PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORDS.

The Water Resources branch of the
United States Geological Survey has
been collecting data on the flow of
streams in Colorado for over twenty
years. These records are published in
annual reports and other publications
of the survey. Practically all data up
to and including 1900 have been com
piled and published in one pamphlet.
Water Supply No. "A. The annual rec
ords since that time have been pub
lished separately in various water sup.
ply papers.
This information has been obtained
for the benefit of the public, and the
publications are issued free to those
desiring them. The officials of the
Geological Survey are very glad to
give out information or to distribute
any literature which they may have;
also to assist in interpreting results.
requests for continuation of old sta
ions. or the establishment of gazing
stations on new streams are given care
'ul consideration. The accompanying
able summarizes by years the streams
upon which records have been main
aimed. In some cases data have been
btained for only a few months dur
1g a year, while in others they are
or the full twelve month period. This

with power development.
In addition to these records, several
hundred miscellaneous measurements of
streams throughout the state have been
made

FOREST BURNING AGAIN.


The past few days have been ones OF
greatest anxiety again in nearly all
parts of Baraga county, especially SO
in Baraga and L'Anse. Thursday q
high wind arose and famed what was
dying embers into seething, raging and
destructive forest fires, and pieces of
timber lands which escaped the serious
ones of August and September months
are either charred masses or in serious
danger.
Near Baraga three or four serious
fires are burning, also some in the
vicinity of Keweenaw Bay, and at
L'Anse the village is hemmed in on
nearly every side by dangerous fires,
while in the vicinity of Huron BAY un-
told damage is being wrought, and in
fact the whole county seems to be en-
veloped in cloud of smoke. From all
appearance nothing short of prolonged
downpour of rain will suppress the fire.
1t is stated upon good authority that
many of the fires this time are the out
come ofpersons who are burning stump
age and slashings on lands which they
are clearing. IL this is the case, it is
pretty near time that such condition of
affairs were investigated and the offend
ers punished, for certainly no worse
time in the year could be chosen for
such work.

A Popular Attraction.

Thursday evening the Prentice Vaude-
vile and Trained Animal Show opened
weeks engagement in the Opera
House and are being greeted with
crowded houses. The bill which the
company presents is an exceptionally
strong one, introducing troupe of
trained bears, dogs, birds and doves,
also many excellent vaudeville numbers
in which both Mr.. and Mrs. Prentice
work to splendid advantage. The man.
ner in which Mrs. Prentice handles her
dumb pets is marvellous and in many
instances puts many shows of the kind
to shame. Mr.. Prentice is a man OF
decidedly versatile nature, which is
displayed in the various roles in which
he appears. The attraction is popr
lar priced one and is worthy of attend.

WHY WE SLEEP.
Darkness and Our Eyes the Answer,
Says q Scientist.

Darkness and Our Eyes the Answer,
Says a Scientist.
If it were always daylight we should
never sleep. So says a scientist.
There is no particular reason why we
or any other animals should rest on
an average eight or nine hours a day.
The period of rest has been deter
mined by the fact that eight hours is
the average time when there is a lack
Of sufficient light to enable us to move
about In comfort.
This most fundamental distinction
between day and night is wholly rela-
tive to the Of sight. 1t only at
fects those types of life which have
developed eyes.
Plants. being dependent for their
growth upon the action of rays Of
sunlight which fall upon their leaves,
have a wide distinction between day
and night functions. They eat and
digest In the light and grow during
the hours Of darkness.
The lowest forms of animal life
the sightless denizens Of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl around necessarily, seeking
prey by the n Of touch alone.
When they rest it is at irregular pc
RODS. In other words, they have no
distinct periodicity Of their own.
But as 500 Is eyes are developed,
and in proportion Of this development,
animals begin to divide their time into
two main %portions-a waking and a
sleeping time. While there is light
they perform all motive functions.
When darkness comes they retire to
nest or lair to rest.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

PATE DE FoIE GRAs.
Fearful Cruelty That Makes Thi,
Dainty q Possibility,

Dainty q Possibility.
To the ordinary man and woman no
conception Of the torture to which the
poor, unfortunate goose is put could
possibly be formed.
The geese when about nine months
old are taken from the pastures and
placed In an underground cellar, where
broad, slanting stone slabs stand in
rows, and are bound fast to the Ia.
bles. They are literally crucifed.
Feet, wings and bodies are spread
out and bound by bands, so that only
the neck is left free. AS may be imag-
ined, the animal struggles with all it's
might against this stretching till, after
days Of vain endeavor to free itself
from the bands and its position, it's
powers Of resistance are overcome, and
a dull resignation, broken only by its
low cries, takes possession of It. Two
months must pass away before death
brings relief.
The animals are meanwhile crammed
with dumplings made Of dough of
buckwheat, chestnuts and stewed
maize. Every two hours, six times a
day, they receive from three to i've
dumping pills, which in time become
SO sweet to the tortured creatures that
they stretch their necks to be cram
med.
The most difficult task is to deter
mine the right moment for death.
Those who die of their own accord ara
lost to the liver factory; therefore a
kind of study is needed to see when
the cup Of agony is trimming full and
the liver is ripe for taking. The bod
les of such ripe ones are like pump
kins. Where ordinarily fingers are
buried in flesh and fat nothing but
skin and bone are found. The livers
have absorbed all the strength and

Chinese Athletics.

The Chinese have always had athlet-
ic exercises of a sort in which they
have rather prided themselves, though
none ever seem to have taken such a
hold on the nation as ours have on US
during the last century or so. They
have plenty Of stories Of strong men
capable Of welding extraordinary
weapons, Of bending wondrous bows or
of lifting heavy weights, etc.
Even within the last few years feats
of archery were done before an officer
could get his commission in the army,
and in almost any village there Is a
bamboo with a pierced stone at either
end to test the strength Of the rising
generation in lifting. But there was
nothing of regular athletic training, ex-
cept for few wrestlers perhaps, be-
fore foreigners came.-Shanghai Mer-

DREAMING OF POLITICS

Dear Aunt Laurie: have been wait

any. 1 am anyway going to tell you
what I dreamed two weaks ago.
dreamed that 1 was going to school and
1 couldn't find my way. After /
walked little way met some people.
I asked them if they would show me
the way to the schoolhouse. They told
me what way to go. 1 got to the
school in a few minutes. l saw the
White House next to the school. Bryan
and Taft were there. The rooms of the
White House were so beautiful. There
was a beautiful lawn in the front yard.
There were SO many pretty flowers.
Bryan and Taft were sitting upon a
platform ready to be voted for. All
the teachers voted for Taft and all the
school children voted for Bryan and
Bryan got the most votes and was
president of the United States. We
all went in the White House and had
good things to eat. But Taft went
home, because he was not president
1 was glad Bryan was president. But
when l awoke it was only dream.
