The Broad was far ahead Of anything
ever known before in the history of
the stream.
Officials of the Southern Power
Company did nothing but watch the
rising waters. At Lookout the water
was higher than ever before. Indeed
there are no records in over 100
years that approach the present lev.
els. The dam was constructed to
such food as this was never consid.
cred. The fact that the great pile
of reinforced concrete was able to
stand was a splendid tribute to the
work Of the contractors and those
that designed it.
A dramatic incident in connection
with the breaking Of the Seaboard
trestle in the afternoon was the pres
ence of at least a hundred or more
spectators along the trestle just a few
moments before the crash came, but
some wiseacre gave warning of the
close proximity of danger and nearly
everybody left the bridge before the
break came. With the exception of
two boys, who we're almost in the
middle of the structure when it be-
gan to bend and snap. Their quick
ness alone saved them. With a dash
they escaped to an adjoining span
before the broken part of the struc-
ture gave away and were greeted
with cheers by many Of the b~stand.

Salt Water Cataracts.

There are good many salt water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiords,
or arms of the sea, are INSTRUCTED by
barriers of rock. The rising tide flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water Is held back at the ebb
until it breaks over the obstruction In
an irresistible torrent Most curious
of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas
sage, where the island OF Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the food tide from the
gulf Of Georgia to the southwark Is
held back at a narrow cleft between
two islands until it pours over In
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume of the
Rhine. At the turn Of the tide, how
ever, the waters from the north rush
back into the gulf, producing cascade
of equal height and volume. The wa
terfall actually flows both ways.

The Family Look.

No eloquence OF tongue, nothing that
stands written In any book, may sway
the heart as does that elusive quality
the race mark In face. And this Is
true less of the obvious physical aspect
than of its thousand secret connota-
tons. All the world knows the Haps-
burg lip, the jaw line of the Bona
parties, the subtler marks Of clanship
keep their eloquence for their own
Consciously or not, each family group
stands before these symbols as the
small company of the learned might
before some inscription on desert
ruin. Mere strokes and scrat ches to
you and me. To the few who under
stand here is the key that unlocks the
past.
So the family look. In the arch of
an eye orbit, the curve of chin, We
read the signature Of race. Chance
Imprint maybe, maybe seal of some
struggle so profound as to have set
our lips at this particular angle, or
through dimming attenuations to per-
petuate gesture born a thousand
years ago In joy or in some stark
agony of body or of soul.

CRUSHED THE CRITIC.
An Anecdots Of Verdi and Bother
some Parisien isurralst.

some PSrsten journalist,
The first production of yerdis opera
"Othello" took place at Milan, and all
the prominent musical critics of Eu-
rope foregathered In the Cathedral
City In honor of the occasion. Among
them was Partisan journalist OF wide
reputation anu admitted authority in
The musical world. His first care on
his arrival In Milan was to seek out
Verdi and ask to be allowed to be
present at one of the hnal rehearsals.
The composer received the critic with
extreme politeness, but replied that he
could not possibly grant his request,
as he had decided that the rehearsals
were to be absolutely private. and he
favor of any one journalist, however
distinguished.
The Paris critic, far from pleased at
this answer, protested that in these
his account of the opera
might not be all he should like 1t to
be. "You see," he explained to the
composer, who affected not quite to

my article the same evening, 1t will

But Verdi was more than equal to
the occasion. "My dear sir" he made
answer Il do not write for the next
day" The critic bowed himself out.

Hutch" is the most successful fox trap
per in New England. He uses formula
given him some years ago by an old In

about five years and each season his
catch is large, but the present season has
shown the best results of any years thus
far.
He is a man of 81 years, but to see
him on his trap line one would think he
was young fellow of 20 or thereabouts.
Besides being a most successful trapper,
