great deal of sediment which colors them a yellow- white and so accounts for the name of the stream This sediment is deposited in the lake and forms a bar which obstructs the navigation of the river and has forced it to find an alternate channel for the last two or three miles of its course Thru this the river sometimes discharges itself into the lake and sometimes the waters of the lake run backward thru sny into the old channel and down the original course This pheno menon depends on the rise or fall of the level of the Ottawa River which also empties into the heart of the lake a short- distance away The which finds its way into Lake a little east of the latter stream shorter and narrower but just about as deep and quite as dirty The Liskeard Settlement want is being supplied with

Von Zeppelin gave his airship another trial yesterday ami achieved a notable success After rising the airship re mained poised at a of met res for of an hour It then made a series of tacks and per formed sundry turning manoeuvres after which it was steered against the wind It finally headed where the inventor landed after a trip that lasted about an hour The King and Queen of the trial from the deck ot a The airship carried four persons be sides Count Zeppelin it rose the wind was from the northeast blowing with a velocuty of three and onehalf yards a second When the airship had attained a height of 100 yards it described a circle and then drove with the wind in a generally cir cular direction for about six miles It then again described a circle after which it made headway a trains the Wind which was then blowing with increased iiie air- ship descended with great and steadiness into the lake and was low ed to a shed The experiment was most successful lis stability equili brium and steering- powers were ex cellent It is generally agreed that considerable progress has been made since the first The first ascent was made in July and a slight derangement in the steer ing apparatus caused a sudden descent into the lake The airship is metres in length being by far the largest ever cons l rutted It is- cigar- shaped contains iu an aluminum netting seventeen separate balloons- The cigarshaped has a diam eter of metres a volume of cubic metres is estimated to tin capacity to raise and sup port in the air kilograms The weighs approximately kilograms Under the cigarshaped are supported two gondolas each placed twentylive metres from their respective of the cyclinder contains a Daim ler motor which work the propellers The forward screw has four wings the rear only three the steering ap paratus is also contained in the gon dolas The screws arc capable of revolutions to the minute and gave an estimated forward propulsion of fit metres Count Zeppelin estimate that the balloon rise to metres and when weighted with kilograms can lie kept up in the air for eight days Beets at Kalamazoo The Kalamazoo Beet Sugar factory started its second season on Tuesday October nth and the first sugar for year was turned out Thursday as white and sweet as any sugar ever put on the market During the months of inactivity the big plant has been kepi in the best of order and it is expected that this jear will I no break downs and that the season will be a successful one from every point of view Within a short time or when factory Is running at its greatest ca pacity the full working force of 250 men will be employed in it Beets are coming in dairy at the ale of Vk or CO carloads and this number will be considerably increased within a short time when all of the farmers nave their crop ready for the factory Ad ditional sheds have been erected this year and the room for beets greatly enlarged so that farmers will not be obliged to hold beets in pits as was the case last year The quality of the beets Is fine The officers of the company lonk with great satisfaction upon the tests which have been made so far and farmers who raise a crop of sweet tubers are pleased with sue and quality It is said Die weather has been ideal for beets A great part of the summer and fall and the warm sunshine of September ad ded sweetness daily to every plant that It shown upon Everything points to a very success ful season for grower manufacturer and merchant and it is expected that this seasons Michigan which go through the Kalamazoo will be a source of profit and a
