Ph1Iade1ph1an'S Scheme Required
Little Time and No Temper.
The easiest way is the best way
when it comes to throwing down a
book agent, and besides what is the use
Of breaking a good ak when you can do
the work with a sweetful smile? says
the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The other day q book agent called
on a busy man in this city, and instead
of being chucked down the elevator
shaft, heaved out the window, or push
ed over the treetops he was cordially
invited to take a squat in a leather
covered chair.
Naturally the booksome one was
amazed and didn't know whether to
accept the offer or keep q fist hold on
the door knob. He wasn't accustomed
to such nice favors and couldn't be
blamed for being afraid that as soon as
he attempted to sit down he would drop
through the floor like a paid fireman
or fit through the roof like q little
bird. However, he cast aside his fears
and squatted

MYSTERY OF LAKE NEMI.
Observation-Disclosures

When all other sources Of interest
rail-, there is always Lake Neni. IN II.
ally, and Its submerged gaIleys to turn
10. VI late new plans by which to reveal
what the waters have hidden are under
consideration. One of these schemes Is
the draining Of the lake into a near and
low-lying valley. The problem Of the
galleys has been before the public since
1431, and many attempts have been
made to solve it.
Lake Nemi lies in an old crater Ii an
italian mountain range. It is a beauti-
fui sheet of water among the quiet hills.
In the days of the Caesars it was dedi-
Gated to the worship Of Diana, and
temple stood on its shores. Now forty
feet below its placid surface rest two
great galleys, supposed to have been
built by Caligula.
For hundreds Of years the world has
known Of the hidden treasures Of the
lake, and numerous efforts have been
made to raise them. In the fourteenth
century seamen from Genoa, who "look-
ed more like fish than men," dived into
the water and adjusted great chains
about the wrecks. But the immense
weight baf1ed all efforts to lift, the
chains broke, and the enterprise was
abandoned. Only fragments Of the
ships were brought to the surface. bits
of wonderful beauty.
In 1885 a famous military architect
invented diving-b and descended in
to Lake Nemi, keeping under water an
hour and half at a time. In his ac-
count of his adventure he speaks of be-
Ing Mortified at the sight of the thou
sands of fishes. They were nothing but
the tiny white bait, attracted by the
crumbs from the divers lunch. 'Find-
Ing nothing to eat, they pricked and
pinched my legs, biting them sorely.
had no trousers on, for fear of getting
caught on bit of stick or wood"
An investigation of these Roman rel
les was begun by a dealer in antiquities
in 1895. It has been proved that two
galleys Of wonderful workmanship lie
in the lake. Bits of copperwork, exquis-
lite mosaic and carved wood have been
brought to light The bulls have been
measured, and their construction OF
wood sheathed in lead ascertained. Bits
Of lead pipe bearing the name Of the
emperor testify to their ownership.
The question is why such large yes
sells should have been foated on this
little lake. The latest theories affirm
that they were huge pleasure barges
and bathing establishments moored to a
splendid pier. 1t is proposed to drain
away the waters Of the lake and to
carefully preserve and restore the gal
leys.

LIVES OF FISHES SAVED,
Taken from SIonEhs Formed by I'LL
nOfS and Mississippi Rivers

Taken from SIOuEhs Formed by I'LL
nOts and Mississippi Rivers.
The rescue of fishes from the sloughs
fOlmed by the overflow of the Illinois
and Mississippi rivers has been in the
last year conducted by the bureau of
fisheries on a larger scale than hereto
fore, according to the New York Trib-
unC. These sloughs, says the commits
sIoner, become entirely dry in summer
or, with the high temperature of the
water, fill with a rank growth of vege
tation which smothers the fish In win
ter they freeze. Thus the fish in them
must perish unless removed, and the
work of the bureau consists in seinino
these overdowed places and trans
ferring the fish to suitable waters. Mil
lions of fish have thus been rescued
and returned to the rivers, and large
numbers are retained for distribution
by the car and messenger service to
applicants all over the country, these
sloughs being one of the chief sources
OF supply for large mouth black bass
crapple and sunish.
In September, 1904, crew of the
employees of the Bellevue Iowa, station
engaged in rescuing food and game fish
es from the overfiowed islands adioin-
ing the Mississippi in 10 Daviess Coup-
ty, Illinois, were set upon by the sheriff
of that county and imprisoned over
night. The alleged ground for this ar
rest was violation Of the State law.
