Otter hunting is done with dogs and
men. They go whooping up stream on
the otter's trail, tho hired men keeping in
the wnter in u line to prevent the animals
turning down stream, as the beast cannot
be trailed while going down. The dogs
come up with and tear tho otter to death,
u the hunt is successful, but often the
otter tears the dogs. An otter will whip
any dog In the water.
An English otter Of over 30 pounds
weight Is big one, and few reach that
weight. The biggest one remembered
weighed 81 pounds and was killed ut Bow
thorp, noar Norwich. A 30 FOUNDER was
caught in Skcggles water, Westmorland.
Some Englishmen used to eat the hearts
of the animals. considering them to DO
fine.
Tho American otter is a sly animal,
which is not often killed by gunshot and
as seldom taken with traps, since nothing
but tho utmost care in setting and batting

st. Petersburg owes it's second great
palace, the Hermitage, to fantasy Of
Catherine II. Originally the Hermit
age was small pavilion attached to
the Winter Palace, place Of recrea-
ton, where friendly causerie, as it was
understood in the last century, could
be carried on without court formal
ties. The imperial hostess drew up a
series of rules for these parties, and
placed them on tablet near the door.
"Leave your rank outside. as well as
your hat" says the first rule. BE gay,
but do not spoil anything; do not breal,
or gnaw anything" is somewhat
ominous adraonition, but those to

element" and neither to sigh nor to
yawn, nor to make anybody dull nor

Harvesting Of the Lachine rapids. Of
the great st. Lawrence river, which
presents many engineering difficulties
owing to the formation Of the river
channel at this point, and the extreme
cold, experienced I'm winter, making It
necessary 30 to construct the dam that
the floating Ice will not interfere with
the regular operation Of the plant.
The work has begun by the construc-
ton Of an artificial canal along the
north shore Of the st. Lawrence right
above the I4achine rapids and ave
miles from Montreal. The main dam
Of the work. running out from the
shore, consists Of q series Of isolated
piers Of masonry and concrete, and ID
constructed about $500 feet down the
Ever from the ice tenders. These
piers are made to form the fumes to
take the turbine wheels and shafting
which generate and deliver the power.
The sixty turbines will operate under
. head Of II feet and will develop 200
horsepower each, making total Of
1900 horsepower Ill the year round.
There are three power houses In which
will be located the electric generators,
four In each power house, each Of
about 1000 horsepower. These gen
orators are coupled to jack-shaft, and
elk Of the turbines are connected to
this shaft with bevel cone gears, thus
transmitting to each generator the
power OF six turbines, or 1900 horse
power. The building extends the full
length Of the main dam and is AZ feet
wide, excepting at the power house,
where 1t Is 20 feet. The original idea
Of the company was to generate the
power merely and dispose of It on the
jack shaft and to lay out large por-
tion Of the adjoining grounds into fac
tory sites. Recently, however, It was
decided to bring the power into Mon
treal and dispose OF It there.
In addition to the great development
Of water power the Lachine Hydraulic
and Land company has decided to lay
out It's property adjoining the work In
the form of q model town. The prop
erty will be divided into building lots,
drained, graded, supplied with water,
electric lighting and electric heating,
besides having it's own electric railway

= When Nansen set out on the memora-
BILE expedition to try to reach the north
pole, great interest was excited by the
installation on board the Fran Of lit
tie plant for supplying current for q
number of electric lights, by which 1t
was sought to lessen the dreariness of
the long arctic winter. The dynamo
was geared up to Windlass, from
which q number of sheaves projected.
The method proposed for generating
sheaf and let him walk round during
his shift, and thus turn the. Windlass
The electricity was then used to charge
a battery Of accumulators, which were
thus available for lighting purposes.
A wind mill was also provided to be
used when opportunity offered instead
Of hand labor. The experiment was q
great success. Until May last the acci-
mulators were continually hargad, and
the electric light was always available.
In the severe cold the batteries froze
right through. but the acid-blended ice
proved an excellent electrolyte, ind the
frost did not interfere with the work
ing Of the accumulators. On festive &C.
casions an arc light was suspended in
the saloon, and by 1t DIR. Nansen paint
ed or made photographs. The night he
left the Fran a transparency bearing
the words God Tur'' "a safe Journey
was improvised with incandescent
lamps, and when he and Lieut.. johann
sen left the ship an arc lamp was run
up to the top of the mast as a fare
we'll greeting. At one time parts of the
had to be taken for making
and runners. Electricity
was also used for other purposes be-
sides lighting, the mining shots which
set the Fran free from the grip of the
ice being fired by means of cable at
tached to SIX L..clanche cells. The en-
tie electric installation worked admir-
ably.

AERIAL SPIES.

In the Next War Soldiers Will He

looms.
Kite flying is no longer merely q
sport in this country. A number of sci
entifc men have turned to the kite as
an economical means Of taking meteor
illogical observations, which may prove
to be Of great benefit to science by Sc
curing an accurate and constant record
Of the conditions in the atmosphere at
attitudes where observations have al
ready been taken. For example, dur
ing q recent kite ascension at Blue
Hill, maximum height Of nearly 9,4OO
feet was attained, while q meteoro-
graph record was kept Of the atmos-
pheric conditions for more than three
hours about a mile from the earth. II
such records were constantly obtained
the Silence Of fOrecasting the weather
might prove to be much. benefited.
The work Of photographing from
kites has already been tried In this
vicinity with much success. This has
led to an interesting experiment by the
war department with an idea of util-
izing the modern kite for military pur-
poses. III an experiment at Governors
island in New York harbor last week
a large kite was sent up bearing q
dummy soldier. It Ia understood that
the test was SO successful that within
q few weeks real soldier will be sent
up in the air by means of one Of these
kites to show the feasibility of substi-
tuting the modern kite for the war bal
loon.
The use Of war balloons in Europe
has now become general on the part
Of the military departments of the con-
tinent. These balloons are sent up for
the purpose Of keeping watch upon the
movements of an opposing army. The
test made by the United States war de-
partment, however, seems to show that
kites can be employed for the same
purpose with about the same success.
1t is still possible that the modern kite
will supplant the balloon for the pur.
pose of taking observations from con.
siderable altitude, for both as regards
convenience, and as regards economy,
the kite seems to be preferable to the
balloon for such purposes.-Boston Ad-
vertiser.

PRESIDENTIAL STUFF.
Thoss Who Have Attained This Homer
Have All Been Men of Force.

It is remarkable fact that every
president of the United States has been
lawyer with the exception of five,
who have come into office on the tide
of popular sympathy and admiration
| for their services as great war generals.
Lawyers are seldom created by for
tuitous circumstances or by the influ-
ence of their early surroundings, and
the significance of this remark will be
made palmer when it is pointed out
that nearly every president has evil
denced at an early age avery decided
inclination toward the profession of
law, and this tendency among some Of
them could not be diverted by the die
tates of extreme poverty and the total
lack of facilities for education.
Many of them were brilliant men,
Whose education permitted them to
grasp wide variety of technical sub
entific world in general though not
decided way, but dominating and col
oring all their acts and thoughts was
| the one great hereditary handspring of
their lives, how to know and under
stand and appreciate the relation of
man to man, government to govern
ment and finally to control and sway
them through the influence of their le-
gal logic.
There are hosts of lawyers who daz-
zle the public mind by the power and
vigoT of their word picturing, men who
carry juries off their feet by wonderful
bursts Of silver tOngued eloQuCnce, and
yet they are untitled for the presiden-
tial chair simply because they do not
, aid CS-uCt Iv---c-LJc2 the beautiful rule
Fat silence is Golden.
Our presidents without exception,
martial and legal alike, have been not
ed for knowing when to keep their
mouths shut, mon who were not inva-
riubly diplomatic i'll their use of Eng
lish and some who could flavor it up to
the Q1oon's taqto when thoroughly
aroused, but withal inclined to commit
themselves but little, even in the sane
tity Of their family circle, without due
elaboration and the weighing of their
oral acts New York Herald.
