RUSSIAN ENAMEL.
A Coming Novelty in the Way ofJewelry
For the Fair Sex.


Quite n smart novelty introduced 10y
n live jcwclcr is what is called Russian
enamel Naturally il is made in Ger
many-nearly everything is. 1t comes
in number - forms, all pleasing and
all decidedly odd. The quaintest pagt
of il is that the enamel is transparent.
This quality is particularly well eX-
plotted in the hatpins. There are two
sorts of heads-one in the shape of
Mercury wings. he Other in a design
that tops a knights staff. They cost
SO. and show off the design the best of
any Of the pieces. because they stand
out where the light may shine through.
For mere prettiness, the double shell
is the choice; it is one of the novel
things to hang on chain. The she'll
folds together with room between for
n keepsake. The enamel changes from
blue to green. and is marked off f1ely
with gilt in cathedral glass effect. This
costs SIS.
Much more elaborate is a necklace
with a pendant 1t is OF gold, in an
ancient design and two bits of the en-
amel breaks its length few inches
each way from the pendant And this
pendant is in the shape of a human
head with green and blue hair around
her ivory face in true posteresque fash
Ion. a cabochon emerald is on her
forehead. and the more you look at il
the more you wonder if the idea is

what witcbery dwells in the evening gloam
When the fire burns low and the shadows
roam
Like fitting ghosts where the dim light
falls
In Pickering shapes on the dusky walls
What spirits come when the heart goes
back,
And moves again DER the darkened track
That walk with me through the long ago
In the evening hush when the lights are
low?
What shadows over the dim room creep
To silent mourn OF TO pause and weep
And place a wreath on some crumbled
tomb
Half lost in the dust OF the ancient gloom!
Forgotten shapes that in silence come
When the ears are dulled and the lips are
dumb,
And only the dream tides ebb and flow
In the evening hush when the lights are
tow.
Gray spectres out OF the vanished past
Come stealing forth; and all flying fast,
The mystic ones from the future greet
And clasp white hands as the winding
sheet
Unrolls, quick flooding the haunted room
With the scent of long dead roses bloom;
And memory's visions come and go
In the evening hush when the lights are
low

killing " oodchucks

Clarence NJ. Weed. OF the New
Hampshire Experimental Station, re-
ports great success in killing wood
chucks by the use of bisulphide of car
bon. He took n handle basket and
filed it with dirt, n little cotton in his
pocket and n shovel, with his can of
carbon bisulphide. Taking n little cot
ton that he could hold between his
thumb and finger he saturated il with
the carbon, and pushed it into the hole
as far as he could. Then he put in the
basket Of earth and filled the hole level
full If there was more than one en-
trance to the hole he stopped one be-
fore putting the carbon into the other.
As n result out twenty-five burrows
that he treated only two or three were
dug open again. and they apparently
from the outside. Where the wood
chuck was at home inside be was evil
IDENTIFY dead and buried. or course any
one who uses this method does not
want 10 inhale much of the bisulphide,
and should not smoke or light any
matches while handling II. Probably
this is the quickest and most effective
way to rid n field of this pest. which is
destructive 10 peas. beans. clover and
many other crops. but we have known
those who would prefer 10 take them
in traps. skin them and eat them. As
they are as dainty feeders as the rab-
bit there is no reason why they should
not be good food. and those who are
troubled by them may take their choice
OF the two methods Of disposing OF
them.

Clear Water Reservoirs.


The work on the clearwater reservoir
consisted of excavating for the foundation
and building 274 linear feet of the east
wall. The wall was built of concrete in
sections of "a feet each, with the excep-
ton of two sections which were % feet
each. The sections were connected by a
concrete tongue ana groove in the YER
teal abuting fences. The materials used
in the concrete We're Atlas Portland cement,
sand, and mixture Of broken stone and
gravel in proportions (an average for the
whole work. of l Of cement, 1-3 of sand
and 8 Of the mixture of broken stone and
gravel. 1t was mixed very wet, and al
though no mortar faces were made, the ap-
pearance was satisfactory, with the eX-
ception Of a few places where leaks occur
red in the forms. The amount eXcavated
for foundations of the walls was about
$500 cubic yards, and the amount of con-
crete in the wall about 500 cubic yards.
Drawings have been made for a super
structure for the gatehouse, the walls and
passageways cleaned, the ironwork painted,
the brick cross wall in the central chamber
built and screens and step logs made.
Four lines of -eight-inch cast-iron
pipe have been laid between the gatehouse
and the clear water reservoir. Thirty
eight twelve-foot lengths of pipe and four
bends were used in these lines. They were
carried under the sewer, which was sup
ported on timberS until the pipe lines were
completed when the concrete piers were
carried up between the pipe lines and the
excavation refilled.
The excavation for the foundation of the
intake and part of the trench for the four
lines of -eight-inch pipe connecting it
with the pumping station has been made.
The concrete substructure of the intake
has been completed and the four forty
eight-inch s1uice gates set. The concrete
used in this work was similar to that in
the east wall of the clearwater reservoir
The four pipe lines were laid for a distance
of forty-eight feet from the intake They
extended under the sewer, which was sup
ported in the same manner as that portion
between the gatehouse and the clear water

in the intake was 800 cubic yards
