A CITY IN n SEA.
Ruins of n Large Town Discovered at til,
Depth of Eighty Feet.

TNuihS Vi u AAIkc 1o"n 1J1sCOveTeO Al the
Depth of Eighty Feet.
The city authorities at Rovigno, on
the peninsula of Istria, in the Adriatic
sea, have discovered, a little south of
the peninsula, the ruins of a large town
at the bottom Of the sea. 1t had been
observed for years that fishermen's nets
were sometimes entangled in what ap-
peared to be masses of masonry, Of which
fragments were brought up from the sea
bed. Then a diver declared that he had
seen walls and streets below the water,
and SO the authorities of Rovigno de-
cided to investigate. They sent down a
diver, who, at the depth of 80 feet.
found himself surrounded at the bottom
Of the sea by ruined walls.
Continuing his explorations, he traced
the line Of walls and was able to dis
tinguish how the streets were laid out.
He did not see any doors or windows,
for they were hidden by masses Of sea-
weed and demonstrations. He traced the
masonry for a distance Of 100 feet, and
there he had to stop, for his diving cord
did not permit him to 60 farther. He
had proved beyond a doubt that he had
found the ruins Of a once inhabited
town, which, through some catastrophe,
had been covered by the sea. 1t is prob.
able that these are the ruins of the lost
town of Cissa, upon the island of tina,
name, mentioned by Pliny the elder
New York Sun.

II would only be painful, for we can
never, from this time forward, be any
thing but the most formal Of friends"
Tom was touched by the simple dig
nifty of the young Russian girl, whose
quiet life had been spent by the sea
shore under the shadow of the noun.
tains, far from the noise Of city or
town, SO he bowed to her will. Their
parting was a heartbreaking one to
both.
"Natalia, / can't bear to leave you.
/ must have you, dearest
There. 90 now. This is only fool
ish."
well, then, let me kiss You for the
last time, darling" pleaded Tom.
Natalia put up her little tear stained
face, and Tom silently kissed her and
went away.
That month passed only too quickly
for poor Tom, who looked with dread
toward the coming of the steamer. He
s%tudiously avoided Natalia, denying
himself the regular afternoon walk to
the Indian river. which is the event Of
the day to all the white people at Sitka.
He kept close to his rooms when not on
board ship, c~ursing the mistake Of his
life which was s soon to make an I'M
willing bridegroom Of him.
To Natalia, whose soft, brown eyes
were red with weeping, life seemed a
dreary blank now that the daily visits
of Tom had ceased. There appeared in
her mental horizon nothing for which to
live. She wondered how she had exist
cd before he came to Sitka. But then
she had been busy with her lessons, and
now, in the idea of her old fashioned
father, her simple education was COM
plete, and it was time for her to marry
one of the Russian lads who sought her
hand.
The next steamer day" Tom Douglas
was seen rushing madly to Natalia's
home. The neighbors, who Of course had
noted his long absence, were greatly sur
prised.
"Natalia, Natalia," he cried as soon
as she came into the quaint drawing
room to receive him. GIVE come to ask
you to be my wife. Dearest, say yes at
once"
"Why, Tom, are you crazy? What has
become of Alice?"
well, by George, Natalia, she is
married! Just think Of Unmarried !
And I am the happiest man on earth.
A pardoned convict's> feelings Of relief
are not to be compared to mine. You
see, soon after she left Washington she
met an old sweetheart whom she had
cast off to marry MI. Deering, whose
position and prospects seemed better. In
the meantime this fellow had made a
fortune, and as he was on his way to
Alaska for u pleasure trip they decided
to make it also a wedding trip and break
the new to me in person. Rather awk-
ward, you might think, but I congratu-
lated them with all my heart and thank
ed my stars for my freedom. Come, lit
tie girl, put on your hat, and I'll take
you down to the steamer to see the
bride, and I'll introduce to her my
f~iancee, because you say, Yes don't
you, dear?"
II suppose SO, Tom, but it's all so
sudden. Shall I wear my leghorn hat?"

What Makes Niagara Falls Power?

What makes Niagara falls power pos
sible is the fact that Lake Superior,
Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake
Erie, with a combined area of 90, 600
square miles, representing the reservoirs
Of some $50, 600 square miles Of water
shed, are situated 600 feet above the sea
level. The great volume of water fall
ing over the vast territory flows on its
natural course to the Atlantic ocean
with but a slight descent, until it is
brought into the narrow Niagara river,
when, in the rapids just above the falls,
it declines 55 feet and then, with a sim
gle plunge, drops into the abyss, 1875 feet
below. Eminent engineers have COM
puted that 275, 900 cubic feet Of water
pass over the falls every second, repre-
senting in theoretical energy over 8 ,000,.
900 horsepower. -Cassier's Magazine.

FIELD OF THE FLAG.
Hawairs ~ Would Make Old Glory
Shine In Symmetry.

Hawairs Star Would Mako Old Glory
Shine In Symmetry.
The A stars now in the field Of the
American flag present q very jagged ap-
pearance. There does not seem to be
any way to arrange them in equal rows.
All sorts Of forms and arrangements
have been adopted by fiagmakers. Per-
haps some uniform plan Of placing the
stars would be settled upon if it were
not that every one expects the number
will shortly be increased.
No change can be made, however, un-
til 1896, as the law requires that addi-
tional stars shall be added only ON the
Fourth of July succeeding the admis-
sion Of new states. In all probability
Utah and New Mexico will be admitted
next winter, which will increase the
stars in the field to 46. But even then
there will be almost the same irregu-
larity, though the field will be more
nearly filed up and will appear less
jagged than now.
Forty-eight stars could be arranged
50 as to present a perfectly regular ap-
pearance, and it is not improbable that
that number may be reached before long.
Oklahoma, a booming territory, is ask
ing admission, and Arizona has long
had pretensions to statehood.
With the admission of those four Or
ganized territories the national domain
will be exhausted unless the Indian
country is to be absorbed or admitted as
an Indian state. There is, of course.
Alaska, but that region can hardly be
considered as a possible state. 1t might
be added to our extreme northwestern
state, or wen to California, as there is
40 constitutional obstacle to this.
An ideal number Of stars for arrange
ment in the field of the flag would be
40. Up, down and ~diagonally there
would be ows of seven, the mystic
number.
1t is quite possible that there may be
10 states before the end of the century.
The civilized Indians in the Indian Ter
ritory may ask and obtain admission,
or the American colonies in the Ha-
waiian Islands may come in. 1t is true
that they are now maintaining an indie
pendent republic, but they constantly
avow their purpose to ask admission to
the Union. San Francisco Chronicle.

An Indiana Boiling Well.

At the home of Adam Lortz, neal Co.
lumbus, Ind, is a boiling we'll The
we'll was drilled, and when at . depth
of about 40 feet a stone was struck which
was hinty in construction and hard to
penetrate. When 10 feet more had been
drilled, water was reached. The drilling
was continued for some feet beyond,
when a 1umbling sound set in. The We
ter in this we'll is of excellent quality,
and SO loud is it's boiling and bubbling
that it can be heard 100 feet away. Mr..
Lortz finds the temperature of the water
to be about 243 degrees. By throwing
the light into the we'll, by means of
mirrors, the water presents the appear
ance Of a boiling pool.-St. Louis Globe

LABOR IN FRANCE.
Strikes Of 1894 and the Attempts 10 End
Them by Arbitra4Son.

~ ~ AuVa
Them by A~rbitra4ioa.
The French bureau Of labor has re-
Gently made a report Of the strike sta
tistics Of that country in 1894. There
were S91 strikes, in which "a, 578 work
men took direct part, and by which
4,468 others were thrown into idleness,
SO that in all 1909, 4S0 days of work
were lost. The year before there were
634 strikes, involving 10, 1873 men. In
1892 there were 261 strikes, and in the
year 1891, 267.
OF the strikes of 1894, 55 per cent
grew ont of questions of wages. The
workmen were successful in 81 per cent
of the strikes, which concerned 25 per
cent of all the strikers. Strikes inyolv-
ing 451a per cent of the workmen fail
ed, and 33 per cent of the strikes were
partly successful. There were 1O1 ap-
peals to the comparatively new law of
arbitration. Eight Of these appeals, sew
en- by the workingmen and one by the
employers, were made at the very outset
of the strikes before work was actually
stopped, and SO appeals were made aft
Or strikes had already been declared.
The number of appeals to the law Of
arbitration by workingmen was 81.
Employers made the appeal four times,
and employers and employed together
twice, while the judge having jurisdic-
ton interviewed A times. Employers re-
fused arbitration in "a cases and the
w~orkinglnen in 16 cases. After arbitra-
ton had been refused the workingmen in
two cases gave up their demands with
out actually having quit work. A strike
was declared once, 81 strikes were con-
tinued and five We're ended by the de-
feat of the workingmen, who aban-
doned their demands. OF 90 strikes be-
gun OF continued after arbitration was
refused six succeeded, seven were COM
promised and nine were defeated. In Ga
other conflicts 65 committees of concil-
iation We're constituted, two in the case
Of one strike.

Listen how they sing!
All the world is merry now
In the arms of spring.

Trembling stars above,
How they gladden., hearing May

Doubt with her has flown.

Slips a velvet glove;

All their dreams forsake.

Flies her faithful dove
