1t is possible that the famous specter
of the Broken may yet have its photo
graph taken, and so become familiar
to thousands who have never seen the
mysterious shade itself 1t is known
that the SO called specter is simply the
shadow of a person standing upon the
mountain, projected upon the surround
ing mist.
Two or three years ago Professor
Hazen, while making meteorological
observations on the summit of Mount
Washington, used to amuse himself by
causing the specters of night visitors to
the observatory to appear in the mist
enveloping the peak.
For this purpose it was only neces-
sary to so place a light as to cast the
shadow of a person upon the foggy
cloud ahead of him.
Sometimes a gigantic specter was
produced with startling distinctness,
although never any equaling the phe-
nomenOn seen from the Broken, where
the conditions are peculiarly favorable.
Recently Mr.. A w Clayden has re
ported to the Royal Meteorological so
ciety the results of similar experiments
made by him in the London fog of last
February. He succeeded in raising his
own specter by placing a lime light be
hind his head Then he photographed
the specter.-Youth's Companion.

A Dolls GRAVEYARD.

Living in Oakland is a five-year-old
miss with a grewsome idea in regard to
playthings. In the yard of her mothers
house she has grave which she looks
after as carefully as a mother does her
only sons last resting place. Several
weeks ago she asked her mamma if
baby dolls died and what became of
them. Being answered in the negative
she said she was sorry, as she would
like to have a dead dollie"
Several days later she sat one of her
dolls on the sill and purposely allowed
it to fall from the window to the
ground. Poor dollie's head was cracked
by the drop of ten feet, and the five
yearold Immediately declared it was
dead. She then got some kitchen
utensils, and, unseen by any member
of the family, she dug a grave along
side the fence in the shade of an old
apple tree. She made the grave about
Is by 4 inches, and the top of it about
II inches above the surrounding
ground. Twice every day since then
she visits the small mound ito fix it
up" Yesterday afternoon, about the
time loving hands were placing flowers
and watering the plants on graves Of
relatives in the different cemeteries in
and around the city, the little girl was
arranging flowers on the dolls grave
Around the edge she placed white
lady slippers" and in the center laid a
small cross of red carnations. From a
washstand she secured an oblong piece
of white marble, which she stuck in
the ground at the head of the grave,
after vainly trying to make marks on
it giving the dolls name, age at death,
etc. She says she is going to have
regular graveyard, and will invite other
little girls to bury their dead dolls it it,
