There is n curious geographical fact
in connection with the Kootenai River.
Its course is in the shape Of u horseshoe.
1t rises in British Columbia, runs into
the United States and waters a vast re-
gion. and then circles back to the land
OF its birth and empties into the Column
bia in British territory. During its
course ii passes within half a mile of
the Columbia, and a canal of that dis
lance over grassy prairie would save
it course Of 500 miles before reaching
Its goal.

Toronto Has a Sea Serpent,


The morning was cool, and perhaps
this was the reason why some of the
workmen engaged at the targets On the
Garrison ranges say the serpent they
saw was not more than fifty feet long
and the size Of n mans body. The
story, as told by one Of them, is in sub
stance as follows: Between and 9
O'Clock, while placing the targets in po-
sition on No. range, a boy rushed up
saying that there was a queer thing
floating near the shore. Some of the
men were curious enough to leave their
work and hasten down to the shore. --
There, sure enough, was large blush
gray mass floating la2ily near the shore.
IL had every appearance of being asleep,
as It's body yielded to eyeryripple. Part
was submerged, but the upper portion
of the head iloated just above the water.
That part which was visible was covered
with short, stiff bristles in front, which
increased in length toward the sides
and extended for n distance Of about
ten feet on each side. The back, or at
least that portion Of it which appeared
above the water, was lighter colorcd
than the head A good view was had
Of the monster for upward Of three
minutes, when, suddenly raising its
head out of the water, II gave swish
with iB tail and started directly south,
in the direction of one of the steamers.
Its head rs it raised it above the water,
was very much like that Of an eel, with
the exception of the long trailing hair
or whiskcrs It's eyes were small, and
rs II dashed off one of the men said he
thought he heard it give a short, sharp
bark. A line Of foam marked its pro-
greIs ont into the lake for about half a
mile, when, turning sharp around, 1t
dashed toward the Exhibition wharf,
and again out into the lake, where they
soon lost sight of it. The men did not
appear ut all anxious to speak Of the
matter, as they feared their veracity
would be questioned. AS it is, their
story is given for what II Is worth, but
surely the word Of three men who saw
II is worth that Of thirty who did not

A Prusslan View OF the English Army

The correspondent of the Cologne
gazette ut Ramleh expresses surprise at
the GOODNESS Of the British troops.
"Ihey show he Gays, "none of the
excitement and eagerness which dis
tinguish the Continental nations when
they fight for existence, or at least for
national idea This Egyptian war,
like most wars in which England is en-
gagged, IL treated entirely as matter of
business; If the object of the under
taking had been to make railway or O.
canal 1t could hardly have been entered
upon more quietly. Deeds Of
extraordinary energy and courage. as Is
to be expected in wars carried on in
This way, are much more rare than in
the national wars of Continental Eu-
rope. 1t is true that the feeling of
national solidarity is as strong as. if
not stronger, among the English, than
among other nations, and there is no
lack of manliness in race of such
consummate physical development; but
the cause for whioh they fight does not
elicit the enthusiasm which prompts
men to do more than their duty. More
over, the English, however practical,
are deficient III foresight. 1t will
scarcely be believed in Germany that
tholo dle uOt more IMAM TWO or three
trustworthy maps of Lower Egypt in
the whole of the English camp. Even
most of the Staff officers have to use
maps which are not much better p an
those in BaeGeker's Guide Book. And
yet there would have been plenty Of
time to get few hundreds of copies of
the Arabian map of Mahmud Bey, with
the names of the places printed in
Roman characters. At the same time.
it is not to be denied that the English
army, Notwithstanding its singular and
antiquated organization according to
Continental notions, is well adapted for
a war of this kind. The admirable
physique Of the men, the wise and busi-
ness-like way in which they are led,
and the strongly developed love Of
sport whether military or otherwise,
which Is the national characteristic, are
immense advantages in q struggle with
a haif-civilized adversary. The dis
clpline of the army, toe. seems very
strict; for have not seen any drunken

Causes Of Typhoid Fever.

A severe outbreak Of typhoid fever
which occurred last year at Nahant, q
rocky peninsula near Boston, inhabited
during the summer by small number
Of very rich cottage owners, was fol-
lowed by an investigation, of which the
results are made public in an article bv
Mr.. Z. w. Bowditch, in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Jouvnoi. In such
cases contamination of drinking water
Is usually the principal cause of the
spread of the disease, and the wells and
cisterns which supply the houses were
first examined. Water was taken from
one hundred and ninety Of these and
analysed. Eight of the samples were
pronounced "excellent, and seventy
one others ''permissible," or "good."
One hundred and eleven were classed as
''suspicious," every suspicious,n or
"bad." About eighty cases of fever
occurred. nearly ali Of which could be
accounted for by the actual condition Of
the drinking-wate used in the houses
inhabited by the patients. In few
others the filthy surroundings furnished
probable source Of infection, although
the water appeared pure, as, in one in
stance, where analysis failed to detect
any serious pollution in water taken
from we'll situated within ten feet of
one teaching cesspool and fifteen feet of
another, both overhowing, and Of
course ready to furnish an occasional
supply to the we'll during dry seasons
or under other circumstances. One or
two more were probably explained by
the fact that the ice used in the house
hold was brought from foul pond in
the vicinity; and only one seemed quite
tnexplioabie, unless perhaps the infec-
ton might have been brought by milk
contained In oans which had been rinsed
In foul water. Mr.. Bow ditch's suspi-
cion, that the infection was oommuni-
GATED In certain cases by contaminated
Ice, is strengthened by the fact that q
very severe and fatal epidemic Of ty-
phoid fever was unquestfonablv caused
in this way not long ago at q seashore
hotel N New England; and it is worth
asking whether the public authority
might not be employed with advantage
In exercising some sort of surveillance
over the collection and saleo an article
which may become, and perhaps already
is, far moro dangerous than the trichi-
nous pork or immature veal against
which so many precautions are taken. In
oneplace that we know of, says the Ar1er-
Gc0', Architect, thousands of tons of ice
are annually gathered at the vorv edge
OF an extensive and well-filled cemetery,
which slopes somewhat rapidly toward
the water; and we have seen the winter
product Of little pool formed by the
overflow of what was practically the
drain of cluster of squalid houses
regularly sold to customers. .-Scicnftfc

Western Stories OutdOHe.

Newspapers ia the West and South
have OF late enjoyed q monopoly of re-
markable stories of snakes and other
desirable specimens OF natural history.
That the North may not be left behind
In this respect, let us consider the moral
teachings which are presented bv the
Summer Doarder and the Freshwater
Clam. Three years ago the boarder in
question, while straying along the bed
of stream that had been lett partially
barc by excessive drought, discovered,
Iyirg upon the sand, conchiIerous,
bivalvular enthusiastically. clam-whicn
seemed to be in the last gasp from en-
haustion and thirst. The kind hearted
stranger, plying the sore strait OF the
unhappy bivalve, at once took it up and
cast it into deep part of the stream
and then went his way, speedily forgot
ting the incident. A week ago, how
ever, as he was enjoying his vacation,
above described event took place, he
perceived clam laborously climbing
out of the water and dragging itself
over the sand. Arrived with much OK
ertion, ut the feet of the amazed OBJ
server, the clam opened its shell and
disclosed pearl as large as a hazel
nut. which the gentleman did not hcsi-
tate to appropriate. Thereupon the
clam, smiling clear way around to its
back hinge, returned to the water and
disappeared with o gurgle of sat;slac-
ton. This affecting incident, besides
showing that even the humblcst works
OF creation are capable Of noble emo
tions teaches us the fine moral that we
should always be kind to animals, in
which respect it is much to be pre-
ferred to the Southern anh Western
yarns referred to, which seom devised
simply to entertain the minds Of tho
frivolous, and convey no edifying lesson
at all. boston journal
