building that silo for Mr A Ross of wo visited by promi nent admirers who woro well pleased with the struoturo and lastly Mr Isaac Usher of who is sole manu facturer of this cement says that of all silos ho has inspected within last ten years this is best ho has seen An enterprising genius has invented a trap to capture rats and bears by which was used with such success night that rats wore squealing in confinemcnlone morning The trap is feet long by in wide in which tho inventor is bold enough to assert that he can catch bears with largo enough Tho application of to trap is very simple Beside the cage which is made of wire netting set on aboard platform stands a dry electric battery of ten cells of tho power of fifteen volts One cur rent and two magnets one for each trap door are used and all the electric apparatus is on the bottom of the platform and out of sight only the wires that connect with the battery being visible Live chickens are used as bait but the rats never can get a nibble at them as they are secure in a house of their own supplied with water and food and set near the door and are seen through small iron bars Mr Rat walks into the trap through a tunnel shaped entrance and passes along a narrow wireenclosed passage way Ho approaches within a fow in ches of cl tickers in the coop which is in front and fancies ho will have a fine feed in a second when he steps upon a trap door the coop swings into a hollow place opening the passage way to the rat and upright front door drops locking him in He starts down the passageway on a tour of ex ploration but does not journey long before he stops upon a second trap door The chicken coop swings in place again shutting off the possibility of a return trip for the rat and at the same time tho front door of the cage opens to admit another hungry visitor The first rat now pushes his way out of the passageway by forcing open door which immediately closes Shut ting him out of the gangway He is now in the cage proper awaiting his doom in which the inventor has a circular dish on which a rat coming from the passageway will step and turn by electricity and at every threequar ters of a revolution a rat will drop into water and drowned beg to be excused for infringing on the Owls territory but I cannot resist We are sorry to comment on the anxiety that overshadows some young mens faces who greatly ad mired a young lady but let a young come with the halter of affection and lead her into his vivaci ous company Boys backwardness does not do in this day and age Mr Samuel of Queen St has sold his lot

those gentlemen that If do not think It for us to add to our sail area why should bo permitted to do so complained about the Keswick boat under her own canvas Whoso spinnaker did Was it their own or was It borrowed Any trio In the art of sailing knows that would scarcely enter a Balling race with a pocket handkerchief for a mainsail to against a boat carrying more sail than she could stand as was plainly Been wind having freshened before end of race Any one conversant with rules of the It knows that our sail area was considerably below the limit al lowed for boats of that size And about the ownership the sails What has that to do with the question If you win ft race on a borrowed that prohibit you from taking the prize I would also like to ask if you consider It sportsmanlike conduct for a leading crew to give dirty to boat behind Their guff however was a little premature and they were a sick looking crew when they turned the home minutes after the Keswick bout In conclusion would say

Aug a young man and a boy were out in a boat on Lake near Keswick They Observed something near them in the water which they describe as looking like a large penfc head was completely out of the water was large and black at the back the neck appeared to be a dirty white in front and heavy tint of light brown at the side The eyes were large larger than a mans but not so large as a horses eyes There was a hollow or depression between the eyes and the point of the nose and the nostrils were visible The creature looked at them and appeared to come a little towards them They were afraid and rowed from it It then put its neck above water three or four feet and set off swiftly lake It appeared to them to go straight to wards an excursion boat over at Point and as the boat went up the lake they could see the creatures head behind ship Did any of the people on the ship see it What it The boys saw something they afraid of it this much certain Could it be a loon magnified by imagination As this serpent seems to appear at intervals in different parts of the lake it would be Interesting to have its character known As there was no black bottle to cause double eight this story may bo worth
