An Astonishing Discovery.

An astonishing discovery in regard to
the production of electricity is an
nounced, which, If genuine, will do
away with the necessity of burning coal.
DR.. Borchers, of Driesburg, Germany
says that he has found that electricity
is generated by the conversion of hydro
carbon and carbonic oxide into car
bonic acid, and as this is the same
thing that takes place in burning coal
he accomplishes the same end by chem
ical means by what he calls the wet
process. While a steam engine utilizes
about u per cent. of the theoretical
energy and a gas engine 20 per cent.
DR.. Borchers claims that his new proc
ess gives no less than SO per cent.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
CLEVELAND SILVER SPOONS.

The Presidents Grandfather Made Them
in a Connecticut Village.
William Cleveland, grandfather OF
President Grover Cleveland, was a sill
versmith in drowsy Norwich town,
among the hills of eastern C0nnecu-
cut, and deacon for more than quar-
ter of a century in the village Congre-
gational church, says the New York
Herald. The house in which he spent
his long life is still standing. His
shop. a weather beaten rookery, was
torn down several years ago. The
deacon" as he is always addressed,
was an expert workman, and his goods
were always in demand. As a eonse-
quence. the country families about
Norwich Town have Cleveland silver
spoons in abundance, coming down by
inheritance from old-time ancestors.
A Norwich Town woman's legacy OF
two of the spOons-eXquisitely wrought
specimens of painstaking work-was
recently transmitted to Ruth Cleve-
land. and in return a personal letter OF
thanks was received from her distin-
guished father. President CleVeland's s
great grandfather. Aaron Cleveland,
was a business man and politician in
Norwich Town in pOst-revolutionary
days. He was active in speaking and
writing, and took the lead in opposing
slavery ii Connecticut, introducing
the first bill for its abolition, and being
dissatisfied with the gradual emanci-
patton measure adopted in 1890. Later
he became a Congregational minister.
The old village records of Lebanon,
twelve miles north of Norwich town,
declare that Mrs. Cleveland Is d great
granddaughter of Mrs. Mary Rogers, a
Lebanon woman.

NnrtnCrn Lakes.

Little ShtlsWay lake is stated to have
a fat bottom, with a depth varying from
5S to - feesl, measured from the mean
high water mark, says Vancouver Her
aid. The deepest water found ~in the
Great ShusVIay was 555 feet, about six
miles north ward from Cinnemousin
Mario ws, in Seymour Arm, though
the mole lake is notably deep.
Ad ans lake, however, exceeds either
of the Shusways, as its average depth
for twenty-nine miles is upward of l.
100 feet, and at one point a depth Of
1900 feet was recorded. In the north
west corner of this lake, at a depth of
4 ,11S feet, the purpose of the scientific
explorers was defeated by the presence
of mysterious submarine currents,
which played with the sounding line
like some giant fish and prevented any
measurement being taken It is a com
plets mystery how the currents could
have been created at this depth, and
scientific curiosity will, no doubt, i'm
pei either public or private enterprise
to send a second expedition to the scene
this summer to endeavcr TO solve the
riddle. AS the height of the surface of
this lake is 1880 feet above the sea
level, it's present bed is, therefore, only
100 feet above the sea, although 200
miles distant from the nearest part of
the ocean. DR.. Dawson and his asso-
ciates believe that the beds of some Of
the mountain lakes in the region are
many feet lower than the sea level.

KEIR HARDIE AS A CRITIC.
Visits the Bowery and Rides over the

Keir Hardy recently visited the Bow
cry says New York Sun. He was dis
appointed at finding it a pretty safe
thOroughfaTe and not at all the BOwery
1t was when William NJ. Thackeray, the
novelist, described the "Bowery Boy"
Mr.. Hardie was seen by Sun reporter
at the Broadway Central hotel after he
had returned from Brooklyn and had
been put under fire by Lucien Sanlal,
Daniel de Leon, and several other So
cialists. He had discarded the mining
cap for a straw hat. The only thlng
that pleased him was the Brooklyn
bridge, which he thought a wonderful
piece of engineering. He was very un-
fayorably impressed with the archltec-
ture of~the business part of New York
Il went along Broadway" he said, and
was surprised at the utter lack OF uni
formity in the buildings. You would
find q ten-story building cheek by lowl

as the architecture is concerned, | could

up in the one building. The result is
very incOngruous. l think the New
York merchant princes, with the
money they spent on these buildings,
might have had had results pleasanter
to an artistic taste. In London the
buildings in the business streets are
more uniform, and, in my opinion, in
finiteiy better from an artistic point of
view.
What do you think of the con-
dition of the streets?"
Il think the condition very bad If
it was worse az any time it must have
been deplorable. Such a condition of
affairs would not be tolerated in any
fOurta-ratesprovincial town in England.
In London there is system by which
boys with scoops at every block or two
take away every bit of dirt or dust as
it appears to stationary covered dust

claims to be of any Importance in

He Invented the Ghost.

J. Henniker Heaton tells an interest
ing sequel to the most famous Austria
Ian ghost story, which/came to his
knowledge as one Of the proprietors Of
the leading New South Wales weekly,
the Town and Country Journal. One
of the most famous murder cases in
Australia was discovered by the ghost
OF the murdered man sitting on a rail
orsaa u dam australian for horsepon0),
into which his body had been thrown.
Mum berless people saw it, and the
crime was brought home. Years after.
a dying man making his confession,
said he invented the ghost. He wit
messed the crime, but was threatened
with death if he divulged it, as he
wished TO, and the only way he saw out
of the impasse was to affect TO see the
ghost where the body would be found.
AS soon as he started the story, such
is the power of nervousness, that num-
erous other people began TO see it, until
its fame reached such dimensions that
a search was made and the body found
and the murderers brought to justice
