an employe of the Southern railroad, and

was impossible to extinguish the flames

clothing off his body.

A MINIATURE SEA.
An Artificial Lake with Waves Like the
Ocean.

An Artificial Lake with Waves Like the
Ocean.
Out in southwestern Utah there is an
irrigating reservoir covering so large
an area in the open sandy desert that
the wind has sweep sufficient to raise
waves five or six feet high. About
eight miles of the border of this reser-
voir is an artificial bank, and, unless a
method of keeping the waves off this
bank were adopted the owners of the
property would some day find that
most of the stored water had escaped
through "A crevasse.
To provide the necessary protection
an inexpensive breaxwater was con-
structed, which was recently described
by w. p. Hardesty in an article on the
Swan Lake works, of which the reser-
voir is a part. The inside slope of the
banks is one foot risesin horizontal
distance of five, feet. and the face is
protected by cobble stone in some
places and by willows in others, the
latter giving the best results. They
were obtained early in the spring and
fallS when they will sprout. A square
trench is made in the bank down to
the high-water mark, and the butts of
the willows laid in it. Dirt is then
thrown over the butts and rocks laid
over the projecting ends. This has
been found to make fair temporary
protection, ana the cuttings begin to
grow immediately, reaching height
OF or 8 feet during the first year.
This protects the bank from ordinary
waves, but to keep the unusually high
ones from it, which are pretty sure to
cause damage, floating breakwater
is employed. This was constructed
by first driving line of piles into the
reservoir about Is feet from the toe of
the bank. They were driven from 20
to 25 feet apart, and row of cedar logs
about twelve inches in diameter was
strung along on top of the water be-
tween them. The ends of the logs are
fastened together with chains. and
the logs are fastened to the piles in
such way that they rise and fall
with the waves
This boom has been found to break
the force of the waves quite effectual-
ly. The fastenings TO the piles are
sometimes broken loose in storms, and
to protect the bank in such cases a
simple plan has been adopted. A
wire about the size of u telegraph wire
is strung at intervals from the piles to
the bank. A loop or rider of wire is
then passed over the first line and
fastened firmly to one of the logs in
the boom. In case the log breaks
loose 1t is guided by the wires straight
to the shore and still offers some pro-
lection to the bank. : Philadelphia

rude to stay away any longer, she is so

and then inquired, point blank: Why

response to my look of disapproval-
Mrs. Bayne is an excellent woman,
''but it will not be for the pleasure Of

''Mrs. George Smith inquired what
wages Tom is getting now, and did
not tell her. l laughed and said that
he hadn't authorized me to inform peo-
pie. l know she was offended, and Of
course she will conclude that his salary
is less than it actually is"
Anything more?" l queried, as
Dorinda paused and fished somewhat
'savagely from the basket fresh
needle.
She gave rueful little laugh.

til l was obliged either TO lie about it

have the pleasure of passing Judgment
upon my taste and skill.
Now, as l do not voluntarily pro-
claim myself my own milliner, what
right, pray, has anyone to compel me to
do so? Dora is an old friend, and nice
girl, but do not enjoy her society be-
cause she asks SO many questions that
are not warranted by old friendship.
"Why, o why, will people be in
quisitive? Why can't they see that it
must make others afraid OF them?
There's one place where l love to
go, and that is Mrs. Spaldings. She is

ing questions. She makes one entirely

Mt ease, and draws out the best that is
scious, too, that she will not make dis
agreeable remarks about you after you
have gone. All! think what a place
this world would be if it were made up
OF Mrs. Spaldings," Dorinda rapturous-
ly concluded, then relapsed into
mournful, meditative silence.
AS l prepared one of her favorite
dishes for tea, hoping 1t might have a
slightly soothing effect, / pondered
over the class of offenses bewailed by
my young friend, and reflected that if
the attention of those who thus trans
gress the laws of politeness were called
to this matter, some might thereby be
led to take heed unto their ways, for it
cannot be supposed that any right
minded person wishes to make her
friends afraid of her, or desires to be
numbered among them, and hold q
place upon their visiting lists simply
through sufferance.
But do you not perceive, beloved
questioncrs, that as regards certain Of
your acquaintance, presumably, too,
those whose friendship you most prize,
these things will result from your
thoughtless, possibly politely intcn-
toned inquisitiveness, as surely as
from the impertinent curiosity of Mrs.
A. or the mischief making of Mrs. b..
whose failings you deplore and whose
society you avoid?
Doubtless to persons of a certain
mental cast your interrogations are
agreeable, but Dorinda and many an
other are not of these, and il it be not
clearly manifest to you to which class
an individual belongs, then, beseech
you, steer your conversational bark
clear Of all personal questions that are
open to doubt on the score of accepta-
bility.
Let this rule, dear inquiring friends,
lay, from henceforth, its restraining
hand upon your lips, and many a sensi-
tive soul shall bless instead of fear you.
