The plant on Mr.. Kelley's grove on
Crystal Lake is the most complete one in

be saved in using the Lawson System"
First, it requires but one man to run
the pump and one to handle the twelve
/sprinklers, and onecord of wood per day,
costing So. With this force and expense
900 trees can be watered per day, giving
to each tree twelve gallons OF water. At
night the pump can be stopped as you
have II, 500 gallons of water in the sup
ply tank, which is the overplus of the
days run, as the twelve sprinklers can
not use all the water that the pump
throws. Therefore while irrigating dur
ing the day we fill the tank, which fur
nishes water sufficient to run the sprink-

most entirely without corn of their own

suffered from freshets, and others remote

many sections it sprouted badly. Less for

Farm work is farther advanced than 1t has
been for years at this season.

The city authorities of Rovigno on the

which fragments were brought up from

declared that he had seen walls and
streets below the water
The city authorities recently decided
to investigate. They sent down diver
who, at the depth of eighty-five feet,
found himself surrounded at the bottom
of the sea by ruined walls. He SAYS he
knows they were the work of man. He
is builder by trade, and he recognized
the layers of mortar
Continuing his explorations he traced
the line of walls, and was able to distin.
guish how the streets were laid out. He

seaweed and incrustations He traced
the masonry for a distance of 100 feet,
where he had to stop, as his diving cord
did not permit him to go farther. He
had proved beyond doubt that he had
found the ruins Of a once inhabited
town which, through some catastrophe,
had been sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Some people think that they identify
this lost town with the island mentioned
by Pliny the Elder under the name of
Cissa near Istria. This island cannot be
found now, and it is thought that the
submerged town may have been settle

The Brattleboro correspondent of
the Springfield Republican says:
1.-The friends of Lawyer j. L. Martin
express considerable surprise at the ac-
tion of the governor in failing to recog-
nize the work of the ex-taX commissioner
in formulating the new tax law, which
was practically adopted by the Legisla
ture, and which fact they say should have
insured Mr.. Martins reappointment."
Too bad Just as like as not Gov.
Page has found out that there are
capable men outside of Brattleboro,
and that among them are many who
are not everlastingly seeking office.
But Brattleboro must not be cast
down over this outrage by that horrid
governor, but quietly wait in con-
scious pride, knowing that two years
hence her otiice-seeking cup will be
filled to the brim. Then will Levi
be Governor, Martin 90 to Congress,
