WHY RIVERS OVERFLOW.
Some Streams Make Their Beds Toe
 Small For Flood Tides.


 Small For Flood Tides.
 "A river is not made to order. It is nothing more nor less than the acci- dental path made by water in follow ing the line of least resistance" writes Arthur E. Morgan ill an article on Why Rivers Overflow" published in the Scientific American. MT. Morgan goes on to show that the average river has found or made q channel that suf- fees for it in ordinary times. but that in food tide is not large enough to car ry off the water. Some of the figures he gives explain perfectly why certain rivers are in the habit of'overfo wing.
 The Coldwater river. where it enters the flat lands from the hills ill north ern Mississippi. has a capacity of 300 cubic feet per second when full to the top of it's banks. At maximum flood. however, 100000 cubic feet per second pour down it. and it has to overflow.
 The St. Francis river on the boun- diary between Arkansas and Missouri can take care of from 800 to 5000 cubic feet per second. but in flood time it has 100000. and the surplus must overflow. The Miami river in Ohio has a normal capacity. varying at different points from per cent to per cent of it's ma Ximum overflow. The Mississippi near the mouth of the Red river. has a normal flow of 100000 cubic feet d SC, ond: when full to the top of its banks it can carry about 100000 cu- bic feet. When all it's tributaries are ill food it has to carry 2,5OO,OO0 cubic feet a second. As it's banks are higher than the surrounding plains. these in evitably receive the overflow.

CHLOROFORM IN FICTION.
1t Acts In a Manner That Surprises
 the Medical Experts.

the Medical Experts. Every now and then stories appear about individuals and even whole | terprising burglars. A report of that
 kind ill New York city induced the New York Herald to interview number of experts on the subject with the result of obtaining verdict that should ef-
 sectively dispose of that sort of fiction | for all time, but probably will not. as previous exposures have failed. These medical witnesses pointed out l it generally requires the undivided at
 nurses to induce q willing patient to yield to the fumes. If. it is suggested. the burglars nave found more expe- | ditious mode of administration the
 medical world would be glad to hear l of it. Dr. James J. Walsh, an authori- | ty on anaesthesia, said that the appli- cation of chloroform soaked cloth to a victims nostrils would produce a l burning sensation that would at once
 arouse the sleeper.
 Dr. J. T. Gwathmey. author of text l book on anaejtheSla, said bluntly that ! it is not possible to chloroform q grown 1 person while asleep. Another expert said he could not see how person | could be anaesthetized without realiz- l ing the fact and instances slight wo- man patient who required four at tendants to hold her while being put
 under the influence of chloroform on
 the operating table.
 Tales of wholesale chlOroforming. ei- l ther by saturated cloths or atomizers. may therefore. in view of this testi- mony, be relegated to the realm of the | imaginary.

YES, SHE DID KNOW.
And Proved 1t to Her Critical Old
 Singing Master.

And Proved 1t to Her Critical Old
 Singing Master.
 Many years ago. in an old French church in Berne. a great choir under the famous old leader. Father Reichel was having it's final rehearsal for the production of the Messiah" The chorus had triumphantly sung through to the place where the soprano solo takes up the refrain. 'l Know That My Redeemer Liveth." The singer was a beautiful woman. whose voice had been faultlessly trained. As the tones came out high and clear the listeners were filled with wonder at her per feet technique. Her breathing was faultless. her note placing perfect. her enunciation beyond criticism.
 After the final note there was a pause. and all eyes were turned toward the old conductor to catch his look of approval Great was the surprise however. when a sharp rap of the baton was heard, as command for the orchestra to pause, and with look of sorrow Father ReicheI said to the singer. My daughter, you do not real ly know that your Redeemer liveth. do you?"
 With a flushed face she replied. Why. yes. l think l do."
 Then sing 1t" he cried. Sing 1t from your heart. Tell it to me so ! and all who hear you will know and know that you know the joy and pow CT of 1t" Then with an imperious gesture he motioned for the orchestra to go over 1t again.
 This time the young woman sang with no thought of herself or of tech nique and applause from her hearers. She sang the truth that she knew in her heart and experienced in her life and that she wished to send home to the hearts of the listeners As the last notes died away there was no wonder at the craftsman's work. but there were quickened hearts that had been moved by the glorious message they had received. As the singer stood forgetful of applause. the old master stepped up and with tears in his eyes kissed her on the forehead and said. You do know, for you have told me" Exchange.

In the highlands of Scotland and in Ireland May was called Beltane. This was the name of an ancient pa- gan festival. traces of which have sur vived to this day.

When the Kaiser Was a Boy.

The marriage of Queen Alexandra was the first ceremonial function which the kaiser was allowed to attend. He was then a small and fdgety boy of five, and during the ceremony his un- cles, the Dukes of Connaught and Edinburgh, were told off to sit on either side of him and keep him in order. Presently he began to shuff1e his feet, and warning nudge admon- ished him, whereupon, according to Bishop Wilberforce, who witnessed the incident, the future war lord knelt down and bit both uncles in the calves of their legs so savagely that they had much ado to keep from crying out.- London Mail.

Railroad Caboose Burned

Last Monday afternoon, at about four
O'Clock, while the way freight going west
was at the station, shifting and doing its
ordinary business. fire was discovered in
the caboose. which. with part of the
train, was in the east end of the yard, the
caboose being under the dry bridge. The
efforts of the train hands to extinguish
the fire were unavailing. and so the local
fire department was summoned. In
short time stream was turned into the
car, the pressure being so great that it
was but few minutes before the flames
were extinguished. However, the interi-
or of the car was ruined, as well as a
number of freight bills. the clothing Of
the train hands, and in fact about every
thing in the car.
The cause of the fire is said to have
been started by an oil stove on which
the train hands hal cooked their dinner,
although they said they had extinguished
the fire at Morrisville. The stove being
in that end of the car where lanterns
were kept and the floor being saturated
with oil and grease, made material for a
ready fire and might havs ignited from a
match or cigarette carelessly thrown on
the floor. The car was taken to St.
Iohnsbury the next day.
