: THE DEAD SEA. wSz
win It'. myst.ri.. Kv.r .. so,v,a,

Will Ht's Mysteries Ever Ne Solved,
One of the most in interesting lakes or
inland seas In the world is the Dead
ses, which has no visible outlet 1t Is
not mere fancy that has clothed this
sea In gloom. The desolate shores,
with scarcely green thing in sight,
and scattered over with black stones
and ragged drift-wood, form a fitting
frame for the dark. sluggish waters,
covered with perpetual mist, and
breaking in slow. heavy, scpulchral
waves upon the beach. 1t seems as if
the smoke of the wicked cities was vet
ascending up to heaven, and as If the
moan OF their fearful sorrow would
never leave that God smitten valley.
1t is strange thing to see those
waves, not dancing along and spark
ling as other waves, but moving with
measured melancholy, and sending to
the ear, as they break languidly upon
the rocks, only doleful sounds. This
Is, no doubt, owing to the extreme
heaviness of the water. On attempt
ing to swim we went floating about
like empty casks. This experiment
WIS more satisfactory in its progress
than in its results, which were very
unctuous SKIN and q most pestiferous
stinging of every nerve, as if we
had been beaten with nettles
Nor was the water we took into our
mouths whit less vile than the most
nauseous drugs of the apothecary.
That fish cannot live in this strong so
luton of bitumen and salt is too obvi.
Gus to need proof; but TO say that birds
cannot fly over 1t and live is an exag-
geration OF travellers, who, perhaps,
were not, like ourselves, so fortunate
as to see flock of ducks reposing or
the water in apparently good health
And yet this was all the life we did
see. The whole valley was one seeth
ing caldron, under more than tropica
sun.

TOADS ON THE TRACK.


tci"iHhtlOu.
1t is difficult TO see at first what is
the relation that exists between toads
and railroads. Many persons. however,
insist that such 4 relation does exis,
and that it is a yer intimate one in.
deed. as they accuse the railroads OF
destroying the tOads. A man who is
not very fond of toads might think that
there art already too many of them,
although agriculturists do not look at
the matter in the same light. The toad
is a great eater of harmful insects, and
1t seems that in many localities the
toads are disappearing.
When the young toad is able to jump
its principal amusement is to wander
around in cool places. Now, it often
happens that after a shower it goes to
the nearest railroad. climbs up the bank
and manages To reach the top Of the
rail, from which it generally falls off
on tho opposite side. Then it crosses
the road and tries to jump over the op-
posite rail, but, being too small, il can
not jump high enough, and, in spite OF
its efforts. is imprisoned indefinitely be-
tween the two rails. 1t hops along the
road, but. finally deprived Of food and
exhausted by its unsuccessful Efforts. it
dies. An engineer walking along a
track not long ago counted three hun
dred emaciated bodies of toads in 4
space of ten meters. Astory is related
of an immense number of toads that
fairly blocked a railroad for several

THE JAPANESE WALNUT.
A Tree That 10 Now Attracting some Al
tention In This Country.

A Tree That 10 Now Attracting Some At
trntion in This Country.
The Japanese walnut, which is NOW
attracting some attention, appears to
have been introduced into the United
States about twenty-five years ago.
The oldest trees are at Tower House.
Shasta County. Cal, the property
of Charles Camden. There are two
trees. They bore nuts at eight years
of age" Mr.. Camden writes. The
trees grow very thrifty and are hand
some in shape. and are very full and
regular bearers" The illustration is
made from specimens from these trees.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Camden
sent trees to General Bidwcll. at
Rancho Chico. and they are now bear
ing. These and the two original trees
are the only ones yet fruiting in this
country. The tree is now offered -
some Eastern nurscrymcn. and W.
shall soon hope Ia know something
definite as To its hardness and capahil-
tiles. The species grows in Northern
Japan and is said to be as hardy as TN
oak.
Juglans Sicboldiana is closely allied
To j. Handkerchief. another species of
Eastern Asia, though it is not recorded
as a cultivated plant In Japan. DIR.
MaximOwicz. the author Of both species.
says that he has often seen them grow
ing and knows of no good distinction
between them. except the characters Of
the nuts. j. Handkerchief has oblong
and ridged nuts. while J. Sicboldiana
should have short and smooth nuts. In
shape. the nuts of the specimens figured
lsce illustrationD are very like those Of
J. Handkerchief, but their smoothness
