At Wednesday evenings meeting

but the best possible entertainment
is to be provided for them.
The carnival grounds present a
beautiful appearance as well without

incandescent lights and the numerous
arc lights make the block aglow with
brilliancy and beauty. Not only is
the long approach to the loop radiant
with light but the big Ferris whee

of the high trapezes on which the Gil

Weird Clicking Sounds, Says
DistinEuished Naturalist.

Most seamen will tell Of curious click
ing sounds heard on calm nights at sea,
and the origin Of the noise seems so al

created some alarm among superstidous
fishermen, says the Chicago Tribune.
A distinguished naturalist made q care

Of tiny ones, each clear and distinct IN

not Be heard At al.
On other occasions the sound resem-
bled the tolling Of bells, the booming Of
guns, and the notes Of an Aeolian harp.
For long time be was unable to trace
the cause. but At length discovered that
the sounds were made By shellhsh, hun

partly mumed By the water, sounded
