The concession will be contracted
into a lake occupying an oblong site
200x300 feet in area, and twelve
feet at Its greatest depth. The lake
will be lined with concrete; the top
of the retaining wall being level
with an encircling promenade.
Though the lake will actually be
only ten fee^ In depth, yet by the
I manipulation of registering dials
which record ten feet for every one

the use of mechanical screens which
are caused to move upward as the
boat is going down, the passenger
will actually feel that he Is diving
some three hundred feet.
Oytters ?? Food.
Oysters come nearer in composition
to cow's milk than do most other
meats, as all the four kinds of nu
trients needed are present in good de
gree. Oysters have a larger excess of
the flesh building sulwtaiK-e relative
to the other constituents than milk, so
we "balance the ration" b.v addition of
starchy food and fats when eating
oysters, thus securing h good meal at
a cost that comiwres favorably *vith
that when other meats are chosen.?

A rather peculiar case of absentmlnd
edness was that related of Peter Bur
rowes, an Irish lawyer. A friend who
called on Burrowes at an early hour
one morning found him shaving with
his face hold close to an empty wall
"What on earth are you assuming that
attitude for?" he usked.
"To look In the glass," was the re
ply.
"But there's no glass there," laughed
the acquaintance.
"Bless you! 1 didn't notice that be
fore," said Burrowes, and then, calling
his servant, he asked him what had be
come of the mirror.
"Why, sir," said the man, "It was
broken sis weeks ago."

Bees Faster Than Pigeon*.
It Is not generally known tliut bees
are swifter In flight than pigeons? that
Is, for short distances. Some years ago
a pigeon fancier of Ham me. Westpha

erated three miles from their hives
would reach home lu less time than a
dozen pigeons. The competitors were
given wing at Rybern, a village nearly
a league from llamme. and the first
bee reached the hive a quarter of a
minute In advance of the first pigeon.
Three other bees reached the goal be
for the second pigon. The bees were
also slightly handicapped, having teen

SCARES IN LONDON
When Cranks Predicted the De
struction of the City.
TERROR RULED THE PEOPLE.
Bell, a Lunatic, Had th? Entire Popu
lation In a Frenry of Faar Awaiting
the End by Earthquake In 1761? TRa
River Thames Panic of 1524.
Men. It butt been well said, think Id
herds. It will be seen tbat they go
mad in herd*. for Inoumernble In
stances can be given of a wbole people
suddenly shaking off tbe trammel* it
reason and runnlDg wild onder tbe de
lusion of some Impending calamity.
A panic terror of tbe end of tbe
world spread over London in 1736 by
tbe prophesy of tbe famous Wblston,
who predicted that the world wonld
be destroyed on Oct 13 In tbat year.
Crowds of people went out on tbe ap
pointed day to Islington, Hlgbgate,
Hempstead and tbe Intervening fields
to witness tbe dentrnctlon of LonCon,
which was to be the "beginning of tbe
end.''
Again In tbe year 1761 tbe citlretyi of
London were plunged into excitement
by two earthquake shocks, and tbe
prophecy of a third, which wa? to de
stroy them altogether. Tbe first of
these shocks was on Feb. 8 and threw
down several chimneys; tbe second
was on March a Public notice was
directed to tbe fact that there was ex
actly a month's Interval between the
two shocks, and a crack brained fel
low named Bell was so Impressed with
tbe Idea tbat then* would be a third In
the forthcoming month tbat be com
pletely lost bis senses and ran about
tbe streets predicting the destruction
of London on April 5.
As tbe awful <lar approached tee ex
citement been me Id tense, and great
numbers of credulous people resorted
to all tbe village* within a circuit of
twenty miles, there to await tbe doom
of London. Bluckbeath. Islington,
?Ighgate, Hampstead and Harrow
were crowded with panic stricken
fugitives wbo paid exorbitant prices
for accommodations in these secure re
treats. Sucb as could not afford to pay
for lodgings at these places encamped
In tbe surrounding fields.
As is usual In (mules, the four be
came contagious. Mild hundreds who
bud laughed at the prediction a week
before packed lip tbeir goods and chat
tels wben they ?mw others doing so
and hastened away. Tbe river was
thought to be a place of great security,
and accordingly all the available mer
chant vessels and barges were packed
with people, who passed the night be
tween the 4tb acd 5th on board, ex
pecting ever.v moment to see St i'aul's
totter and tbe towers of Westminster
abbey rock and fall amid a cloud of
dust But on tbe following day tbe
greater part of tbe fugitives returned,
convinced that tbe prophecy was a
false one. A few months afterward
Bell was confined in a lunatic asylum,
where he died.
Great consternation was caused in
London In 1524 by a prediction that on
the 1st day of February the waters of
the Thames would overflow the whole
city of Loudou and wash away 10.000
houses. Tbe prophecy was implicitly
believed, and many families packed op
their goods and removed into Kent and
Essex. As tbe time drew near the
numbers of these emigrants increased.
In January droves of workmen might
be seen, followed by their wlvea and
children, trudging on foot to the vil
lages within fifteen or twenty miles to
nwalt the catastrophe. People of a
higher class were also to be seen in
vehicles bound on a similar errand.
By tbe middle of January at least
'.>0.000 persons bad quitted the doomed
city, leaving nothing but the bare walls
of their homes to be swept away by
the Impending floods. Many of the
wealthier class trok up tbeir abode on
the heights of Hampstead, Hlghgate
and Blackheath, aud some erected tents
as far away as Wnltham abbty on the
north and Croydon on the south of the
I Utl Illl-S.
Ou tbe fateful morning tbe wonder
ing crowds were astir at an early boar
to watcb the rising of tbe wntera. It
was predicted Ibnt tbe Inundation
would be gradual, not sudden, so tbat
tboy expected to have plenty of time
to escape as soon As tbey saw the wa
ters rise beyond the usual mark.
Tbe day grew elder, and tbe Thames
flowed on quietly as of yore. The tide
ebbed at its nsuul hour, flowed to Its
usual height and then ebbed again. Just
as if tweuty astrologers bad not pledg
ed their word to tbe contrary.
Blank were their facet as evening
approached, and as blank grew the
faces of the citizens to think that tbey
had made such fools of themselves.
Night set in, nni tbe obstinate river
would not lift Its waters to sweep
away even one home out of tbe 10,
000. Still, however, tbe people were
ufraid to go to sleep. Many hun
dreds regained np till dawn of tbe
next day, lent the deluge shonld come
upon them like a thief in tbe night
Ou the morrow it was seriously dis
cussed whether It would not be advis
able to duck tbe false prophets In the
river. I.ncklly for tbem tbey thought
of an expedient: which allayed the
popular fury. Tbey asserted tbat by
an error they had flxed tbe date of
this awful Inunlation a century too
early. The present generation of
cockneys were stife and London would
be washed away, not In 1624, but In
! 1G24.-?London Family Herald.

Never negloct your kidneys.
If yon hav# pain In the back,
urinary disorders, ditilnesa and
nervousness, It's time to act and
no time to experiment. These are
frequently symptoms of kidney
trouble, and a remedy which I*
recommended for the kidneys should
be taken In time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a good
remedy to use. It has acted effect
ively in many cases in this vicinity.
Can Alaskan residents demand
further proof than the following tes
timonial?
E. O. Beaumont. 635 O 3t ,
Eureka, Cal., says: "For a long
time I bad a bad case of kidney and
bladder trouble. The kidney accret
ions were too frequent In passage
and I suffered a great deal from
backache that was especially severe
at night. I applied plaster* to my
back and used other remedies, but
without receiving any noticeable
benefit. Happening to see an ar
ticle In the papers about Down's
Kidney Pll's, I procured the rem
edy. I began using It and In a
short time my kidneys were restor
od to a normal condition. I have
used five boxes of Doan's Kidney
Tills and can say that I am cured. J
As I did uot take any other remedy j
at the same time, I give tho full
credit for my cure to Doan's Kidnej
Pills."
