one night a few weeks since an operator
in charge of lonely wireless telegraph
station on the North Atlantic coast caught
three distinct taps" or flashes on his In
strument. He could not recognize the cail as
any he knew. nor did he appear 10 nave
Intercepted a message, for the flashes were
not repeated. The next night the taps
came again almost at the same hour, ana
when the thing happened again the thlro
night the operator did some energetic
thinking.
There was something about those mys-
.erious signals which seemed uncanny. They
did not sound to him like any other he had
heard before.
So he told another man at a station far
Their down the coast. and to his surprise
this operator. too. had received the same
signals at the same hour.
And up and down the coast the news ran
only to be confirmed by every man who
worked a wireless key.

That the canals were cut with pre-

That water was exceedingly scarce on
the planet save that which came from the
melting Of the polar cap.
That water being scarce and the canals

waterways had been dug for the purpose
Of irrigation.
That the canals red from a greenish-bue-
colored region to Il red-ochre-colored portion
of the planet. which appeared to be arid
land, and that patches of presumably fer
tile land dotted the canal routes. indicating
that the irrigation process had made great
GASES in the huge desert.
That the greenish blue or presumably fer
tile portions changed with the seasons, as
though influenced by the development of
vegetation.
Prof Lowell saw also that the canals
were of tremendous size. the lines appear

Where the tents are most numerous~is
about High Island dam This dam curves
from shore to shore of the river, here about
a quarter of a mile wide. and holds the
river In check to feed the Georgetown
level OF the canal Over the dam the river
pours and boils and fumes and sprays and
eddies with a boom that fills the air for
miles around with the sound of surge. Be
low the DAM the river is thick-strewn with
giant rocks and islets covered with the
green of sycamore and willow. High Is
land, a jungle-grown land. lies below the
dam and Snake Island and Sycamore Is
land above.
1t is in the deep woods along both shores
of the river between High and Sycamore
Islands that the largest number of camps
may be found Some OF them are rather
plain and others approach the sumptuous,
but all are homelike and hospitable.
Anyhow, If you do not care to visit he
camps, take the walk along the canal tow
path and rest yourself on the beauty OF
the country. Watch the passing boats and
the working of the locks The view in the
canal picture is looking upstream and
shows lock closed for a down boat.

CONFEDERATION PREVENTED.
Telephone Night Operator at Putnam
 Arouses Whole Neighborhood.

The presence of mind of the night op- orator at the Putnam exchange of the Southern New England Telephone com pany prevented a serious fire in East Woodstock a few nights ago. Shortly before ? o'clock the operator broke in on a line just in time to bear some one cry Help! Fire!' The operator found the number of the wire on which the call came in and began to ring up all the parties on 1t. She told each one that there was fire in the neighbor- hood and that the people needed help.
 One of the subscribers whom she reached gave her a list of names to call for assistance. While calling one, the operator looked up the number of another, and so on until she had arous- ed the entire neighborhood and started all the men for the scene of the blaze.
 The fire was in the two story farm house of H. B. Andrews. He, his wife and four children were awakened by the smell of smoke and finding that it was impossible to save even their cloth ing, ran across the road to the house of MT. Lyon, and there called on the phone for help. The arrival of the neighbors called by the operator saved the home of MT. Lyon, which had caught fire, and the barns on MT. An drews' place. Had it not been for this both houses which are five miles in the country, would have been burned to the ground.

GROWTH, BY MISS TODI

Growth. A novel by Graham Travers (Dr Margaret Todd). p,p. 470 Henry Holt x Co.
 We are inclined to the opinion that this is one of the strongest novels of an unusually prolific season. It is a brilliant picture of modern university life in Scotland as it reflects the fer ment in religious thought and feeling now taking place there. Scotland is almost the largest stronghold of those grim old beliefs which dominated the world with a rod of iron for 300 years or more The handful of defenders rallied to their support are in the last ditch. Calvinism dies hard because it is difficult for the Scotman to loosen his grip on the good old faith" and become happier in the new He hugs the inconsistencies and dismalness of the old. The "conteentions" which they provoke are the breath of life to him. The struggle for religious free- dom in Scotland has developed strik- ing changes in thought there. From musty dogmatics to agnosticlsm is ex- plicable but mirable dictui from the latter to Roman Catholicism appears at first sight an extraordinary permu- tation for a Scotchman to compass. No other country has seen fiercer dis sent from Romish doctrine, nowhere else has contumely and judgment been so harsh, and let us add that the spectacle of a Scotchman going to con fession sinks very slowly into the com- prehension. But it is impossible for the Scottish mind to dwell in the col orless atmosphere of negation Ag- nosticism as a final resort does not appeal to it; there must be dement's" to hang to, something to make pro and con. Religion without hairs to split would be intolerable.
 Upon this background of religius turmoil and sharp transition the au- thor of Growth has projected her story The inevitable conflict of thought between the elders of the kirk, the older university teachers, and eager, audac.ous, prophetic youth is depicted with the sure touch of a mas ter craftsman. One follows intently the public debates, the discussions and watches and intolerant shadow of church discipline creeping toward this or that reealcitrant. And yet, in spite of this intellectual fencing a large and vital human interest permeates the story and awakens in the reader a quick response.
 Judith Lemaistre. the heroine, stands out as one of the few delightfully."- con- vincing characters in recent fiction. Indeed to find her compeer perhaps we must turn to George Eliot's Middle march In her way Judith is as mas terful a creation as Dorothea Brooke.
