Tho reason for the waters disappear

best theory seems to be that irrigation is
one, II not the chief cause. Water is
being taken largely from streams flowing
into the lake. Without a water supply
the lake Is naturally drying up"

Boosting that it was no common man
who could brave such deadly fire, when
my friend Samuel ID. Murray, who lives
out on Oakley avenue, said quietly: 1t
wasn't such great thing. manned one
of those guns myself and others of my
regiment, the Third Michigan, were with
me. At that time, Second corps men of
a dozen regiments and Sixth corps men
of several regiments were fighting to-
gether. Organizations had been broken
up, and men of different companies left
without officers were doing the best they
could, Some of us loaded up the guns
and blazed away as long as we had am
munition. My partner, toward the last,
was in doubt whether we had rammed
home a load or not, and to make the
thing sure, we put in another and let
her go.
"The gun, double-shotted turned a
somersault and went splashing into the
mortar-like mud between us and the
enemy. That put us out of action, but
some of the other guns were fired after
that. remember well just how that gun
looked as it went like live thing into
the mud, and l remember it the more
clearly because about that time an officer
rode to where the boys were huddled
close to the breastworks and ordered
them to scale them The men, suspect
ing that he was drunk, paid little atten-
tion to him, but one fellow asked why he
didn't try it himself.
"Thereupon the officer spurred his
horse up the steep incline into the very

men manning the guns, it may be said
that in the time given to firing nine
rounds, 27 bullets passed through the
lid of the timber chest and SO bullets
through the sponge bucket of the right
gun. In spite of the fact that no men
could live in such a fire, officers of
Vermont regiment and of the Ninety
fifth Pennsylvania ran to the assistance
of Lieut.. Metcalf and Sergt Lines, but
these fell before the guns were aban-
doned.
Later men of the Fifth Wisconsin
and other regiments manned these guns
and some of those captured that morn
inc. Until very recently Judge ]. G. An
derson, of Manitowoc, who served in the
Fifth Wisconsin at Spottsylvania, be-
lIeved he was the sole survivor of this
second gun squad. In relating his eX-
perience at the reunion of his regiment
last year, he told how, as the last load
was rammed home John Lehn, of COM
pany E, sank down wounded. Then as
Anderson went toward the other guns
manned by infantrymen, seeking am
munition, something struck him that put
him out of action. But he remembers
that two of the captured guns were blaz-
ing away at the enemy. He stated that
he had repeatedly made inquiries for
the men serving those guns, but could
learn nothing of them and his conclu-
sion was that all were dead.
'All of the boys who saw service in
the army OF the Potomac became inter
ested in pushing the inquiry, and l was

sources of modern methods and inge-
nuity have been called in to assist.
The first change OF any great conse-
quence was made in 1885, when the
schooner rig was abandoned in favor
of that of a cutter by both the challenger,
Genesta, and the defender, Puritan.
The chief difference between the two
boats was that the British craft was a
straight-stemmed cutter, while the
American was fitted with a center
board The Vigilant was the last
American boat to carry center board,
and she also had the distinction of be-
ing the first metal boat which took
part in the cup races. At this time
hot discussion took place on both sides
of the Atlantic as to the merits of the
center board, and great interest CEN
tered in the contest with the Valiyrie
H., Lord Dunraven's yacht.
With Lord Dunraven's second chal-
lenge in 1895 British and American
ideas came more into line, and there
was a good deal in common between
Valkyrie Ill and the Defender, which
was the first absolutely keel boat to
.
first challenge brought forward the
first British boat built of metal. The
British boat was fuller bodied and not
nearly so fine in her lines as the De-
fender. The experience gained by Mr.
William Fife in this series of matches
has, however, proved invaluable to him
in the designing of the recent chal-
lenger. Mr.. George Watson had again
with Shamrock IL. a fuller bodied boat
than the craft selected by the Ameri-
cans for the defense of the cup; but
in the recent series of contests this
state of affairs was reversed, the Re-
lance being much more fuller bodied
boat than the challenger, besides being
a great deal flatter on the floor.
How much we have progressed since
Puritan, the first cutter built for the
defense of the cup, was launched, will
be seen from a comparison of the di-
mensions of the boat with those of Re-
lance, which is probably the most eX-
treme craft ever built in the history of
the racing for the cup. Puritan meas
ured 81.1 feet on the water line, as
against S966 feet of Reliance. The
spinnaker boom of the one was 62 feet,
as compared with the modern boats S
SS.75 feet. The main gaff, too, shows
what has been done in the way of in
creased sail area; Puritan had spar
1 AZ feet in length to contrast with the
/ Reliance's 7190 feet. 1t is, however, in
the huge spread of canvas which can
be carried with safety that one notes
the great advance of modern ideas
Reliance spreads over 10000 square
feet as against Puritan's 1882 square
feet.

Some of u.s." said the captain, in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, have been looking
for 20 years for men who played a very
unusual part in the fight at the bloody
angle at Spottsylvania on the 18th of
May, 1864 After Hancock's corps had
captured the first line of Lees works at
the salient and after the Sixth corps,
under Wright, had plunged into the
fight, there were several pieces of artil-
lery left near the angle, which were put
in action again by infantrymen from diff
ferent regiments. Up to May Is we of
the army of the Potomac had not been
able to locate more than one of these
men.
Eight or ten guns were captured by
Hancoci's men in the first charge early
on the morning of May IL. When the
confederates attempted to recapture the
works at the angle, some of these guns
were drawn out and turned on the charg-
ing enemy. Later, two guns of battery
G, Fifth United States artillery, were
ordered close up to the angle by Gen.
Wright himself The guns went as or
dered, but the staff officer guiding them
was shot before they reached the desig-
mated position, and in few minutes
all the horses had been shot, seven Of
the % men had been killed and 16
wounded.

done6, Ten years ago the only survivors

tcopyrlght, 1903, by Daily Story Pub. Col

MAJ. FITZGIBBON sat on the YER
lvl anda of his house in the little city
of Brayton, in central New York, and
watched a large steam roller which
rumbled ponderously and complaining
ly over the unoffending macadam of the
broad, tree-lined avenue. This roller
typified the manner in which the major.
since his emigration from Georgia, so
years before, had walked rough-shod
over the complaisant inhabitants of
Brayton.
The majors love for the south was
coupled with an enterprise which
seemingly at variance with the southern
characterized enabled him to dominate
the small northern city commercially.
The great factory which bore his name,
and employed 500 workers, entitled him
to be considered magnate.
Fanciful comparisons were far from the
majors mind as he watched the roller
defile the crisp May air with puffs of
sooty smoke. The vicious twist with
which he fingered his imperial indicated
something serious in his thoughts.
The twist increased in violence as a
handsome young man stepped brisIlly
through the front gate and along the
path which led to the yeranda. The
major rose with exaggerated courtesy.
Good morning, Mr.. ingalls," he said.
Il have ventured to-" began the
young man.

freshment, sir" the major interrupted

woman devotee has ever recorded.
In the short space of one golhng season
she has won the championship OF Cali
fornia, which in itself would do credit
to any woman golfer in the country.
There are a number of excellent woman
players in California-probably as many
as in any other state in the union. In
addition to this is her work at Chicago,
where, with one weeks practice, she
went under the existing women's rec
ords by big margain in her play in
the championship tournament, in which
she turned in the third best score OF tho
qualifying round, and her decisive de-
feat of her opponent in the first match
play round.
Miss Higgins lays claim to herreputa-
ton as a golfer on her long game, not
on her short game, for she is weak when
it comes to iron work She uses full
st. Andrews swing and the distance she
gains thereby has been unequaled in the
tournament. There is hardly woman
golfer that can compete with her OF. the
long game-at least none that has COM
peted in the EXmoor tourney. She uses
her brassie also to good advantage.
When playing on holes when she is able
to get in brassie she generally gains
a stroke on her opponent. Her short
game, especially the putting, is tho
only bad feature of her work She is
perhaps exceptionally poor at this de-
partment of the game, but as she has
been playing the game only one year
there is an excuse for this.
Miss Rhona Adair, the champion wo-
man gol.er of England, who is about to
visit Philadelphia, is the finest woman
golfer in the United Kingdom. Since
the year 1900, when she won the Irish
woman's championship, she has never
been beaten. She won the ladies opea
championship in both the following
years. Many critics of the game say
that she is the most brilliant woman
player in the world.
