The witness was taken to the police

sumed. The height of possible stor-
age depends on number of factors:
as to whether the drainage area above
is sufficient to contribute the amount
of water to fill the reservoir to that
height; whether the topography at the
dam site is such that it will be
feasible from a financial standpoint to
build a dam; or whether settlements
around the shores of the lake will
prevent raising to the height as con-
templated. Neither time nor funds
have been sufficient for such accurate
studies for the various sites in the
State and in most cases where accur-
ate knowledge is not available, either
the or 10 foot depth is assumed.
The organic law of the Water Stor-
age Commission directs that there be
made report of a comprehensive
plan of reservoir storage for the entire
State.
The I'd annual report of the COM
mission, which is now in the hands of
the printer, includes tables of the vari-
Gus lakes and ponds for a portion of
the river basins of the State giving
for each lake the water surface area
in square miles. the present storage in
feet and cubic feet and the possible
storage in feet and cubic feet. The
following are the basins included in
this report: st. John, st. Croix, Coas-
tai No. |, Machias. Coastal No. z,
Union, Penobscot and Androscoggin.
The detailed capacity tables for the
lakes of the other basins have not yet
been worked up but they will appear
in the Sd annual report next year.

RODENT ANTICS
Short Circuits Wires and Plunges
City Into Darkness

Sioux Falls, Nov. 13.--One misstep
by a rat which with two companions
was doing the 'tu rkey trot' on the
top Of a switch board at the steam
plant Of the Light and Power con-
pany, plunged the entire city into
darkness for about ten minutes early
Sunday night and incidently cost the
rodent it's life because of its awkward.
ness in doing the fancy whirls.
The rats were enjoying the novelty
Of a dance on top of the death dealing
switch board, when one Of them in
doing the backward glide, Slipped
and stepped on two high voltage feed
wires. Instantly the frolicsome rat
was removed from the land Of the
living, while the entire city was
plunged into darkness, until here and
there y long forgotten candle made its
appearance to cast a meager and flicker
ing light. where before, all had been
brilliantly light.
It was not long, however, before
the engineers at the power plant had
removed the body of the e~lectrocutei
rat from the wires and made ths
necessary repairs aud the lights were
n again.

Fourth of July Celebration.

New York, Aug. 1o.-Crescent. the resi-
Dental district of Montclair. y. J.. is
celebrating the arrival Of the grackles
and starlings with a nightly jamboree
resembling a Fourth OF July celebration,
Chinese New Year. and a sham battle
all in one. Roman candles are dis
charged. but at. and not for. the birds.
It's no joyous celebration. at that.
not a sane Fourth affair. The good
folk at Crescent wish to sleep. and the
noisy grackles and noisier starlings.
which have come from far ard wide
to a great convention. hold nightly ses-
sions with millions of delegates clam
-oring for a chance to be heard. and sleep
Is impossible.
So the aid OF the State game warden
has been invoked. Every night the bird
convention Is disturbed with musketry
and bells and fireworks. in the hope that
adjournment will be taken to some other
place.
Last night some Of the bird delegates
found the limbs on which they had their
reserved seats cut down, and they left
in disgust. going over 10 Midland Ave
nue., Glenridge. where there was every
indication that a rump convention was
in process OF organization.
Early this morning thousands Of the
grackles were fiocking in that direction
and the people Of Crescent were elated.
