LIVING BENEATH 4 LAKE.

An Englishman who has a lake up
on his estate recently caused it to be
drained, and in the deepest part he
had a house built, which contains
smoking, dining and servants rooms.
The framework of the house is iron
The floor is stone, resting upon a
foundation of concrete. The sides
and roof are composed of thick plate
glass. There is passage under the
water from the boat house to the
through large clumps of artificial
water lilies. which rest upon the sur
face of the lake.
1t is indescribably pleasant to sit in
one of the rooms upon a warm day.
There is no sound to be heard, and it
is interesting to watch the fish swim
ming around, attracted by the glare
of the electric lights.
The house cost comparatively lit
tie to build. The owner contemplate
es more ambitious scheme. He has
two square miles of forest, which he
intends to inclose by a wide, deep
trench, a strong iron railing and high
stone wall. He will then turn loose
into the inclosure every sort of wild
animal that he can promotions,
tigers, elephants, etc., in order to
ascertain if they can live at large in
this climate and without unduly in
terfering with each other. There is
to be a net work Of underground pas
sages, leading to numerous stone
towers in different places in the for
est, and from these he intends to
watch the animals and study their
habits when in comparatively wild
state.-LofadO7e Truth.

Honor the living.

When our republican Institutions were
threatened by internal discord, faithful
citizens from all parts of the land came
forward willingly to risk their lives for
their country's good. Today we revere
the memory of those who died and EN-
phasize their bravery even unto death
and also honor the living veterans, who
manifested equally the same courage
and devotion in preserving the Union.
We are not Indifferent, however, to the
bravery Of the foe, but recognize in the
soldiers of the south the same spirit Of
sacrifice which moved them to give their
lives in defense Of what to them was a
noble cause Selected.

ELECTRICITY.

The paradox of modern science is
furnished by electricity. In no other
department of science has progress in
the matter of application been so
great that experts can well afford to
acknowledge that what they now
know with regard to the true nature
OF the subject is less what they pro
fessed to know quarter of a century
ago.
An expert, writing in recent num-
Der of one of the magazines, asks,
ssWhat is electricity?" and replies to
his own question, ''That is question
''That is question no man can yet
fully answer
A college president said not long
ago, mo man knows what electricity
ISL In his Dictionary of Electrical
Words, Terms and Phrases Doctor
Houston defines electricity as 1.-THE
name given to the unknown thing,
matter or-force, or both, which is the
cause Of electric phenomena"
Twenty five years ago the text
books on physics attempted TO give
clear understanding of what positive
electricity is and what negative cleo
tricity is. The definition today of
positive electricity is, zone of the
phases of electric excitement" and
the definition of negative electricity
is the same except that the word sell
ectrical'' is used instead of electric
both meaning the same thing.
The intimate connection between
electricity and light is well known,
but the knowledge seems only to
make the true nature of electricity
more mysterious than before.
Yet electricity has come to be a
tsmatter or force, or both," that is al
most indispensable in the civilized
world. The unknown thing has
been made to furnish power, light and
heat. 1t has been harnessed for the
service of mankind, and no man
knows what is the thing in harness.
The street. car motorman who calls it
stjuice' knows as much about the real
nature of it as the wisest experts
know.

To-day we cover the graves Of the sol

The private soldiers were as brave and
as true as their leaders. We also scatlr

we may learn again the holy lesson of

fore high heaven that she Will protect

MADE THE RAILROAD SQUEAL.

Between this village and Bethel, be-
side the railroad track, there lived
some years ago an old woman who
kept a pig, which was allowed to
roam at will and CHANGED one day to
be strolling along the track at train
time.
The warning whistle blew again and
again, but the pig-headed pedestrian
kept on it's way, and soon a squeal OF
mortal agony brought the old lady to
the door as the cars went laundering
by.
Realizing instantly the calamity
that had fallen upon her, she shook
her fist at the disappearing smoke
stack, fercely apostrophizing the
engine for 'smurtherin' ould hath
en-" and picked up the pieces of pork
scattered along the rails.
She then endeavored to recover
damages from the railroad company
but was told in convincing language
that she had never tried to keep her
pig off the track, and if it had been
run over, it was her own fault.
Vowing vengeance on the "hard-
hearted crathurs,'' she returned home
and tried every bit of the fat porker
to lard. Then just before the arrival
Of the train that had played the part
Of executioner, she stole out Of her
house and carefully smeared the rails,
for half a mile or so, with the con-
centrated essence of her favorite.
'sThey won't be after runnin' over
We quite SO easy now, OHM thinkin',
paiggy," she muttered as she awaited
developments.
And true enough, her scheme work
ed to perfection. The big wheels Of
the engine rolled over and over, but
forward never bit; and sand was
scattered with lavish hand before
the engine would consent to run over
the pig in it's then form.
For three days she sedulously an
ointed the rails of her enemy, and on
the fourth dignified official of the
road knocked at her humble door.
With some severity, he reproached
her for the trouble which she had
given them and ended by paying her
a sum for the pig that let him to think
the animal had been very highly priz
ed.
With many bobs and mock cour-
tesy, the old woman accompanied her
distinguished visitor to the door and
was heard to call after him as he
turned away, 'sThank We, yer honor,
thank We, it's thryin' OIL be to kape
that paig off the thrack.''

March of the Remnant.

Not as they marched in time Of war
The columns move today.
No drum S inspiring music or
The flies shrill notes which sounded for
The troops which marched away.
The drums beat and the bugles call
In slower cadence now.
Times changing touch is felt by all.
With fainter sound the footsteps fall
Which rang on Lookout's brow.
Still are the weakened pulses thrilled.
The time dimmed eyes grow bright
With something of the fire which filed
The soldiers veins ere peace had stilled
The tumult of the fight.
With plaintive dirge, with mournful
thought,
The strife thinned ranks draw near,
small remnant of the host who fought,
Proud of the scars so dearly bought.

Fishing-Stooking Sire ans.
Although the season for the capture of
trout by lawful means will not expire
until the 1st of November, local anglers
are in ouandary as to how they can
spend their off days from business in the
enjoy ment of a pastime which they love
best.
They say it is only an expenditure of
time and money tovisit any of the coast
streams, as none of them contain trout of
size worthy of place in creel-thanks
to the very excellent system of stocking
creeks as now employed by the Fish Com
missioners.
There are, however, few streams in
Sonoma and Mendocino counties which
will pan out well to an experience angler
who will credit trout with having suf-
ficient power of vision to see large object
when it gets Immediately opposite pool,
the water of which is now as clear as
crystal.
Trout are very cunning in summer and
to catch them the angler must be accurate
in casting and use only the very finest and
best quality of tackle. The greatest secret
of success, however, is in keeping your
presence hidden from the quick eye of the
wary denizens, and 10 accomplish this
trick long-distance casts are frequently
necessary.

resort of anglers, but this year the trout
averaged only four inches in length, and
