The earth has a shadow, but few

knowledge of what they are looking at
Some of us have seen on beautiful sum,
mer evenings just before sunset rose
ate arc on the horizon opposite the sun,
with a blush gray under it. This is
the shadow of the earth.

the cannery owners of the Fraser river.
The grand lodge represented the prac-

have now refused to take single boat
on account of the low price of fish set
by the cannery men. The latter offered
10 cents fish during the busy season
of the end of July and August, while
the fishermen insisted on ~ cents for
the whole season. The strikers are firm

Twenty-tour Messages Over Single Wire.

Twenty-tour Messages Over Single Wire
Some important experiments in con-
nection with the new telegraph system,
which is said to cheaper considerably
the cost of kilograms, have recently
been conducted by postal engineers be-
tween London and Glasgow. The new
apparatus is the invention of French
engineer named Mercadier, and by its
means it is possible to send twelve sep
arate messages over one wire at the
same time. The system is also capable
of being duplexed by which means
twenty-four separate messages can be
sent at one time over a single wire.
When a message is sent, or when twelve
separate messages are sent, what hap
pens is this: Twelve currents enter the
wire, each impressed with a distinct
vibration rate. AT the receiving sta
ton they pass through microphonic
receiver, which gives them added
strength. They are then discharged
through twelve receivers. AS each of
these receivers only respond to vibra-
lions of certain rate, they select each
current belonging to its own particular
message, but are impervious to all
others. By this means the messages
are accurately sorted out and kept dis
tinct

Amador ledger., 1901-07-12

No more can we quote, when that
day comes, ''people who live in glass
houses shouldn't throw stones" for it
will be such an every day occurrence
that the old adage will lose its charm
and will be relegated to the musty
archieves of the things that have been.
These glass houses, however, will be
simply boon to the householder who
rents his property to artistic tenants
who are almost compelled to stick pins
in the wall to carry out the effect of
some dainty ornament that can only
successfully be made use of by means
of the ever handy little pins that are a
terror to the property-owner, who sees
the finely papered walls mutilated by
pins and nails to the extent that they
require repapering for the next tenant.
Polly wonders how these glass houses
would stand the throes of great earth
quake or even a moderately sized one.
Wouldn't there be SCATTERING of glass,
though? Glass houses and glass furni-
lure may be all right, but Polly prefers
the popular materials of to-day when
it comes to building my castle in the
air, or in other words, my dream home.
| know just how l want it, even as
others before me have done, and all the
accessories that go to make up the little
nook l want to go to make up this
lngleside of my dreams.

BRIEF REVIEW.
Unique Way of Booming a Town.

Unique Way of Booming Town.
There is nothing more interesting in
the present-day rivalry for wealth and
power than the methods by which both
individuals and communities seek to
exploit their own interests. If man
has an enterprise to promote he must
advertise it. If town wants to grow
it must be doomed. In this age of
hustling competition the race is almost
invariably to the swift and the battle to
the strong. When, therefore, the only
industry of any consequence in Central
village, Conn.,, suspended operations,
the leading citizens of the place saw
that something must be DONE With
out some effort to prevent it, the town
would move backward. The Inhabit-
ants would seek employment else
where and things would go to smash.
A public meeting was held, therefore,
to discuss ways and means of booming
the town, attracting newcomers and
keeping Central village in line with the
procession. Various plans were sub
mitted, long discussion ensued, and il
was finally decided that the wisest
thing to do would be to build monu-
ment in honor of Eve. 1t was agreed,
and we think with reason, that me-
mortal of that character would attract
newcomers to Central village and make
life in the place worth living. The idea,
however, is not absolutely original. 1t
has its analogy in the action recently
taken by the residents of a shipbuilding
town on the coast of Maine. After
carefully considering various methods
of booming the place, it was unani-
mously resolved that the best way to
do it would be to erect monument in
honor of Noah, whom the preamble
justly described as the pioneer ship
builder, and as such, entitled to the
grateful recognition of all persons en-
gagged in marine architecture.

Amador ledger., 1901-07-12

In the meantime China has agreed to
pay the larger amount, so that the ques-
ton now arises, what will become of
the excess of 81, 100000 taels?
SOUTH AFRICA.
A cablegram to the New York Sun
from Cape Town says that five Beers
attack on Richmond.
1t appears that, including the BOer
prisoners and those in the concentra-
ton camps, the cost of supporting the
10000 Beers is falling upon the British
taxpayers.
General Touches two Boer COM
mands have advanced beyond Glen AL
mOnd, which is about ten miles south
east of Aliwal North. Boer and British
scouts have exchanged shots six miles
hence.
The German authorities of Demerara-
land have arrested a number of male
Beers who emigrated thither after the
recent fight at Maregas. Thirty-eight
families of women and children have
been placed in camp at Schmidt Drift.
A Boer force marched to within ten
miles of Barkly West and engaged a
patrol of the Cape police and local
mounted defense force from the farms
of Lyndale and Orpendale. The British
lost one killed, nine prisoners, three of
whom were wounded and two missing.
Jacobus Botha, member of the Cape
Assembly for Aliwai North, has been
captured by the Beers and publicly
sjamboked. In addition his house was
burned. The reason assigned for this
treatment is that Botha voted in favor
of the treason bill.
A cable from Cape Town says that a
small body of Boer invaders has visited
Jamestown and proclaimed the village
the capital of the Free Orange State.
The same force is said to be indulging
in considerable looting in that district.
1t is understood energetic measures will
be taken for the effectual clearance of
the marauders.
The casualty lists made public by the
War Office, London, show severe fight
ing is various parts of South Africa that
is not reported in the ordinary dis
patches. This is notably so with re-
gard to the Zeerust position in Cape
Colony. 1t also destroys the quietude,
which is added to by the repeated loot
ing of Jamestown in spite of the prox-
unity of a strong British force at Ali
| wal North.

SUPREME COURT

Montpelier, Nov. |. 80 In Supreme
court the cases taken up were: WASH
ington county case of A. B Hutchins
VS.. Barre water Co., and city of Barre
trustee. This is suit brought by
the tax collector Of the town of Barre
for taxes assessed on the Barre Water
works lying in the town of Barre.
The question now is, was the property
taxed to the proper party? A docu-
ment purporting to be deed but of
questioned validity at law was ia ex-
iStence but not recorded, which gave
to tine city of Barre the whole OF the
plant Of the Barre Water Co.
The plaintiff denies the validity of
the deco and clailbS taxes Of the Barre
Water Co. Another ques ZION which
was expected would be argued is that
of whether the city is now exempt on
the grounds Of the property being held
for public use, which is the same point
argued in the case Of town Of Derby
VS.. village of Newport last week, but
the appellant water company did not
present the pc mt. j. W. ordon and
William Wishart for appellant and R.
M. Harvey and E, M. Harvey ror the
tax collector.
Washington, county case of Alec
Carrow VS.. Barre Railroad c.. was
taken up next. This is a suit for ia.
juries received at a crossing known as
the fork-shOp crossing at Barre.
Plaintiff on jury trial received a yer
dict of $4,000. Appellant railroad
claims the case should not have z ne
to the jury but that verdict should
have been ordered for defendant at
close of plaintiffs evidence. Lord &
Carleton and +. l.. Lnrd for p ,intitf
and J. P. Lamson for railroad.
