Not all the volume of the river is received at this place, however, the rest of the water running out past it into the wide el- | bow formed by the bend, and circling along the further shore among many rocks and islands before reaching the ledge of the cliff, over which the de- fscent is made in two great leads of a hundred feet each, in vast semi-oir- cle of three thousand feet. The total length of Igua2u Falls, if measured at the upper edge of the cliff, through their broken contour, including inter secting islets, is twice as great as that of Niagara, including the intersection of Goat Island.

 The scenery surrounding Iguazu Falls is in peculiar harmony with the solemn grandeur of the cataract and its varied character.

DIR, ANDERSON IN TOWN.

The Rev. Joseph Anderson, D.D., so long pastor of the Fisrt Congregational church in this city and now of Wood mont, where he fills the office of war, den, was in town to-day, August 6, ana said that he regrets very much that owing to a previous engagement to preach in Naugatuck next Sunday, he Will not be able to attend the dedica- tton of the Catholic church at Wood mont. As warden of the borough he would naturally be looked for and it would afford him much pleasure to be the most robust appearing men on the public streets of Waterbury, is now very much reduced in flesh and those who used to know him during his pas- torate at the First church would Scarcs, lv recognize him to-day. He says he has lost thirty pounds in flesh since leaving Waterbury His ailment is stomach trouble. Speaking about Mrs. Russell of Hillside avenue, who was badly burned at her summer residence in New York, Dr. Anderson said he had just come from the neighborhood where the family live and heard her spoken of as a model woman. Her husband he said is a Protestant. but Mrs. Russell and their shildren are Roman catholics.
 Talking about his long ministerial life in waterbury, the doctor said that owing to a misrepresentation in one of the newspapers he was in bad favor for A time with the Catholics, but in time inc error was discovered and his neigh bors commenced to see him in a more favorable light, The Catholic church, he said, is a wonderful institution and the person who pretends to judge it without a great deal of training is mak- ing a serious blunder. The more one studies it the more readily he under stands why its ministers have to devote so much of their lives fitting them selves to be competent to propound it's doctrines to the world. The doctor re ferred feelingly to the death of Mas. Mason, mother of Mrs. John P. Kellogs, who, he said, was for years a staunch member of the First church, an organ, ization which has lost several of its most valued members during the past few years, four out of committee of five who selected the successor to Dr. Anderson, having already been called away.-Waterbury Democrat.

was a flash and a puff and the whole
 scene was brilliantly illuminated. In- stead of running away, the bears looked at the sky and then at each other as much as to inquire why there should be flash o: lightning on such
 a clear night To my infinite sorrow, an imperfection in my photographing apparatus caused the picture of these three bears, with paws on each others backs, much as elephants are trained
 to do in a circus, to be so dim as to be useless for halftone reproduction.
 To go ahead with the story, when those bears had recovered from their
 surprise, they proceeded to trace that
 thread to it's source. Fortunately, in- stead of following to toward the came
 ra, they nosed along toward the end which was attached to a spool l had taken the pains to bury that spool in
 the ground, but they dug it up in less time than it takes to tell it. Then they held a serious powwow over the spool accompanied by much sage shaking of heads. After a time they turned about and beat an orderly retreat up the
 trail in the direction whence they had come"
 In all, Mir. wright saw thirty bears
 approach that thread during his more
 than ten days of patient effort to get a photograph. OOf that number not one crossed the thread. Four times was the trap sprung by MT. Bruin, produc- ing a spark in a small battery at tached to the pan containing the flash light powder. one excellent snapshot

A South American Spectacle Rivalling
 the Grandeur of Niagara.
 Tn the heart of South America, at the meeting place of three republics, Brazil, Argntina and Paraguay, nature has chosen the site for a masterpiece .of scenic grandeur to be compared only to the mighty Niagara In majesty, and pronounced by some of the few trav- elers who have seen it to be even greater than it's North merican coun- terpart. The Falls of Iguazu occur at the junction of Iguazu river with the Upper Parana, in a territory famous as the original locality of the Jesuit missions, established in the sixteenth century, the ruins of which may still be seen by those who visit the falls.
 out twelve miles above the falls the River Iguazu makes a sharp bend, all Imost at right angles, giving them greater extent and more varied char | acter than those of Niagara, which to some degree they resemble. $ the riv- CT makes the sharp bend already men tioned the main volume of water Tush-

To Shine the Windows.

Dusty windows are distracting. For
cleaning windows use clean. cold wa.
tor and two chamois feathers, one for
washing the glass and the other for
polishing. The latter should be kept
dry and soft See that the wash leath-
ers are quite clean and do not make
the glass so wet that the water drips
from 1t. Have plenty of clean water
and change 1t frequently, Dip the
chamois in this and rub the panes,
taking care that the corners are not
forgotten. Wiring the cloth tightly,
and go over the surface of the glass
a second time. Then polish with the
other wash leather. Linen or cotton
cloths should not be used. During
frost the least touch of :he hand is
liable to crack the glass. To keep
the windows free from frost apply
little glycerine on dry duster and
brilliant polish will be the result.
