~ Three Years.

Chicago, Aug 14-Twenty-three
days without rain aud then the heav-
lest rain in twenty-three years. This
is the royal way in which the. weather
man responded to the prayer of the
farmers in this region. The parch-
ed corn and the sun-baked fields
were deluged in sheets of water In
the twenty.four hours ended at 6 o.
clock Wednesday night the precipita'
ton was ABS inches. That is the
greatest rainfall experienced In
Chicago since Augusta and 3, 1885
when there was a fall Of 619 inches

END OF TROUT SEASON
No More SpeckIed Beauties After Mid
night on the 18th.

The open season for trout ends to-
night. After midnight the anglers
can put away their fly rods and their
creels until the opening of the next
season, May 10, 1909.
The season which closes tonight
has been good one. During the
early days of the season some fine
catches were made by Bennington
fishermen. The dry weather of mid
die summer lowered the streams SO
that during July and the early part OF
August but few trout were taken, but
the recent rains have produced suffi
cient water to make the closing days
Of the season as good as usual.

Which Was the Sharper?

A countryman visiting London for
the first time got into .cony ersation
with q seedy looking individual, and
during the conversation he let drop
the remark that he would. not mind
giving half a crown to see a real Lon
don sharper, says Casselrs Magazine.
Well, keep it dark" said the other.
"but ! don't mind telling you that /
am ones"
IF that's so" said the countryman,
i suppose I'll ha' to give thee the
'arf crown" This he did, with the re.
mark, "But let's haze some O thy
tales"
Accordingly the supposed sharper re.
lated several good yarns, and the
countryman, much pleased. said:
Well, thee must be real London
sharper. Just gle me that 'arf crown
back and IN gle thee 8 shillings."
Without hesitation the bogus sharp
or returned the half crown, holding out
his hand for the promised shHlings,
whereupon. to his establishment, the
countryman pocketed the coin and
made of, with the remark:
"Thee's no sharper or theed "a kept
the art crown when thee lad It." .

Literary Condolences.

Tennyson said of a strange literary
coincidence, "a Chinese scholar some
time ago wrote to me saying that in an
unknown untranslated Chinese poem
there were two whole lines Of mine al
most word for word" Byron In his
monody on the death of Sheridan,
where he says there will never be an
other Sheridan, the mold being broken
up, employs, word for word, terms In
which an ancient Sanskrit document
refers to the death Of Maru, notwith-
standing that Byron could never have
seen the document. Shakespeare
passage about love and lightning in
Romeo and Juliet" Il, 2, is almost
identical with quotation from ma
lata and Madhava," an Indian poem
by Bhavabuti, written nine centuries
before and not translated up to Shake
speare's time.

The Crack In the Plate,

There was company to dinner at
Nellie's house in South Broad street,
and the diners were enjoying the first
course, which consisted Of oyster soup.
Nellie made away with hers for some
time in silence until she had nearly
cleaned the plate, when she suddenly
paused and, looking at her mother
across the table, said in a stage wills
per:
Mamma, what you fink? Dere's a

Artesian Wells.

The theoretical explanation Of the
phenomenon is easily understood. The
secondary and tertiary geological for
nations often present the appearance
of immense basins, the boundary or
rim of the basin having been formed
by an upheaval of adjacent strata In
these formations it often happens that
a porous stratum, consisting Of sand
sandstone, chalk or other calcareous
matter, is included between two imper-
meable layers Of clay so as to form a
fat porous q tube, continuous from
side to side Of the valley, the outcrop
on the surrounding hills forming the
mouth of the tube. The rain altering
down through the porous layer to the
bottom Of the basin forms there sub
terranean pool, which, with the liquid
or semiliquid column pressing upon it,
constitutes a sort Of huge natural by
drostatic bellows. Sometimes the pres
sure on the superintendent crust is so
great as to cause an upheaval or dis
turbance of the valley. It is obvious,
then, that when a hole is bored down
through the upper impermeable layer
to the surface OF the lake the water VIII;
be forced up by the natural lawof water
seeking its level to a height above the
surface Of the valley, greater Or less,
according to the elevation Of the level
In the feeding column, thus forming a
natural fountain on precisely the same
principle as. that Of most artificial foun-
tains, where the water supply comes
from d considerable height above the

INDlA's WHITE ANTS.
Only One Kind Of Wood, Sandal, Can
Withstand Their Attacks.

Only One Kind of Wood, Sandal, Can
Withstand Their Attacks.
Insects Of various kinds are peren-
NAL plague to Indian jewellers, tea
growers and others.
The tea bushes in the Assam gardens
have no less than four destructive enc
mics, from which no means of escape
has yet been devised by man. These
are the bark eating borer, the sand
witch caterpillar, the mosquito and the
white ant, all Of which attack the bush
and do immense damage.
By far the worst of these plaques is
the white ant, the mosquito merely at
tacking the leaves and causing blight.
The ants, however, begin at the roots
and eat upward, reducing the wood to
powder and leaving only the bark to
support the top, which soon topples
over by reason of it's own weight.
There is no Indian wood which would
resist the ants insidious attack except
sandal. 1t delights in reducing pine
and white wood to powder. 1t can
not work in the light, but must get at
the wood from some dark recess and
work within shell.
In some mysterious way the white
ant gets indoors and has a particular
penchant for penetrating into veneer
ed or lacquered picture frame, and in
short time nothing will remain but the
veneer or Lacquer, nothing else being
left but small portion Of the powder,
the rest being consumed or removed.
The method of attack is by emitting
a kind of acid, which destroys the
wood. And this ant has been known
to, bore holes through the sheet iron
bottoms Of trunks. Several long, sup
porting joists in consular building In
Calcutta We're eaten out SO completely
that they had to be replaced with
steel ones.
While these destructive white ants
do not seem to possess much literary
taste, they sometimes attack books
and destroy them by boring holes
through leaves and cover from side to
side.
An English resident in an Indian city
had fine set Of upholstered furniture,
which he protected by some covering
as well as he could before leaving his
home for an absence Of some months
on business, and when he returned he
sat down in chair, which collapsed

times. He was wrong. Another nota-
BILE computer, one Ludolph van Ceulen,
continued his calculations as long as he
lived and at his death had the result
inscribed on his tombstone at st. Pc
ter's church. Leyden.
Yet third enthusiast worked out the
calculation to more than 100 places of
decima1s and even then did not get SO
near as Peter Metius, who guessed at
his answer. This latter lucky gentle
man asserted that the diameter is to
the circumference as 113 Is to 1856. This
IL 60 nearly right that the error would
be less than foot In a circle with d
1000 mile radius.
For a long time this approximation
was as near as any one got, but In 1858
q lady mathematician went one better.
Here is her formula: "From three d.
ameters deduct eight thousandths and
seven millionths Of a diameter, and to
the result add 3 per cent" We have
then not QUITE enough, but the shortage
is only at the rate Of about an inch
and sixteenth of an inch in 14,000
miles. Finally, an Englishman named
Shanks succeeded in reducing by more
than one-half even this well nigh In
fnitesimal error, and there for the
present the matter rests.
It may be Of Interest to note, how
ever, that some little while back man
made a great hubbub. In London be-
cause he had not obtained the reward
which he alleged had been offered for
the discovery Of the correct solution,
although he claimed to have arrived at
It. He said he did it by actual meas
urement, and it was found on investi-
cation that he had constructed box
wood disk Of twelve inches in diameter
which he rolled along 4 straight rail.
