Remarkable Geyser in South
ern California.

The people OF Southern California
have recently been favored with one
OF the most extraordinary exhibitions
OF natural phenomenon on record, one
which has even astonished beyond
measurement all classes of a commun-
ity familiar already with instances of
what nature can accomplish when 1t
sets out to do something out of the
common.
Southern Californians are said to be
used to shocks Of earthquakes, incip-
lent volcanoes, or threatening tidal
waves, that II takes something extreme
ly erhptlve to disturb their ordinary
eomposure, but the successful effort of
a rural rancher in his search for water
with which to irrigate his fields,
parched with long draught, has
turned the gaze OF the whole state to-
ward the little town OF Whittier,
hamlet located in the neighborhood of
Los Angles.
Some weeks ago farmer near Ny
ers, living at Santa Fe Springs, began
sinking an arteslan we'll. Others in
the neighborhood had successfully
tapped a subterranean flow at depths
OF from 300 to 400 feet and Mr.. Myers
hoped for successful issue to his en-
terprlse. By slow stages the drills
descended until a depth OF 500 feet
was attained This was on Sunday,
May IA. A drill 200 pounds in weight
was employed, and the prospect Of tap
ping a good flow OF water was bsoom-
ing more and more encouraging. A
10 inch pipe had been sunk some dis
tance and the usual preparations made
for controlling the dow when it did
make its expected appearance.
The heavy drill was working with
its usual monotonous regularity when.
after one deep plunge, a loud roaring
sound was heard coming fro mthe wei
accompanied by Jets OF muddy water
and the outburst OF heavy stones.
Soon afterN the drill itself made its an
pearanee, followed by a great column
OF water which forced itself higher and
higher until the top reached an eleva-
tion OF 500 feet. The flo wwas accom-
panied BY vast quantities OF gas smell

How Buffalo Bill Got His
Name.

This is the way in which an English
paper explains how Buffalo Bill OBJ
tanned his famous pseudonym:
THE cablegram announces that Col.
Cody who is remembered in London,
has returned as mayor of Nebraska
No better selection could be made.
Cody was friend of man named
Boone who discovered Kentucky in
1866. After marrying the granddaugh-
ter OF a distinguished gentleman
known as Sitting Bull Frog, Cody was
twice governor of Chicago, and at one
time made mayor of the Arkansas
Legislature. He also served in the
Confederate army, under Ben Butler,
who so gallantly defended New Or
leans aginst Longstreet. The province
OF Detroit rewarded him for his mill
tary services by sending HIM to con-
gress, where he introduced bill for
the relief of the citizens of Buffalo. 1t
was in this way that he got his name
Buffalo" While Mr. Cody has a
large ranch In st. Louis he finds lime
for literature and writes for the Allan
tic Monthly a newspaper edited by
h4ark Twain and Uncle Thomas Cabin,
gentleman who made fame by his
negro dialect sketches.

$500" Water Power.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, July H.
What is probably the heaviest capital
ized hydraulic enterprise ever under
taken is now under way here, with a
500, ,000, 900 company behind 1t. This
company is the Consolidated Lake Su
perior company, which has Just been
organized in Philadelphia, and which
absorbs the Lake Superior Power COM
pany; with its canals in process of
construction on both sides of the st.
Marys river at this point, the Sault
Ste. Marie Paper and Pulp company
and the Tagona Water and Light com
pany, and the plants of the other two
companies; but 1t also comes into pos
ession Of the extensive mineral lands,
docks and railways belonging to the
power company.
The project to make mill pond of
Lake Superior and turn the Soos into
manufacturing cities which will be the
equal of any on the great lakes, has
been the dream Of local capitalists for
years. 1t was undertaken once before
and failed for lack Of capital, and the
partially dug ditcn disfgured the Am
erican 500 for some years, till the
work was taken up again by the Lake
Superior Power company, and now
that this company has Joined the COM
bination of companies made up OF
those which are In one way or another
to benefit by the completion of the
great work, its successful elimination
seems absolutely assured. The work
is well under way on both sides of the
river, and the completion of the Amer
ican canal is called for by the con-
tracts in 1900.
The actual physical energy develop
ed by the canal on the American side
will amount to $4,000 horse power.
This will be transferred into electric
energy in combined power house and
mandatory erected alongside. The
power house is to stand seventy-five
feet high above the water level, be 100
feet wide and 1900 feet in length. The
eastern half of 1t will be devoted to
the manufacture Of colcium carbon,
which is the principal component of
acetylene gas,and manufactured large
ly out OF coke. Auxiliary buildings to
be used in this part Of the operations
will be erected on company ground to
the east Of the power station. The
manufacture Of this product will be
conducted by the Union Carbine com
pany, which controls it throughout the
Unitei States and which has for some
years operated a small plant here.
The company is capitalized at $6,O00,-
OOO The western end of the power
station will be devoted to the manu-
fa>ture OF chemical products by cleo
trolytic methods. This work will be
carried on by the American Alkalka
company, corporation with a capital
of 100000, 900.
The power company is distinct from
the manufacturing companies, which
Will use its power. It's sole functions
are to develop and utilize the water
power created by the fall OF the waters
OF Lake Superior into Lake Huron.
The Industries selected for operation
in conjunction with the water power
company are such as can use to the
best advantage the ram materials ex-
isting in the vicinity of Sault Ste.
Marie, and the remarkable advantages
1t offers for their assefbling.

In former times liniments and plast

cauee people mistook effects for diseas-
es, and attacked q pain where they
found IL. Temporary relief convinced
them they were right, and so they laid
a return of the pain to return of the
complaint, when 10 fact the disease was
there all the time. Backache is not an
aching of the back, but an aching OF
the kidneys, and remedies must reach
the kidneys and be perfect in their
work at that before permanent relief

perfect in their work and permanent in
their cure. A backache gives way at

MAUD OF THE LINKS.

Maud Miller, on summer day,
Was out in the meadow ralSing hay,
Beneath her straw hat glowed a
wealth
OF large. red freekles and rustic health
Singing, she raked and didn't see
The Judge addressing at the tee.
But at last she glanced across the
links
And saw the Judge and sighed: "Oh,
jinksl
"Ill bet If hit that ball whack
They'd never succeed in getting 1t
back!"
The Judge moved onward stroke by
stroke,
Until he got bunkered behind an oak.
Then he stopped for awhile and
scratched his head.
And Maud got scared at the things he
said
He stood and famed himself in the
shade,
And looking over, he saw the maid
He asked for a draught from the jug
she had;
Twas cider she'd carried out to her
dad.
She offered to let him use her cup,
But he took the jug and turned 1t up.
She thought OF the job he had in town,
While his Adams apple went up and
down.
The Judge drank on till she feared
he'd burst,
For the golfer gets terrific thirst.
Then he spoke of the grass. the birds,
the bees,
OF foozles and strokes and puts and
tees.
And Maud forgot the unraked hay,
And wished she could have chance to
play.
The Judge said "Come!" and he
plnched her cheek,
And she swiped away with the Judges
cleek.
They sent the caddle along ahead,
So he couldn't hear what either said.
And they baffed and putted and foozl-
ed around,
Anu sat anu ldlhtu On lHe leelIlB
ground.
She sighed and she thought to herself:
Ah, me!
That l the Judges bride might be!
WED fix up bunkers on fathers place,
And I'd set His Honor beautiful pace
my brother would be caddle then,
And I'd stance with ladies and gentle
men"
But the Judge at last resumed his play,
And Maud went back to raklng hay.
"Bunkered," she sighed, land stym-
led, too!
It's sad old world, Maud Miller, for
YOU"
The Judge moved slowly over the hill,
And he thought sometimes, as Judges
will.
He thought of Maud Millers plump,
brown arms,
And her freckled nose and other
charms.
But there we're his sisters, cold and
proud,
Up at the clubhouse with the crowd.
So he left the treasure that he had
found,
And married woman who bossed him
round.
Oft when the wine in his glass is red,
He longs for the cider jug instead.
Maud married man who couldn't
spell,
