Dangerous Lakes.

Little Shuswap is stated to have
fat bottom, with depth varying from
fifty eight to seventy five feet, meas.
pred from the mean high water mark.
The deepest water found in the Great
Shuswap, says the Vancouver World,
was five hundred and fifty five feet,
about six. miles northward from Gin
nemousun narrows, in Seymour arm,
though the whole lake is notably deep.
Adams lake, however, exceeds either
OF the Shuswaps, as it's average depth
for twenty miles isupward of one thou
sand one hundred feet, and at one
point depth of one thousand nine
hundred feet was recorded. In the
northwest corner of this lake, at a
depth Of one thousand one hundred
and eighteen feet, the purposes of the
scientific explorers was defeated by the
presence of mysterious submarine cur
rents, which played with the sounding
line like some giant fish and prevented
any measurement being taken. 1t is q
complete mystery how the currents
could have been created at this depth,
and scientific curiosity will, no doubt,
impel either public or private enter
prise to send second expedition to the
scene this summer to endeavor to solve
the riddle. As the height of the sur.
face Of this lake is one thousand three
hundred and eighty feet above the sea

What is Electricity 2

Well, what is it? 1t is scarcely pos.
sible to say. There are theories
of them. It is evidently something of
which we can not take part; we can
not cut piece of it off and subject it
to analysis; nor can we pour little of
it into bottle for future study and
contemplation. 1t is like the wind, its
effects can be measured; its force,
strength and quantity can now be cal
culated to very nice degree. Still, to
liken it to the wind, it is stupendous
power, a mighty typhoon, blowing, as
it were, without moving, two ways at
once along all parts of its path; giving
off halo of magnetism at right angles
to that path everywhere.
One of the incest theories, perhaps,
is the one that considers electricity O
condition" of atoms, brought about
by chemical action, as in battery
cell, or by what might be called Sc
we're irritation of the magnetic halo
as in a dynamo, and by other means
such as heat and friction.
What this condition is is beyond us
it may be a violent rotation, or it may
be an equally violent vibration Of
atoms; probably the arc light would
prove it to be vibration. But as nc
man has seen an atom at any time, moi
even with the most powerful micro
scope, it is impossible to say. Friction
in some form or other is present, al

LITERARY NOTES.

Rudyard Kipling makes his last ap-
pearance as teller of Jungle Stories
in the Cosmopolitan for October.
"Mowgli Leaves the Jungle Forever"
and the curtin is drawn over one of
the most charming conceits in litera-
ture. In the same number in which
Mowgli makes his final adieux, appears
for the first time before an American
audience, the now famed Richard LIE
Gallienne in plea for religion under
the title Of "The Greatness of Man. ~
A very important paper on Estate Uni
versities" is contributed to this num-
her by Professor Ely. And among the
story tellers are Hopkinson Smith and
Boyesen. No more beautiful work has
ever appeared in any magazine than
the marvellous illustrations of Cabri-
nety used as frontspiece and accom-
panying the prose poem by Mrs. Car
dozo. Drake-who is said to be Kip.
ling's favorite artist for his Jungle
Stories-Carter Beard, 0sterland, Den
man, and Kemble. are among those
who contribute wealth of illustration
to this number. The Cosmopolitan
announces that twill being the publ
cation in January of The Agricultur-
lists illustrated Magazine, to be fully
the equal of The Cosmopolitan, but
containing from sixteen to twenty
pages by the ablest agricultural writers
of the world, upon subjects of import
ance to the agriculturist, horticultural,
and stock growing interest.

Oyster Shell Houses.

Houses built of oyster shells can be
seen in a large number of Texas
towns, said G. A. Holland, well
known newspaper man, recently, says
the Cincinnati Gazettee. "The State
was at one time undoubtedly part of
the bed of the Gulf of Mexico. How
many years ago geologists do not know,
and natural historians are puzzled
at the forms of life, so different are
they from any to be found elsewhere. -
Mr.. Holland then proceeded to unfold
remarkable story. Running across
the State from north to south, he said,
is an immense ledge or sheet of rock
formed of oyster Shells This ledge
averages about twenty feet in thickness
and is used for building purposes in
some places, while in Others it is ground
up and placed upon the ground as a
fertilizer. There is large quarry near
Henrietta, in the northern part of the
State, and a number of handsome
blocks have been constructed from it.
When first taken out of the earth it is
white and soft, but wien exposed to
the air it becomes hard and turns to a
beautiful buff color. 1t was formerly
used for foundations only, but during
the past few years great many hand
some blocks and residences have been
built of it,

,".-> Central's New Flyer.
On the stroke of e:1a O'Clock every

Central station in Jersey City new
and huge locomotive which can run o
mile In thirty six seconds, says the
New York Sun. This monster arouses
such interest in all who catch glimpse
OF 1t thatevery evening a crowd of men
and passengers by the various
outgoing trains-gather around it and
gaze7on it with amazement. Even the
engineers and aremep from other trains
show an unusual interest in it.
The engine is No. 885 and was built
by the Baldwin Loco Company, =,
of Philadelphia for the Philadelphia &
Reading, under contract to make the
run from Camden to Atlantic City,
ninety miles in ninety minutes. 1t is
temporarily on the Royal Blue line to
Philadelphia to get ready for service.
1t 10 compound engine, built on the
English model, with small smoke
stack, and is the only locomotive of the
kind in existence. In its general ap-
pearance it impresses one as being
much larger than it really is. 1t is
higher than the ordinary locomotive,
but by actual measurement il is one
inch less in length than engines of the
biggest type in use. The driving wheels
are the central figure. There are two
instead of four as is the rule on other
passenger engines. Instead of being
at the back of the. locomotive they are
in the middle and directly under the
cab. They, are seven feet high.
The engine is equipped with Weston
fire box and burns very fine buck W heat
coal. 1t is run under 200 pounds of
steam pressure and uses the steam
twice, for high and low pressure, W hich
insures saving of fuel and water.
The locomotive is expected to revolu.
tionize railroad transportation, and its
trial trips are being watched with q
great deal of interest by railroad men.

To 'GenIe, Or Memories or Childh nod

In little Southern town
Way down in Tennessee,
There dwells black-haired maiden,
Who once, know, loved me.
She's the playmate of my childhood,
Schoolmate of later years,
The sharer of my many joys,
AS also of my fears.
Our dear old "Oakland" home
Gave us pleasures pure and 6rue,
The roomy house and spacious grounds.
And beautiful mountain view.

When, like other "grown-up folks"
We played together, "Come to See,n
Under the grand old oaks.
The spreading roots formed different
rooms,
As they lay upon the ground;
Our cups and saucers, the acorns hard,
Under the trees we found.
When good old "Uncle Jaken
Piled the fallen leaves up high,
We would rnn and hide beneath them
This little girl and |.

] would paint my native home,
with mother in the doorway
To greet all friends that come,
That home, in ante bellum days,
OFT held merry throng,
Who made the walls re-echo
With laugh and wit and song.
When mother died the light went out
From childhood's happy "hame," ..
But all that's sweet and gentle
Clings round that mothers name.
Time has wrought sad changes
In that home in Tennessee
The inmates now are scattered
That once were dear to me. .
But where is my little playmateg
She never writes to me now;
Has she really ceased to love me?
That thought cannot allow.

REAL Res rAVE lNVENrMENrs

The Baltimore News places high
value upon real estate Investments,
il made in or near largo cities, aud
very properly takes the position that
no other class of investments are
either more safe or profitable.
Throughout the entire country" it
says, there is marked disposition
on the part of capitalists to invest
their money in real estate in or near
large cities. There is nothing" it
says, moro solid md more sure to
stand the test of time and the test Of
changes than great city."
These are facts which cannot BIO
disputed, nnd as our contemporary
remarks, it is because OF the solidity
OF these Investments, and because
OF the enormous losses in other sc.
curlties during the past few years,
that conservative investors are once
more recognizing the fact that there
is nothing so safe aud sure as we'll
located real estate IN and around a
great and progressive city.
The Atlanta Constitution, in
wilmington this subject, says that in
this country, with population
doubling every thirty years, it is
safe to say that the towns md cities
which are advantageously located
with good transportation facilities,
and n large population engaged in
diversified pursuits, will continue
to go forward for many generations
and perhaps centuries to come.
Real estate. it says. in or near these
centres is the best investment that
can be made, and it is right.
The VIRGISIAN is a firm believer
in reals estate investments, and 1t
believes, that Norfolk, which
is destined to be one of the great
cities of the country, oilers special
advantages to capitalists looking for
safe and profitable Investments. No
city in the Union has brig liter fin.
