Poll,s Wonderland Theater.

Many wondered If it was the same old Lew Dockstader who was to appear at the Wonderland yesterday, but mo sooner had he walked onto the stage than everyone present realized that it was the same brilliant genius who has so often entertained New Haven audi ences with his rare humor. He is fun nier than ever, and especially enjoyable were his keenly satirical references to local topics. The company supporting him is a splendidly strong combination. McAvoy and May are delightfully."- en- tertaining in their brilliantly eccentric comedy flashes, and the Misses O'NeiIl and Sutherland do some vivacious sing ing and nimble dancing.

lightning and Rnbbers.

1t is not agreeable to be struck by
lightning. Nor is it at all necessary.
There is sure preventative sure
as it is simple. inexpensive and always
accessible-a pair of rubbers. If q
woman will simply put on pair of
rubbers when the lightning begins to
flash and the thunder to roar, and will
stand on the floor so that she touches
nothing else, she will be as safe as if
she were sealed in glass cage.
Rubber is a non-conductor of elec-
tricity, and if the lightning has to go
througha u sheet of rubber to get at
you, it will leave you alone, aud take
something else. In other words, when
you have on a pair of rubbers, and
not in contact with anything, you are
perfectly insulated.~
This is not theory merely; it is
fact proven by innumerable expert
ences. A pair of rubbers has saved
many life in thunderstorm.
Only little while ago Horace w.
Folger, of Cambridgeport, Mass, was
on u pilot boat in Boston Harbor,
when thunderstorm came up. lie
was on deck wearing rubber boots,
but steadying himself with one hand
by wire cable from the main topmast.
lightning struck the topmast,
shivering it into splinters. Down the
cable went the current. Folger was
knocked unconscious. When he re-
covered he was full of aches aud pains,
but he pulled through. If it had not
been for the rubber boots, the cur
rent would have passed entirely
through him. As it was the current
could not get through his boots, so
it passed down the cable.
1t might be we'll to add that "a pair
of rubbers to be effective against
lightning must be sound and whole.
Do not put on an old pair with
crack in the toe, because electricity
will get out of very small hole when
it is cornered, aud pair of defective
rubbers will do you no good. New

Bear Hunting in TOWNS Suburbs.

"You are thinking about going bear
hunting, ohi" remarked SImuer Ell
more, the largest salmon packer on
the Columbia River, when one of his
acquaintances expressed a desire to
bag some big game. swell, If you
want to get plenty of bears without
much trolble go to Astoria.
tAstoria is nice little city os about
10,000 inhabitants, but half u mile
south of the Custom House is virgin
forest skirting Young's River and the
Lewis and Clarke. The forest
stretches eastward to the Willamette
Valley and is full of elk, deer and
bear.
"In the summer time during the
packing season thousands upon thou
sands of salmon heads are thrown into
the Columbia River off the water front.
The tide carries them around into
Young's Bay and they drift up on the
beach.
"Bears, like cats, are wild for fish.
They will leave a beehive to get a
salmon head, and the result is that
great numbers Of them come down
from the mountains to the beach to
feast ON salmon heads. Many people
set big log traps baited with salmon
in the timber along the beach and
many bears are trapped every year
almost within gunshot OF the Custom
House. San Francisco Post.

TRACING THE LOSS.

The two dollar bill was missing (;
that was one sure thing. Mr.. Hank
iuson had given 1t to Mrs. Hankinson
to pay the iceman, and Mrs. Hankin-
son had it on the mantel. Now it was
gone. Two plumbers had been in
through the room early in the after
noon. Later the men from the stdr-
age warehouse had called for the
Hankinson silverware, ere the Hank
insons departed for the country.
These, besides the usual members of
the FAINT we're all who had been in
the room.
"Porhaps," Mrs. Hankinson mildly
observed, "as the window was open,
it was blown out.
Mr.. Hankinson snorted.
''Most likely it was blown in !" he
said.
Then the cook came forward.
''lhim plumbers tux utl she said /;
'they were here first. The storage
min couldn't hev TUX it fer they wor
here last, an l saw it after they wor
gonel"
Mr.. Hankinson thought profoundly
for a moment, and, as this seemed u
plausible theory, he lot it go at that.

A New Filter for Ships.

A new filter for ships is made of a
tree-trunk. The water is pumped up
into a reservoir and then forced, un-
der heavy pressure, into the filter
formed by the trunk of the tree. In
a few minutes the water is seen ooz-
ing out of the lower portion of the
trunk, and is entirely freed from salt
and the Objectionable taste of sea-
water; in fact, it is drinkable, and
may be used for all domestic pur-
poses. This is a discovery OF the ut
most importance, as heretofore chem
icals have been the only means of
purifying the seG-water, and this
sometimes brought about unpleasant
results, on account of developing new
elements by the mixture of the puri-
fiers with the salt water. Now York

The vulture is seen at its best when

skinned, is exposed in the open. Over

thrown from the pad to the ground,

waIk rhOusana MIIes to worship.

The history OF Canada, especially
its earlier history, preserves the story
of many a deed of heroism AMI devo-
ton on the part of Christian mission
aries who worked and perished among
the Indians, but there are few stories
which reflect 80 much credit on Indian
piety as that published from Quebec.
Montagnais and Eskimos came from
the southern shore of Hudson Strait
to worship in the Province of Quebec.
This involved tramp on foot OF 1909
miles. No pilgrimage in the middle
ages was ever male in circumstances
OF greater hardship. The citizen who
is loath to walk block to church
along a smooth, dry pavement, ought
to think of these Indians plolding

The person who was asked to point
out the most popular book of last year
based on the circulation of copies
would hardly be likely to hit upon the
right answer. 1t is not to "Trilby,"
the graceful, nor the brave "Gentle-
man of France. nor the "Prisoner
OF Zenda," nor "Coin's Financial
School," nor "Merrie England" nor
any of the books of the day that hold
the record. All these, with their
25, 600 and 80, 900 and 100, 900 of cir.
eulation, are far in the wear. The
leader in books last year, as for all tho

made of india rubber cloth, but the
interior is provided with rubber boots
and trousers, into which the user
thrusts his legs, bringing the boat up
round his waist. He then walks into
the water and initiates the collar, which
buoys him up. OF course he can pro-
pei the boat by treating the water or
by rigging up a sail, and he remains
quite dry. The "boat" is easily car
