MUST NOT RIDE.
Action of Humane Society in Behalf
of Children.

The fond father, the admiring uncle
and the doting big brother who have
been in the habit of strapping the
baby in the basket, or giving the
youngster a ride on the bicycle, must
forego that sort of amusement or in
cur the liability of prosecution. Such
is the edict of the Illinois Humanes
Society, which claims the practice
now in much vogue not only imperils
the life of the child by accident but
tends to impair it's health in more
ways than one.
The officers of the society have been
giving the matter serious investiga'
ton, and have become alarmed at the
consequences visited upon the en-
tremely young generation of bicycle
riders. A baby strapped on the frort
of a wheel must needs stand the bruI,t
of the shock when a collision occurs
and is helpless when danger arises
But it is only one of the least objec
tions raised. Medical experts, they
say, are convinced that the rapid and
unnatural motion affects the child.
brain. If the advice is disregarded
the officials of the society will take ;
hand and invoke the aid of the law.

A FLOOD RENAISSANCE.
How . Young English Engineer Saved
Lowell From Destruction.

Lowell From Destruction.
The city of Lowell was saved from
destruction in 1852 by the foresight of
one young man. About 1885 Lowell
antiquarian named Uriah A. Boyden
devoted much attention to investigating
tradition of a great flood in the Merri-
mac in 1885 and found an old man who
remembered that his father marked the
height Of the water by driving a spike
in an apple tree. Mr.. Boyden persevered
in his search until he found the tree in
Tyngsboro. several miles above Lowell.
Its trunk was hollow, and entering it
from below he discovered the spike, its
head wholly concealed by the bark, at a
considerable. distance above the ground
1t showed that in 1885 the water had
risen to a point 1917 feet higher than
the top of the dam at the mouth Of The
canal, which furnished the Lowell Wa
ter power in 1885.
The engineer in charge of this power
was James b. Francis, young English
man, who urged the directors Of the
corporation to provide against the recur-
renee Of such rise of water. His argu-
ments prevailed, and he was allowed to
construct two immense wing walls of
masonry, diverging from the canal lock
and inclosing the entire country between
the canal and the river. Over the water
way he hung an immensely strong gate,
weighing 20 tons, which was suspended
by wrought iron chain. A sledge and
cold chisel were placed in the care of
the Waterman for use when needed. The
work was finished in 1850, and for two
years was laughed at as Francis
folly"
On the morning Of April 20, 1862, the
waters rose so high that the city of
Lowell was threatened with destruction,
and the young engineer was sent fer.
He rode to the dam without saddle
and hurriedly cut the chain, releasing
the great gate. His work stood bravcly,
and the Boston Advertiser, five days
later, said that if it had not been con-
structed every vestige of the old guard
gates would have been carried away and
mighty and uncomfortable river would
have swept through the heart of Low
ell, destroying everything in its course. ~
A service Of plate was presented to Mr..
Francis, and during the remainder of
his life, which ended only recently, he
was one of Lowell's most honored citi-
zens. For more than 40 years he was
agent of the corporation controlling the
water power. -Chicago Inter Ocean.

Mineral Range and Hancock and Cal

ed-Other News.

The supervisors held their monthly
meeting yesterday morning. Most OF the
proceedings were OF the routine order,
comprising the allowing OF the usual
number OF accounts. The matter of pro-
vidlng for the payment OF the outstand-
ing $50, 900 bridge bonds came up. $780,.
900 OF these bonds are held by the Port
land Marine Savings bank, and $4,000
by the Merchants 4 Miners Bank OF
Calumet, and by private investors in this
county. Ii was found that paying these
bonds, which were due July l. would
leave the county but SO, 1853, which is
not enough to carry the county through
until next years taxes come in, so the
matter was finally adjusted by author
izing the National Bank OF Houghton to
take up the bonds held in the East, pay
ing the accrued interest, which is to be
charged to the county. The county will
redeem the bonds at their option, but not
longer than year from July LIST, 1896,
at per cent. interest. The holders in
this county are perfectly satisfied to hold
on under this arrangement One super
visor iokingly advised holding off pay
ment until free silver times, and see if the
county could not get off at half price.
