Vanishing Lakes.

Steadily and rapidly the Lake Of
Terlazo, in Southern TyrOl, has been
dwinGling since the beginning Of this
century. In 1887 the greatest depth
was IA metres. the average depth 2 me-
tres. These depths are now only 9.5
metres and is metres, respectively. A
broad bar or shoal, with a depth OF
only metres, runs from one side to
the other, and it is likely that within
a short time the continued, subsidence
Of the water will replace the old lake
by two smaller ones. Seepage, or es-
cape by subterranean channels, is be-
lieYed to be the cause of the subsidence.
The same process is going on in
Lake Rikwa, also called Lake Leopold,
in Africa. The lake in 1891 had an
area Of only ninety square miles. 1t is
surrounded by extensive marshes, and
not only these, but large areas near
by; now covered with luxuriant vege-
tation, were formerly included in the
lake, according to the natives. The
whole region is still impossible in the
rainy season.

A heron, which had been fishing in a
pond near Milton House. at Milton
Park, Peterhorqueh, England, captured
a fine fish, whichit brought up strug-
Cling at the end Of its long bill. when
another heron, which had been watch
ing from the shore, plunged into the
water and tried to take away the fsh.
A desperate combat ensued, as both
birds were full grown and powerful.
They fought with bill and wing, deal
ing out hard knocks rapidly, and utter
ing shrieks OF anger. So furiously
ragged the duel that the combatants
raised cloud Of feathers round them.
Suddenly one rolled over, and the
other, uttering a victorious frank"
the heron's peculiar cry, and gathering
up its long legs, SCARED to the trees,
where 1t began preening its disordered
plumes. An examination proved that
the other bird had been killed outright

MR.. NEALoN's ORDINANCE.
Provides for a $500 Street superin.

Thomas Nealon, the Democratic rep
resentative of the Third ward, in Sc
lect council, has introduced an ordin-
ance reducing the city engineers sal
airy from $1,000 to 500 per annum and
providing for a street commissioner at
a salary of $500, in which action he
was doubtless prompted by Cunsidera-
tion for the best interest Of his con-
stitutents.
Good intentions, however, and good
legislation are very often very differ
ent. 500 year viii not secure the
services OF city engineer such as
Carbondale's importance demands and
much less viii it employ a commits
sioner schooled in the science of road
building. In it's details the ordinance
is open to severe criticism but This
brief outline ought to be enough t,
show that the best interests of the
community require a prompt and de.
cisiYe negative vote.
