surface. 1t starts from the top Of a
big oak and ends in the lake. The
bather drags the toboggan up flight
of stairs behind, launches it, goes
down like a rocket, and slides over
the water until the momentum is
lost and the slender affair sinks be-
meath the bather's weight. 1t is an
exciting sport. To drop over the
curve in the slide is like straight
away fall through midair 1t takes
the breath and is apt to take ones
nerve. But the subsequent slide over
the water with the white spray flying
before is delicious.
The bathing is the popular daily
amusement of course. The costumes
worn in the water are not abbreviat-
ed on the lines SO conspicuous at the
sea shore. They are modest in cut
and in material and finish, and it re-
uuires a high order Of female beauty
or manly dignity to survive one. 1t
is sight for the gods to weep over
to see a passe Orleans belle arrayed in
one. You have heard of the Colos-
scum or Of the AcropoliS? Well, as
rule they are not in 1T!
This year the lake season has been
very short and Improbable. 1t has
been too cold. The people at Arnold's

and it places GoOdsell Observatory
among the best-equipped observato-
ries in the country.
In size the telescope ranks sixth
and in power fifth in the country.
The clear aperture of it's object glass
is 1862 inches, it's focal length is %
feet, and it's working powers range
between 1876 and 1000 diameters.
Under power of 1000 it gives beau
tiful images and easily reaches and
separates surprisingly close double
stars.
The computations for the objective
were made on new plan by DR.. s. q.
Hastings, of Yale, and crown glass
from Paris, and flint glass from Ger
many, were used. The telescope is
modelled after the great Lick tele-
scope, but has several Improvements.
The driving clock is provided with an
electrical attachment to control the
movement at the will of the observer.
The right ascension clock, electric
lamps, glasses and other cOnyeniences
for setting the telescope are all that
could be desired, and the arrange
ments for slow motion are the best
yet devised. The total weight of the
instrument, including the pedestal, is
1900 pounds.
The new universal spectroscope, de-
vised by Mr. Brashear, is arranged to
be attached to the telescope for the
study of the physical characteristics
of the celestial bodies, or equally we'll
for use in the physical laboratory. 1t
is provided with an electric lamp at

An old time darby walked into
Kinsleys the other day and sat down
to table. A colored waiter APP
preached him and said, Boss, you
KANT git no dinnah in dis place."

ed the old fellow. "Wha' fou is de

"Kase," was the reply, eve doan

"Yas, but hold on, honey" broke in

the waiter who was now getting lit

he continued, you'd better be goin'

The old fellow got up and, without

he went down the steps he was heard
talking to himself afther this fashion:

leads him to believe the famous Spirit
Lake massacre is being re-enacted
with some new features and modern
improvements in the way of noise
The crash of dishes and the cracking
OF furniture mingle with the most
blood-curdling yells.
But this is nothing. It goes on all
the time. 1t is merely the playful
ness Of the brainy dining-room walters
who have been imported from the
college halls at Mount Vernon. These
model college youths seem to hold a
mortgage on the place and to be ex-
tinguishing it by running it to suit
themselves. Aside from these con-
spicuOus members of the hotel staff
there is only one other visible
nuisance. That is the survivor of the
Spirit Lake massacre. To know that
there had been massacre might give
the place some shadow of romance,
but to be inflicted with a survivor of
it is too much, particularly when the
survivor has written a prOSy book in
gorgeous covers and bad English.
Aside from this life flows smoothly at
West Okoboji.
Here and there upon it's shores the
most slightly spots have been pre-
empted by the cottagers, who in little
communities have enScOnced them
selves among the trees and by the peb-
bly, beaches. They stick together in
groups which take the names of the
localities whence the tenants come.
Thus one is Fort Dodge Point, an
other Des Moines Beach, and off
there on the far arm of the lake is
Omaha. The residents of this latter
point have put up water toboggan

supplied with rollers on the inside

hanging on the wall in a dark corner.
That's my husbands" said the

A MAN-o'-WAR's MAsTs.
Flash Lights and Great Guns as High as
the Lighthouses Light

Flash Lights and Great Guns as High as
the Lighthouses Light.
In early naval warfare, says the
Scientific American, the mast of a
vessel was an important aggressive
point, and from the masthead were
thrown javelins, arrows, hot-shot,
Greek fire, and other destructive mis-
siles. The masthead was then, as
now, the chief lookout. and, as all
naval battles were at short range,
equivalent almost to actual contact Of
the vessels, the mast was perhaps
even more important than the main
armament of the vessel.
The accompanying engraving rep
resents the mast Of a modern war
ship, with its lookout and it's turret.
The mast is made hollow and of suffi-
cient diameter to allow the men to
ascend. The lower tower is provided
with search light, which receives it's
current through wires extending up
the hollow mast. The turret is armed
upon one side with a single piece of
ordnance and upon the other with a
Gatling gun. Above all is located
the lookout or watch tower. With
such an auxiliary as this warship
can seriously harass an enemy, be-
sides doing a great deal of actual
damage. BY the aid of strong cleo
trio light aggressive movements may
be carried on at night. Not only can
these aggressive movements be car
ried forward, but by means Of the
light the entire vicinity of the vessel
may be searched for torpedoes and

Population of Germany.

The statistics of the German CEN
sus taken recently have been pub
lished, and Germany regards the out
come with general satisfaction, for,
with the exception of Russia, 1T has
grown faster than any other European
country. The total population last
December was 40, 420,8 as against
$685., 7O4 in 1885, showing gain of
1855, 096 in the five years, and the
largest gain in any five years since
the establishment of the empire. In
1871 the population was Al, O85, 1872.
In the next five years it increased
1,668,56 From 1875 to 1880 the
gain was 2,506, 701, but from 1880
to 1885 it decreased 1921, 643-a
period during which emigration to
this country was very heavy. AS to
the character of the increase, the
same rule holds good AS in this cOun-
try. The bulk Of it was in the cities.
Ten per cent. Of it was in Berlin and
more than one-half Of it in the ten
largest cities of the empire. AS
compared with other European cOun-
tries, Germany in the last ten years
has grown about 1920, 900, Austria
less than 100000, the British
Islands, it is estimated, about $780,,
900, Italy about 2, $50, 900, and France
less than LOCO, probably much
less. The huge Empire of Russia
shows a gain during the same period
of Is, 900, 900, which can be accounted
for in part by the comparatively
small outflow of emigrants. Thus,
with the exception of the latter
country, Germany heads the list.
