PROPOSALS FOR PLANS.
The City and County now Mean
Business and Want a Bridge.

There is no doubt now that this
city will soon have a bridge across
the Kentucky river at st. Clair street,
commensurate with her present needs
and future growth. The committee
that had the matter under advise
ment made it's report to the County
Court of Claims Monday, and that
body, as the city council did likewise
last week, unanimously concurred in
the com mittee's report and ordered
that proposals for plans be advertised
for Immediately. On Tuesday Mayor
Tobin sent the advertisement to the
Engineering News, of New York, to
the effect as follows:
''The City of Frankfort, KY, pro-
poses to build new highway bridge
over the Kentucky river. Plans and
proposals are invited.
ORCHARD ToBIN, Mayor,
chairman of the Committee"
1t is said there are about 100 bridge
building firms in the United States,
and all, it is safe to say, take their
chief professional magazine and will
see the advertisement and hasten to
the city to go over the ground and
prepare their plans.
1t is not settled yet as to what kind
of a bridge will be built, some favor
ing single span steel and others a
heavy, substantial, two span iron
structure. The cost of course can
not be fixed until the plans and speci-
fications are in and selection has
been made, but it is stated that a
sum not exceeding $4,000 has been
placed as the limit which the city
and county put upon this expendi-
ture. This sum would probably not
build the single span steel bridge,
even if it could be readily put up
here, but it would doubtless be suffi-
cient to erect a handsome two span
iron structure that would meet all
the requirements of the city and
county for many years to come. The
bridge should be at least forty feet
in width to give ample room for
street cars, wagons and pedestrians
that are now crowded into the small
spaces allotted to them on the
present bridge.
In all likelihood the plans will be
ready within thirty days and before
the middle Of June the bid will have
been accepted and the work actually
underway. During the process of
erection, it is said that a pontoon
bridge of coal boats placed endwise
across the river leaving one in the
middle to swing open for the naviga-
ton of boats, can be made service
able for the people of the city. This
would be less costly and very much
superior to any other temporary ex-
pedient.

PORT TREvORTON.

On Sunday afternoon the village
aristocracy congregated at one OF
the melon patches and enjoyed
themselves in n manner that prac-
tically closed the season. The melons
were unusually small, though OF fine
flavor John d. Bogar, wife and
daughter, have been attracted to
Chicago by the great Exposition.
John is an enterprising man, and it
may be interesting to know that one
hundred and fifty barrels of flour,
manufactured Mt his Herndon mills
from Snyder county wheat, were
shippod-ffty barrels to Hong Kong,
China; fifty barrels TO Calcutta, India;
twenty-five barrels to Rio Janeiro,
Brazil and twenty-five barrels to
Beunos Ayers, Argentine. This is
about as wide range as any man s
products can have. No doubt John
went to the Fair to see and learn
the customs of his distant patrons.
We are pleased to note the amount
of attention our farmers are devot-
ing TO the cultivation of fruit. The
varieties Indigenous to our soil were
usually allowed to grow up in their
wild state but of late these are be-
ing considered in n matter-of-fact
way and are found to be much more
thrifty and profitable if properly
cultivated. For instance, an acre OF
Strawberries or raspberries has
proven itself several times over as
rcmunerative as the same area bear
ing II crop of cereals. This is not
only true of berries, but our peach
crop, now in season. is entitled to
recognition as another evidence of
the same fact. At this juncture Il
word concerning Snyder county
peaches may not he out of place. In
Chapman and Union townships
alone there are no less than fifteen
thousand peach trees, averaging two
baskets. This means an aggregate
of thirty thousand baskets. or, in
money. ten thousand dollars. An.
other feature is that these peaches
are rs fine as are grown anywhere
and even penetrate the Delaware
markets as far south as Lancaster.

AN INTELLIGENT BEETLE.

Would Como at the Sound of Its Captor's
Voice and Caress Her.
Something over a year since young
lady of my acquaintance, says writer
In Science, had an experience with a
beetle which I think showed a very
marked degree of intelligence in the
insect, and as such instances are some
what rare venture to send you an &C
count of 1t.
This beetle was specimen of Pe1id-
nota punctata Linn, which was given
to her in September. At first she kept
1t In small box, feeding it with grass,
leaves and small pieces of fruits, such
as peaches, pears, etc. Occasionally
she would give it drop of water to
sip. 1t would sometimes bite a little
out of a leaf, would eat the fruits and
would take water eagerly.
From the first she would take the in
sect in her fingers several times O day
and stroke or caress it, also putting it
to her lips and talking to it all the
while she handled it. When she put it
on her lips it would brush its antennm
over them with a gentle, caressing mo-
ton.
When she left her room she would
oAAuO WIG DuSBIo LIS DOA. One
day about two weeks after she re-
ceived it she was called out suddenly
and neglected this precaution. She
was absent a considerable length of
time, and when she returned the in
sect was not in its box or anywhere to
be seen. Fearing that she might in
jure 1t she stood still and called:
"Buggiel buggiel' when 1t came crawl
Ing from its retreat toward her.
After this she would frequently leave
1t free in the room when she went out,
and when she returned, If the insect
was not in sight, she would call it and
1t would crawl or fly to. her. As this
was continued it would more and more
frequently fly to her instead of crawl
ing, until at last 1t flew nearly
every time 1t was called. When it
came in this way she would put 1t to
her lips or to her nose, and the insect
would appear to be pleased, moving it's
antenne gently over herLips or taking
the end of her nose between them and
touching 1t with patting motion. -
She kept it in her room in this way,
at the hotel where she was spending
the summer, until about the list of No
vember. She then returned to her

The first touch of magic given the night
setting Of the great scene, was fringe of
incandescent lights which surmounted the
columns OF the peristyle running from
Music hall to the Casino. This was fol-
lowed a moment later by strips of light
which sprang to life on all parts of Adj
ministration building The entire struc-
ture was gilded with seams of light run
ming around the top of the pavilious and
to the dome. The effect was one of sur
passing beauty and was greeted with great
applause. Much disappointment however
was felt later when it was made
known that the piece de resistance of the
evenings display, the Macmonies fountain,
would not be Illuminated Its two COM
panions were dark also, an undiscovered
break in the wires causing a postpone
lnent of the display
Inside the Administration building the
scene was one of dazzling splendor, the
structure from the rotunda to the peak Of
the splendid dome being dream OF gilt
tering loneliness. Eight bronze columns
from each of which branched 90 lights,
gave forth food of splendor from the
ground floor. A row of lights surlnounted
the gallery two stories above, and before
the effect of this display could be lost,
similar circle at the base of the great dome
caught the spirits of the brilliant scene
and sent the whole against the magnifi-
Gently decorated dome with an effect never
before witnessed.
The ManaEers' Little Surprise.
The managers sprang surprise on the
great audience For as the President
touched the key which was to start the
machinery going everything about seemed
to have had life put into it. The audi
ence burst into a thunderous shout, the
orchestra pealed forth the strains Of the
Hallelu jah chorus, the wheels Of the great
Allis engine in Machinery Hall commenced
to revolve, the electric fountains in the
lagoon threw their torrents toward the
sky, a flood of water gushed forth from
the McMonnies fountain, and rolled back
again into the basin, the thunder of ar
tillery came from the vessels on the lake,
the chimes i'll Manufacturers Hall and on
the German Building rang out a merry
peal, and overhead the flags at the tops of
poles in front Of the platform fell apart
and revealed two gilded models of the
ships in which Columbus first sailed to
American shores
At the same moment hundreds of flags
of all nations and all colors were unfurled
within sight of the platform. The largest

graceful folds from the top Of the centre

Manufacturers Building was gorgeous in
red gonfalons, while the Agricultural
Building was dressed in ensigns of orange
and white.
1t was a wonderful scene Of transforma-
ton, and amid it all cannon continued to
thunder, and the crowd to cheer. 1t was
fully ten minutes before the demonstration
