To Raise MOOsehead Lake.
From the Springfield Republican


For several years past much interest has
been aroused by the discussion of a plan to
raise the waters of Moosehead Lake. I'm
Maine. two feet for storage purposes by
elevating the present dam at the lakes out
5let. The object of storing this added water
is to provide sufficient amount to enable
the lumbermen TO run their logs in the
spring, and at the same time leave a sur
plus large enough to keep the Kcnnebec
river, its draining stream, at fits normal
how during the summer season. 1t is most
essential that the summer flow of this
stream be kept constant, in order that the
numerous and important manufacturers
which depend upon il for their motive
power may run at their full capacity
throughout the year. AT present there is
not enough water for both purposes Moose
head lake has an area of 120 square miles
the largest inland body OF water in New
England. and lies at an elevation of e5o
feet above the sea level; it is like most of
the other Maine lakes, admirably adanted
for reservoir purposes. The project has
been considered of so much Importance that
the mill owners on the Kennebec river
have this year united in request to ,he
sistance in the study of the problem. and
have raised $500 by private subscription 10
which the survey adds a like amount and
conducts the investigations. Hydrographic
studies are desirable of Penobscot, Andro-
scoggin and other Maine rivers, on which
the power developed could be materially in
creased by careful regulation of the flow by
dams at the outlet OF the lakes at their
head waters.

THE USE OF MECHANICS.
A Habit which Has Strong Hold on
Most Americans.
From the Baltimore American.

1t is somewhat surprising that Senator
Depew should allow such an unpoetic nick
name as Buster to cling to his son. The
name however, may be connected with
something important in the young mans
life, and it may be too dear to discard. The
tendency to apply nicknames and familiar
appellations is strong generally In most
countries, and nowhere stronger than in
America No station in life Office es-
capes Andrew Jackson was called "Old
Hickory" oftener than President. Lincoln
never seriously objected to being called
the Rail Splitter" The present executive
was known as Teddy until he became
President. Mr.. Cleveland has been referred
to in political assemblies In an easy way as
Grover and his name has been lugged
into sungs. Grant was the Silent Man"

OF the scishtihcd advances effected within
the last twelve. months perhaps those in
electricity are the most notable. Prominent
among them are the perfecting of two stor-
age batteries whose lightness especially
adapts them to the operation Of automo-
biles, Pupin's system of promoting long-dis-
tance telephony, and new applications of
wireless telegraphy. Whatever may be
thought of Marconi's attempt to establish
communication.b between Europe and Amer
lea, this much is certain: The reporting Of
incoming steamships several hours earlier
than was practicable year ago Is alone
an innovation OF great practical value. In
asmuch as Pupin's invention has not been
put into service, one cannot well estimate
Its utility with accuracy at present But
the handsome price paid for it by the Bell
company is Significant testimony. to say the

The Brave Young Canadian.

The name Of the young Canadian
hero who, refusing to surrender to the
Beers the other day in South Africa.
fought until his ammunition was ex-
hausted, then smashed his rife and
died, was Charles Napier Evans of
Port Hope. It deserves to be writ
large on the scroll Of fame, says the
Ottawa (Canada) Citizen. Before he
enlisted As a trooper of the king he
was a young Canadian schoolmaster.
Both his Christian names and surname
would indicate that he came Of good
fighting stock, which certainly did not
suffer deterioration in being trans
planted to Canada.

SPRING TIPS.

In planning the new garden leave
plenty of room for spreading. Peonies,
for instance, will double themselves
before long.
Plan and choose colors carefully.
Plenty of color is desirable, but con-
Trajectory colors running rampant de
tract from fine effects.
Rubber gloves are fine for the hands.
but not for the plants. Unless of the
seftest and most pliable variety they
should be removed when handling roots
OF flowers.
Avoid straight lines as much as pos
sible. There is no straight line in ma
tire. 1t is for this reason that groups
and masses are so much better than
formal or set beds.
Water the ground thoroughly when
the springing plants seem to need it,
but be gentle and do not use hydrant
water. Baby flowers are easily chilled
and broken.
Hardy roses should be set out early.
Early planting means early blooming
as a rule. But it is well to wait until
all danger Of frost is over, and protec.
ton should be provided for all chilly
nights.
The garden pinks r among the most
satisfactory Of the old fashioned flow
ars coming into renewed favor. They
bloom plentifully, are fine in shape,
size and color. and they come again
cheerfully year after yea
Well started hollyhocks will bloom
this season If the plants purchased are
old enough. Make sure of this before
buying. Nothing could possibly please
a flower or color lover better than q
row or mass of these simple and yet
charming beauties.-Chicago Tribune.
