A Legend DESTROYED.

Another familiar legend" says the
Critic, "has been relegated to the limbo
of the untrue, and it is question if
there will be anything left for the next
generation to pin its faith to. This
time it is The Prisoner of Chillon,' be-
loved of and quoted by every school
girl In the cell where the prisoner
languished so long there was shown
circle worn in the stones by his feet
in walking round and round pillar to
which he was chained. NJ. Vuillet, one
OF the members of the grand council
of Vaud, was Mortified to find that, in
repaving the cell, the 'Chemin de Boni-
vard.' one of the souvenirs and attrac-
tions of the country, had disappeared.
He brought the matter before the coun-
Gil, and was chagrined to learn that
the famous track had not been made
by the captive whom Byron made
famous, but had been industriouslv
scraped by successive keepers"

Russia "a Blind Nation

There are more than twice as many
blind persons in Russia as in the whole
OF the rest of Europe They number
$4,000, which is equivalent to two in
every 1000 of the population. 1t is
believed that blindness in Russia is so
prevalent because of the length Of time
which snow lies on the ground, and
also owing to the uncleanly habits of
the people. Among all this number
only 200 or 300 are able to read, and
only about $500 are cared for in in
stitutions for the blind.

Two Natural Foes.

Water will extinguish a fire because
the water forms coating over the
fuel, which keeps 1t from the air, and
the conversion of water into steam
draws off the heat from the burning
fuel. A little water makes a fire
fiercer, while larger quantity Of water
puts 1t out. The explanation is that
water is composed of oxygen and hy-
drogen. When, therefore, the fire can
decompose the water into its simple
elements it serves as fuel to the flame

Can there be any posi- BILE harm In
killing owls for women's hats?" ex-
claimed a New York milliner to a
member of the Audubon Society the
other day. "Of what use are the hor-
rid creatures to anybody?"
The pretty milliner was quite sur
prised when told that owls We're very
useful birds. Owls eat the field mice,
and other small rodents that work
great injury to the farmer, and every
one that is lost not only means a me-
mace to the farmers, but distinct loss
to agriculture.
DR.. c. Hart Merriam, ornithologist of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, has estimated that in Offering
a bounty on owls and hawks, which re-
suited in the killing of more than 100,-
900, the State of Pennsylvania sustain
ed a loss of nearly $4,000 in one
year and half.

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
New Deal in the Missoula Water
Works Plant.
THE BONDS IN PORTLAND
It Is Thought That Extensive Improve
ments to the System Will Be Made,
but Just How Soon No
body Seems to Know.

Missoula. March l6.-There were filed
with the county clerk and recorder to-
day set of instruments which record
the change of owners of the Missoula
Water Works plant. Some time ago it
was reported that new company had
been organized to assume control of
the plant and papers filed to-day con-
firm this report. The first of the
documents was a transfer of the entire
property of the old company to Corne
Illus Sullivan of Portland, for a con-
sideration of 81. Then follow the arti-
cles of Incorporation of The Missoula
Water company of Portland with a
capital stock of $250.000. The directors
named in the articles are Weylar Wood
ward, r. w. Baxter and X. Mallory.
Wylar Woodward. president. and +. Il.
Mallory, secretary, are the officers
named. The consent of the new COM
pany to sue and be sued in this county
is filed with the articles, and Col. T. G.
Marshall is named as the resident at
torneys There is a deed to the new
company from Cornelius Sullivan for all
of the plant for consideration of ST..
The most important document of the
series is a deed of trust from the Mis-
soula Water company to the Security
Savings & Trust company of Portland,
trustee. of the plant of the company,
the consideration being the bonds of
the company. The placing of these
bonds is construed to mean that the
improvements in the plant, which have
for some time been under consideration
will be made before long. The plans
for new fiume line from the upper
Rattlesnake to the distributing reser-
voir of the company have been made
for long time and a start on this work
will probably be made in a short time
1t is also known that the company has
under consideration for some time
general extension and Improvement of
service in the city and suburbs. When
these will be made and how extensive
they will be- has not been decided, but
ii is known that they will greatly in
crease the efficiency of the plant.
Manager Mcleod of the company
said to a Standard reporter in reply to
an inquiry: Il can't say when this
work will be started. We will probably
get to work this season on the new
fiume. but no definite plans have yet
been adopted for the rest of the work.
The growth of the city. especially across
the river and in the north Missoula dis
trict, has made ii necessary to increase
the facilities in these districts as soon
as possible, and IL is hoped that this will
be done soon.
