on the Lakes.

Tie President and Congress to Take q Trip
on the Lakes.
WASHINGTON. d. c., March l5.-Pri-
vate Secretary Thurber yesterday con-
firmed the rumor regarding the presi-
dents contemplated trip on the great
lakes the coming summer. The party
will start from Cleveland and go to Du-
luth, and probably take in Chicago COM
ing back. No details have been ar
ranged and the invitation has not been
definitely accepted. The invitation
from j. j. Hill and the Vessel Owners
association OF the lakes embraces not
only the president and cabinet. but is
extended to congress. The occasion is
the opening of Hills new line of lake
steamers, of which the Northwestern,
now building at Cleveland, is the queen.
Capt McDougai, Of Duluth, stated that
he had been authorized to tender to
congress the use Of 80 passenger steam
ers to the lakes if necessary to make
the tn p a success.

much rejoicing in this city at the cul-

continued so many months, with no
object seemingly but to hamper bust

BROKE IT'S BOUNDS.
The Jamestown Disaster Nearly
Repeated. Ia Idaho. d
The Dam of the Indian Creek Reservoir
Gives Way-A Number of Lives Lost
and Miles of Railroad Tracks
Are Submerged.

BOISE Cry, Idaho, March 15.-News
was received in this city last evening
that the Indian creek reservoir had
broken its rocky barrier and was sweep
ing down upon the ranches and villages,
carrying destruction and ruin in its
path. This reservoir was constructed
of solid masonry at the head of Indian
creek. and was thought to be veritable
Gibralter. The reservoir covered 500
acres of land and contained water suf-
fcient to irrig.t many thousand acres.
1t cost $50, 00D to build it.
This great enterprise was swept away
i'm day and is now mass of ruins.
The country between Bysuka and Cald-
bridge between Nampa and Bysuka is
washed out and many miles of railroad
track is submerged, which will prevent
trains from running over the Short
Line for many days. The dam broke
about noon and messengers were sent
on horse b:ck to warn settlers and urge
families t. hasten to place of safety.
The mighty wall of water came sweep
ing down indian creek, carrying on it's
DSSO" Nb1SSo, O"A AAo'
farming utensils, and submerglng
whole fans.
Soon al the lower part of Nampa
was unde: water from 5 to 70 feet deep.
Fifty HOSES at least are ruined and
many families are without shelter and
bedding. Merchants are loaning blan-
kets to destitute families and provis-
ions are being furnished to those in
need. l. is reported here that two men
were drowned, one while attempting to
save his property and another who
rushed to the formers assistance.
The cause Of the disaster was the
sudden arm of warm weather, coupled
with heavy rains, which caused the
rapid nelting Of snow in the noun
tains. This part of Idaho has had the
heaviest fall of snow the past winter
known for years, and this melting rap
idly filled the creeks and bursted the
dam. So far the Mountain Home reser-
voir is safe, but fears are entertained
that it will share the fate of its Indian
creek neighbour.

Nocturnal Creatures.

Most curious in Origin of all nocturnal
insect-hunters, however, are the leathery-
winged bats, which may be regarded,
practically speaking, as very tiny mon
keys, highly specalizd for the task of
catching nocturnal fees and midges.
Few people know how nearly they are
related to us. They belong to the self
same division of the higher mammals as
man aud the apes their skeleton answers
to ours, bone for bone and joint for Joint,
in an extraordinary manner; only the I'M
essential fact that they have very long
fingers with Il web between as an organ
Of flight prevents us from intantly and
instinctively recognizing them as remote
cousins once removed from the gorilla.
The female bat in particular is absurd
ly human. Most Of them feed off insects
alone, but few, like the famous YAM
pire bats of South America, take a mean
advantage of sleeping animals, and suck
their blood after the fashion Of mos
quitoes, as they lie defcnseless in the
forests or on the open pampas, Others,
like the flying foxes of the Malay archi-
pelago, make q frugal meal off fruits
and veg etabes, but even these are per
sistent night tliers. They hang, head
downward, from the boughs Of trees
during the hot tropical daytime, but
sally forth at night, with Millions sons
of Belial, to rob the banana patches and
invade the plantain grounds of the in
dustrious native. The bat is lemur
