pounds, six Of which hefted around the
fiye-pound mark, while one giant went a
trihe over Ave and a half. And their hearts
were merry, and no man did they allow to
escape before they bought for him.
One was mining engineer OF repute,

Dick once looked at a mining proposition

in the ore-bearing hills. which he was
sure must contain bass, tho he had not the
time to try it whiia there. On casua! IN

knew of the existence Of the lake, and we
just CHANGED it. So we chartered team,
a buck board, got a cheap outfit OF tackle
and a. case of Schlitz, and off we went.
Well wes.found the lake all right, also
found loggers' shanty nearby, a good
barn to put the horses in, and. best OF

A molecule of alcohol is composed Of two
atoms of carbon, six Of hydrogen and one
Of oxygen; SO synthetical alcohol is OBJ
tanned by uniting these atoms accordingly.
For a long time it has been known that
by direct combination of carbon and by
drogen IN the electric arc, acetylene can
be obtained. Sufficient hydrogen must be
added to the acetylene to produce ethy-
lene, constituent Of illuminating gas.
In combining water with the ethylene al
coho1 is obtained. Thus alcohol is. pro-

Of vegetable matter.
