St.. Louis Republic.

St. Louis Republic,
Nevada has q wonderful lake, hard.
Iy as deep but with more points of in
lercst than the wonderful Oregon lake
in "Notes for the Curious" four or five
weeks ago. This Nevada curiosity is
called Lake Mono and is full of soda,
borax and other alkaline minerals too
numerous 10 mention. The dlrtiest

When there is IL high wind wall of
Iather three or four feet hgh is seen
all along the shore where the waves
beat, This quivering wall-in which
may be seen all the Golors of the
rainbow, and as many beauties as
are shown by the kahedoscope-wouId
grow TO q height of ten or twelve feet
before topping over, but that when il
attains height sufficient the wind
catches it up and watts great balls of
it far inland, some of the floating bal.
looms of lather being as large as -four
barrels.
As the prevailing winds arc from
the west every vestage Of vegetation
along the eastern shore for many rods
back is killed beyond hope of ever
springing up. When the winds are
unusually high the balls Of alher reach
a clump Of willows 800 yards from the
shore and sCorGh the leaves like
tongues Of flames would do.
The waller just as it comes from the
lake makes a splendid shampoo, like
that used by BARRIERS, and when the
water is evapoFated the solid mater in
the settings makes a good washing
powder.

A great party is springing up in
Canada in favor of annexation. Today
the United States has land enough to
raise the food for the world, and room
enough for l95,OOO,OOo of people
without elbows touching. But we do
need closer trade relations with
Canada. If we have to annex any
territory let it be Cuba by all means.
It is shame that the United States
does not own a decent island in the

The negroes who crowded into To-

towns during the great exodus craze
of some ten years ago, are moving out
now-they do not like their white
neighbors, although the latter are the
most stalwart Republicans IN the Un'

ity where they can live to themselves,
far away from the whites, We learn
from the New York and Chicago Trib-

America,
The Congressional Dictionary OF
the present year shows that only
twenty Of the Ala members of the two
houses of congress are Of foreign
birth, Yet only nine states have dele
cations whose members arc all natives
of the states they now serve. How
ever, g2G senators and representatives
were bula in the states which send
them to congress, while lG4 we're
born in other states. Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, Washing,
ton, Oregon, Texas, California and
Nevada, have not single representa-.
tive or senator who was born within
their borders, The eastern hives for
many years have been busy sending
their swarms westward, and now tho
newer states of the west reveal the
source of their present strength in
their congressional delegations 1t is
doubtful if any future congress will
show so plainly the newness of the

Railway journals are still discuss
ing the probable lines of roads to be
built in Texas during the coming year.
The route more especially mentioned
is tho direct line from Dallas 10 the
southeast. The idea seems to prevail
that this place win be the common
distributing point for all points on
the coast aud 10 New Orleans, and
also the great lumber district in the
southeast. A prominent Journal points
out the way, showing wherein It must
necessarily follow that two lines will
be built from Dallas ia the direction
named. The one plan is to adopt the
Galveston air line, which is said 10
afford the shortest and best route to
that city, and then to build a line d.
veTging farther east toward the Texas
and Louisiana timber, with a terminus
connecting directly with New Orleans.
II is also claimed that Dallas now has,
Or will in the immediate future, have
