Of Half a Million Dollars
Made.
Purchase of Illinois Property HAS
Been Completed.

There is considerable amount OF
Akron capital invested in the electric
lines of Illinois. one of the more re-
cent purchases was the property of
the Aurora Street Railway Co. This
line is to be consolidated with num-
Der of other roads making n system
extending from Aurora to Elgin and

Myron III. Wilson, of Cleveland, secre-
Reserve Trust Company, has returned
from Chicago, where he has made the
payment necessary to complete the
sale necessary for the purchase of the
securities of the Aurora Street Rail
ways, and the Aurora x Geneva Rail
way. These securities have been in the
First National bank in escrow, where
the additional deposit has been made
by the Cleveland & Akron syndicate,
which has purchased the properties
pending an examination of the books
by certified accountants. This exam
ination has been completed, and shows
the condition of the two properties
to be exactly as stated previous to the
sale having been made, and conse-
quently the deal is completed. The
road has cost about $500O00. The

peep Sea specimens.


Even in the tropics, the temperature
of the water at the bottom of the ocean
is only about 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
and it does not vary at all from sum-
mer to winter, says Pearson's Maya
zine. 1t follows, then, that the abys-
sal fishes, though residing in the neigh
borhood of the equator, are accustom-
ed to an Arctic climate, and, being sud-
denly exposed to a warm atmosphere,
they quickly decompose. Thus it is
very difficult to preserve them, and, in
order to accomplish this, the tanks of
spirits into which they are put are
surrounded with ice, while the more
delicate invertebrate specimens are
placed in a cold room while absorbing
the alcohol. The fishes are injected
with alcohol by means of hypodermic
syringe, and so likewise are large
shrimps and crabs. Deep-sea star
fishes, sea urchins, and small corals are
first soaked in alcohol and then dried;
large corals are sprayed with alcohol
and packed in salt; jellyfishes are
hardened in a solution of picric acid,
wrapped in cheesecloth and kept in
strong alcohol.

poem. But this sort of feud between
verse writer's and musicians, is about
to be done away with, so it is pro-
claimed by the minor poets of young
Ireland who promise consequent
boom in Irish verse. The theory is
that Irish poetry, minor or major, re-
quires musical accompaniment to give
it it's full flavor, but when the music
rises to the dignity of tune the poet
ry becomes too subordinate. Hence a
new species of music has been specially
invented to accompany Irish verse, and
a conversations has been held at which
some of the new music has been per-
formed. 1t is called cantilating, and
consists of a long-drawn moaning,
which is something between chant
and a monotone, and the melancholy
of the music is said to be beyond any
thing ever heard before. Though it
comes forward as a new mode, CAN'T
1ating is in reality as old as the Greeks,
with the difference that while Greek
music went by certain fixed rules, can
tilating is left to the sweet will OF the
musicians.-London Globe.

the savage ferocity with which the
Milwaukee dealers clammored for Ben

Man who Gather. Spruce Gum.


There are many strange occupations
by which persons gain living, and
one of these is that of gathering chew
ing gum. There are a few men in
Maine who follow this vocation and
make a good livelihood out .of it. OF
course, what they gather is spruce
gum, and they pass the greater part
of their time in the lonely woods. 1t
is not necessary to say that their lives
are most monotonous. The gum pick
err. as he is called, carries with him
an outfit of several poles and knives,
a pair or two of snowShoes, a small
dog, a couple of blankets and a pair
of climbers like those used by tele-
graph linemen. In October he goes
into the woods to study the spruce
growth He travels alone and seeks
out the places where storms have in
jured the trees, for the wounded
branches are the ones that furnish
the largest supply of gum He can go

the theory that Miss Montgomery was
using Bennington as a sort of a warn

At all events, the consideration she
accorded them was precisely Identical,
SO far as any or us could see. Mon
days and Thursdays were Higgins eve
nings for calling, and Tuesdays and
Fridays were Bennington's, with the
Sundays alternating between them
As the months rolled by, the club be-
came almost feverishly Interested in
the outcome and bets were freely made
upon the result. Then came the eli
max.
Miss Montgomery, it appears, was
really unable to decide between the
two suitors, and fearing she would be
called upon to give an answer to
momentous question before she fully
knew her own mind, she hit upon a
plan of testing the business acumen
of Higgins and Bennington
1t was rumored that Papa Mont
gomery suggested the plan, but how
ever that may be, the test was to be
applied without the knowledge of the
suitors, and it's result was to determine
whether Higgins or Bennington was
to ultimately manage the Montgomery
millions.
Accordingly, one Monday evening.
she treated poor Higgins to surprise

The rural carriers are governed by
the same rules as the carriers of the
city delivery service; they wear the
same uniform, provided at their own
cost, and each has furnished himself
with a special delivery wagon with
Postal Wagon-U. S. MALI printed
on the front and sides. Each wagon
has a sliding door at the sides. with
a glass front, and is fitted up with
pigeonholes, in which the carrier sorts
his mail as he goes along. There is
also a contrivance for heating the
wagon in cold weather. All the boxes
along the routes are of galvanized
iron, of uniform size, painted and
closely resembling the regulation box
es used in cities, and are nailed on
posts of such height as to bring them
to level with the postal wagon. As
he drives up alongside the box the
carrier opens his sliding door and
drops the mail in the box, at the same
time raising a zinc signal which is
riveted in the box. If there is any
mail for him to collect he finds this
signal raised; if he has none to de-
liver in return he turns the signal
down. If the signal is not raised, and
he has no mail to deliver at the box
he drives by without stopping.-Pear-
sons Magazine.
