ONE MORE DANGER.

There are many things to be afraid of,. and one more has just been added
 to the long list. A new danger for swimmers is pointed out in an article in the Journal of the American Medi-
 cal association. The danger is said to exist in those persons who have suf-
 fered from middle ear disease and are subject to attacks of giddiness in con-
 sequence. The explanation offered is that in this disease the sami-circular canals are affected, that these have something to do with the balancing of the body, and that 8 small thing may produce this effect in the water, with resultant loss of power to control the body and therefore instant helpless ness. In this condition the person at- tackled may easily drown, no matter how expert a swimmer he is when in a normal condition. The Journal puts the case in this way: It seems not im- probable that something happens in the selni-circular canals and that this is the reason for the utter helplessness. Swimming is, after all mainly bal ancing feat in the water. The semi circular canals are the organs of direc- tion, and the maintenance of equili-

hotel and the water would, if one can judge by like cases in other localities. permeate through the gravel and fill the cellars of the houses on the point. The fine beaches which form an att traction for many summer visitors would be covered up, an the trees about the shores would in the course or a few years be inevitably killed by the action of the water on their roots.
 It may be that the dam will never be raised. It certainly will not be done for two years. for, before any steps are taken. permission to raise the dam must be obtained from the Legislature. The haising of the dam, if It is done, will be only another step in the march which the big manufactur- Ing plants along the Penobscot and hennebec rivers are taking to insure an aA-the-year-around supply Of wa- ter to turn the wheels of their big plants The increased storage capacity or the lake will be of inestimable value to these plants. but it may be that the oanages which will have to be paid VIII be too great and the project may yet be abondoned.-Bangor Comnoer- ciaI.

NOT THE SAME.

Wise men change their minds, and Mayor Dunne of Chicago is a wise man. Anyhow. he has changed his mind. Af- ter three months study of the problem imposed upon him by his election last April under a pledge to bring the street railroads of Chicago promptly under the ownership of that city, he absolutely declines to do anything of the sort. h. stead, he announces that the best that can be done-taking into account the financial and social interests concerned and also the political habits of Chicago is to organize new corporation, a friendly corporation" to be controlled by five trustees having the confidence of the people, and who are also to be in pronounced sympathy with the pol icy of municipal ownership of street car serviee,". and to turn over to this new corporation the franchises now held by the old companies where these fran chises have expired or are about to ex- pire. This new corporation will issue per cent. stock and sell it by popular subscription, meaning, possibly, that only so much is to be sold to each subscriber-a method that would not prevent it from being bought up after ward by large capitalists and consoli- dated at lower dividend rate in fact if not in form. The money received by the sale of this stock is to be used in handling and refitting the lines whose franchises may be acquired. All that this new corporation earns over 6 per cent. is to go into fund for the pur- chase of additional franchises, the city being authorized thus to extend the new system whenever this fund is suf- fcient.
 As Chicago isn't Glasgow, it seems to be sensible to recognize that fact as quick as possible.

now have a gasolene launch, with which they go about the lake. At points where the hight-water mark Is established ring bolts are set in the rocks and the mark is preserved, while the engineers preserve the accompan- ing data for future reference.
 According to the present plans upon which the engineers are working the lake will be raised about two feet. The present dam at the outlet holds a head of eight feet. Within the past four years this dam. which is of timber, has been practically rebuilt. The old dam was about GOO feet in length, but with the new parts which have been built on and the extensions of the wings the dam is now about 900 feet in length. The new parts of the dam are considerably higher than the old structure, so that the dam if built up to the height of the new parts of the structure will be about 12 feet in height.
 The effect which would be produced on Moosehead by raising the dam even height of two feet can best be imagined by study of the changes ef- fected by the raising of the Chesun- cook Lake dam. At gChesuncook ths level of the lake is raised six feet by the fine new timber dam built less than two years years ago. The rais- ing of the lake flows flows the water back into the West Branch of the Pen obsecot for over two miles. At Pine Stream Falls, where there was sformer-
 ly strong pitch, there is now no sign of rought water when the lake is full.
 The waters of the lake flow back into the woods about the shores for dis
 tance of more than a half mile in some places and the whole topography Of the country is changed.
 The damages resulting from the raising of Moosehead would, be much greater than at Chesuncook. The shores | Of Moosehead are we'll settled in many places and the damage to settI- ed land would be much greater than to the small timber, which clothes the shores of Chesuncook. At Moosehead the damage would be particularly heavy at Greenville, where the land IS low about the shores. At Kineo, too, the raising of the lake would do great damage. The point upon which the handsome Mt. Kineo House is built is of gravelly formation. Raising the lake two or three feet would be hard on the foundations of the big summer

The new bonds are similar to the pre- vious issue of e3o.0O0.o0O sterling and are secured, both as to principal and interest, by the charge upon the an- nual net revenue of the Japanese gov ernment tobacco monopoly, subject only to the charge in favor of the prior loan Of e3o,OOO,00O sterling. The Japanese government has the exclusive right to control the cultivation and production of the leaf and to purchase, import. manufacture and to sell tobacco, thus possessing the entire monopoly of the tobacco trade within the limits of the Japanese empire. The estimated net revenue for the fiscal year 19O5-O6 from this source is equal to e3,267.796, which is more than per cent. upon the two series of bonds.
 At the beginning of the war the talk was that Japan would be financially ex- hausted before she could conquer Rus ria. She isn't showing many signs of financial exhaustion now.

TO RAISE MoOsEHEAD LAKE.

The residents of the country abut-
 ting on Moosehead lake are again agitated by the prospect of having the Moosehead Lake dam raised several feet and the extent of the lakes f1ow-
 age correspondingly increased. To tell the truth about the matter, the cul- imitation of such project seems hard ly any nearer than it did four or five years ago, when the scheme was first
 suggested. but the idea Is one that is far from pleasing to the people whose property would be affected by the raising of the lake.
 It was as far back as 1900 when the project of raising the Moosehead dam, and thus increasing the flowage of the lake, was first suggested. Such a pro- ceeding would be or great value to the mills situated along the Kennebec River, for the increased flowage of the lake incident to an increase of several feet in the height of the dam would mean 8 volume of reserve water, which
 would mean plenty of water to turn the wheels of the mills even in seasons |of most protracted drought.
 The present interest in the matter has been aroused by the work which
 is being done by engineers in North
 Bay. Engineers have been making surveys of the lake at different times ever since 1901. The object of the sur
 veys is to establish a present high water mark and ascertain to what ex- tent the raising of the water in the lake would overflow the shores, so that some idea of the amount of the damage resulting from the raising of the dam may be obtained.
 During the past winter these sur veys were conducted on the ice. The engineers had a camp built on a sled. which was hauled from point to point. and the surveys conducted without re- gard to cold or storms. The engineers

The Gaulois has this Balzac story: The novelist, it appears, fattered him. self upon his skill in reading character from handwriting, and the story is of the test applied to his skill. A woman brought him an extract from an exer- else book of a twelve-year school boy and asked for an opinion as to the youngsters character and prospects. Balzae inquired whether the child was her own. Answered in the negative, he examined the exercise carefully and de- Iiyered his Judgment. Madam he said, this child is thick headed and frivilous He will never come to any good. If he were my child would take him from school and put him to the plow." And then it had to be broken gently to the graphologist that the exercise on which he chad pronounced so severely was one of his own. which had been discovered hidden away between the leaves of an old lesson book.

4 FREr LYNCH ouEsrToN.

There is much talk in England and this country about the propriety or wisdom of providing free luncheons for public school children. This is one of the functions of the Cantines Scolaires of Paris, and the experience of these institutions, as set forth in recent off, cial reports, is interesting. Originally, in 1882, it was settled that the muni- cipal subvention for this purpose should never exceed 500,000 francs ($1OOo0o) annually, the understanding being that all children who could pay for meals should do so. But year by year the number of free meals in- creased, and the number of paid meals diminished, and it became necessary to increase the subvention yearly, until it reached Gin 1899) 100000 francs when the municipality decided that this sum must be the limit. Nomi- nally, the caisses des ecoles, of which there is one in each arrondissement were supposed to contribute to this fund, but actually most of them paid nothing, while the remainder gave neg ligible amounts. Only two of them gave as much as $1,50o. In course of time, the nrsals came to be regarded as a right, not as a privilege, and the municipal authorities now seem to take this view of the case, flor they have decided that the cantines are not be- nevolent associations, but are simply established in order to encourage good attendance at the schools. The free luncheons thus become an official bribe.
 5 This is natural development.
