Tho Fall of Theebaw.

The great capital, with its palace
citadel half a mile square covered with
cilded roofs, its pagodas and its public
buildings, lay as if asleep. The gates
were thrown open anu there was a
population of a hundred thousand
quietly at gaze while the white men,
with music playing, went forward to
arrest their King. The palace was Oc-
cupied, the city guarded and on the fol-
lowing day the General was accorded
an audience" and entered the palace by
the staircase reserved exclusively to
ROYALTY. He found the King, "a stout
young man, undersized but dignifed,"
and his Queen, a woman with clever
face and an evil mouth" almost alone,
body guards and councillors having
fed, and signifed to him his deposition.
The King spoke little, except when
promptedby his wife, but seemed chiefly
anxious about his own life, and when
informed that he must visit Calcutta..as-
sented. Accordingly, in the afternoon,
he and his Queen and a number of wO-
men seated themSelveSin carts drawn by
oxen and SO were dragged to the wharf
under the gaze of that huge pOpulace,
which neither wept nor cheered nor
cared. As soon as they were on board
the steamer started for Rangoon. where
the last Emperor Of Delhi died on a
mat in a cottage, state prisoner; and
SO departed from history the House Of
Alompra, which only sixty-two years
since reigned over Burmah. Assam,
Pegu, Arakan and Tenasserim, de-
manded tribute of Siam and promised
to become dominant throughout Indo-
China.

CURIOUS FEATURES OF ACTUAL
LIFE
Che Goose Bone and the Weather IL
Predicts.

The Goose Bone may be called ken
tucky's weather prophet" In many
farm houses it will be fonnd hanging IN
the hall, and old men who have 1t for
years says that the genuine bone never
fails. The real bone can only be OBJ
tanned from goose that was Matched
out iu the spring; the month of May
is said to be the best. The goose must
not be killed until Indian SUMMER has
passed away. After cooking, remove
the breast bone, scrape 1t clean, and
tnen wash it in warm water and let 1t
dry for day or two, When it has
been thus prepared, bold it up to the
sun, or in front of lamp in a dark
room is better, and the dlscolorations
can be easily deciphered, and to one
who knows the bone the reading is as
plain as a book. A bone shown to a
reporter recently was taken from a
goose Matched out in May. A row of
dots found along the keel OF the bone
indicates the temperature, and the
darker the spots the colder will be the
weather. Some light, cloudy disc0lora-
tions that spread out over the keel of
the bone are indications of falling wea-
ther, and the darker their discolorations
the msre ram or snow there Will be.
The marks dividing the bone indicate
the three winter months, December
commencing at the 'front.'
A careful reading of the bone indi-
Gates much more regular weather than
was had last year and not SO severe.
There will not be many days in which
running water will freeze. The coolest
weather will occur during the first half
of January, and along between the 7th
ard 18th there will be several days of
| freezing. 1t will be the severeSt part
of the whole season. Near the point of
the bone the discoloratiOn is little
heavy, thus showing that the first days
of winter Will give proof of the seasons
change. This will be followed by rising
temperature and falling weather for
Christmas.
January will be uShered in cold, and
the cold will strengthen as the days
lengthen, the coldest day of the winter
falling about the s6th of the month.
This severe weather will be brief, fol
lowed by rising temperature and heavy
thaws, and the last half of the month
will see many rains and SHOWS.
During February there will not be
any very cold weather, but it will be a
rather disagreeable month, with snow
and rain. A few cold days is all that
the month will contribute TO the win
ter. An early and decided thaw IS
among the promises of the bone. The
heavy SHOWS of January, under the IN
7 ~. l,arx
overflow the mountain streams, and dis
astrous floods may be looked for.
Altogether, the winter will be what
is known as an open season, and good
wheat year.

Great Salt Lake.

Great Salt lake is in fact not branch
of the sea at all, but a mere shrunken
remnant of very large fresh water
lake system, like that of the still exist
ing st. Lawrence chain. Once upon a
time, American geolOglsts say, huge
sheet of water, for which they have
even invented definite name, Lake
Bonneville, occupied far larger valley
among the outliers of the Rocky noun
tains, measuring 300 miles in one-di-
rection by $50 miles in the other. Be-
side this primitive Superior lay great
second sheet-an early HurOn-( Lake
Lahontan the geolOgistS call iO al
most as big aud equally of fresh
water. BY and blythe precise
dates are necessarily indeiinite-some
change IN the rainfall, unregister-
ed by any contemporary, made the
waters of these big lakes shrink and
evapOrate. Lake LahOntan shrank
away, like Alice in Wonderland,
till there was absolutely nothing
left of it. Lake BOnnevlll shrank TIL
it attained the diminished size OF the
existing Great Salt lake. Terrace al
ter terrace running in long parallel
lines on the sides of the Wahsatch
mountains around, mark the various
levels at which il rested for awhile on
its gradual downward course. 1t IS
still falling, indeed. and the PLAIN
around is being gradually uncovered,
forming the white, salJ-elcrusted shore
with which all visitors to the Mormon
city are so familiar. But why should
Iaanu,n hrfnN- > Whu
should the evaporation OF an old >u-
perior produce at last Great Salt Laker
Well, there is small quantity of salt
in solution even in the freshest of lakes
and ponds, brought down TO them by
the streams of rivers, and, rs the water
of the hypothetical Lake Bonneville
slowly evapOrates, the salt and other
mineral constituents renamed behind,
Thus the solution grew constantly
till at the present day it is extremely
saline. Professor Geikie, TO whose
work the present paper is much indeb-
ted, found that he tlOated on the water
in spite of himself; and the under sides
of the steps at the bathing places are all
encrusted with short stalactities of salt,
produced from the drip of the bathers
as they leave the water. The mineral
constituents, however, differ corsld-
erably in their proportions fcom those
found in true salt lakes of marine origin
and the point at which the salt is thrown
down is still far from having been reach
ed. Great Salt Lake must simmer In
the sun for many centuries yet before
the point arrives at which as cooks say,
it begins to settle.

Novel Plea for Divorce.


Mary Hodge, a pretty young woman
of 20 years, who, on the 21st of August,
1883. was married by Alderman Flinck
to Henry Fuchias, sued in the Superior
Court to have the marriage set aside,
claiming that it was brougt about by
fraudulent representations on the part
of the defendant. Her story Is that
when her parents learned that Fuchsius,
who lived near them, and who had been
but three months in this country,
sought her society, they forbade her
seeing him. Meeting her one day, Fu-
chsius asked her to take walk with
him. Then he said he was about to
90 West, and would make money and
so conduct himself that her father
would not oppose the marriage, and on
his return he would claim her hand.
He asked her to engage herself to him
before lis departure, and they would
90 to the City Hall and be formally be-
trothed. She consented, and at the
City Hall she signed a paper, but there
was no ceremony of marriage. She said
noting to her parents about 1t, until
soon after Fuchsius told her she was
his wife. She told him she would never
be his wife, and would commit suicide
rather than acknowledge him as her
husband. Judge Truax recently gave
Judgment in her favor on the report OF
the referee annulling the marriage.

Feminine Credulity.

On the water side of Vera Cruz
stands a stone image who bruised coun-
telance tells queer tale of feminine
credulity. From time immemorial 1t
has been believed that If marriages.
BILE woman shall hit this image square,
ly in the face with stone she will im-
mediately obtain husband and an ad-
vantageous settlement in life. The
inventor of the fable was evidently ac-
auainted with the fact that women are
not expert in throwing stones. Were
it not for this lamentable inability, the
poor image would have been totally de-
molished years ago. AS it is, the bat
tered face has lost all semblance of feat
ures. and heaps of small stones lying
all about attest the industry Of the
Mexican maidens.

The Summit of Mount Whitney.

Captain Keller In a descriptive ac-
count of a recent trip through the
mountains of Inyo County, thus por-
trays the Summit OF Mount Whitney,
Nevada, one of the grrndest mountain
piles on the face of the earth: 1.-The en-
tire surface of the summit proper, vari-
ously estimated at from four to five
acres in extent, is covered with granite
blocks and slabs, enough to build two
or three st. Peters, or even one of the
pyramids; the incline is slightly to the
west. Looking down from the apex
brought a shudder over me-a vertical
fall of some 4, 900 feet down to the lake
that looks like a spot OF silver. Now,
when you crawl up to the edge to look
off this awful steep, the very flesh seems
to crawl on your bones. 1t is truly
startling to look INTO some of the yawn-
ing chasms surrounding this grand ele-
vation-nearly three miles above the
seal The sky was not perfectly clear,
but we could see Lone Pine distinctly,
and Owens Lake was plainly outlined
so far as it lay in our view. The whole
valley looked more like sea than terra
frmd. One interesting fact strikes you
the moment you cast your eyes around
you from this height-you know every
object is below you.

Teheran Tea Houses.

At all hours the tea houses are in full
blast. The reader may be surprised to
learn that the national beverage of
Persia is not coffee but tea. One would
naturally suppose that acountry so near
Araby the Blest and the aromatic groves
of Mocha would, like the Turks, prefer
coffee. OF course, a great deal of cOf-
fee, prepared in the Turkish way, IS
consumed by the Persians, but the fact
remains that they are essentially tea
drinking race, drinking it in vast quIn-
titles, favored with lemon or tOurchec,
which is the prepared juice Of
the lime, and sweetened almost
to q syrup. The habit is probably the
result of the commercial intercourse
which at an early perioi existed be-
tween Persia and China, and which, as
is now well known, gave an impulse to
the arts of Persia, Of which evidences
appear at various stages of her eSthet-
ic history. At Teheran the tea houses
take the place of the coffee houses of
Constantlnople. One meets them al
every turn, of every rank, but all alike
resorts for rest, leisure and entertain
ment. There one may see public dam
GERS. who by law are now invariably
men, although women of questionable
repute cOntrive to evade the laws some
times and exhibit in the harems.
The male dancers are brought up to
this vocation from boyhood, and invari-
ably wear long hair in imitation OF wo-
men, and shave their faces smooth.
What interests an intelligent European
more at these tea houses than the dance
are the recitatiOns from the poets. The
songs Of HafiZ may be heard there and
entire cantos from the great epic OF
FerdOonSee, repeated with loud, sonor-
GUS mOdulatiOn, heard sometimes at
quite a distance at the more inspiring
passages, and listened to with enthusi-
astic rapture. Here, too, one may hear
the ''Arabian Nights" tales given
without any attempt at expurgation ex-
aetly as in a recent translation.
The reader Will recollect that the
characters in the "Arabian Nights" are
constantly and at every opportunity
quoting long and appropriate passages
from the poets. This may to the Euro
pean appear an affectatiOn of freak of
poetic license on the part Of the author
OF these tales. On the contrary, he was
simply giving US another Of those traits
of Oriental character, the record OF
which has given to those inimitable
narratives Immortality as the finest
picture ever given of the East, which,
after thousands of years. is only Just
beginning to feel the Transforming in
fluence of Western civilization.

The first ten-inning game of the season
vas PLAYED at Minneapolis yesterday, and
was taken by Duluth after hard tussle.
The crowd was large one, and alternately
applauded the fine plays Of either side as
they came. 1t was all off day for Sow
derS, his pitching being wild and unsteady
though not badly punished. The fist part
of the game was exceedingly fine. Mime
apolis making some splendid plays at criti-
cal places, cutting Duluth off without a
run when it seemed impossible to prevent
emptying full bases over the plate. Bald
win was pounded terribly, fifteen hits with
total of twenty bases having been pounded
out To the sixth inning Duluth had only
made one run, out wild throw by Traffey.
base on balls and wild pitch gave them
another rum Three hits and two passed
balls gave them three in the seventh. and
two hits and wild pitch added another in
the ninth, making six i'll all. When Min
neapols went in for the last half
of the ninth. Duluth led by two runs.
With two men out. Traffley and Shafer
each made two-baggers and O'Rouke a
single. which, with Reds muff, yielded
two runs and tied the score, Buckley max
in the third man out and leaving two on
bases. The crowd went wild with enthu-
sasm, but it was too soon. In their half of
the tenth, Sowders gave base on balls
and Tratfiey and Buckley each contributed
an error, which, with double and single,
brought in three runs and Minneapolis
faileu to score in the tenth. SoWderS'
pitching lost the game. Seven men to first
on balls and four wild pitches tell the dis
NAL tale. Everything is revealed in the
