A Mistaken Idea.

As soon as boy leaves school and looks
about to see what he shall do next he Is
very likely to be told by some unwise per-
son, 'The world owes you living" This
probably strikes him as being o very wise
remark, and the boy says TO himself, III
il Is true that the world owes me living.
I'm all right" he finds place, and goes
to work manfully; but after time he con-
cludes that there is no fun in 1t, and he
stops to consider: "If the world owes me
a living, why should I trouble myselff
Let the world pay its debt to me-" Sud-
denly he loses his place and has nothing
10 do. He is surprised, and wonders why
the world does not give him his due. "a
nice bed, warm clothes, and regular din
ners are good things, and ought to have
them. The world owes them to me, and if
do not get them I've been cheated out Of
my rights"
At one time this country was wilder
ness, where no man could live, save by
fighting the wild beasts. Some one chas-
ed away the bears and wolves, cut down
the forests, laid out roads, built towns, and
dug canals. Somebody spent vast sums
of money in constructing railroads, steam
boats, docks, lighthouses, schools, hbrai
ries, and all the fine things you enjoy SO
freely. More than this, somebody pays
the policeman, the fireman, the soldier,
sailor, the lighthouse keeper and school.

be constantly arising.

WHAT is A MIRAGE.
american Agclculturist !


Recently the papers have given notices
of wonderful mirages that have been seen
upon tina coasts of Europe, and it is not
strange that some of my young friends
should ask about them. The name mi.
rage is French one, meaning "to loom
up" 1t should be pronounced "mee.
razh', as near as the pronunciation can
be written. In some countries a mirage
is very rare, in others it is almost of daily
occurrence. Before l try to tell you
what causes a mirage, must first de.
scribe how they look. Sometimes places
very far distant appear to be close at
hand and seen in the air. In travelling
across the continent have seen many a
mirage In the distance would appear
beautiful sheet Of water, with hsadlands,
islands, and sometimes fort could be
plainly seen, and even ships. As to
water, the illusion was SO perfect that it
was difficult to believe that it was not
real. In the early days of travel to Cal,
ifornia by trains of wagons overland,
many of the parties suffered greatly, and
some were entirely lost, by pushing out
for what seemed to be water. Sad, in
deed, are the stories told of this mistake.
This is not easy to explain unless you
know something about light. Most of
you have noticed that when you place an
car or pole in the clear water OF pond
or river it seems to be bent. If you
look across hot stove the objects on the
other side appear to be curiously dis
torted and out of place. Rays of light
passing from denser medium to alighter
one are bent on straight course. Thus,
when they pass from an oar or pole in
the water, they are bent and the object
appears to be crooked. When they pass
from common air through much lighter
heated air, the objects seem to be bent
out of their shape. Now all the mirages
I have seen have been where the soil be.
came very hot from the sun; this hot
soil heated the air just above it. There
was layer of hot air close to the earth,
and just above the earth the air was not
heated. Objects seen at distance
through these two kinds of air are sin.
gularly distorted, and, like things seen
across the hot air of a stove, much out
of shape. In this state of the air a bar
ren, sandy tract looks like water, and
clumps of bushes are distorted to look
like trees. Wherever a mirage has been
examined the appearance has been found
to be caused by difference in the den.
sity OF the air, whether from contact
with heated earth, or seen at sea with
heated water. Mirage is very inter.
esting phenomenon to see once or twice,
but when it occurs day after day, one
soon tires OF its unnatural appearance
and pre{srs to look upon landscape that

The people Of Nevada move along from
year to year almost unconscious of the
wonderful changes that are taking place
in their midst. But few brief years
have passed, says the Reno Journal, since
Nevada was regarded valuable only as a
mineral district, and the man who dared
claim any agricultural advantages for the
State would have been voted crank.
But behold the change. To-day the ag-
ricultural wealth of the State is far
ahead of the mines.
Within the last few years it has been
made apparent that every inch of the
sagebrush plains of Nevada can be made
productive by the application of water,
and although artificial irrigation is some
what expensive, the farmer is repaid for
this outlay in the assurance OF an average
crop at all times; whereas, in those coun.
tries where the farmer depends upon ma.
ture to do the irrigating, he sometimes
has too much and sometimes not enough
water, and as result his crops are often
partial and frequently total failures.
Nearly every tract Of land in the State
where water is available without great
expense has already been located or up
piled for, and artesian wells and othel
means are being employed to suppl.
water to land that few years ago wa
thought to be impossible, and in yer,
few years hence all over Nevada deserts
will be found Nevada families enjoyin.

Captain Hague, OF the Alaska Com

returned from the Arctic. reports an ex-
traordinary phenomena. When approach
ing Ounalaska he observed an island he
had not observed on his previous trips,
and which was not on the chart. Steam.
ing closer he discovered the fact that the
island was of recent formation, and of
volcanic character, smoke and flames be-
ing plainly visible. The shower of ashes
was SO great that they swept them up
from the deck. Some of them he put in
bottle and brought down with him.
This new volcano is close to the Bogaslor
Island, off Ounalaska, latitude SO, longi-
tude l67. Captain Anderson, of the
whaler Matthew Gunner, confirms the
fact, he also having observed it on his
way down.
