The deep wells which Deputy Water Commlsrioner Cozier has discovered on Long Island arc hopelessly out of the competition for the of water producers. One little iaV.e In Ireland has them whipped to a standstill, acrordlng to a story told the other evening by Dw'ght Elmendorf during his lecture on "The. Emerald Isle," under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. While collecting the data and pictures for his lecture, he reached the lake in question in company with a guide. "This lake is bottomless." remarked the guide.

"Look here," exclaimed the lecturer. "I've with simple credulity all the remarked able stories which you and others have told me about this island, but I'm going to draw the line at bottomlees lakes." "Certainly it is bottomless," the guide re" turned. "Why, I know a boy who came out here for a swim one day. He took off his clothes and dived from that rock over there and never came up again." "That's not extraordinary." retorted Elrru-n-dorf. "Such things frequently occur.

He was probably caught in the mud or entangled In the r-i roots at the bottom of the lake." "That's where you're wrong," asserted the Irishman. "Everybody here had given him up for lost, when, a few days after be disappeared, he telegraphed his family from Australia and asked them to send him on his clothes." Unsentimental people have been wont to deride the notion that the power of the- human eye Is sufficient to put to flight the beasts of the wilds. Frederick Munaen, when lecturing under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute, told the other evening of his personal optical combat with such a beast in the neighborhood of the Balton Sea He was making his way through dense vegetation when he came suddenly face to face with what he says was a terrible beast of prey. The animal, to Judge from tlv- picture, was an Americanized reproduction of the Bengal tiger, only fiercer than the menagerie specimens. The beast looked at Munsen Munsen looked at the beast.

The camera only Intervened. The lecturer had no weapon with except his glance, and with that he transfixed the animal's flashing eyes. There was a moment of ir.ten.se suspense, and then the beast wavered in bis gaze, his eyes dropped from the eyes of the lecturer to the lens of the camera; he glanced In a panicky way from right to left' and the next Instant turned tall and skulked away. State Geologist J. M.

Clarke is not much wori ried by the predictions of seismic disturbances In New York State, according to statements -which 1). made while in Brooklyn the other evening. Since the recent catastrophes, he said people have been 1 instantly on the lookout for earthquakes, until their fears are leading them into what might be called "seismitis." "Nearly every person thinks. or has at some time suspected, went on. "that he has appendicitis end I fancy when the wind shakes the windows and rattles the china in Sohenectady and the plaster falls from tho at Scotia or some one shoots blast at a sort of hypnotic suggestion abroad to arouse peow pie's While the eastern part of the state Is as solid as any portion of the earth a great earthquake occurred along the lines of the Appalachian Mountains in and an-53 other may occur at any time Manhattan and Brooklyn and otfier important cities are situated on this line of weakness.

However Mr Clarke does net look for trouble In this portion of the globe. ft The latest tale of the yellow dog romeis from th-- of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. A Fulton street elevated train, uled to leave the Manhattan end of the Bridge at 12:32 o'clock the other morning, reached the r- Brooklyn end six minutes late, and when the motorman was called upon to explain he told the story. As the train pulled out cf the hattan terminal his glance fell upon the small S3 beast standing on the ties a few feet ahead He 1 brought the air brake into play with benevolent speed. It is unlucky to run down a dog.

and always leads to the running down of a human being, with its attendant inconveniences. So tho Limotormari stopped the train and went out on the frcnt platform with a couple of conductors and made noises at the cur. The cur was not unused to such noises evidently, for he listened to them --patiently, and even came a tie or two nearer to look the men over. At last the motorman and'lis tired of their attempts to scare the dog. and started the car again.

The dog winked at him. the motorman says, and moved slowly to ii a position a few ties ahead of the train Then he turned around end beckoned with his head to 8 the motorman to follow. The motorman turned on more power and the dog trotted on again Aa the train's speed increased the dog likewise acel celerated 1r.3 motions, until toward the first arch be was only hitting about tenth tie. He passed through the Brooklyn terminal- like a streak of yellow paint, and it is the motorman's opinion that he was going so fast that he simply out. At any rate, he has not been seen Brooklyn Advertisements.
