A Wonderful Lake.

The Bod,e Free Press publishes the
following description of Mono lake, a
remarkable body of water: Notwith-
standing the steady influx of five
large fresh water creeks and innumer-
able small streams, its bitter but pei
lucid waters continue to give a sedi-
mentary analysis of 40 parts soda, 40
parts salt and 10 parts borax and lime;
that the lake is 29xl9 miles in
diameter and more than 200 feet deep
in places; that it contains two large and
several small tufa islands, the first in
magnitude having an area of 220O
acres and the second 1900 acres; that
upon the second island is the crater of
a volcano that was in active eruption
as late as 1858; that upon the larger
island and out 100 feet from it, in 70
feet depth of water, are boiling springs
of asphalt, and that no living thing
exists i'll the waters of the lake except
the Piute shrimp, a pint-eyed worm
which attains length of about three
fourths of an inch. The valley =
commonly called desert surround
ing the lake is about 30x50 miles in
diameter, and has at some not remote
period Of the past been wholly sub
merged by mineral waters similar to
those which now occupy the deeper
portion of the basin, rs the water
mark along the western wall is nearly
1000 feet above the present surface of

BILE arose between Gilmore and the
Detroit fish house, and they went t.
law, Gilmore winning the suit, go
damages, and all at a cost for the at
toncy's services of $50. CO. .
Gilmore grew detected. Life looked
gloomy. Letters poured i'll ON every
one of his family at regular intervals
from all parts of the world, bearing
the unpleasant information that 1t
was "a laundering price for beans
At last Gilmore sold the Marshall
eating house and moved to Chicago.
He carried his deep aftliction along
with him, gnawing like cancer at
his vitals. The persecution never
ceased Gilmore dropped, faded, and
finally died. The terribly afflicted
family followed him to his last resting
place, and the widow, with what little
money she had saved from the cX-
penscs of bogus kilograms and express
packages, erected a PLAIN marble slab
to the memory of the tortured Gil
more.
The following Sabbath the mourning
family went out into the cemetery to
plant some violcts on Gilmore's grave
Arriving on the ground, they observed
III silent horror that another legend
appeared above the name of Gilmore,
on the tombstone. 1t was chalkcd
on small blackboard and read: ~

High Price for Beans,

Tom Watrons, commercial traveller,
stopped off at the Marshall, Mich. /,
eating house several years ago.
He was not very hungry, and called
for plate of beans, which he received.
He inquired the price, and was in
formed that it was seventy five cents
That's laundering price for
BEANS said Tom.
That's the price, said the pro
prictor.
The train was just starting; Tom
paid the bill and the coaches carried
him and his Indignation on toward
Detroit.
This was ON Saturday. On Mon
day, Gilmore, the eating house man
received telegram collect on deliv-
cry, 81 20, which he paid, and read on
opening it, "a laundering price for
beans"
Thirty days from that date neat
express package was handed in to Mr..
Gilmore, c. o. d., who paid ninety
cents for the privilege of opening it to
discover lot of sawdust, on the top

Two months from this Gilmore was
summoned to Chicago ts meet a
former business partner, and the hotel
clerk handed him letter conveying
the pleasant information; "A thun-
dering price for beans" Cost of these
articles, So. 80. A genuine telegram
from Gilmores mining share broker
advising him to sell was refused, and
the loss of it entailed an actual dam
