pected that letter or message from
Mr.. Phelan will be received tomorrow

delegates to give Mr.. Diggs a compli-
mentary vote, and at the proper time
it is believed that the state senator
will decline the nomination and ask

sented by Mr.. Bell.

ton occupied portions of the entire day

Crowds Gong to the Circus.

Intense interest has been aroused in
this community by the announcement
that Ringing Brothers immense circus
is to exhibit In Dubois Monday, June 4.
Several big excursions will go from this
vicinity and local people will be we'll
represented at the big show. Those
who go from here should make every
effort to arrive in time to see the mag
nificent new free street parade, which
is given in the morning preceding the
opening performance. Three miles of
parade glories are divided into thirty
sections and each section is show in
itself-a parade such as the world has
never seen before. In this wonderful
display are shown 100 beautiful dens,
lairs and cages of rare wild animals, a
herd of forty big and little elephants,
$50 horses, and 1880 people. One
section of the procession is devoted to
magnificent and costly floats, represent
ing Germany, Russia, England, France,
India, Persia, Scotland, the United
States, and other countries. The per-
formance that follows, and which in
cludes the superb spectacular produc-
tion of The Field Of the Cloth of Gold,
is the most magnificent display of arenic
wonders ever presented by any amuse-
ment enterprise in America. The
menagerie is filed to overhowing with
rare beasts and birds, including the
only baby elephant bred and success
fully raised in the United States, the
only rhinocerous in captivity and the
last living pair Of giratfes.

was genius in his way and owed his
success chiefly to his skill in disguis-
ing slight deformities and bringing out
the most attractive charms of his fair
customers. He rapidly made fortune

Making Bread with Sea Water.

At one time sea water was used In
some English seaside places when max
ing bread. Even now villages along the
coast line of France utilize it. Fresh
rain or spring water is only used for
the leaven, pure sea water being exclu-
slyely employed for the making and
mixing of the dough. BY this method
no mineral or table salt requires to be
added, the natural salt water giving
the bread the necessary degree of sa-
Unity. But, though sea water does ad
mirably for breadmaking, when ap
piled to other culinary purposes the
result is a disagreeable failure. The
wheaton bread produced by it, how
ever, is excellent and Of great hygienic
value. The chloride of magnesium,
which imparts the acrid taste to sea
water, is decomposed in the heating
and therefore does not convey It's origi-
nal disagreeable taste to the bread,
while the common salt, of course, per-
manently retains all its characteristic
saline properties. The mineral sub
stances left in the baked bread are con-
sidered to be Of the nature of very mild
regulating medicines.-London Mail.

The Tailor Bird.

The brilliantly plumed birds of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and if they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful instincts they
would fall ready victims to their enc
mics. Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their offspring are preyed upon by foes
on every side. But it takes Il sly mon
key or snake to get ahead of the tailor
bird, a small East Indian singing bird.
She hides her nest 50 skillfully that her
enemies cannot find it, no matter how
hard they try. This she does by using
her long, slender bill rs needle. With
the tough fiber of parasitic plant
abundant in the tropics, as thread
she sews dead leaf taken from the
end of n slender and hanging branch,
and between these leaves she builds
her nests. where neither monkey nor
snake can approach, because the
branch will not bear its weight.

illuminate of Mercury.

A popularity of illuminate of mer-
curry is that it produces a shock to
which. all other substances are sensi-
NE; and Its supreme value as an ex-
plosive rests in this fact and in the
known liability of all explosives to be
detonated by more or less distant ex-
plosions. There is current of sympa-
thetic influence in these terrible chem
ical compositions that is as strange as
it is dangerous. What is required to
produce explosion is the rapid genera
.tion of great heat along with large
quantities of oxygen. In gunpowder,
for instance. the nitrate Of potash
(saltpeter), which is the chief ingre-
dent, is practically imprisoned oxygen,
and when it is decomposed along with
charcoal an immense heat is developed,
which causes the gases to expand sud,
denly; hence explosion.

A Miniature Inland Ocean.

One of the queerest sheets of water
in New England or within the limits of
the United States. or the world for
that matter, is the celebrated Shows
ocean in the state Of Maine. When
calm it is to all appearances an ordinary
pond of no great dimensions but OBJ
servations and investigations made
more than century ago prove that the
little body Of water Is veritable
ocean. 1t is located in Orrington, near
Bangor. and its peculiarity is that, al
though situated among some high hills
some distance from ocean or river, 1t
has tides which rise and fall as regular
ly as do those of the great Atlantic.
Many so called scientific examinations
of this miniature oceans bed and sur
rounding banks have been made, but
so far no tenable explanation of the
phenomenon has ever been given to the
public.
