Perhaps the engineers of the day were not suffi-
GENTLY acquainted with the science Of hydrostatics
to know that water would always rise to level
with it's source if confined. Nor did they perhaps,
reflect where the sources Of these abundant springs
were hidden.
The Lebanon chain near by has it's highest sum-

round about in every direction, but fills the subterra-

Through the assures of the limestone rock these
ervors discharge themselves in the fountain Of the
precipice and the spring of the meadow.
The wise constructor of the monuments here
erred to conceived the idea Of eevatng these waters
by cisterns of masonry built around the springs
thirty and forty feet in diameter and thirty feet high;
before doing which, however, he caused to be cut
down to great depth in steps converging towards
the centre. The water, thus confined rose, and still
rises, sufficiently high to be carried by aqueduct

About a month ago Willie Dugmore, 4

pulse was to brain the pest with a
baseball bat, but the rat looked at him
so p!eadingly that Willie's heart was

to an adjoining vacant lot and liberaie
the animal. Thistle did, but instead Of
scampering off, as he expected, the rat
limped painfully up to him and began
to lick his hand. Willie then discovered
that one of the animals legs had been
almost severed by the trap.
Taking the rat home, he cut the leg
off and then bandaged the wound, using
as a iinimeut little vaseline. lie then
put the rat into a cage and nursed ii

Report of Siau ghter of Russian Soldiers

Religious Origin.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE re-
port of an unexpected attack by 1,O0G
natives on Russian post, garrisoned
by 300 infantry, at Andijan, Ferghana
province, Turkestan, is confirmed.
The uprising, in which 20 soldiers
were killed and as many more wound
ed, was of purely religious origin
and due to the intrigucs of the Mussul-
man priesthood, who, excited by Tur-
keys victory over Greece, promoted
the outbreak, with the most serious re-
verse to the Russian arms sustained
in central Asia IN many years.
The leader of the band, a high Mus

Greece was badly whipped.
To the superstitious the name cur
rently given to our conflict with Spain
may, by analogy, seem an augury of sue
cess for our arms. Europe calls it the
Spanish-American war. An objection
to the name is that il gives rise to am
biguities, as the term Spanish-Ameri-
can is commonly used to designate the
various countries of South America.
Perhaps for this reason there is a grow

names is the jealousy with which il re-
