A Queer Famine Cons! Lake.
One of the natural curiosities in Kliki-
tat county is Lone-u Lake, which lies in a
butte or mound in the Simcoe foothills
six miles northwest of this city. The
butte looks as though the top had caved
in, as the trees are lying dead all over
the bottom and years ago were growing
where the lake now lies. This lake can
not be seen until one reaches the summit .
of the butte, as itis circular in form and
surrounded by awall or bank of earth
which is covered with trees. The bank
itself is more than 100 feet high. The
early settlers tell of cutting hay on the
ground which this body of water now
covers a good many years ago. There is
no doubt the waters are steadilyriyrirg,
trees have been covered, have fallen, and
now lie slowly decaying beneath the
water. It is fairly possible that the lake
will one day fill the entire cavity in the
butte and overflow the banks. A few
years ago the lake was stocked with
carp, and its waters are fairly alive with
them now. Last season a great .many
catfish were put into the lake. They
will thrive there and, soon exterminate
the other fish. The lake aflfords excel-
lent boating. and 'is becoming a pleasure
resort.——Gol_dendale Senti. :- .

The Role ‘Von'd Hindu.
All through the sweet, bright springtime
' I dreamed of a pei‘fect day ' ‘
That would come to the world in Summer
The rose would blush red on its spray:
The sky would be bright with sunshine
That never a. shadow knew:
The bird by its nest be singing
In the joy of ndream come true.
A day like a flawless jewel,—
Perfection’s seal and sign,—
Theretd be nothing to miss or mourn for -
In this perfect day of mine.
Days came that were full of beauty,
And all the world was gay,
But always something was lacking
To make the perfect day.
. In the sweet midsummer music
There would suddenly come a jar,
A blot on the rose's brightness,—
. Something to spoil or mar.
But I held to my faith and waited
The crowning day of the year,
Without sight or sound of sorrow,
At last I thought it here.
How the rose glowed in the sunshinel
How the birds sang in the tree!
What grandeur covered the mountainsl
What glory was on the sea!
The day was a. wonderful poem
Set to a. tune of gold.
My heart was abrim with a rapture
N 0 words have ever told! ’
But, ah! as, I breathed the fragrance
From a.rose whose time was brief,
I read earth’s old, old story
In a. sere and yellow leaf! .

I Funny Animal.
‘ There is a. curious looking animal in
South Africa that looks for all the world
like a piece of toast with four legs, a
head, and a tail. ,It resembles a pussy
cat about the forehead and ears, but its
nose is distinctly that of a rat, while its
tail is not very dissimilar to that of a
fox. This strange animal is called the

Africa because, judged by his looks, he

Tubby Vl’hlpprd an Alligator.
One of the most remarkable combats
ever witnessed inethis country. says 3
Vernon, Fla.. correspondent, occurred on
Holmes River, near this place, the other
day. In the battle a cat and an alligator
fought for three hours, with the final re-
sult in favor of the tabby.
On the day mentioned the cat ap-
proached too near the water in its eager~
ness to get a. fish and was grasped by the
hind legs by an alligater about three
feet long. The cat made a spring and
got away, but its leg was bitten - badly
and bled freely. The taste of blood
seemed to put the alligatorin a frenzy.
fer it came out on the bank and contin-
ued the pursuit. Thecat ”turned on its
enemy and then began one of the strang- .
est fights seen in a. long time; The cat
was so quick that it was impossible for
thealligator to get a bite at it, and the
result was that the saurian soon endeav-
. cred to beat a retreat to the water. But
the cat now began an offensive attack
and cut oil? the way, biting the alligator
in the throat and tender spots under the
arms until the reptile was bleeding and
almost exhausted. The fight continued,
and when at last the alligator gave up it
I was bleeding from a hundred wounds.
The cat was seemingly unhurt, except-
ing in the wounded leg, which was in
jured before the fight began—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Use for theMicrophonc.
The advantages of the microphone no
doubt will be very great, bothin and
apart from its invisible uses. It may be
used as a record of important conversa-
tions without the interposition of either
a stenographer or typewriter, for as a.
matter of course it goes far beyond the
present availability of the phonograph.
Where exact recollection of discussions
and agreements becomes necessary. it
will be indispensable. But it will inev-
itably bring woes as well as uses. Papa
can place it behind the sofa in the parlor,
and read all the sweet nothings of George
Augustus and dear Clara in the morning.
In a little time it may make talkative
people’s tongues a terror to their owners.
As a domestic spy, it can be made as ef-
ficient as it will be dangerous. Indeed,
it is not impossible that this new device
will turn the world topsy-turvy. It is
evident that a new danger confronts hu-
manity, and the only possible way to
guard against the babbling of this talk
recorder is to compel every microphone
to be licensed as a Speakeasy—Philadel-
phia Times. '
A Lock Opened by Breath.
A look constructed onthe most curious
scientific principleshas lately been ex-
hibited by an inventive genius . in Nor-
way. It consists of a bolt which fastens
the door, and is held in' position by a.
, weak spring; a pendulum is suspended
from a hook on the inside of the door,
which, when set; in ,1 motion, strikes an
iron hammer, cdnsing it "to fall on the
head of a bolt and press it-down so as to
release it from the fastening of the door,
and a hole IS bored through, thedoor op-
posite the bob’ of the ‘pendulunifi' which is‘
set in motion onthe outside by blowing
strongly through the hole. The security
of this look thus depends upon the fact
that several pads of air are necessary to
cause the pendulum to vibrate , with a
sufficient amplitude to reach the ham-
mer, and each. successive pufi must be
given at just the exact moment when
the pendulum passes the hole or open-
ing on its journey toward the hammer.—

George Vi‘nshiugton's False Teeth.
The patent office at Washington has
one curiosity which is of no little inter-
est to dentists and the manufacturers of
artificial teeth. It is a set of. ivory teeth
made for General George Washington in
1790 by a dentist of New York. named
John Greenwood. Greenwood was one
of the first dentists of New York city,
settling there about 1785, and two years
later carving the double set of teeth for
the “ Father of his Country.” He made
two sets, the last being manufactured in
1795, after the first gave out, and it is
said that the set was buried with Wash-
ington. The first set was returned to
Greenwood, and after his death was
placed in the Government museum.
Pictorial Language.
It is told of James Nasmyth, the fa-
mous engineer, that when he was travel-
ing in Sweden, where he knew not one
word of the language, ‘and where his
English was as little understood, he used
to order his dinner at the inn by draw-
ing in his sketchbook whatever he
i wanted. For example, he would draw
a table covered with a cloth, and a cooked
fowl, smoking hot, upon it, with vege-
tables, bread, cheese, salt, and anything
else a pressing appetite might suggest as
desirable.
To Make Fireproof Paper.
To accomplish this. simple feat you:
must previously dip a sheetvof paper in a
strong solution of alum-water, and when
dry repeat the process two or three times,
when, as soon as again dry, you may put-
it into the flame of a candle, and it will _
not burn. .
Of course, you must keep your friends
ignorant of the process your sheet of
paper has undergone, or it will cause no
surprise.
Influence of Hair.
A French doctor has evolved the
theory that the color and nature of the
hair have an influence on the pursuits of
man. Thus, he declares that red4whi5n
kered men have a tendency toward the
race track and the hunting field; men
with straight black hair are apt to feel
that they have a call to the ministry.
while light-haired men are natural trav-
elers and adventurers.

His Staff.
At the beginning of the Civil Ware
great many people were quite ignorant
.of the pomp and splendor of military
titles. Their ignorance led to many
amusing incidents, one of which is told
in connection with Gen. Hardee.
It was at the time that Albert Sidney
Johnston was in command at Bowling
Green, Ky., and Gen. Hardee was ordered
with his command to that place from
Columbus, Ky. . At that time the bridge
over the Tennessee River at Danville,
Tenn, had not been completed, and the
general and his command had to be fer-
rigd over the river to cars on the opposite
81 e.
When Gen. Hardee had crossed the
river—supposing, of course, that a spe-
cial car had been provided for himself
and his military staff—he accosted a
brakeman belonging to the train with
the question: 1
“Where shall I and my stafl go?” I
The brakeman, having no idea who the
general was or of what his stafi con-
sisted, after surveying him and his sword
thoroughly and somewhat contemptu-
ously, replied: .
“ You can go into that car there, and
you can stick your old staff c.-- of the
window. ’ ’—-Youth’s Companion.
Snake Venom May he Swallowed Safely.
Nature seems to have provided that no
poison which acts externally shall have
any efiect internally, and vice versa.
Thus the most deadly snake venom can
be swallowed with impunity, the juices
of the stomach presumably decomposing
it and rendering it harmless. Many ex.
periments have been made to prove this.
On one occasion recorded by Humboldt
one person swallowed the whole of the
poison that could be obtained from four
Italian vipers without suffering any bad
consequences. In the same way the
poison from the envenomed arrows of
South American Indians can be swal-
lowed with safety, provided only that
there is no wound on the lips or inside
of the mouth—Washington Post.

A Juggler-'3 Trick. -
The wonderful feats of East India jug-
glers have formed the theme of many a
letter from travelers in the Orient, but
none are more surprising than that for
which an old sea dog, now lying at the
water front, vouches. While he was an
ofiicer on board the P. and O. steam-
ships two natives came aboard at Madras,
he says. They were a. juggler and his
assistant. After they had performeda
number of minor feats and gathered
quite a crowd around them, they called
for a sack and a piece of sail cloth.
These having been provided the chief
juggler made a small tent-like structure
with the canvas and some stools. He
then placed his assistant in the sack and
allowed a sailor to tie the knot which
hound him a fast prisoner. This done,
he chief carried the sack into an open
space, warning the people to stand back
some distance, and then carried on an
animated conversation with his assistant,
whose replies could be distinctly heard
coming from the sack. Suddenly the
chief rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped it overboard, where, to the
horror of the passengers and crew, it
sank out of sight. -
Immediately the captain rushed for-
ward and seized the man, under the full
belief that he had murdered his com-
panion, but the juggler only smiled, and,
pointing to the canvas, asked that it be
raised. This was done and the supposi-I
drowned man was discovered squatting
on the deck. So realistic had been the
throwing overboard, however, that it
was some time before the surprised pas-
sengers could realize a murder had not
been committed—N. Y. Sun.

“ The prairies of the West are great
places for wind,” the other day remarked
Charley Searlcs, of the Northern Pacific,
to a Missourian reporter.
“ I used to have a station out in Ne-
braska, right out in the open prairie, and
the way the wind blew was a caution.
But it was a lucky wind for me. At a.
station about thirteen miles west my girl
lived, and as I had no Sunday trains or
business of any kind, I would go up there
and stay over Sunday. -
“ But a livery horse from Saturday
night to Monday morning cost me too
much m- aney, so I rigged up a sail on an
old tit-I; .r. All I had to do on Saturday
ni'rlit was to hoist my sail, push the tie-
car on the main track, and in less than

1-201: .‘tm a year I went to see my girl
every Saturday night by means of that
sail car. Pretty sleek, wasn’t it?"
" Yes, pretty sleek. But do you mean
' to say that the wind blew in the same
direction every Saturday night during all
that time?”
“ Of course I don't I”
" W 011, how did you manage on those
nights when it blew in the other direc-

The First. lelng Skeleton.
The first living skeleton was Claude
Sewrat, born in France, in 1799. He
was tall. and would have been well
shaped had there been any flesh on his
body; as it was, every bone could be
distinctly seen. His arms were com-
pared to two ivory flutes, and his abdo-
men seemed to cling to his vertebra).
He made a fortune exhibiting himself,
retired to his native village, and died
suddenly at the age of thirty-seven.
