about $500, gathered in spite Of a

meeting was the presence Of nearly
100 students from the Ohio Normal
university at Ada. The boys drove
sixteen miles in hacks over muddy
roads. They were accompanied by
an excellent college band. The stu
dents were very noisily enthusiastic
and made their presence forcibly felt.

Dexterity In Handling MariOnettes.
1.-THE ingenuity Of some Of the han
dlers of marionettes," said a show
man, lis incredible. 1 know a man
who conducts a mariohette theater
wherein an orchestra Of eight pieces
plays under marionette leadership
while in the boxes dozen marionette
spectators laugh and applaud and on
the stage marionette drama briskly
enacts itself. The conductor of all
this stands exposed to the waist at the
back of the stage. and apparently he
Is motionless, though really each finger
Of both hands and the majority Of the
toes of both feet are working with un-
exampled rapidity, for each marion
cite is connected by string with toe
or a finger of the operator, and this
string sometimes has as many as ten
or fifteen branches, joined to the man
ikin's face, body. arms, legs, etc., SO
that it may dance, smile, wave it's arms
and do a number of other lifelike
things. One of these figures, indeed
is connected by thirty-two strings to
the operator. 1t is bewildering to think
of the number of strings there must be
altogether, and really it Is impossible
to conceive of the dexterity and the

Tricks of Physicians.

"The best thing physician or sur
geon can do is to go off about six
months every two or three years and
give patients chance to miss him
and then come back and resume prac-
tice. They will flock back to him in
swarms, provided, Of course, he has
established a reputation and gained
their complete confidence" So says a
leading and eminently successful sur
geon.
Here is a physician living in city
of $1,000 Inhabitants, with a practice
Of $4,000 year, Of which he collects
$4,000. "The most successful practi-
TONERS in my town." he says, "are two
young men who spent year each in
Vienna and Paris. apparently studying
the latest methods and cures. All that
they know they learned right in New
York, but the mere fact of their having
taken a course or two in Europe, or
having pretended to, has given them
q vogue which no one who has never
been abroad can appreciate. A for
eign reputation Is worth $4,000 a year
to a five thousand dollar doctor."-De-

trically equipped elevated RAILROAD with a

Should he decide to extend the line on the
north from Buffalo to New York Gould
would undoubtedly secure a vast deal of
aid from the independent coal operators in
PENNSYLVANIA. They would welcome the
building of an independent road and would
receive Gould with open arms. And the
construction Of such road would place the
anthracite trust at the mercy of the Gould
system of railroads.
When it is remembered that as a result
of modern inventions and modern improve
ments and the decreased price of steel
rails railroads can now be constructed for
a fraction of the cost of few years ago
the strength of the position Of Gould can
be seen at -.rgfe glance. His roads will
not be obliged to take care of heavy bonded
indebtedness and here win be no water in
the stock The Importance of this proposed
connection between the Manhattan 81
roads equipped with electricity and di-
rectly connected by a tunnel with the
Gould system Of railroads is plain to all.

is cutting back toward Lake Erie at the
rate of over four feet a year. and in time
would kill the lake. Unfortunately, how
ever, the lake is destined to be drained
through Chicago. Lake Tahoe, a beautiful
lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains, is
also one of those destined in time to be
killed as result of the draining process.
Peat is one of the greatest filters and
works more rapidly than any other form
of deposits. 1t is estimated that one-tenth
of Ireland is peat, and over one-fourth of
the state of Indiana was once a peat bog
The speaker called attention to the Dismal
swamp in Florida, which was once a vast
lake, but is now a great area of boys and
swamp, with only little lake in one part
Sorank is the growth Of this peat In that hot
land that the surface of the lake is four
teen feet higher than the level of the sur
rounding boys showing that ii has been lit

Lakes, swamps, bcgs and then garden
lands represent the stages in the process of
dying. Filling, draining and encroachment
Of vegetation represents the process that
kills the lakes in warmer climes while the
forces of the air are agencies in the cooler
portions of the country. Professor Greg
DRY closed his lecture with an interesting
account of the way the lakes have disap-
peared in the regions in the western part
Of the United States, where only desert
land is now found.

HOW THE LAKES DIE.
Interesting Life History of Inland
Water Bodies.


Professor Gregory of Yale recently gave
particularly interesting lecture on 1.-The
Life History of Lake" Professor Greg
DRY, in the course of his talk, spoke Of the
way lakes are filled on one side and drained
on the other by rivers, and called attention
to the rapidity with which these lakes are
filed up by the bringing down of sediment
of various sorts. Rivers running into lakes
are quite dark, but those leading away are
clear, showing that much has been left be-
hind. The Mississippi carries yearly to
the gulf over Ii, 000, coo tons of matter 1t
would take but days portion of this bur
den to convert any one of the many ordi-
nary lakes into broad meadow lands.
Some Idea Of the rapidity with which
lakes die under this process is shown In the
fact that seventy-three out of one hundred
and forty-nine lakes in the Swiss region
have disappeared since 1873. Lakes die by
either being filled up or drained of. The
draining OF results when river has worn
a gorge back SO deep that the water all
runs out. The Niagara river is doing its
best in this draining by cutting as fine a
trench as could be made by an engineer. It

Strong Point for Gould.
Two things there are which are playing
into the hands of George Gould in this
connection. The first is discovery, which
is gradually on the minds of railroad men.
to the effect that 1t is easy to secure an en-
trance to any great city through the use
OF tunnels instead of ferries or bridges.
The other thing which will aid in making
the Manhattan elevated railroad the east
ern terminus Of the Gould system of rail-
roads is the immense strides that have
been made in the electrical world. Already
the Manhattan elevated railroad has made
arrangements to do away with steam and
use electricity, BY union Of the elsc-
