Story About Edison.

Electric Age: AT Orange you can
hear numlseress stories OF Edison.
Everybody likes him. One man, who
had been for years in his employ as an
told OF visit that a
number OF capitalists, including JAY
Gould, Sidney Dillon. sam Sloan and
Cyrus Field paid to Edison at his lab
oratory one day to inspect the work
ines OF some induction experiment in
devising the scheme for telegraphing to
moving trains. Edison came out of
his workroom, where he was busy. and
shook hands with Mr. Field. At that
instant something popped into his
head apropos OF the experiment he
was at work on. lie never gives an
idea time to escape him. Without IL
word OF excuse to the four magnates
he turned on his heel and hurried into
his den again. They waited and
waited and 10y and by, tired out with
delay. wended their way down ST airs.
shortly afterwards Edison came out
and asked, where did those paupers
go?"
"Down stairs"
did they walk"
"Ies."
That's right. | don't want 'em to
wear the oil off my elevator" Then
he stood around for an hour and
swapped stories with the men in the
shop. lie Is the greatest man living
for stories, and it is n tradition among
his employees that they can tell him
the same story every day for week
and he'll never tire of it, nor in fact
show any sign OF having heard it
before.

crying, and went out of the door with
tears running down his face and still
sobbing and muttering to himself.
BOurke followed kunze, and as he
passed whispered to Forrest and
smiled. He seemed entirely uncon-
cerned. O'Sullivan followed, looking
pale and sallow, but not different
from his usual appearance. Coughlin
was the last OF the prisoners to leave,
and as he stalked ont he hall turned
and looked back into the court room
as if expecting to find some friend.
The door soon changed behind the
bailiff who brought up the rear, and
the Cronin trial was over. 1t was not
until afternoon to-day that the jury
finally came to "a verdict, and then 1t
was that Juror Culver, who had been
voting for acquittal for all the defend
ants since the jury went out, consented
to compromise. The other Jurors
were for hanging Bourke, Coughlin and
O'Sullivan, while he was for letting
them all OFF. Culver finally agreed to
n life sentence for the three. The Jury
was practically unanimous on the sub
iect OF Beggs' acquittal, and but little
time was needed to fix Kunze's term.

An Indiana Man Foolishly Matches His Bull
dog Against the African Beast

Fort WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 16.-W. II.
Stewart, a Snowman of this city, owns
a large and ferOcious gorilla, which on
several occasions has given proof Of
its enormous strength. A short time
ago Stewart received challenge from
Marion, Ind, to fight the gorilla
against the English bulldog Jack" for
$500. The challenge was promptly
accepted and the fight came off ut 3
O'Clock this morning near Van Vert,
just across the state line, in Ohio. 1t
proved to be one Of the most singular
and at the same time the fiercest and
bloodiest battle which has ever been
fought in this country.
The dog was fine thoroughbred
English bulldog, weighing forty pounds,
while the gorilla pnlll down nearly
eighty pounds. They were put into
AN inclosure IL feet square and = feet
high built of 3-inch oak strips. A large
crowd was present and betting was
spirited with the odds greatly in favor
W 'if' 'ihi' iioiii an Ilc btli IL
was to he continued until one of the
animals was killed. II was seen from
the beginning of the fight that the dog
was no match for the gorilla, as his
teeth seemed to be ot little use on the
tough hide OF the wild beast. The
battle lasted Just two minutes. The
bulldog sprang at his antagonist, but
the gorilla, quick rs lightning, caught
him IN his muscular arms, and, hold
ing him IN such II position that the
dog could do no injury to him, he
literally broke him in two. lie sank
his sharp tusks into Jack $ back until
the blood flowed in streams, bespat-
tering the Mortified spectators. The
owner of the dog threw up the sponge,
but II was too late to save his animal
for his dog WAS dead
The pen resembed "A slaughter house
The gorilla was not hurt, and his
owner had great trouble in getting
HIM back into his cage.
