Mysterious Fires Which Are Believed to
Have Supernatural Origin.

! says Findlay (Ohio) dispatch to the To-
ledo Blade. is farm house which, at
present is the center of a good deal of
mcdnny speculation caused by a series of
fires as strange as they are unaccOmtable
Up to Sunday the house was occupied
by a family by the name of Miller. but
they could not stand the pressure put upon
them last week, by what they allege were
spirits, and they moved out. From d
member of the family the Blades cor
respondent obtained the following partic-
ulars of the mysterious occurrences which
eliminated IN their remOva. from the
splrlt-cOntrolled premises. According to
this gentleman, on last Wednesday. bed
IN one Of the upstairs rooms caught fire
from no apparent cause. and burned up
completely. without the flames cOmmuni-
eating to single other object in the room.
There was no hre In the apartment from
which the bed could have caught, besides
it was in the afternoon when the chamber
was not occupied. This. of itself, was a
disturbing occurrence but it was nothing
to what the family felt when. on the next
afternoon at about the same hour, a
chest, containing clothing. in another
part of the house, was discovered in flames.
and despite al the efforts made burned to
ashes without even scorching the floor
upon which it stood, and without anything
else being injured in the slightest.
On Friday afternoon the spirit of the
same fre-fend again took possession of
another bedroom. and destroyed the bed
and clothing as completely as on the first
visit, and with as little injury to the other
surroundings. Then the family did get
scared.
Another house was secured and prepar-
atlons made to move on the following
Monday, but on Saturday. at the usual
hour in the afternoon. dress hanging in
a closet was consumed by fire while gar
ments hanging all about it had not even
the smell of smoke upon them This was
too much for the Miller family, and not
withstanding it was Sunday. they got out
of the house and away from their unpleas-
ant fre-worshiper- and the house is. to-
day, the object toward which many Wis
itOrs are tending.
There is no explanation of the mvsteri-
GUS fires, except that they were the work
Of spirits which. of course. is no expIana-
ton at all. but the facts remain as above
stated. and the neighdorhOod Is all ex-

with hedges of cactus twelve feet high in
some places and at the lake, at the foot of
the hill on which the palace is built, / saw
q halfdozon great, black crocodiles sloeping
in the sun.
The travel along the road was hs CURIOUS
as the wild animals of the country, and we
passed camel aftor camel ridden by men,
boys and women. I shall not soon forget
the shabby trick which one camel driver
served us. The flies were very bad. They
swarmed about the elephant by ,thousnnds,
and persisted In attacking my eyes and face
when my hands were both occupied one In
holding on ana the other In trying to keep on
the rays OF the sun with an umbrella. This
camel driver was as badly afflicted with flies
as was but upon nearing the elephant he
whipped up his camel, and then pulling his
long, white turban from his head, he swept
both sides of his camel rs he pussed us.
THE FLIES LEFT HIS CAMEL
and came to the elephant and his luughruug

Queer Sculpture and Painting on the
Rocks in West Virginia.
The erection Of the new government
dam in the river near the city has
hidden from signt the famous pictured
rock," one of the familiar landmarks
of the Kanawha valley, and one wfich
has occasioned much wonder and fruit
less speculation, writes Charleston
correspondent of the New York Sun.
The rock was located near the mouth OF
Paint creek, and, while the river was
in the natural condition, was visible at
low water every summer. Some years
ago part of the stone was removed for
building purposes, an act of vandalism
which should have been prevented at
all hazards, and now the remainder is
submerged at all seasons of the year.
When whole, the surface of the pic
tnred rock" was about twenty by thirty
feet in extent, and was covered with
representations of animals, fish, and
fowls, carved deep in tho smooth
surface. On one slde were the
figures OF man and bear,
the latter being about life size.
Near by was buffalo track, and a short
distance away was the representation OF

Enjoyment to Poor Little Folks.
I,don't know anything that yields so

ton correspondent of the Worcester
Spy. The Massachusetts Emergency
and Hygiene association provided seven
OF these play grounds for poor children
last summer ut cost of 81 for each OF
the 400 little ones entertained for eight
weeks. In Berlin the government
provides heaps OF clean sea-sand
in the parks and squares, in which
the German children play under the
general care of the police. In Boston
the ladies started the movement, the
school committee gave the use of the

tributed the money, poor, but reliable,

and pals in the sand, whose fascination
was unending- Others were playing

day it is calculated that the matrons
would have entertained almost one hun
dred and thirty thousand children.

The prettiest Actress in Paris.

her youth. had the dimpled plumpness
which unluckily became veXatious obe-
sity; the second is slender and thin, all
muscle, without suspicion of fatness-
just n due ooyeringo of flesh on her bones.
The fact is, she is pretty. distinctly and
charmingly pretty; with dark hair
clinging to her forehend, clear, deep
eyes, very black eyebrows drawn with
u single stroke of masters hand; a
long, oval face, and something sweet
and maidenly and yet sensual in her
whole person, and above all the distine-
tion which promises "A woman of the
world. There sno trace, no sign of the
free-and-easy airiness which stamps the
common actress; everything about her
is close-fitting, lose-buttOned, neat and
in good taste; nothing to catch the eye
or divert attention from that charming
