It is fanked ON either side by those

GIANT WORK OF GLACIER.
Electric Power Being Generated by
Melted Ice of the Northwest
ern Mountains.

From the glacial streams of Tacoma 10
already generated very large quantity
Of electric power, which is being utilized
not only for power, but for heating and
lighting as well. To give an idea OF the
diversity of uses for the current, says
the Technical World Magazine, 1t may
be stated that it operates the electric
railway systems in the cities of Seattle
and Tacoma aggregating 1853 miles Of
trolley line, in addition to cable railways
situated in the billy portions Of these
cities. Besides this service, however,
current is furnished for one of the most
notable interurban electric railways In
the United States, that extending be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma, where power
is secured from the third rail in connec-
ton with the multiple-unit system
This line is employed not only for pas
senger service, but for transporting
freight and express material, and ranks
among the most completely equipped
electric systems in the world. The
horse power required for a number Of
the largest industries In the city of Ia
coma, including the shops Of the North
ern Pacific railway and the water-works
pumping plant. is also obtained from
this source; while illumination, for
streets and buildings, in both Seattle
and Tacoma, depends upon it to con-
siderable extent. The demand for pow
er is increasing so rapidly that within
few years Mount Tacoma will be supply
ing fully 100000 horsepower to the
cities mentioned.

FISHES WITH GEMS in THEM
Pretty Story Of Some Rich Finds Re-
lated by a Piscatorial
Narrator.

Zone might as well say that fish in
clude pearls" was the retort made by
a Woolwich magistrate to q travelling
purveyo- of pills who sought to con-
vince him that he did not require q
peddler's certificate to vend his wares,
seeing that they were made from gen.
tian, and as such came under the ex-
cepted head of vegetables" We are
not anxious to open up controversy
either botanical or geological, says the
Dundee Advertiser, but we rather
think the Woolwich justice would
have revised the dictum he employed
to oon1ute the itinerant pill merchant
had he read the interesting news
whichva Bristol correspondent has
purveyed to the London press. All
the anglers of the pretty village OF
Portishead, at the mouth Of the Avon,
are to be seen daily. at the dock at
present eagerly casting their lines IN
the hope of securing fish containing
a gem of marketable value. And these
good folk have solid reasons for the
expectancy that fills their breasts.
Lately, we are told, good-sized fish
was landed, and when 1t came to be
dissected on the domestic table it was
found to include" a diamond ring de-
clared to be worth from G25 to ESQ.
So, on the principle that what has
been may be, the Portishead anglers
are now in constant attendance at
their dock. The story is pretty one,
and is told with all the charming
nalvette of the piscatorial narrator.
Angling" writes Isaak Walton in his
quaint way, "is something like poetry
men are to be born So" 1t is also
like poetry in the wonderful way in
which it stimulates the imagination
and exalts the hopes. We in Scotland,
however, sad to relate, seem to come
less under it's inspiring influence than
our English friends. All we can pro-
duce at this empty season is the land.

GREAT SLAUGHTER OF GAME
Thousands Upon Thousands Of Wild
Animals Destroyed in South
Africa.

During the four months of the
shooting season Of 1904 something
like 10000 head Of game has been
sold on the Kimberley market. Those
ngures were rather staggering, but it
b surprising, perhaps, to hear that
they had more than doubled during
the present year.
The secretary Of the Game Protec-
kion association had obtained q return
krom the lnarketmaster which showed

TO TRAP WOLF AND BEAR
Pig and Sheep the Attractive Bait
Used to Ensnare the
Invaders.

The increase in the number Of bears
and wolves in the upper peninsula and
that Of the wolf bounty provided for
by the legislature has stimulated some
of the old hunters of the lower penin-
sula, who hunted "bear and wolf"
south Of the straits, to cross the chan
mel and bait for them there. An old
method Of trapping will be employed,
says the Stephenson (Mich.) Journal.
The plan Is to build two trap pens,
one for bears, the other for wolves.
In the first pig will be used for bait
and the bear watched for and dosed
with lead before he can reach the
pork, it being claimed that a clear
nosed bear, free from catarrh, can
smell O pig four miles and will leave
any other scent and 90 after the pig,
which is a great dainty for the bears
palate.
In the wolf trap sheep will play the
part of tempter. The pen is built
smallest at the top, high enough to re-
strain the sheep and low enough to
admit the wolf. There is an opening
at tho apex, large enough for the wolf
to jump through when he comes to
get acquainted with the sheep and
take a midnight lunch with him.
When the wolf is in, he surveys the
dining room and tries to make sure
that he can get out where he came in
before beginning the banquet. AS soon
as he finds that he cannot he loses his
appetite and the hunter finds him in
the morning.
