FACTS ABOUT LAKE SUPERIOR.

|
 Lake Superior, to begin with, is the largest body of fresh water in the world. It is water of wonderful pur-
 ity, which ii holds, too; and some time and in the not very distant future either, the people who live in the large cities to the west and south will come to this lake to get the water for their hCmes It will not be so remarkable an engineering feat to pipe the water of this lake, pure and sparkling and fresh from its cold depths to these cit
 ies which are now struggling with the
 question of their water supply and
 meeting all sorts of difficulties in their
 efforts to get water fit to drink
 All down through this thousand feet
 of blue there is peculiar coldness At
 the very most the temperature varies
 through the winter and summer not
 more than degrees. Winter and sum-
 mer this great lake never changes to
 any appreciable extent, so that if you
 dip your finger tips in the blue sur
 face on a day in July, or If you test 1t
 some day in the early winter when you
 have been out on some belated. ice
 mailed fishing smack, or when you have gone out to watch the fishermen spearing their supplies through the thick ice in midJanuary you will find but trifling difference in the tempera- ture. Away down at the bottom, too. there is but little variation in the tenn perature, for it stands at nearly 40 de- grees Fahrenheit at the bottom. and varies from 40 to 46 degrees winter and summer at the surface. The other lakes though cold are not in this re- spect like Superior.
 The whole bottom of the lake is be- lieved to be a strong rock basin, though 1t would seem that there must be great springs at the bottom to help keep up the enormous volume of water From the north there is large amount of water pouring into the lake year in and year out, the swift-rushing, mar row banked Nipigon and other streams furnishing no small part of the supply. These streams in a large measure make up for the loss on the surface. One of the old lake captains, bronzed, kindly faced man, who had been for thirty five years on the lakes and had faced death many 8 time in the frightful storms which sometimes sweep across these beautiful bodies of water, told me, as we were passing along near the north coast of Superior, with the head lands and inlets and glossy green bluffs of that most picturesque shore in full view. that the theory that the lake is slowly going down in size was true He th;' he could tell from cer- tain landmarks along the shores, with which he is as familiar as he would be with the streets of his old Scottish that the lake was slowly very slowly-but surely receding How ever. it will be some centuries yet be- fore there will be any appreciable less ening of the great lakes, so that we need not be concerned.
 Strange a3 it may seem, the lake has tides. too-well- l-defined tides. dis covered in 1860. It is what is called a tide, with a regular fiux and refiux wave, caused, so the scien- tific men say, by the sun and moon. The average rise and fall every twenty-four hours is 14-1O0 of a foot; the maxi mum at new and full moon is 2S-10O of a foot

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, May 21-As a result of the Calls work In sounding the note of alarm to the people of Sacramento in the matter of the prison sewage at Folsom polluting American River D. A. Lindley has addressed the following report to the Chamber of Commerce: To the Board of Directors, Sacramento, Chamber of Commerce-Gentlemen Pub lie attention having been called to the sewage dumped into the American River at the State Prison, visited the prison last Saturday for the purpose of ascer- tafnfng if it would be easonable to re- quest the proper authorities to correct the evil William Graham, civil and hydrau- hc engineer at Auburn, met me by ap pontment at Folsom and rendered ma terial and valuable assistance in the in- vestigation.
 abate the nuisance would be entirely within reason and the problem very sim pie. We found the evil of considerable less magnitude than the community had been led to believe, but, nevertheless, one which should be abated. We found the prison authorities alive to the situation and abundantly able to take care of the matter promptly soon as funds can be provided. Their efforts to render the evil as innocuous as possible with the present 1acilltles of disposal are to be commended. l would suggest that a committee be appointed to wait on the prison directors at Folsom this coming Saturday to peti-
 
 State Board of Examiners to create a de- nciency of from ten to fifteen thousand dollars for the purpose of disposing of this sewage, which can be done either by fil- teration, incineration, or on sewage farm as the prison directors may deter mine.
 Prior to visiting the prison. A. J. Bru- ner,- Secretary Coleman and myself called on the State officials here and we have every reason to believe the request for deficiency will be granted. Respectful ly submitted
 D. A. LINDLEY, President
 A committee from the Chamber of Commerce attended a meeting of the Board of Prison Directors tonight at Foisom, and were successful in obtain ing from the board the request to the Board of Examiners for deficiency sufficient to. erect the necessary plant at the prison. Thus an abuse of twenty years standing ic about to be abated through the endeavors of The Call.

WHALERS
 SAID TO
 BE LOST Five of the Fleet Are Reported Crushed. RUMOR FROM POINT BARROW MEAGER DETAILS RECEIVED BY HUME BROTHERS. News Sent by Their Agent at Kar- luck by Way of seattle-The
 Number of Men in
RUMOR FROM POINT BARROW
MEAGER DETAILS RECEIVED
 BY HUME BROTHERS.

Five whaling vessels are reported here as having been caught in the ice off Point Barrow early in the fall. The news comes to Hume Bros, the we'll known packing house, from their agent at Seattle, who Is said to have received the intelligence from an agent, Charles Pfaff, at Karluk
 The letter says that few details have been received. A Norwegian sailor had brought the news to the ef- feet that the fleet was total loss He also reports the loss of the sealing schooner Alexandria, which the North American Commercial Company had sent with the supplies to the northern stations.
 The Hume Brothers give credit to the authenticity of the news and attribute the paucity of details to the belief that Pfaff had barely time to catch a south bound vessel.
 The latest heard of the whaling fleet was brought down by Third Mate Walker of the steamer Orca. Walker crossed m Point Barrow to Mackenzie River, and brought news up to November 1 last. At that time 1S6 whalers were camped near Point Bar row.
 he steamer Orca had been crushed in the ice and the Freeman had been burned, so that the fleet remaining in the ice was composed of the steamers Belvedere and Fearless, the steam tender Jeannie, the schooner Rosario and the bark Wanderer.
 All these vessels were fast in the ice, but Walker declared that there should be no difficulty in their getting out as soon as the ice broke up in the spring.
 It is thought that the ice must have broken up suddenly and great foes crushed the imprisoned vessels before they could reach clear water.
 This disaster places 1S6 men in great peril, as, if they did not save the stores from the ships, they may run out of supplies before the relief expedition, now on the way from St. Michael, can reach them.

will try to follow Admiral Ger vera's tactics. Every one agrees that these tactics deserve un- stinted admiration. Their incon- trovertible success proves how in- adequate were the measures taken by the strategical board in Wash ington to counteract them. It is possible, then, that the reserve squadron may effect conjunction with Cervera's forces, which, in the meantime, are quite safe from persecution, or may descend upon American coast towns left unde- tended by the enforced stay in the Antilles of the American fleet, owing to the necessity of keeping Admiral Cervera's force shut up in Santiago Bay.
 One point all parties are agreed upon-that is, Admiral Cervera's squadron should not again be lost sight of, now that it has once been definitely located. This, then, is the situa ton. Admiral Cervera has shown himself a superior strat- egiSt to Americas admiral. He has succeeded in entering without diff flculty a place of perfect safety. His presence immobilizes the blockading squadron, and the re- serve fleet now at Cadiz is left free to follow out any line of pol icy that seems best to the Spanish naval authorities.

ARE NOW PRAISING
 AMERICAN STRATEGY.
Certain Newspapers of Paris Coming Out Boldly in Favor of
 Uncle Sam

NEW YORK, May 21.-A dispatch from Paris says: There are remarkable indications in certain Paris journals hitherto inimical of complete reversal of the French disposition toward America
 The Gaulois, for example, extoIs the cleverness with which Admiral Sampson has maneuvered, taking advantage of his opponents slowness to effect a junction with Schley and thus enable him to divide the forces into two parts
 M Jaures, in the Petite Republioue writes in the same strain of Americas admirable attack and defense. which have been directed with energy and life"
 M. Jaures derides Spain for allowing herself to be made the sport of clerical ism and militarism.
 There is also a strong article in the Echo de Paris, signed Henry Beaure. calling French hostility to her ancient friends and clients beyond the Atlantic foolish and illogical France" the writer says, lis naturally drawn to America as a republic and should not give way to sudden tenderness for Spain"

SAYS CERVERA HAS

Vice-Admiral Columb Thinks the Spanish Admiral Has Blum
 dered Fatally.

LONDON, ENG,, May 2I.-Ac- cor ding to the best expert opinion in London if Admiral Cervera has gone to Santi- ago de Cuba he has made a fatal mistake. Vice Admiral Philip Howard Columb, retired, the au- thor Of number of naval works. including "The Naval War Game" writes that he is con- vinced the Spanish Admiral is now unlikely to strike at all. He adds that if he enters a.south Cuban port it will scarcely effect the United States blockade, for Rear Admiral Sampson will only have to detach a somewhat superior force Of his heavier ships to cover Cervera'S fleet, while a group of the lightest and sWiftest vessels would be watching to see that he did not move without being re- ported, and all the rest of Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet could devote themselves to the blockade of the other Cuban ports.

by laws man who studies these laws of nature carefully and reduces them to sci ence, can count on exact results every time.
 A doctor knows that certain remedies affect certain diseases.
 When disease seems to have no remedy the doctors pronounce 1t iucurable. All the time Nature may have the remedy right at hand. but it will only be discovered by the doctor who has studied longer and deeper than others into this particular disease.
 Consumption seemed for long time with. out a remedy until Dr. Pierce made his wonderful "Golden Medical Discovery" 30 years ago. It has proved to be marvellous and almost unfailing specific for consump- ton and all forms of lung, bronchial and throat difficulties.
 Its effects seem almost magical but its op- eration is based upon simple natural laws. It has the peculiar property of enabling the blood making glands to manufacture healthy, red blood and pour 1t abundantly into the circulation. This nourishng, vital. izing effect IS rapidly manifested in the lungs and bronchial tubes where it stops the wasting process and builds up healthy tissue.
 It is readily assimilated by stomachs which are too weak to digest cod liver oil, and it is far superior to malt as perma- nent and scientific flesh builder in al. wasting diseases.
 ''Twenty-hve years a 20 eight different doctors told me that would live but short time that had consumption and must die. writes Geo. R. Coope, Esq, of Myers Valley, Pottawatomie Co.,, Kans.

TWELVE SPANISH SHIPS REPORTED
 DESTROYED
Continued from First Page.

Spaniards will not think of returning tC
 Spain without meeting our vessels and
 hence that if they do not remain n
 Santiago harbor they will make for
 Cienfuegos with all speed. It is true
 that Santiago harbor is naturally the
 best fitted for defensive purposes. but
 as no railroads reach there any SUD
 plies landed for Blanco would be seized
 by Garcia's insurgents which now in
 fest southeast Cuba Even if the ex- petition succeeded in eluding the rebels these supplies would have to be hauled three hundred miles overland
 Although Admiral Cervera has been congratulated upon eluding our yes sels and entering Santiago harbor, his mission has not yet been successful,
 for he crossed the Atlantic to bring supplies and ammunition to General Blanco. For him to now return to Spain without having either delivered his goods or engaged our fleets would as dangerous to the welfare of the tot tering Spanish Government.
 For these reasons it is very generally believed that Admiral Sampson will either bottle them up in Santiago har- Dor or else he or Commodore Schley will catch them at Cienfuegos.
 Censored reports from Key West and Tampa bring very little definite infor- nation concerning the military expedi- tion to Cuba, yet being read between the lines convey covert intimations that the troops are soon to embark. This agrees with reports from Tampa. The correspondent at that point, after wiring that unusual activity prevails in army circles there, and that impor- tant developments are expected con- cludes his dispatch by complaining of the rigid censorship" now instituted by order of General Shafter.
 There was also a great commotion in the War Department to-day. All of this indicates that the troops are being made ready for the invasion, which may occur on any day.
 DS OIuel StLulH6 lllc COdSl ueI6nSe vessel Monterey to re-enforce Dewey indicates that Spains announced inten- ton of sending troops to the Philippines Is no longer discredited by the War and Navy department officials.
 The Navy Department officials are great events to occur at any What they most fear is the effect that might be produced upon our people by greatly exaggerated and mis- leading reports from Spanish sources ,f some great naval engagement if the Spaniards should claim the victory. It S realized that the first news of an en- in the neighborhood of Cuba ,ff to the eastward may reach the United States through the Spanish cables via Madrid, and these are al- most certain, no matter what the result nay be, to make claim of victory for he Spanish.

Jamaica, May 21-A letter received here yesterday from Santiago de Cuba under date of May 15 says that Col onel CastelI de Bourbon, chief of the guerrillas In Eastern Cuba, has been imprisoned for an assault upon a young Cuban girl. The girl was one of a family who had fled to Santiago for protection from the insurgents, having obtained safe conduct of Ca prilles. Colonel Castelvi de Bourbon made advances which the girl indig- nantly rejected. During the night she was kidnapped, and when an attempt was made 70 rescue her in the streets of Santiago three of her male relatives were murdered. Colonel Castelvis guard at the time were acting under orders of General Toral, military chief of Santiago.
 A few days before this affair, while a party of insurgents were conveying arms and ammunition to General Garcia from Santiago, near the vil- lage of Cabre, they saw a flock of vul- lures. On investigation they discov- cred the bodies of twelve persons, all of them horribly mutilated. Eight of the women were identified later as party which had left Santiago for the country, owing to the lack of food supplies. They had been followed by a band of Castelvi's guerrillas. The men, after assaulting the women, shot them.

WOMEN AS ZOOLOGIsTs

The committee for the endowment of an American woman's table at the ZOO logical station at Naples has succeeded in the first task set for itself, and is now securing funds to be applied to the expenses of the successful candidates
 It IS the belief of the committee that the usefulness of the table will be much increased and the appointment of the best qualified Women-irrespective of their ability to meet the expenses of a years residence in Naples-insured if at least ten annual subscriptions of $50 each are placed in it's hands to be thus applied. The effort has been made to obtain subscriptions from the governing boards of colleges for women, coedu- cational colleges or universities having a special endowment for women stu dents, women's departments of univer- sities for men, or associations for the furtherance of women's education. The New York Tribune states that eight of the colleges and associations represent ed in the committee have subscribed to the table: Bryn Mawr Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, Wellesley the Associa- tion of Collegiate AIumnae and the committee on science lessons of the Womans Educational Association of Boston. The geological station at Ma pies was founded in 1872 by Professor Anton Dohrn for the collection of bio logical material and for the study of all forms of plant and animal life. Un- der his personal direction the station has developed into an international in- stitution of vast importance for scien- tific research and for the professional training of the students Of all coun- tries. Contributions to the support of this institution have been hitherto in great part personal tributes to the genius of the director. It seemed de- sirable that a permanent endowment be attempted.-Chi Times Herald

MAKES IRON D1GEsT1BLE.

On account of the difficulty of assim- Hating iron as medicine, as it gen. orally fatigues the stomach, French man has sought to introduce 1t into the stomach in a digestible manner by what he terms ferruginous eggs. Hens can digest iron easily, while rendering it back through the albumen of their eggs in form which is easily digested by the weaker stomachs of mankind. A salt of iron is given to the hens with grains of wheat. A dozen of these medicated grains of wheat day make the hens, after three or four days. lay eggs which are very rich In iron al- ready digested. d.-Philadelphia Record.

Naval Men of France Say the Admiral Scored q

 PARIS, May 2I.-The general opinion is that Cervera has scored the first blood in very skillful strategical movement. He is safe In a harbor absolutely impregna- ble, defended by four forts and so narrow at the entrance that any attempt to force 1t would be fool hardy in the extreme. He is thus master of the situation. While he remains there the blockading fleet must keep in the neighborhood. He thus renders them useless should Spain decide to send re- serve fleet to harass the American coast.
 Naval experts here call atten- tion to Senor de Bernabe's s remark about a heavy blow being struck before the war is over. The in- dustry with which the report that reserve squadron is to be sent to Manila is Icing circulated in Madrid and other Spanish agencies arouses suspicion in the minds of those whose opinion is of the greatest authority, both on ac- count of their eminent position as naval authorities and their great experience. They dwell with en- phasis upon the skiIlful way in which Spain has misled public opinion-as, for ex ample, the famous dispatch announcing the return to Cadiz of Cervera's squadron.
 At the present moment Manila is in every ones mouth. They say a squadron must be sent to Manila. Infantry and artillery must be sent to Manila. The Spanish navy must avenge the defeat in the Philippines before Manila itself.
 The Herald's Valencia corre- spondent judiciously observes to- day in this connection that, al- though all preparations and public announcements point to the Philip pines as the destination of the troops being concentrated at Valencia and any battle-ships which are to accompany them from Cadiz, many military and l naval authorities whisper that the l expedition will probably sail Tn the opposite direction. At any rate, it would not be safe to as- sume the expedition is going to Manila until it has passed through the Suez Canal. This opinion is generally held there.
 There seems every reason to be- lieve that the reserve squadron
