 Thanks, very much. Let me say to you that it is not lamp or an cleo tric. light but powder of my own compounding. It is to be burned in a dish or kettle, and, as the fog seems to be here, think will go down and begin operations. Why, it is so foggy that one can't see three feet from his nose in our back yard"
 But you think your discovery will dissipate it?''
 "You wait and see. Take your sta- ton here at this window, and you may see the whole yard become so bril- liant that you can see the last silver plated fork thrown out by the cook. Keep that blamed cat up here with you"
 Mir. Bowser disappeared in the direc- ton of the basement and the kitchen, and after two minutes of chuckling and purring the blamed old cat' fol- lowed after. She had witnessed a fog or two in her time, and if there was any Annihilator around she wanted to know all about it.
 As the cook was through with her work for the evening and had gone up to her room MT. Bowser hunted around until he found an old pie tin, and then from tin box he had kept carefully concealed In his coat tall pocket he poured out about six ounces of grayish mixture on the tin. Then he got match and opened the kitchen door and advanced into the fog, close ly followed by the inquisitive cat, who had an idea that sausages were to be distributed as reward of merit.
 To the vision of Mrs. Bowser, dis torted as 1t was by the fog, MT. Bow ser looked to be thin man. about piue

 All day long she expected men to ar rive with new milk cows, half grown hogs, Cochin China chickens, patent fire escapes, spring tonics, burglar alarms and electric ash removers, and as no one had appeared up to 6 o'clock her anxiety had almost passed away. When MT. Bowser came home he said nothing further, and the matter broached at breakfast had almost been forgotten when he observed:
 Mrs. Bowser, I saw by the news papers this morning that there would be fog tonight"

There was a moment of suspense while the expert menter was striking q match and set ting fire to the powder. Then there came one grand flare, which got the better of the fog for an instant, but was followed by the yells of human voice and the yeowls of eat. MT. Bowser came running against | the wall of the house and fell down and rolled over, and there was an aw 1 ful scrabbling as he and the cat found the kitchen door and rolled into the room.
 Twill you tell me what on earth is l the matter?" demanded Mrs. Bowser, as she went cIattering down from the l sitting room.
 There was no need of an answer. | Mir. Bowser's hair and eyebrows had been singed to the color of old gold, and he was skipping himself in an energetic way to beat out the sparks which had fired his coat in a dozen places.

 ''Yes; that's the way of it. but how you ever came to figure it out beats me. If you keep on being so smart you will know some day why it rains now and then. To go ahead, however fogs not only cause the greatest in convenience on land, but fogs on sea have been the cause of hundreds of disasters. 1t is estimated that 500 lives are snuffed out and $3,0O0,0O0 worth of damage is caused every year by sea fogs, and the city of London alone puts it's yearly damage ill dol lars and cents at round million by land fogs."
 .'Well?" queried Mrs. Bowser, know ing that dangerous subject was grad ually heaving into view.
 Tor 300 years past" resumed Mir. Bowser i'll the tones of historian in structing class, 'man has been seek ing to invent light powerful enough to penetrate, if not dissipate, q fog, but thus far all attempts have been use- less. Can you understand the com mercial value of such light?"
 'I think can"
 You see how it would save time. do away with the Inconvenience and pre- vent loss Of life and property?'
 "Very clearly, MT. Bowser. Yes, what iG needed is just such n light as you speak of, and may I ask if you have been experimenting in that direc- tion?'
 Mr. Bowser got up and walked up and down the room with his hands i'll his pockets and save-the-country look on his face, and the cat came up from the basement and looked from him to Mrs. Bowser and back and chuckled to herself:

 We have had another dandy day in the Bonanza Circle with heavy de mand for them all with the exception of C. & 4. This stock is almost too high to handle for spectators. The chief feature in today's trading was in Junction, and with very little or no stock offered. People are commenc- ing to realize that this is the coming property of the Bonanzas. The high est bid made for th.s stock today was $54, but as yet have not been able to get any at that price. Pittsburg & Duluth is now on its way to the $90 mark before the reorganization, which takes effect on the 25th of this month.
 Some few days ago I warned you 10 get some l.. S. & P. for l was in pos session of information that would have a tendency to make this stock advance. I presume you heard the news today. Every body knows il, but they didn't know a thing about it six days ago. Calumet & Pittsburg Is also in the game bidding this after noon at $43, with very little coming out. You can rest assured the pres ent buyers of stock are not the ones that are going to sell, so you had bet ter not wait too long for they are all on the point of advancing We had somes sales today in Bis5ee Water Co
