These two towns are opposite each other on the river, which is 600 feet wide at this point. The falls there afford possibi- lities of anextensive water power and the development of it bas been in coutemplation for some time. The Canadian authorities bave pro- posed raise of the river ky the con- struction of a dam, and tora time it! looked as if this ubjection would make it impossible for the promoters of the water power to reach an agreement, but 1t has been satisfactorily adjusted MeGuire & company have the con- tract fur the timber work on the dam and a force of 250 men will be at work inafew days. The machinery that will be required will come up the | lakes from Buffalo the eoming season | and be shioped by rail to Fort Francis. | Ibis said that the water power can be made available in a year. ‘The development of the er pow= er at the falls of the Rainy river will, it is expected, be of prime importance to the new town of Kovchiching. It is planned to build exteusive pulp Imills and at least one large sawmill jthere. The Brooks, Bac Lumber company, of Minneapolis, is interest- ev ip the development of the water power. The Fireman’s Hazardous Life. The accident that. occurred at the fire in the Zemth Paper company’s ! warehouse, whereby two firemen were jseverely injured, again calls forcible attention tu the fact that the calling of a flre..en is one of severe hazard and danger, too httle appreciated by the public as ay general rule. of the men who fell when the’ ladder collapsed lost his life. No doubt the | ladder descended in such a way as'to | partially break their fall, else they would have been fatally injured or in- |stantly killed. » | ‘Two other members of the depart- ; ment, in theiretforis to get at the blaze | fortunately neither was striously injur- ed. Itisa matter of general satisiac- tion that all were so lucky as to escape death or irreparable injury. ‘This incident should serve as warn- ing to officials responsible tor equipp- ing the department that all tools and appliances shall be of — sufficient strength to meet the severe tests to ywhich they are subjected. The risk {to human hfe is too great to run any chances with flimsy ladders or other apphances. It should also bring about a resolve on the part of the cit- zens to deal liberally with these men in a financial way. There is no more hazardous employment nor one requir- iag greater moral courage and the re- compense should be commensprate. —Duluth Herald. BYE Dr. C. J.

Miquez and Mouchet have de vised a new filter for impure or sus- pected waters from lakes, rivers and springs. The water is directed over a layer of fine sand, a meter thick, with gravel underneath. The solid particles and bacteria in the water are filtered out by the upper layers of the fine sand, and the water escapes freely from the gravel underneath. The authors consider it well suited for the supply of pure alimentary water —London Globe. More Stoical Than Red tndians. No red Indians were ever more cal- lous to pain that the aborigines of in their tribal fights, which still occur frequently, the severest wounds are treated with indifference. Old Australian settlers are fond of telling a famous story of a tribal chief who walked sixty miles with.a spear sticking clear through his bady before he could get help to pull it out. They insist that the story is true. Alcohoi in Ancient Times. Considering the possible influence ef alcohol upon human evolution, Dr. Harry Campbell assumes that such civilizations as those of Babylon and Egypt may date back 30,000 years and It is almost miraculous that neither | that agriculture by migratory tribes may extend back 30,000 years more, but concludes that the use of alcohol as a beverage has not’ been known more than 10,0C0 years. He finds no reason to believe that, as was sug- | gested some years ago, the discovery of fermented liquor gave the first civ- ilizing quiekening to the brain of the ape-man.
