OPERA HOUSE LIGHT PLANT.
Put in By Manager Love At Cost OF e15O-
Total Candle Power. 800.

Total Candle Power $500.
H. E. Lowe, manager Of the Good
land opera house, has installed a pow
erful gas lighting plant. at a cost Of
$50, and the opera house Is now pro
vided with a total lighting capacity Of
5, 500 candle power.
On the main floor there are three
large lamps OF 1000 candle power; as
fOOtlights on the stage there are three
lamps of 500 candle power, and on the
sides Of the stage, there are two also Of
500 candle power. The. lamps may be
by switches reduced IN briIliancy until
the light IS hardly perceptible, and
when the full force is turned on from
the pressure tank with a capacity Of
40 pounds, the intensity Of the light Is
almost unindurable to the eye. One
generator is all that is used TO supply
the quantity Of gas used for the whole
system, and the gas is transmitted 10
the various lamps by means Of pipes.
This is undoubtedly the finest and
most efficient illuminating plant that
has ever been introduced IN Goodland.
and Manager Lowe Is to receive much
credit for his enterprise in this matter,
which is a personal expense and enter
prise on his part, as he is only the renter

with a far different result An old

trunk Of a decaying willow lying half
over the water They fought almost as
ong as Falstait said he did at the battle

got his fangs well set into the back Of
the weasels neck and finished him.
Such a result is very rare. for the weasel

The fox is another animal given to
frequenting the brook. He is extreme
ly fond Of water birds, and prowls about
in search Of the moorhen. the coot, the
mallard and other aquatic birds. When
tired he very often curls himself up
among the rushes and goes softly to
sleep, in this respect showing a great
difference in habit between himself and
the badger, as the latter scarcely ever
sleeps out. II is difficult to reason from
effect TO cause in the case Of wild crea-
lures. but in this instance a very plaus-
ible explanation could be offered The
nocturnal badger is in his habits clean
ly TO a degree. and his earth is always
kept sweet Probably he has been
taught this from his habit Of sitting
within doors all day. If his earth were
fouled il would not be possible to live
in It without disease. The fox. on the
other hand. takes no thought about
sanitary arrangements. and his den is
simply filthy. When it gets too bad for

To trace its course backwards through
the powand and pasture Of a lowland
county is one Of the most delightful OF
childish adventures, and In the act OF
doing so many a fact Of natural history
is acquired that would not have other
wise been known. With the aid Of

Of rushes or tall flags, it is possible pap
proach the shyesto OF wild creatures. You

water side holds attraction to creatures

sandy bays where shoals Of minnows
