LAKE PUMPED OUT FOR ORE.

Heavy Deposits of Iron Under Seventy
Feet of Water.
Few pieces Of engineering work were
ever undertaken that exceeded the
pumping out of Lake Angelina, near
Ishpeming, Mich, where pumps have
been working for sixteen months. The
water is all gone now, but apparently
the hardest part of the work has still
to be accomplished. The lake lies near
the southern part of Ishpeming, cover
ing one hundred acres, and was seven
ty feet deep in the middle.
1t was for long time the source of
that city's water supply, until the
growth of the town about it's shores
contaminated the water. Under the
bed of the lake lie the largest iron-ore
deposits ever discovered. The ore was
discovered some ten years ago, when
diamond drill was set on the frozen
surface of the lake one winter, and
hole drilled six hundred feet down be-
low the bed of the pig-iron. Large ore
bodies were cut by the drill, and the
three mining companies owning the
ground under the lake began devising
means to secure this valuable ore.
The greater part of the lake was
owned by the Cleveland iron COM
panies. The first and second named
companies did more or less work under
the surface of the lake, but the ever
present danger of a rush of water from
above rendered it imperative that the
water be taken out. Work was begun
last spring before the snow left the
ground, when a rotary pump with ca
pacity of twenty thousand gallons per
minute was anchored in a barge in the
center of the lake, and began pumping
water into big fume elevated twenty
feet above the surface of the water.
The pump has been going day and
night, allowing for occasional break
downs, and the water has only recent
ly been drained all out.
Now, however, remains serious
question to be settled. There is bed
of mud from two to forty feet deep
over the bed of the former lake. This
mud is kept moist by underground
springs, from which the water bubbles
up. Big tubular stand-pipes, pierced
with myriads of small holes hardly
larger than needles point, are being
forged into the mud, and into these
the water filters and is pumped out.
The surface of the bed of the lake is
more treacherous than quicksand. for
any heavy object thrown on it is quick
ly engulfed. Several narrow escapes
from drowning have taken place. 1t
will take sixteen months longer to get
rid of the mud.

oLD-TIME STEAMBOAT RACING.
A Negro Sat on the Safety Valve, Holding
Down the Steam.

A Negro Sat on the Safety Valve, Holding
Down the Steam.
The famous race between the Hanni-
bal City and the Ocean Spray, which
occurred in 1859, is the subject of an
article in st. Louis paper. Prior to
this race the Ocean Spray had splendid
records. The race was from St. Louis
to Keokuk. The early part of the race
was very close, and the excitement
was intense. When nearing Bisselps
Point the Ocean Spray found the Han
nibal City passing her. The mate on
the Ocean Spray, one Davis, becoming
desperate, ordered the head of a barrel
of turpentine to be knocked in. His
men were then ordered to dip the wood
in this turpentine before putting it in
the furnace, the object being to quick
ly increase the steam pressure. The
Ocean Spray was supposed to carry
only one hundred and sixty pounds of
steam, but Davis thought that by put
ting another negro on the safety valve"
he could run the pressure up to two
hundred pounds and distance his rival
In carrying the dripping wood to the
furnace the track became saturated
with the turpentine, which caught fire
from the open furnace. The flame
quickly reached the barrel. An at
tempt was made to throw the barrel
overheard, but it exploded, and, the
burning oil being scattered all around,
the boat was soon mass of flames.
Scott Matson was captain on the
Hannibal City. He was brave and
generous man, and in this instance
these two qualities made his name
famous. Notwithstanding the immi-
nent danger he ran his boat alongside
the burning one and rescued every per-
son on board. Davis, the mate of the
burned boat, was afterward convicted
and sent to the penitentiary for such
gross violation of the rules of safety.
He was later pardoned.

The Queens Lamprey Pie,

In accordance with an ancient Gus
tom, Queen Victoria has been pre-
sented with a lamprey pie. It was an
elaborate affair, and was presented by
the mayor, Mr.. Matthews. He signi-
fed his intention of giving it, and the
queen, through the lord high steward
of Gloucester, intimated that she
would be happy to receive it. Conse-
quently the pie came, accompanied by
two silver skewers bearing the arms of
the city and the name of the MAYOR.
The only person who can cure one
OF woman is that woman herself.
The only way to get the upper hand
of a woman is to be more woman than
she is herself.
ONE may make anything out of an
old love-even new one-anything
except friendship.
THE surest way of making an un-
happy marriage is to make up ones
mind to marry happily.
THERE is only one way of being hap
Ply where the heart is concerned, and
that is to have no heart.

Sugar Cane in Madeira.

The sugar cane was introduced into
the Madeira islands in 1926, and in
1893 the annual product exceeded
four million pounds. The introduce
ton of sugar came into the West
Indies, however, destroyed the indus
try, and grape culture took the place
of the sugar cane until 1852, when the
phyllo1era nearly swept all the vines
out of existence. The sugar cane is
again being cultivated and last year
half million pounds were made The
supply will always be limited, because
the cane cannot be proftably culti-
waited at a higher elevation than one
thousand foot.
