contributed largely TO the ease with which the
throngs OF visitors were managed. Mr. J. Stanley

his accustomed place. Mr.. Phillips, who is to sue

The Wonderful Lake,

In Colorado Is a ten-acre field, which
Is no more nor less than a su~bterranean
lake covered with soil about eighteen
inches deep. On the soil is cultivated 9
Geld of corn, which produces thirty or
forty bushels TO the acre. II any one
will take the trouble to dig n hole the
depth of a spade-handle, he will find it
10 fill with water, and by using a hook
and line, fish four or i've inches ..long
can be caught. The fish have neither
scales nor eyes, and are perch-like in
shape. The ground is n black mari in
nature, and in all probability was at one
time An open body of water. on which
accumulated vegetable matter, which
has been increased from time to time,
until now 1t has n crust sufficiently
strong and rich to produce fine corn.
though 1t has to be cultivated by hand,
Is it il not strong enough to bear the
weight Of q horse. While harvesting.
the hands catch great strings Of fish by
making q hole through the earth. A
person rising On his heel and coming
down suddenly can see the growing
corn shake all around him. Any one
having the strength to drive . rail
through the crust will find, on releasing
It, that It will disappear altogether

"What isthe extent of the beef trade
now?n
Five years ago, when the business
began, they could not sell twenty quar-
tiers a week in Liverpool. Now Liver
pool takes between 5000 and 1000 quar-
ters a week. The whole trade amounts
to from ten to twelve Thousand quarters
a week. which at 200 pounds to the
quarter would make say 100000
pounds of American beef sold each
week in Grsrt Britain, oil ia, 900
pounds a year. This trade has grown
up from nothing in the past five years,
and from present indications will grow
a great deal larger as years roll on."
Are many cattle shipped alivep"
about 5000 a week in summer.
They cannot send them in winter. The
rough weather knocks them about too
much. The trade has affected the
price of American cattle somewhat,
but not enough yet 10 do much more

THROUGH the extensive scope of the
telegraph news gatherings or the in
crease of irrepressible deviltry, the
crime record is getting to be an impos-
ing N in extent and horrible detail. 1t
calls attention now more forcibly than
ever to the demand for education,
moral and intellectual, among immense
classes of people everywhere; and shows
thereby the vast Importance Of our sys-
tenn OF education and the added impor-
lance Of increasing its field and oppor-
tunities. The majority of the crimes
recorded is among the poor and igno-
rant, out Of the reach of the restrain
ing influence Of advanced thought and
quickened reason, especially through
the south and west. A national edu.
c%ational system and a liberal general
education form the bulwarks OF the a
tion, the Influence of which is plainly
seen in tie different classes of emf.
grants who come to this country. As
a class they make good law-abiding
citizens just in proportion as their
countries afford educational privileges
to the masses.
