FINE WEATHER INDICATED.
Yet Melbourne Saws the Chancas are
Nine To One for Ram Today.

Ralnmaker Melbourne felt pretty well
satisfied with his days work Yesterday.
The previous day owing to the forty mile
an hour wind rallied little or nothing.
He had made such progress in his work
last night, however, that he expressed
the belief that the chances were about
nine To one that the rain would be
brought about by this evening. He con-
fessed that he was not then IN n position
to absolutely assert that the rain would
come todoy but he would be able to do SO
after t)nIght's work. The rain was sure
to come though, he said, and if his efforts
failed TO produce it by Sunday night they
would surely be crowned with success by
Monday morning.
If the rain comes today Mr.. Ravens
craft, the signal service observer. will re-
gard il as an extraordinary exhibition of
Melbourne's powers AT 6 O'Clock last
evening it was generally clear throughout
the entire west aud northwest. There
we're very few clouds apparent anywhere.
At Baker City, Ore, the barometer had
dropped Il mere trile but at every other
point without exception it made a normal
showing. Very little wind prevails any
where. The only Indication of a change
was the very hot weather at Baker City.
The thermometer there registered 90 in
the shade Yesterday aud this region is apt
to feel the warm wave today. Taking

No pen can adequately describe the
appearance of the Kimberley mine. 1t is
the largest hole made by man, and in the
shortest space of time, for the incentive
to work was there-the diamond. A
spectator standing on the edge looks
down and sees men Mt work looking like
ants in size, and during the blasting
hours he can in perfect safety witness
the explosion of thousands of pounds of
dynamite and note the rending of masses
of blue and rock, which would fall far
below him.
AS an honor to the late "Chinese Cor
don" when he visited the mines, the
writer saw the Kimberley mine illumin-
ated at night with thousands Of impro-
vised lamps, assisted with colored fires
and displays of fireworks. The weird
effect produced was grand, for the eye
could not properly measure distance at
night, and the twinkling lamps but
served to heighten the effect. -Engineer-
ing Magazine.

Many stories told of the crafty fox are
doubtless incidents Of the imagination
But a recent writer tells an anecdote
which. though taxing belief, he says is
vouched for by an eye witness of the
affair. Some fishermen on the west coast
of Ireland were in the habit Of going to
q small island, a few hundred yards
from the mainland, in quest of bait
The island was inhabited by large
numbers of rabbits, and could be reached
at low tide by wading, the water there
being only a few inches deep. One
morning they went in their boat quite
early, it being high tide, and on landing
saw a dead fox lying on the beach The
fur of the animal was all bedraggled,
and he seemed to have been drowned.
One of the men, remarking that his skin
was worth something, pitched him into
the boat. Procuring their bait they re-
turned to the mainland, and the mar
who had possessed himself of the fox
seized him by the tail and flung him on
shore.
As oon as the animal struck the beach
he picked himself up with considerable
agility for a lead fox and shot off like a
fash up among the cliffs, while the men
stood staring at each other in mute as
Constituent. The men concluded that
he had crossed over to the island during
the night, when the tide was low, in
search of rabbits, and finding in the
morning that he was cut off from the
mainland counterfeited death, with the
expectation of thereby procuring a pass
age to the shore in q boat, an expecta-
ton which was fully realized.-Boston
Courier.

Mary Driscoll, a two ycar-old Ha 'erhin
Mass child. while playing, crawled into
a large trunk, and the lid falling she
was kept a prisoner until discovered, a
few hours later, by her parents. She
was unconscious wne removed. After
missing her a search was begun, and
though they could plainly hear her voice
they were unable to locate it The floor
was torn up and the closets ransacked,
and every other conceivable spot about
the house, except the innocent looking
trunk, was examined. AT last somebody
moved the trunk to n side, and MOTTO
ing it was rather heavy, considering it
was empty, raised the lid, and there was

Raising water in London Docks.

In lieu of mourning the immense ex-
pense of excavating the London docks to
accommodate the increased size given to
modern ships, large pumping engines
have now been set up, and the water in
the docks is raised by this means. Some
idea Of the demands upon these engines
can be had from the size of the docks,
n of which has IN area of nearly ten
acres, the pumps which raise the water
having a capacity of 6s5 tons per minute
and raising the water level five feet il
one a half hours.
Centrifugal pumps of superb work
manship are employed, driven direct by
compound tandem engines, and the power
of these pumps is evident from the fact
that the inlet ~orifices to the main pumps
are fifty-four inches in diameter, and,
when worked together, the three pumps
have a capacity to raise 81, 600, 900 gal
Ions of water in five hours, against an
average head Of ten feet. The pumps
are arranged to be worked separately
and Independently or together, as de-
sired, and the engines are supplied with
