given to the county board as to true

assessment Senator George S. Sill
ger represents the township and C. c.

WELL OF SODA WATER.
Natural Fountain One of the Wonders
 of California.

One of the most interesting and novel gushing wells in the world, and perhaps without rival in either re- spect, is geyser of soda water that recently came up at Vending, just across the Mendocino county border from Sonoma, Cal.
 This we'll produces soda water genuine soda water-and of quality that would warrant bottling for the general trade in such quantities as were never struck before There is so much of this water that it is turned into huge Hume and used to float great logs from the forest to the lumber mills.
 An artesian well borer was recently employed to secure an adequate water supply for large sawmil in that region. He drilled to a depth of 200 feet, the lower no feet being through solid granite Then a slight trace of water was found The artesian man then placed 54 sticks of dynamite at the bottom of the well and exploded them.
 Instantly water gushed up, rising 20 feet above the surface of the ground pouring forth in enormous volume. That was days ago, and since then there has been no indication of a ces. sation of this vast natural soda foun- tain Scientific American.

UNLUCKY TO MEET WOMAN.
Peculiar Superstition Believed in by
 Irish Fisherman.

Expectations as to it's being un- lucky to meet a woman when setting out to fish, or upon any journey by sea- are not uncommon. From a headland on the Donegal coast the writer was one day anXiously watch ing small smack beating across the bay against heavy sea and stiff breeze, which had suddenly sprung up. After long hard fight for it the little craft made the pier in safe ty, and upon condolences being of
 fered the skipper on his recent hard ships he said: Sure, what better luck could l have? Didn't I meet a red-headed woman in Sligo this morn
 ing the moment I left my lodging to walk down to the boat" In this case the color of the woman's hair and the fact of her being the first person met with after the man left his house seemed to be the determin- ing factors in the days luck But in other places the objection to such an encounter embraces hair of all shades and any hour of the day. it being amply sufficient to bring the ill-luck that any woman should pass you by just as you are walking down to the boat. Only few weeks ago the writer visited a small fishing village on the Galway coast and just before getting on his car to return home was chatting to the landlady of the little inn. A strapping young fisher man, who was walking down the road toward the harbor suddenly stopped, climbed over the fence, and made his way to his boat across the fields. The writer observed to his hostess that the young fellow must have mis. taken him for a process-server with a writ for him. She laughed rather de- risively, and said: Its not you at
