WILL Be ALLOWED TO LAND
Coroner Levy Interests Himself
for Detained Russian Hebrews.

Coroner Levy read In morning newspaper,
while en- route from Long Branch to this city
to-day, that thlrty-siN Russian Jews detained
at the Barge once on Government orders
were about TO be sent back to Europe.
The article stated that the Treasury De-
partment was In receipt OF advices to the
effect that influences were being brought TO
bear abroad to keep the refugees out of Eng
land and that through these influences many
Russian Hebrews, who would not otherwise
have come here, were being shipped into the

Tale Of subterranean Lake Crusted

While on recent business tour in
Alabama. Gays a correspondent of the ST.
Louis Glo,e- Democrat, l saw curious
phenomenon which is not, 10 my knowl-
edge, repeated in any other part of the
world.
In Bibb County, not many miles from
n town called Six Miles, at n barn ON tho
Six Mile creek, there is II field of two or
three acres which is over suhterranean
lake. The soil is only three or four feet
thick, and you can take sharp rsie and
drive it through to the water beneath.
Half dozen men, Jumping up and
down nj once in any particular spot, Will
mike the cornstalks tremble for ten or
twelve feet around. In the dryest seasons
that patch of ground is always damp, not
to say wet. and 1t can be distinguished
from the rest OF the field by the luvuriant
dark green of the corn planted on 1t.
In one plnce we'll has lern dug 70 the
water. and they say u l0O-tout line failed
to reach the bottom. The water is quite
clear and rs cold ms that of an ordinary
spring, but there seems tn be 70 current,
and the local wonder is how the crust of
earth got on top of the lake and how it
manages to stay there.
