SEARCHED WITH DYNAMITE.
The Body of Little Fred Fostering
StiII in the River.

The body of little Fred Fostering. who
was drowned near the market dock Mon
day afternoon. has not yet been recovered.
Search was made for the body all of yes
terday.
Capt. Sorcho, who has been giving ex-
hibitions a Thunderbolt for some time.
and Johnny VIM, a local diver, were
engaged by Mr.. George Fostering. the
boys father, to search for the body A
reward OF S2o was also offered for its re-
covery.
Permission was secured from the MAYOR
TO use dynamite in the river for the pur-
pose of raising the body to the surface
The permission was granted after City
Engineer VIM had given his opinion that
the discharge of dynamite in the river
in one pound charges would not be likely
TO do damage to the buildings along the
river front.
The use of the dynamite charges was
begun In the afternoon. The shocks could
be plainly felt in the buildings on BAY
street, and on this account the searchers
were notified TO discontinue their use of
dynamite until after Z O'clock The ex-
plosions were resumed at that hour, and
continued for over an hour but without
success. 1 was noticed that after each
discharge number of dead or stunned
catfish came to the surface of the water
As soon as the negro boatmen caught on
to this fact they proceeded to reap har-
vest of catfish.

EGGS IN BATTLE.

One good reason frequently urged
against giving woman the ballot !,
that she can never become soldier
1t Is pointed out that even the most
advanced OF their sex. when they fire
u gun, shut their eyes. and that wo'
men form the great bulk of the Uni
vcrsal Peace Society. This is quite
true, and il is barely possible that in
the future we may see war Softencd
and elevated by woman's hallowing
influence. People will still disagree,
but they will fight it out with other
weapons than dreadful bullets. In
Los Angeles Il delightful precedent OF
this sort was inauguratcd the other
day, when two women had Il little
scrap, and instead Of cutting each
other with dirks or blowing the tops
OF their heads of with guns, as men
would have done, they bombarded
each other with eggs until the ques'
ton was settled. 1t Is said their
bangs were like restaurant order
for scrambled eggs, but no serious
damage was done, except to the eggs
This kind Of warfare must commend
itself to all humane people. A due
with fresh eggs should be enough Il
settle such questions Of honor as have
previously demanded murder from
civilized people.

THE RED LAKE,

Lake MOrat, in Switzerland, has d
queer habit OF turning red about two
or three times every ten years, says
Public Opinion. 1t is pretty lake.
like most Of the sheets of water in
that picturesque country, and its pc
culiar freak is attributed to Il dispOsi'
tion to celebrate the slaughter OF Bur.
gundans under Charles the Bold, on
June 81, l4I6. But the French say
that it bushes for the conduct
of the Swiss, who in that battle
gave the Burgundans no quarter.
The old fishermen OF the lake, who
catch enormous fish called silures
that weigh between 25 and 40 kiO-
grams say when they see the waters
Of the lake reddcning, that IL is the
blood Of the Burgundians. AS mat
ter OF fact, some Of the bodies of the
Burgundians killed in the battle were
thrown into the lake, while others
were tossed into Il grave tllled with
Quicklimc. This historical recOllcc
tion aneered the Burgundian soldiers
OF the victorious armies OF the rcpub-
lie of l70S so much that they destroy
ed the monument raised in honor OF
their compatriots who fell hcroically
in that battle, and Henri Martin very
Justly rcproachcd thcm for that piece
of vandalism. 1t would hardly do to
attribute the rcddening OF the waters
of the lake to the blood OF the soldiers
of Charles the Bold. The color is due
simply to the presence in large guam
titles of little aquatic plants called by
naturalists Oscillatoria rubescens.
The curious thing about it is that
Lake Morat is the only lake in Which
this curious growth is developed, and
the popularity is beginning to inter.

DISCIPLE OF THE WOOD PILE.

DOO Duructtt.
Every human male man who pos
scsses even lingering taint of ten-
per should keep an ak and Il wood
pile somewhere handy, that he may
rush out and work off his wrath when
it wakes fierce. There is nothing in
this vain old world that will send u
man back to his appointed work with
more wiltcd collar and truer com.
prchcnsion OF himself than thirty
minutes rustling with Il full-ilav0rcd
AK. lie can use it SO tiercely in the
wood that all the fury OF his nature,
all the hate that he feels for his eDc'
my, he can infuse into the AK handle
and how the chips will fly. Not very
artistically, probably, but they will
fly. And presently it begins to dawn
upon the man that lie Is feeling more
calm. Evidently he is experiencing u
change of heart. lie does not hate
his enemy at all. He changes his
stroke and begins to chop on the sys-
tenn OF Italian pcnmanship-thc up
strokes heavy and the down ones
light. He rather loves his enemy now.
At least he puts all his failing
strength in one terrific blow. lie
misses his tip With the ax and smitcs
the chopping block with the handle.
A tingle, as though he had swallowed
an alarm clock, goes from elbow to
hip and back again, the ak drops from
his powcrlcss hands, and'a weak,
limb, pSe elesss, perspiring, trem-
bling. 4 ping thing, hc staggcrs tu
the house, lies down on the first
thing that looks like u lounge, and Is
ready to die. There isn't II fear or u
fault In his heart. Death has no ter
rors and life has no temptations fol
him. He has chopped out all his
baser nature, and he Is just as ethera
and spiritual as he can be on this sldt
