The next moment he was gone, and
heard him running down the stairs. 1t
would take few minutes to get Cou-
rome ready, but I followed him down
at once, as I had an inquiry to make
from Nine. Pantin. heard some one
moving below in the kitchen, and,
thinking it was dame Annette, called
down the winding stair.
"Mme.-Mme. Pantin."7

How was it you were not in to re-

There was'a quick up and down move

was trying to carry the war into my
country, as it were, by counter ques-
tons to mine. I therefore cut him
short, and added:
"Your illness came and went very
suddenly. Are you often taken that
way?"
"Then monsieur knows"
"a great many things, perhaps; but
kindly answer my question"
1t may have been fancy or not; but
it seemed to me that, as once before, l
saw the wrath of smile fit stealthily
along his thin lips. He was standing
in front of me, holding my rapier, and
his eyes bent down on the polished steel
hilt as spoke.
At first he made no answer. and re-
peated my question. This time he
looked me full in the face, and the
whole expression of the man changed.
His cheeks paled. His eyes dilated.
His voice took shrill pitch.

UTILIZING FOGS.
The Problem to Which Californis
Agriculturists Are Invited to
Address Themselves.

Herbert Earlscliffe, of Santa Bar
para, CAL, has communicated to the
weather bureau, through the chamber
If commerce of Los Angeles, a sugges-
ion relative to fog that should call
:orth all the inventive genius of Amer
ca. Mr.. Earlscliffe says:
I'm California there are vast areas
If valuable land where the water sup
,ly is insufficient. Nature has endeav-
bred to correct this by sending in heavy
:ogs laden with moisture, and it only
'emains for the ingenuity of man to
Utilize this. These fogs generally come
n from the ocean at night during the
Try summer months, when most need
ID, but are dissipated early in the morn
ng by the sun. Here is ample moisture
drought to our very doors if we could
gut discover some simple and practical
method of condensing or precipitating
t on large SCALE"
It certainly is tantalizing to think OF
his immense quantity of moisture
present and visible but unavailable.
Neither science nor art at present can
.uggest any feasible method of causing
his fog to descend in refreshing drops
If rain. On the other hand, the green
segetation at the SUBMITS of many
mountains has often been observed to
De due essentially to cloud or fog and
lot to rain; it may, therefore, be hoped
hat along the coast of California some
levice will soon be introduced that shall
latch the fog particles as they float
along and force them to trickle down in
gentle streams of water so as to moisten
the earth. We do not propose to con-
lense or precipitate the atmospheric
moisture in the ordinary sense of those
words, but simply to catch it as the
leaves of the trees do. We recall the so
called drip from every rock and twig
on the summit of Table mountain at
Cape Town, and especially on the sum-
NIT of Green mountain, in the island OF
Ascension, and the dampness of the
rocks on Pixies Peak, and we cannot
doubt but that in many spots through
out the globe vegetation is kept alive
by the small amount of moisture that
is caught on the leaves, and, dripping
thence to the ground, is soaked up by
the roots of the plant. In fact, there
are several plants whose leaves and
branches are SO arranged as to facili-
tatg Hkip and the collection of. moisture
by 9hf sfocess.
What is needed by the agriculturist
On the California coast is some simple
mechanical arrangement by which the
quantity of fog particles shall be inter-
cepted as they flow past any given
plant, and shall be forced to drip or
glide downward into the ground at the
root of the plant. Any fan-shaped ar
rangement of sticks or slate that in
creases the area exposed to the fog
should apparently increase the quanti-
ty of moisture carried down to the
roots. Mechanical devices, the ex-
plosion of dynamite, refrigerating ap-
paratus and other analogous devices
are likely to be too expensive in COM
parison with the return they make

kENNeBEC AND SOMERSET FIBRE cos.
TO Form Larger Company. with An Exten-
sion Of the Business.

Fairfield. Me. June 13.-(SpeciaD.-
II. NJ. Mansfield, the superintendent of
the Somerset Fibre Co., stated, yester-
day, that there is no truth in the rumor
that the Somerset Fibre 60. has sold
its property to the trust, ana that no
talk of such move had been made by
the company.
He said he knew the rumOr was rife
that such a move had been made but
no action which had been taken by the
company or which was contemplated
would warrant such report. He
thought the story might have started
from the fact that a move is on foot
to sell the plants Of the Somerset and
the Kennebec Fibre Cos. To larger
company which viii bc known as the
Somerset & Kennebec Fibre 60. The
management win be the same.
The survey for the extension Of the
electric road owned by the company
has been completed ana in a few days
the plans will be drawn for the extern
sion. 1t is the plan to extend the road
to the island whore the plant is located
and not to ShaWmut as has generally
been supposed work viii be com
mencsd on the extension in very
short time, probably before the first of
August
At the same time the managers Of
the Fibre 60. are making preparations
to extend the plant of the company.
The plans are now nearly finished ana
work On them will soon be- commenced.
The first step will be to put up the pulp
mill, ana at the same time TN" pup
mil is built the management will have
an eve to the future and will make ar
rangemonts 50 that later On the manu-
facture of paper will be carried on il
The same building.
When tn. building is complcted en-
ployment viii u" given To moro than
double the number Of mon who are now
employed by the same company.
From the very first the Electric road
which has been built between the
plants Of the Somerset Fibre 60. ana
the Kennebec Fibre Go. in Benton
Falls. has been a financial success.
while the road was built primarily for
the purpose Of hauling freight, UT the
passenger service which has been con-
Quoted has been found perfect sue
cess both financially and every other
wav. The "bobtail" ear which at one
time was run over the road has been
replaced by another car of modern
type. there being nothing like it in this
part of the state. Instead Of having
the seats at the side as with the ordi-
nary street car the seats are arranged
like those in railroad trains. The new
road viii be built in the same subst2n-
tiaI manner in which the Benton Pen
ton Falls Road is built.
