Capturing Wild Geese In Kolguev.

Exactly at o'clock the advance guard
of the swimming geese came around thu
corner Of the creek. 1t was one solid phal-
anx of brent. They seemed to be by fog
the fastest swimmers for behind them, as
a considerable distance, followed n smaller
lot Of gray geese, some swimming, some
running. Then, with one accord, al these
gray geese rose-50O perhaps there were.
And now the body of the brent were OK.
actly opposite the entrance to the nets, and
about them, in half circle, were the
boats. Round and round they swan, but
refused to leave the water. The boats did.
not dare to close in for fear the geese would
break. 1t was a ticklish moment. Thu
geese would not make the land. Then n
single old beau goose stepped out and ran
up the bank. He was quickly followed
by one or two more, and then by the first
of the brent. The last bird was in, and
then we closed the rear. Not brent had
flown, not a brent had dived, not one es
capped. OF all that army every bird was
in the meta dense, black, moving mass.

Pillar at Reins,

The famous trembling pillar at Reiml
presents curious problem to architects.
The church of st. Nicaise is surrounded
with pillars constructed to prevent thu
walls from straining. AT the entrance ci
the church is IA bell tower. On one of tho
bells in this tower the phenomenon of tie
trembling pillar depends. When this bell
is rung or even touched, the top of this
pillar sways.
1t goes and returns about seven inchCi
on each side, although the base of the pill
lar is immovablc, and the stones are s.
firmly cemented that it seems like solid
piece of stone.
An authority who states that no salts
factory solution of this popularity has
been given writes: What is very singular
is that, although the four bells are abou5
the Same distance from the trembling pill
lar only one of them has any effect on it,.
The others may be rung singly or all to-
gother without moving it.
In 1875 little window was made in tie
roof of tho church opposite the pillar. a
board was placed ON top of the pillar, and
on it were put two glasses of water. Then
the bell was rung. Immediately the pillat
began to sway, and at the fifth stroke Of
the bell the two glasses We're thrown off
The ringing of this bell has no effect ON
the pillars bctwton the phenomenal on
and the tower, nor on any of the others.
But formerly it was the first pillar which
swayed, then it became immoyable, and
some years ago the one next to it became
the eccentric one.-Youth's Companion

remembered that on Aug 2, the Kenne'
bees forfeited game, to o. to Lewiston,
by failur, to have balls ready to start the
game, and that the game scheduled for
Sept. was transferred and played that

BY mutual agreement tho game OF Aug.

SCORE shows, Lewiston now owns 1t, body
and soul. 1t will also be seen that tie
result does not change the standing OF the
clubs, as the 8 to 0 forfeit game has al

Lewiston put up good game, both at
bat and in the field. A base on balls, a
triple anl two singles gave them two runs
in the first. In the third an error, fol
lowed by two singles, scored two more.
In the sixth, base on balls, an error, an
other base on balls, with hit and two
sacrifices, Melted three runs. In the
seventh, double. a base on balls and two
more doubles again brought in three men.
A triple followed by double, in the
ninth, gave them their l 18th and last run
The Kenncbecs made a solitary run in
the second, by a base on balls, sacrifice
and double. In the fifth, base on
balls, a sacrifice, and two singles scored an
other solitary, and In tho sixth, the third
and last solitary was made on first being

Kelley did what he rarely does ut first

German, our new second baseman,
showed up finely, being in the game all
the time, as his six assists and two put
outs shows.
Doherty's wild throw was little ex-
pensive. but his other work was extra
good.
Butler was in new position, right
field, and though crippled, did good work,
landing two flies and making beauti-
full assist to Connor
Buckley took tho fielding honors by
getting under four high flies, two of them
very difficult.
Pickett had but one and that was a
dandy.
