 Carniola, in the western part of Austria and fronting on the Adriatie Sea. IS re- zion remarkable chiefly for it's subterran- can streams and immense cayerns and abysses. It is very mountainous. being traserscd by spurs of the Alps. and covers an area of 3.857 square miles. Its inhab- itants are hardy. thrifty race. engaged in the cultivation of wine. timber, maizc and mlIlct.
 Of all the wonders of nature to be met with Tn this country. the one mos; deserv- ing of notice IS the lake of Ilrkniu. This lake takes its name from small market town. with population of I.5oo. and sit uated about thirty miles northeast of Trieste. the principal seaport city of Aus trla.
 Lake ZiIkniu fies in q deep valley sur rounded by beautiful hllls l. Is fair sheet of water siN miles long and three miles broad. and tecming with fishes and waterfowl. Inc inonotony of this large expanse ef water is relieved by five small islands. on ane nf which is the village of O;tok. These islands are f4yoriic resorts fnrpItnie pau.es. fhc cb5,tom af the lake is formed of limestone rock. and is full of c!ctts and Assures. Duuns prolonged dry weather the waters pa,s into these eas- ems. eaHln- t9.ir iinny inhabnani, with them.

 Unu l comparatively reccn, time the causes of the periodical disappearance of ,hc lake were involved in mystery. and people were content to accept as | f.te, that which they could not explain In later ycaIs. however. scientific men have devoted many years of their lives to the task of exploring these underground re- ces,es. and mith the happiest results.
 Although the subterrancan geography of this region ha, been. to the present. only sketehcd oui. still enough has been discovered to satisfy them that many of the underground passages extend to long distances. and II has been eonclnsvcly proven that the waters ef the Zirkniu ..ke al the perlnds ot their recession flow through underground channels into the nvcr t'nz which further on loins the riycr Save. tributary et the Danube

 There are many dangerous counterfeit sio United States Treasury notes atioat m this clty and the surrounding towns. and that our readers may be possessed oi the necessary knowledge te detect them. the following Is presented fore their con sideration: By an examination of the back of the genuine note Il will be seen that on the righ,-hand side there is an open. oblong space. untouched by ink. In this space the fbres which are con- tained Tn hcpapeF are plainly visible. and are part of II. By close inspection of the counterfeit, l, will be found that these thrc lines are limitations in black ink. but 50 neatly Is the work done tha; d merely casual observation will deceive an expert On the face of the genuine note, m the upper rignt-hand corner. the spaces are equal between the letters that form the border. while the spurious bill gives them in a van ing form. With these exceptions the bogus note will pass muster with tn- cle sam promise to pay the bearer.

THE OLD MILL.

Here from the brow Of the hill look. Through a lattice of boughs and leaves, On the old gray mill with is gambrei roof, And the moss on iss fotting caves. l hear the chatter that jars its walls. And the rushing waters sound. And see the black floats rise and fail As the wheel goes slowly round. ! roce there often when was young, With my grist on the horse before. And talked .ith Nellie. ihe miller's girl, AS waited my turn at the door. And while she tossed her ringlcts brown. And iirtcd and cha,ied sa free, The wheel might stop or the N heel might go IL was all the same to me. 'Tis twenty years since last stood On the spot ahete l stand To day. And Nellie is we'd and the miller is dead. And the miller and are gray. And both. Hli wc fall into rum and wreck, To our fortune uf ioil are bound And the man gee, and the stream flows, And the wheel moves slowly round.
