Of 100 acres. It's Surface is a few
feet higher than the ground immedi-
ately around it, having been lifted up
by the pressure from below. The ma
terial Of the lake is solid to a depth Of
several feet, except in a few spots in
the center, where 1t remains soft, but
usually not hot or boiling. But as the
condition of the softest part varies, it
may be that it boils sometimes. The
surface of the lake is marked by
assures two or three feet wide, and
slightly depressed spots. all of which
are filled with rainwater In going
about one has to pick his way among
the larger puddles, and jump many of
the smaller connecting streams Each
of the hundreds of irregular portions
separated by this network of assures
is said to have slow, revolving mo-
ton upon a horizontal axis at right
angles to a line from the center of
the lake, the surface moving toward
the circumference. This motion is sup
posed to be caused by the great daily
change in temperature, often amount
ing to 80 degrees, and an unequal up
ward motion of the mass below, in
creasing toward the center of the lake.
A few patches of shallow earth lying
on the pitch and covered with bushes
and small trees are scattered over the
surface of the lake

A Watch as a Compass.

Very few people are aware of the fact
that in a watch they are always pro-
vided with a compass, with which
when the sun is shining the cardinal
points can be determined. All one has
to do is to point the hour hand to the
sun, and south is exactly half way be-
tween the hour and the figure II on the
watch. This may seem strange to the
average reader but it is easily explain
ed. While the sun is passing over $50
degrees (east or west) the hour hand
of the watch passes over $50 degrees
from o'clock to 6 o'clock) There
fore the angular movement of the sun
in one hour corresponds to the angular
movement of the hour hand in half an
hour; hence, If we point the hour hand
toward the sun the line from the point
midway between the hour hand and l.
o'clock to the pivot Of the hands will
point to the south.

Mrs. Alice Brewer Commits Suicide
at San Diego.
Was the Wife Of a Prominent Citizen Of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Believed That Her Attachment For
the California City and Her Re-
1uctance to Return to Her East
ern Home Led to Her Commit
ting the Fatal Act.

SAN DIEGO, July 26.-Mrs. Alice
Aiken Brewer Of Milwaukee, Wis, who
arrived here six months ago for her
health, and has since been a guest Of
the Horton House in this city, COM
mitted suicide in her room at the hotel
last night by shooting herself through
the head with a revolver, the ball en-
tering the brain behind the right ear.
She was a woman aged about 30
years, of attractive appearance. Her
husband, Hugo Brewer, prominent re-
tired real estate dealer of Milwaukee,
arrived here only about three weeks
ago to join her. So far as known, the
couple were on apparently good terms,
but occupied separate rooms at the ho-
tel
There are strong rumors that the
woman was attached to San Diego, and
was determined to remain here, hence
her husband came to endeavor by per-
sonal solicitation to get her to return
East with him. She had steadily re-
fused his opportunities until recently,
and they had finlly agreed to leave for
the East this morning. He would not
leave without her, and after consul
tation last night she evidently decided
TO end it all by the suicide route.

husband, which she left on a table,
saying that she had concluded this was
the best way to end their troubles. AS
near as can be ascertained, at about
midnight she laid down on her bed,
fully dressed, and fired the fatal shot.
The body will be cremated at her re-
quest made in the letter referred to.
The Coroner's jury this morning evil
IDENTIFY concluded at their first session
that the cause of death was not en-
tirely definite, and have ordered post

Mrs. Bemer had improved in health
materially, her trouble being nervous
ness and insomnia, and she was de-
lighted with the place and it's benefi

cheerful, and made many friends. She
made a speciality of the study of sea
mosses, plants and other forms of veg
etable life, spending considerable time
on the sea shore making collections.
She had seemed less cheerful the past
few days, and made no secret of the
fact that she regretted having to leave
here for the East, and 1t is considered
probable that in brooding over her pro-

AGNEWS ASYLUM.
Investigation Of It's Affairs Begun
YESTERDAY.

SAN JOSE, July 26-The investiga-
tion of Agnews affairs is on to-day, and
a big lot of officials are there. Gov
ernor Budd, Attorney General FitZger-
aid, DR.. Hatch, Secretary Brown, Mat
thews and others of the officials are
present, as Well as all the members of
the local board
1t was after 10 before the investigat-
ors met, and then, to the disgust of an
army of newspaper reporters, the board
went into executive session. What
went on behind the closed doors was
not for those outside to know. At noon,
however, a recess for lunch was taken,
and Secretary T. S. Montgomery of the
board was hurried away to San Jose
for papers and documents. Just what
these were had not yet become public,
but it is a fact that he hurried off for
something deemed of Importance.
Erwin Frost, who says he was en-
ployed by White to investigate DR..
Sponogle, is there as well as others
who have figured in the scandal.
The officials have been exceedingly
nom n-committal all day. The best infor
nation obtainable is that the board has
determined to go into a thorough in
vestigation. If this proves true there
may be some lively scenes in the board
rooms before it is over. The interested
parties are represented by attorneys,
and some days may be consumed in the
search for truth.
Governor Budd presides, and Attor-
ney General Fitzgerald conducts the
examination or proceedings. This morn
ing the members of the local board
were taken in before the investigators
one at a time. AS to what took place
each one refuses SO far to speak. 1t
was talked around the building, how
ever, that the investigation might con-
tinue all week.

CHARLES o. BRANT.
The Murdered Man Well Known at
Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, July 26-Charles Q.
Brant, who was murdered in St. Louis
last night, was the brother-in-law OF
J. M. Sutton, whose sister was married
to the late George Ainsworth Of Oak
land. Brant, while clerk at the Redon-
do Hotel, met and courted Miss Hard
ing but her father strongly opposed the
match. An elopement followed, and the
couple We're married in New York.
Mr. and Mrs. Brant returned here.
Divorce proceedings We're instituted,
beginning a year ago, and on the 18TH
of April last Judge Smith of the Supe-
rior Court here granted a decree to
Mrs. Brant, mainly because of the
claim of inability to support. The fa-
ther was active in the proceedings.
Young Brant was extremely popular
here in social circles, and was highly
thought of.

CARPENTER INQUEST.
Not Sufficient Evidence to Connect
Lochner With the Crime.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26. - The
Coroner's jury in the case Of Mrs Sa-
die Carpenter, who was found murdered
in the early hours of Sunday morning,
July 11th, deliberated but a few min
utes this morning, when they returned
the following verdict:
And we further find that Sadie Car
penter same to her death through
strangnlation by party or parties un-
known to the jury"
There was not sufficient evidence to
connect Joseph Lochner with the crime.
The prisoner, nevertheless, was taken
back to jail, pending a consultation
of the detectives with the Chief of Po-
lice. The inquest concluded after one
hours session.
Immediately after Captain Seymour's
return to the City Hall from the Coro-
ner's inquest an order was given to re-
lease Joseph Lochner. 1t came in the
nature of a surprise, for it was be-
lieved that the police would make an
effort to have jury review the affair.

Difficult Rhymes.

You can't" says Tom to lisping Bill,
Find any rhyme for month"
"A great mithtake," was Bills reply,
I'll find a rhyme at onth.''
There are certain words in the Eng
lish language which present almost in
superabe difficulties to the would be
poet, and of such words month" is
facile princeps and orange proxime
accessit. However, as in the above
example, certain of the more inventive
have surmounted the difficulty, though
it must be admitted, only by compound
ing two words, or distorting, splitting
and otherwise spelling one Better
than most is Christina Rosettfs exam
pie in her "Sing-Song Nursery
Rhymes:
How many weeks in a month?
-Four as the swift moon runn'th.
This is distinctly better than the eff
forts of numerous lispers, who confess
their inability to rhyme to month, u
although they could do it "wunth." Less
grammatical but more funny is the uni
versity mans attempt:
How sweet it is to toll from month to
month,
Working equations from. the one-plus-
oneth.
Father Prout has left on record a full
and frank confession Of his inability to
find a rhyme for this difficult word He
says in a long poem, which achieves
the rhymeless at the end Of every verse:
We parted at the gate in June,
That soft and ba,lmy month,
Beneath the sweetly beaming moon
And (wunth, hunth, bunth, sunth-
/ can't find a. rhyme. to month).
Notwithstanding all these failures to
find perfect rhyme, however, there is
one example which may be said to hit
the mark. It is ascribed to w. S. Gill
bert, and includes not only a rhyme to
month" but also to orange" 1t
runs:
From the Indus to the Blorange
Came the rajah in a month,
Sucking now and then his orange,
Counting all the while his Grunth.
This Isl the only perfect instance, and
even this is not perfect, for, though the
Irish river Blorange is an absolute
rhyme to orange" yet it is a kind of
rhymeless blasphemy to pronounce the
name Of the Hindus holy book as if it
rhymed with month" It's real pro-
nunciation is 'Grunt'; but, lest the
poor word under discussion should go
forever minated, we may all admit that
the final "h' is no just cause or impedi-
ment. and that this is no time to talk of
proper pronunciations.
There are many amusing attempts
with regard to orange" The follow
ing is good sample; it also includes the
lemon:
/ gave my darling child a lemon
That lately grew its fragrant stem on,
And next, to give her pleasure more
range,
/ offered her juicy orange
And nuts-she cracked them in the door
hinge.

CLEVELAND (O), July 26.-Per-
formances at the second day of the
Grand Circuit meeting at the Glenville
track were not of the phenomenal
brand. The best race of the day was
the last, in which Klatawah, the SEN
sational California stallion, got away
with the first two miles, but went up
In the third heat and trailed the big
field in. He spoiled three scores in
the fourth, and there were indications
that he would never get away, but
finally he got the proper gait and clung
to 1t. From the last position in field
OF fourteen he took the pole away from
Pentland long before the first turn was
reached and after that Klatawah was
the only horse in the chase, although
everybody expected him to leave his
feet at any moment. Summary:
