The announcement of the formation
of ice during the hottest days of last
summer in the caves near ZchinYal, in
the Caucasus, attracted many travellers.
Il is reported that these caves are
filled with ice only during the hottest
weather, and that the newly formed ice
disappears with the fall of the Their
mometer. This curious phenomenon
greatly puzzles the Caucasians.

but in which the policeman figured less
creditably than the one just referred to,
took place in the Isle of Man. At a

Jews are always sworn on the Old Tes-

requested the constable in attendance to
fetch an Old one. After while that

witness an ancient-looking dilapidated
book, which, on being examined, proved
to be New Testament. The Deems

Handsome Homes in New York .

Never were such magnificent and
costly structures in course of erection
at New York. The taste OF New York's
rich men in the manner of house dec

more luxurious every year. Some are
not satisfied with American work or
American material, but must Lave both
from abroad. They actually insist upon
having men brought over from Europe
TO carve the stone traceries and figures
on their house fronts. A mag
nificent building Mt the corner Of Fifth
avenue and Sixty. ninth street Is making
very slow progress on this account.
Every figure must be cut by imported
workmen, and as 1t takes time TO get
men from the other side, and they don't
always suit when they come, there is,
Of course, much delay with the work.
It IL the same case with the costly new
Vanderbilt buildings. The ornamental
work must wait till "artists" from

and life OF no one are safe from them.

authority and backed by his posse, gets

cannot stay there watching them and
neglecting their own business. As soon
