customary for come of the Jesuit Fathers
to meet at Cologne a group of the lads
who were going on to study at Feldkirck,
children of the first families in Rhineland
and Westphalia. This year, az usual,
Two Jesuits met the boys at the railway
station at Cologne. Just as they were
-aboat entering the train they were arrested
by the police, and the boys had to make
their joaruey alone. OF course the Fathers
will have to be released, since as yet there
is no law forbiddng the Jesuits to travel
through Germany, so that tie proceeding
can have been done only for the sake OF
annoyance.

not been able TO leave her bed, was looking
about cheerfally and calmly from the litter

A RrcallninR Cave.

In range of mountains in Western
North Carolina known as the "FoX
Range Il most singular phenomenon
exists. II is 'brcathing cave" In the
Summer months current OF air comes
from 1t so strongly that a person can't
walk against 1t, while In Winter the sue
ton Is Just Us great. The cool air from
the mountain IN Summer Is felt for miles
in direct line from the cave. At times
most unpleasant Odor is emit
ted upon the current from
dead carcasses of animals sucked In
and killed by the violence. The loss Of
cattle and stock in that section in Winter
Is accounted for in this way. They range
too near the mouth Of the cave, and the
current carries them In. At times when
the change from inhalation begins the
air Is filed with various hairs of animals
not unfrequently bones and whole carcass
ses are found miles from
the place. The air has been
known to change materially
in temperature during exhalation from
| quiet cool to unpleasantly hot, whitening
vegetation within reach, and accompanied
by terrible roaring, gurgling sound, a.
a pot boiling. II Is inaccolnted for b,
scientific men who have examined II
though no exploration can take place

ton may break forth there some time
Such things have occurred in places a

that OF "'rhe water we drink and its re-

paper upon this subject in which he recon-
mended the general Use of filters to purify

THE RALI. OF MAJOR MUM.

Major Mum, Supervisor Of the States
Of Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, is in
distress. The exposure Of the corruption
OF the whisky ring has resulted In his
downfall. He will be compelled to retire
from his office, and going into private
lite will not, We predict, be able to rise"
again. On the 18th inst. he had an inter-
view with the President and Secretary
Bristow, and was informed that although
no charges were pending against him his
resignation would be accepted-that the
Department would not keep in position
an officer in whose district frauds had
been successfully carried on for any con-
siderable length Of time. The Presidents
bearing towards the Major was cold, and
he told him bluntly that he would not
interfere In the case. Senator Logan
also refused to become the Majors cham
pion, and did, in fact, snub himby giving
out that he was an applaudsr OF the ac-
ton of the President and Secretary OF the
