Council Proceedings.

Council held an adjourned session Monday
night, to consider the question of increasing
the present rate allowed the Ravenna Gas
and Electric Light Company for lighting the
village streets.
Messrs. Merits and Hyde were present as
representatives of the Company, and a
lengthy discussion ensued, covering various
points of the matter in subject.
In the first place, there seems to be large
public sentiment in favor of the town owning
and operating plant for lighting purposes,
and some days previous to the session of
Monday evening an estimate was prepared
by w. Il. Linton, one of the Waterworks
Trustees, of the cost of so arc lighting plant
to be located at Crystal Lake pumping sta
ton, operated in connection with the water
plant of the town. The estimates are said
to be very liberal, exceeding in all proba
bility the actual amount necessary TO be in
| vested.
An addition 32x32 would be required, ant
the total cost of the plant and its operation
per year is estimated as follows:
House addition on south end. .........$ 1900
New engine and foundahon..............1 10000
New boiler and setting 5000

Rubber Seed OIL.

A suggestion of a new source of in
rome from the rubber tree is contained
in a pamphlet by Senior da Cunha, TO-
Gently published by the state govern
ment OF Para. According to this au-
thor, it is probable that before many
years elapse an important trade will
be developed in the seeds of the rub
Der tree, which ire very abundant and
yield an important quantity Of oil,
which is said to compare favorably
with linseed oil. Up to the present
time this oil has been extracted only
in small quantities; but with the more
systematic regulation of the rubber
Industry, which the author predicts. it
is expected that the rubber tree seed
will be included among the valuable
of the country. If it Is, i'll
deed, true that such oil can be made
from the seeds of the rubber tree, and
one that is similar to linseed oil, it
may be that from this will be pro-
duced the ideal II bier substitute. 1t

and kindred oils, and perhaps the oil

The Study of Manners.

An Eastern female college has intro,
duced into its curriculum Il systematic
study of manners. 1t is to be hoped
that other institutions of learning
especially public schools-will take up
a like course. AS a nation we are sad
ly deficient in this respect. In at
tempting to avoid the elaborate and
often absurd ceremonies of European
polite life, We have gone to the oppo-
site extreme. and, as a consequence,
sometimes Americans of the most re-
fined nature appear rude and uncouth.
We need to know more of the con
ve~ntionalities of elegant society, with
out going into the finical questions of
etiquette that are bothersome and I'M
important. Teach our young men and
women the politeness that comes from
a gentle heart and a delicate percep-
ton.

! Bicycles Now and Next Year.
The flood of inventions hat is being
poured into the bicycle market Is al
most unprecedented. Bicycle tires,
Sgears, lamps, stands and every part
of a bicycle have been used as a basis
Of experiment. A clever Canadian Of
| fered to a manufacturer a neat and
practicable little device to make bicy-
cles stand. 1t could, he said, be car
ried on every wheel, and he wanted a
royalty. He was met by the response
that bicyclists were stripping their
wheels of every ounce of superfuous
| weight, and that in the struggle for
lightness many men went so far as to
leave the tool bags off their wheels,
and in case of breakdowns on the road
they depended ON kindly disposed BIZ
cyclists who carry theirs along. Sew
eral devices have been invented for
facilitating the manufacture OF
wheels. 1t is said that the woman's
machine is a difficult thing for the
maker to produce and keep up to
date, for the reason that the improve
ments are being made at a rapid rate,
the needs Of the woman bicyclist be-
ing better understood. Saddles are
turned out at a terrific rate by a new
machine. One machine cuts the leath-
err into assorted sizes. These are
passed into another machine, and
when they appear again they are COM
plete. The hubs, washers, spoke nip
pies and all the other small parts are
handled separately by skilled men.
One authority maintains hat the
wheel of the future will be Of wood,
and believes that the hickory bicycle
will lead all others in popular favor.
There are all sorts of prophecies as to
next years bicycles, but so far there
is little beyond conjecture. What Is
announced is that the wheel will be
heavier by a few pounds and a great
deal stronger. The tendency is to re-
action against the lightneSs and film
SineSS of wheels hat cannot stand
wear and tear. 1t is also said that
the wheels will have a greater diam
eter and the tire will be about one-half
larger than that nov in use. This
increase in the size of the tire will be
mainly in the thickness of the rubber
tubing, which will lessen the liability
to puncture; six-ply rubber will not
tear as easily as two or three-ply.
Makers are looking to expeud their
skill on l~essening friction and increas-
ing speed. Although the coming wheel
is to be heavier, it will probably car
~ a rider much further upon a like
expenditure of physical energy than
the wheel Of to-day, and more safely.
A large Western syndicate is to put
wheels on the market next year for
$50 each. This cheap wheel will in
crease the number of riders, for many
persons will buy it, and thus become
prospective purchasers of a wheel
that will last, who would not learn to
ride for many years yet if they were
compelled to pay standard prices.

STURGEON FISHING.

The fishermen along the river at
Essex and SaybroOk are now engaged
in sturgeon fishing. Few are aware
of the methods used to catch this mon
ster of the waters, for a monster it
surely is, often weighing 500 pounds
or more. The sturgeon fisherman is
compelled to use good Judgment and
master his prey when caught, for the
fish are desperate as well as powerful.
The net is of the same style as an
ordinary fishing seine, the meshes be-
ing fourteen inches square of twenty
seven thread Irvine. This thread will
not be sufficient to hold the fish when
caught, because of it's great strength
and shape, but no sooner is he caught
in the he sffjj38sse thu ii It basGG9amffIS e WorR OF
landing him in the fishing boat begins.
The fishermen know when the fish
is in the net, for the seine corks begin
to sink and dance on the water as
though electrified. The fishermen in
the boat approach this troubled spot,
gradually haul in what is known as
the cork line, and the monster is raised
until h lantern reveals it's position.
Then the Ratchet is used on it's head
with repeated blows, after which the

for a time until life is thought to be
extinct. But the fishermen are often
deceived. for the sturgeon may have
been playing 'pOssum, as Mr.. Daniels
and Mate B~rockway of Hamburg will
testify.
They recently had Il midnight en-
counter with a 450-pound sturgeon,
which, after being safely landed in
the boat, came to life in good shape,
ID proceeded to take charge not only
Of the boat but of the crew, in such a
n that the frightened fishermen
started their boat for shore and finally
cached it, but neither was able to
tell how, so excited were they. The
f"h lived two hours and wasted no
time; it succeeded in breaking two of
lne boards and II oar. as well as
tearing the sail, which was slowed in
the forward part of the boat. This
fish was considered one of the most
desperate kin of the sturgeon species,
being known as the "~bull-nOSe," which
does not often leave salt for fresh
water.
In comedy shqd-fishing days. when a
sturgeon got in a seine with a shad it
was always sure to liberate the whole
catch by tearing a large hole in what
is called the ''bust." These fish are
always dreaded by the shad fishermen.
Their time for visiting these waters is
from h middle of June to the 1St Of
September, and, like the swallows, all
go-or seem to gC-ir II day.-EsseX

Elephants and Their AiIments,

Elephants are very rarely the VIC
Tins of serious Illness" said the old
animal trainer. son rare occasions
when something is wrong with them
there seems to be little that can be
done for their relief except to allow
them absolute rest. On one occasion,
when one of the big beasts was look
ing worn and thin after a hard sea-
sons work, carrying the saddle every
day, two quarts of pure whisky were
given her with the best results. The
stimulant seemed to brace her up i'm
mediately and has been used with
similar success in other instances. L
remember a queer "misadventure that
befell n of the elephants during the
summer of 1894. There was a loose
board in the partition that separated
the elephants quarters on the ele-
plant car from the little room at the
end where the keepers slept.
THE floor of the little room was
covered with straw mattresses and
n Sunday, while the men were
away, the elephant reached her trunk
through the hole in the partition and
before she was detected ate up an
entire mattress. The next day the
animal was taken violently i'll, going
into commissions and making q terri
bic disturbance. The caus of the
trouble was not discovered until one
of the keepers remembered thai he
had concealed in the mattress five
pounds of plug tobacco, which had
gone down the elephants throat along
with the straw. The oldest elephant
in the country is seventy years old.
There is a wide misrepresentation in
regard to the ages of elephants. Ele-
plants are not as a rule much longer
lived than men and m | doubt
if they ever attain a greater age than
$50 years"

Many ideas have been worked out
for the construction of a station indi-
Gator for railway stations and trains,
and many have been patented, but
thai seems to be as far as they get.
An indicator is about to be fitted upon
the cars of the Metropolitan District
Railway, London, England, which
looks like a practicable device. This
railway has about forty-eight stations
and frequent trains, so that the ap-
paratus will have a trying test. At a
sufficient distance beyond each sta
ton, clear of the switches a piece Of
timber 4 inches wide by 20 feet long
is placed on chairs fastened to the
sleepers just In the middle of the
track. This r GqrsrimfSo H iPtffTffit f. a yerti-
cal rod running up to a shaft on the
roof. AS this shaft moves to the right
or the left it %actuates an endless chain
within the car, which carries the
names of the stations in conspicuous
letters. So that whatever way tho
train is moving, it actuates the ap-
paratus on the track and the endless
cha;n is moved correspondingly.
