Idaho's Lost River.

There's good chance for some en-
terprising reporter or explorer out IN
Idaho Fails City, d." said Willis G.
Emerson, who is at the Grand Pacific.
Mr.. Emerson thinks that town is des-
tined to be the greatest on earth. eve
have the greatest water power IN the
country in the Snake River there, and
just where it all comes from is some
thing Of a mystery. That's what we
want to find out. Above the city to the
east the Snake River is from 500 to l POO
feet IN width. AS it nears the city it
narroWs down and flows through pas
sage 200 feet wide, square as fume and
built in natures most approved and
solid masonry. The government geo.
logical surveyors have sunk a plummet
1863 feet in the rapids and have never
been able to strike bottom. Still that
vast volume of water keeps going by as
swiftly as the water flows over Niagara
Falls, and it has been running just as
long as the oldest settler can remem-
Der. The Snake River, which starts
from little lake in Yellowstone Park,
does not seem able to supply the great
volume of water. It is believed that
the Lost River helps out the supply.
The Lost River starts in two streams
above Yellowstone Park. They come
together forty miles above Idaho Falls
City, and form a good sized river which
runs along for two miles and then dis
appears IN the bowels of the earth and
is lost. In that way it obtains its name.
''The surveyors and biologists think
the Lost River runs through subterra-
mean passage which has it's exit
just where the rapids of the Snake
River begin. Although many articles
and vessels have been launched on the
waters OF the Lost River just above the
point where it disappears, none of
them have ever shown up in the rap
ids. That subterranean passage ought
to be explored, and the citizens of our
town will gladly provide any kind Of a
barrel or craft for anyone that cares to
take passage into the earth via the Lost
River. There's no telling what an eX-
plorer might strike on such voyage.
The Lost River certainly goes some
place, and jewellers out around it would
like to know inst where it does stop
doing business. y Chicago Tribune.

A Chinese Myth.

How was the musical scale first in
vented? That query, which has trou-
bled the theorists of all lands, and has
had its answer hitherto only in mysti-
flying speculations and unintelligible
theories, the Chinese will reply to by a
legend most ingenious and most apro-
pos, which, they hold, offers complete
exclamation of the mystery. In the
reign of Hoany-ty, they say, there was
once prince called Lyng-lun, who was
the most beautiful man and at the
same time the most profound musician
in China. He, under pain of a severe
penalty by the Order-loving emperor,
was commanded to arrange and regu-
late Chinese music on the same princl-
pie whereon Hoang-ty had arranged
law and politics throughout the Chi
nese Empire.
Full of thought, Lyng-lun wandered
to the land of Si-jaung, where the bam-
boos grow. Having taken one Of them,
he cut it off between two of the knots,
and pushing out the p;th, blew into the
hollow. The bamboo uttered a most
beautiful note, to Lyng-lun's intense
surprise. simultaneously, the river
Hoang-ho, which ran boiling by,
roared with its waves, and the tone was
in unison with the note of the bamboo.
Behold" cried Lyng-lun, "the funda-
mental sound of nature" Two mag
ical birds then came and perched them
selves upon some trees near, and sang
one after the other the seven notes of
the scale, starting from the tone which
had been roared by the Hoang-ho and
warbled by the bamboo. Here is a
scale, says the Chinese, at once intelli-
gible, inimitable and easily revealed.
Lyng-lun had merely to cut seven more
bamboos and tune them to the pitches
This he did; and thus was the art of
music inaugurated and founded by
Hoang-tv's court musician on firm and
unalterable basis.

HE HAS A BIG HEAD.
1t is Thirty-two Inches Around, But j
Serves Him Very Well.

1t is Thlrty-tWO Inches around, But 1t
Serves Him Very Well.
There is man in this city, says q
Washington correspondents of the Phila-
delphia Record, who has the biggest
head in the world. His name is Lotus
Jones Parker, and his head measures a
around. The girth of the average mans
head is about tWenty-one inches.
Mr.. Parker is IS years old, and is a
respected citizen ofthe capital. He has
been business man, with place on
Louisiana Avenue near Seventh Street,
but for twenty years he has been
leading retired life. He did not re-
tire upon the accommodations OF an
active business career. as many worthy
men do, but upon a bonus or subsidy
given by three noted physicians of
Washington. who wanted to secure his
remarkable head for autopsy when he
came to shake off the mortal coil
That subsidy was begun twenty years
ago. He was then % years old, and the
enterprising medicine men thought then
that he would not live much longer.
They could not see how man with so
big head and so small body to feed it
could hold out beyond SO years, the
average VI l1lG. DO lHO C1IuOW-
ment was set aside for his maintenance,
the conditions being that he was not
permanently to leave the district of
Columbia, and that the doctors were to
have his body for scientific purposes
when he had no further use for it.
The correspondent had talk with
this great physical curiosity the other
day. He has a pretty clear head, but
there is striking popularity about bis
mental processes which has led some of
the experts to think that he has in his
prodigious skull two distinct brains,
which sometimes work in unison and
sometimes do not. Dime museum peo-
pie have been after him for ten years,
but, being provided for amply, his sense
of family pride has led him TO refuse
all offers.
Afterward he remarked, with glance
of cool shire witness, that if it was any
object to anyone to know it two out of
the three doctors in question were dead.
Then he added, still with strange ex
preston of cunning on his Quilp-like
countenance: "In regard to the third
one | think my lease of life is about as
good as his ~
A good many people about Washing
ton believe that it is a simple case of
hydrocephalus or water head, though
this notion is seemingly negatived by
the fact that this ailment has never
been known to allow it's victim to enjoy
forty-eight years of lite, good health
and good wit

Bric-a-Brac Worth 100000.

What is known in Paris as the Splitter
collection is one of the most remark able
if not the most remarkable, collection
of bric-a-brac in the world. The late
Mr.. Splitter was an Austrian by birth
but became French citizen, settling in
Paris in 1852. His collection has been
the result of nearly forty years of labor
of its late owner, who was dealer in
antiquities and bric-a- brac before he be-
came the greatest collector of medieval
objects of art of our day. There are
nearly 1900 different items in
it's catalogue and it is valued at 4,000,-
900 francs.
1t consists of the highest type of per-
lection in metal work, tapestry,
faience. leather work, enamel, wood
carving, ivory, miniature painting, cabi-
net work, made by the olden masters.
Efforts are being made to obtain this
collection intact for the Columbian Ex
position, although there are great
obstacles in tao way, says tbs London
Graphic, First of all tie collection is
one OF such great value that, naturally
enough, those how in charge of it hesi-
tate TO take the risk of sending it across
the water. Then tits said that the laws
Of France would hardly permit proper
tv which is portion of an estate to 90
out of the country We understand,
too, that it is one of the conditions Of
M. Spitzer's will that the coll ection
shall not leave France for four years
after his death, except with a guarantee
that it will be sold.
Notwithstanding all this the World's
Fair people are striving to meet all these
obstacles. II they are successful then
the collection will unquestionably re-
main in this country. We should not
be at all surprised to see 1t in the new
Art destitute building on the lake
shore. 1t is understood that this is one
of tire matters which Chief Ives. of the
Art Department, is striving to Adjust

Leland Stanford, the Alliance candi-
date for President, once refused to buy
a book from woman on the ground
that he never spent money foollshly.
Perhaps his real reason was that he
did not wish to encourage book agents.
Mr.. Stanford could not urge this as
reason for not purchasing REDS GER
