THE EFT RAN.

We suppose that when the wicked in good old Noah's time saw it rain and rain and rain they kept thinking it would clear off, and if there was a weather bureau in those days they probably got some little encouragement from it. They had no idea that there was really going to be a flood that would drown them and float the good and wise Noah into everlasting fame and fair repute. These times may be wickeder than Noahs times were, for while there was one man found with an ark then, nobody is building one now, Instead they are all thinking it will clear off sometime. Perhaps it will. It looks bit like it while we are writing this. But if 1t shouldn't and if 1t should rain eight or ten inches more
 to-day careful people, even if they are
 not very good, will show wisdom by
 considering how they are going to keep

THE rHIRsr FOE Go1n.

Those of our readers who feel that they must go prospecting for gold would do we'll to go slow and not go too far. They can look for gold right here in Connecticut. If we are not mistak- en there is a gold mine as near as Or ange, and room for several more. Prob ably a search for gold there would be as remunerative for most people who are not practical miners as the search for gold in Alaska would be, and it would certainly be much safer and more comfortable. Dr. Dall, the we'll known scientific writer and Alaskan explorer writes of the climate of the Klondike region: There is a short, hot summer of about four months, with practically no spring or autumn. The ice begins to break up in the rivers about May 25, and navigation begins on the Yukon about the first week in June. It begins to get very cool by the latter part of September, and is almost winter weather by the first of October. The winter is very cold and dry, with not more than three feet of snow. There is only about three inches of rainfall during the winter, and not more than 8 foot or ten inches the whole year around. It is a country in which it is very hard to find food, as there is prac- tically no game. Before the whites went into the region there were not more than three hundred natives. They have hard work to support them selves on account of the scarcity of game. The thermometer sometimes goes down to 6S degrees below zero in January and February.
 Though 6s degrees below zero in Alas ka may not be as cold as the same would be here, 1t Is cold enough, And if one should happen to be very hungry in such weather he would long for home and friends.

A KING FOR THREE MONTHS.
The Luck of Sea Captain Wreeke
 Naar tho CarntiDn Islands

The Luck of Sea Captain Wrecked
 Near the Caroline Islands.
 Captain Curtis of the wheat ship Flu rydice was in the city to-day, having returned with his vessel to the West Seattle elevator. He has had an expe- rience within the past twelve months that might make many a skipper envl- ous, having ruled as king of group or islands In the South Pacific ocean. Captain Curtis was the first officer or the ship Flora F. Stafford which was lost at sea about a year ago.
 When the Stafford was given up," said Captain Curtis this morning. we lowered the boats and left her at sea. 1 had six men with me in one boat and
 the captain went in another boat. My
 boat headed for the Caroline Islands, and after fifteen days we came in sight
 of land. We were royalty welcomed by the natives, who could not do enough to honor us. Ikickikee, king Of the Caro- lines, insisted that he should apdlcate his throne and make me his successor. I did not assume the royal garments and robes, for etiquette down there re- quires none of them, but l took the sceptre and ruled over those islands for three months. I wooed and won the ex-king's daughter, and I also gave out orders against cannibalism, TOT 1 thought some of the Staffords crew
 might drift ashore. My orders were strictly obeyed, for I was an apsolute monarch. They allowed me little tune to sleep. Every night I was compelleo to start the hoolah-hoolah dances With the women, and every day and nlght some delegations of natives from other islands in the group would call upon me to arbitrate in some murder case.
 Those fellows were always killing each
 other. I would get in their canoes and go with them. I would hear the testl- | mony and decided who was guilty. MY decision was final, and the guilty man l would be shot.
 After remaining on the islands three | months l took passage on the nrst l steamer that passed. I was landed at
 Manila in the Philippines, and reached
 there in time to see the execution of four insurgents. They were learned

MaN VS. MOSQUITO.

It is ridiculous, when you come to think of it, that proud Man and still prouder Woman should be at the mercy of the pesky mosquito. But they are, and every summer they find them selves worried and wounded by the winged devils. But the mosquito may not always have it ali his own way. He may soon be earnestly attacked, and that too right in his lair. It is believed that New Jersey can be rid of the mos quitos that have made life there a bur- den. The idea is that the marshes are the great breeding place for the pest, and it is by making them permanently dry that it is expected to break up the present mosquito belt. To do this a strip of marsh eighteen miles long and four miles wide must be reclaimed Engineer Vermeule suggests three plans for retaining the territory. The first is by dredging open canals through the marsh, the dredged material to be used in raising the level of intervening lands above high water. The second plan is by filling in the meadows with extraneous material. The cost of car- rying out the first plan is estimated at from $484 to $700 per acre. The cost of carrying out the second plan is esti- mated at $2,500 per acre
 After suggesting both these plans, the engineer finds fault with them, and sets the seal of his approval on a third plan, of which he speaks as follows: The third method of treatment considered is the one which has been usually adopted wherever reclamation has been successfully accomplished on large scale. It is embanking, or dyking, and draining the water off by means of tide sluices, or by pumping. The ordi- nary tide sluice consists simply of a wooden gate hinged at its upper edge and hung so that it will open when the water inside, in the meadow ditches is slightly higher than the water without thus allowing the water to flow out freely, but immediately closing wher | the current sets in the opposite direc- | tion. By means of such sluices where | the amount of water flowing into the meadow from tributary streams is not | too large, the water in the meadow
 ditches is kept down nearly to the leve
 of low tide. The surface of the meadow

above low-water level so that 1t does not seem probable that any very large area of this marsh win sink much be- low the level of low tide. We must certainly look forward to pumping the water from the entire area drained af- ter the marsh has had five to ten years of shrinkage, as the sluices will then become ineffective; consequently, if sluices are built they may be of a tenn porary character, of timber, but so con- structed as to be tight and substantial during their period of service.
 It is figured that 1t will cost about S1.500OO0 to conquer the New Jersey mosquitos, but the victory will be worth it. When the battle is over and won in New Jersey perhaps our own east shore mosquitoes can be tackled and vanquished

It is carefully explained by some ot those who are deep in the scheme to kick MT Dewell out of the office which he did not seek and which he has adorned that they are not in it because he has not done his duty or because he has not stood up for the advertising spree. They do not say exactly what they are in it for, but it is probable that they are in 1t to do MT. Dewell a kindness and at the same time benefit the public. We feel justified in this guess, because it is so consistent with what little is known of the right honor able gentlemen.

set in below shoulder puff, and at a little distance up the arm seems to be bare A corresponding yoke may be set in about the throat. A gown thus fin- ished is at once friendly towards slen- derness, and yet not too frankly plan- ned because of it. Pleated chiffon ruff fles as caps for small sleeves are still stylish and when arranged as in the accompanying picture they lend a dain- tily summery touch. This pictured dress was tan pongee silk, its novel jacket was edged with white chiffon ruff1es and trimmed with crossed bands of white satin ribbon. Lace and velvet points ornamented the collar, and mar row black velvet ribbon trimmed yoke and sleeves. A pleated chiffon ruffie trimmed the skirt near the hem.
 The very latest cape accomplishes the result of the golf cape, which revolu- tionized the cape market few seasons ago. that is, it leaves the arms free, but it does not expose the chest, as it's predecessor did. The new device fas- tens the cape along each shoulder. The edges of the cape lap generously and there seems to be no opening to the garment, but the lifted arm is not in the least irnpeded. It Is claimed that this cape will be as popular as the golf was, and 1t certainly is more becon,- ing and protective. It lacks certain picturesque sweep and dash, but sweep and dash are, after all disadvantages aboard ship, in mountain climbing, or, indeed, in most of the occasions for which the golf cape has been used.
