The men swim across with their horses and on them. .They swim in swimming costume and i in all the accoutrements of war.

Some of the officers have even reached, that ? degree of proficiency that not only their horses and kits cross the rivers ' with them, but their very pet dogs sit upon their shoulders and are borne over also.

ALASKA’S MAGIC LAKE. .- Th? “infer is Wiilm in Winter and Cold in Summer—A Mecca for Fish. The richly laden places of the)»: inn- ‘dyke are by 'no means the only-things. marvellous about Alaska. There is a lake up there, not very far from Dawson City, which has been christened Lake Selawik by its dis- coverer, Father Tossi, a missionary among the native Alaskan, which be- sides being interesting vto the wonder lovers who are staying at home, will unquestionably prove a. wonderful blessing during the coming'Winter to the thousands of gold-seeking Ameri- cans who have never passed an eight- months Winter amidst real. ice and snOw. ' It is generally supposed that every- thing within the Arctic circle freezes up seven or eight months in the year. that the rivers and lakes are com- pletely frozen over, and that the fishes But none This ,lake is sixty miles long and about fifteen miles in width. It-has no evident communication with the ocean, yet when the ocean is at its high tide on the shores of Alaska, up goes the water of Lake Selawik, and when the tide of the ocean‘goes out, down comes the height of the waters of the lake. Notwithstanding this sympathy with ocean waters, the water of Lake Sela- wik is fresh at' all times, and it tastes like the sparkling spring water on the farm. But the most remarkable reature of this lake is the fact that it never freezes over in the coldest weather, and the colder the'atmosphere in' its neighbor-hood becomes, the warmer its waters seem to become. For this reason, Lake Selawik be- comes a kind of Mecca in Winter time for all kinds of fishes and water ani- mals which are found in the various rivers that pour into the lake during summei. The waters of the lake swaim with fish, and the improvident gcld seeker from the United States, who has failed to strike that "pile” be anticipated, and who, owing to the fabulous prices of eatables in Alaska in Winter, would otherwise starve to .ieath, has only' to borrow a sled and a couple of dogs and goover vto Sela- wil', where, in a couple of hours, he can kill with a boat hook more sal- mon than he can cut in a fortnight, for after the capture of the fish the excessively cold climate keeps them frozen until they are ready to be eaten. Lake Selawik will also relieve the miners from the disagreeable necess- ity, which they'contemplate at present, of spending the whole Winter without taking a bath . The water in Winter is of just the right temperature to make bathing both wholesome and agreeable. —New York Journal. 7F. -———w———§-n. _ What Discharge Killed Him The Couit—As I understand it, the deceased policeman was killed in the discharge of his duty.
