A Hunter Shot mt for "A Seal.

One day last week Chas, Wolf, Of
BATH, was down the Kennebec in his
float after ducks or shclldrake, and.
having spied one Of the latter birds in
the water near Lees island. started for
a shot. lie had scullcd almost within
shot, and was anticipating securing the
game when pingl came a rifle bullet
and struck the ice cakes OH the bow of
the lual. the ice being used TO deceive
the birds. Had MIR. Wolf had a com
panion with him in the bow, the bullet
would have struck his gun barrel as ii
lay over the front of the float. The
hunter was somewhat disturbed by
the shot, which he presumed was, Of
course, accidental. but continued soul.
ling toward the shclldrake. In a min
ping. came a second shot, this time d.
rectly over his head, and Wolf, glanc-
ing in the direction of the shot, discov.
cred a man with a rifle on the Phips-
burg shore. The riileman was shoot
ing purposely at the float.
Immediately Wolf stood up in his
boat and waved his hand at the shoot.
er, at the same time. of course,
frightening the shelldrake and losing
the bird. The man on shore, who halls
from Parker's head, was visiting
friends in Phipsburg, and had brought
his rifle along with which TO shoot
seals. Seeing VOLTS float, which,
covered with ice, looked like an ice
foe. and, noticing Wolf lying on
the stern, he inferred that the
sportsman was a seal taking a
sail on the ice and so b.azed away.
When, however, Wolf stood up the
rifleman discovered his mistake, and
feared that he had wounded his hu-
man game. Running TO the shore, he
jumped into a boat and rowed out to
the float, and was greatly ejoiced TO
find his supposed victim uninjured,
but naturally annoyed to lose his bird.

MIN and Lunary.

The public analystof Halifax, York.

cribed TO the use Of weak milk. In
The Provincial Medical Journal, under
the title Of THE Milk Supply and Lu.
Macy" he draws attention To some sta
iistics Of admissions to lunatic estab-
lishments in Scotland. While the
average monthly number of admis-
sions for the eight years is 1859, in
the months Of May, June and July
the number is CPS above the average,
and 4G2 below it for the months OF DC

uary. Moreover, the rise and fall are
gradual; the number going upin Feb
ruary, March and April, and down in
July, August and September. Such
variations, Mr.. Ackroyd believes, have
been correlated with q number Of
other phenomena. and he desires TO
add one more to the list, viz, the sea
sonal variation in the quality Of milk,
He has been at the pains to plot q
curve for the years 1886, based on
over 33, 900 samples Of milk analysed
for the Aylesbury Dairy company, and

show that there is a curious CORE.

That Crotchety Meter.

A gas meter is to my notion a thing
of consent. would like 10 have some
one convince me that it in any way
indicates the amount of gas burned,
as a bushel or a pound represents
something that we a prove up. The
gas meter will register air blown into
II as well as gas that passes through it.
Would il not be q more rational way
TO assess gas bills as the water depart
ment does-on the basis of the mum
Der Of rooms in a housel Any one
who will make the experiment will
find that If every burner in the house
is lit and turned full head on every
night fora month that the bill for that
month will he no larger than usual.
The gas that is forced through tho
meter, If not burned, will leak away
anyhow. That is the explanation Of
gas bills rendered for months when a
house is closed up and no gas burned.
Some safeguard against waste is 10

A Chemical Ballet.

At a banquet which was given at
the conclusion Of the German con-
gress Of naturalists and physicians al
Cologne, DR.. Hoffman alluded TO the
difficulty experienced by students in
understanding the constitution Of or
gapic compounds, and suggested an
original method OF fixing these in
their minds. The audience was then
treated toa ballet in which the dancers
were dressed In different colon, 10
represent the various atoms. At his
command these colored female atoms
grouped themselves in various fash
ions TO show the chemical constitution
Of particular compounds and their re-
actions. The composition OF benzole,
and the formation of aniline and its
derivatives, were particularly applaud
ed. The ballet wound up by q repre-
sentation Of the formula for roburite

WHY WAS 1T OMITTEO2

In the report of the council proceed
ings of last Monday, as published in
the Express, the official organ for the
city, the resolution introduced by
Alderman Bolton, inviting the repu6-
licans of Texas to hold their state
convention in San Antonio, was omit
ted. The question is asked why
should this matter be treated so light
ly?: The HOgg politicians are not
going to let San Antonio have the
democratic convention if it can be
prevented. The getting of the dem
ocratic state convention is an uncer-
tainty, but the LIGHT is Informed re-
Jiably, that we can make sure of the
republican convention, if we will
make an effort to do 50. Let us oct

A BIG TRADE
BETWEEN MP. COLLINS AND THE
ODD FELLOW LODGE.

A large number of the membership
of San Antonio Lodge No. II of Odd
Fellows attended the special business
meeting last night, which was called
for the purpose of considering various
propositions made to the Lodge for the
purpose of purchasing or trading of
part of the Houston street property.
Several cash propositions were made
ranging from $500 to $500 front foot.
Three propositions were made by the
Collins Manufacturing company, one
for cash, one for part cash and part
exchange, and the third for an entire
exchange of properties. After mature
deliberation the exchange PROPOSE
ton was agreed upon, and adopted
by an almost unanimous vote. The
trade is considered a very satisfactory
one to both parties, and a valuable
one especially to the Lodge property.
Business men as we'll as good posted
real estate men claim that by the eX-
change made the lodge property
has been increased in value from
twenty to thirty thousand dollars.
In this deal the lodge sells
Mr.. Collins, retaining thirty-three
feet next to the building, and re-
ceived from Mr.. Collins double the
amount of property in rear or north
side OF the building, fronting on st.
Marys street. Mr.. Collins also do
mates free ten-foOt alley on the
north side, and additional rental and
other concessions worth not less than
ten thousand dollars to the lodge.
By this trade much veXed ques
ton between the two adjoining prop |
erty owners has been settled and |
both of them largely benefited, the
lodge having by large majority, all |
things considered, much the best of
the bargain.
Mr.. Collins will shortly commence |
the erection of a handsome two or
three story building on the fifty feet
next to the river, and it is thought it
will be but a short time before the
lodge will also build a two or three
story addition on the thirty-three
feet adjoining the building, as they
have already been offered a large rent
al for the property.

LAKE VIEW AVENUE.

The city council has passed the Or
| dinance cOndemning the necessary
property to widen HdaIgo street to
an eighty-fOot avenue, to be hereafter
! known as Lake View avenue, there
by insuring the opening aud improve
ment of one of the finest drives in the
state. Upon entering the Lake
View addition, the avenue continues
through that beautiful suburb and
connects with an avenue through
West End, making delightful drive.
West End is at present the
popular resort for all who drive
and its beautiful lake, clear artesian
wells, pleasant driveways makes it
splendid resort. Lake View and
West End will make strong pull
for the star of empire whose usual
course is westward. BY the opening
of fine avenues, and the building of
rapid transit routes, our city will add
millions to it's taxable values and
give expansion to our growing pOpu-
latiOn. Our city government can
make no better estment than
in faVOring and promoting the
enterprise Of capitalists who have dis
covered the great future San Antonio
is now beginning to realize. Our citi-
Zens interested in property along the
routes of these avenues and raDid
transit routes should aid in the most
liberal way their promotion The in
crease in value of real estate will more
than amply repay for all they NAV
donate. There need be no alarm

COM MON SENSE.
a FEW TIMELY SUGGESTIONS AND
POINTERS.

A FEW TIMELY SUGGESTIONS AND
POINTERS.
Our old mOssbacks are beginning
to say their prayers.
Our Old city is beginning to shake
the dust of ages from its shoes.
All efforts to keep down the boom
will prove unavailing few months
hence.
Our citizens have forgotten politics
and religion, and think only of corner
lOCs.
The prospect of the city taking
charge of the San Pedro Park and
making it what it should be is gener-
ally endorsed by the people.
When it becomes necessary to send
a delegation of our city council abroad,
some experienced traveller should be
sent along as manager OF the eXcur-
sion.
Our city council should get move
on herself. The Fair will be held
again this fall and rapid transit is one
of the requisites. How about the
CrOsstown franchise?
A failure to secure the Democratic
state convention may be a disappOint-
ment to few of our citizens, but it
will be lasting cause of regret to the
unterritied throughout the state.
A proposition to build cable street
car lines and utilize the water power
of our river as a propeling power, is
scheme, worthy of the times.
We need manufacturing pOpula-
ton to build, up our big city limits.
{ VI -,
money in real estate, had better pool
their Issues on this question.
A growing city should have no pru-
dish enclosures, or cast iron gates. |
Let her grow, let everything be
thrown wide open There will be
time enough to fence it in and roof it !
over and polish it up, when it has
ceased to spread.
