There Is ana interesting instance Of
water flowing inland from the sea. Its
fouud on the island of Cephalonia, in the
Iouian sea, west of Greece. The phe-
uompnon occurs on the southwest side
Of the island, near the small town and
port Of Argostoh. Two streams flow al
a slor1 distance from one, straight from
the sea for "a few yards, and then follow
different courses. One turns at right
angles and runs for some ways parallel
with the shore and close TO it. Then il
turns again toward the sea, and run

doubles completely under itself, thus
forming a loop. and finally passes ont Of

The other stream disappears in thl

This curious phenomenon has not at
tracted much attention because Argos

There lives at the big penitentiary on
chnreb street a family Of dogs which are
as interesting as any dogs in the state.
Some Of them belong TO the officials con

to the prison itself. but they all live and
eat tocether in perfect harmony. The
most prominent, perhaps, Is the large
Newfoundland. Nellie. the property OF

Nellie loves her babies very much: in
fact she loves any kind Of child, and
will play with one by the hour. Her
master has little four-year-old girl, and
when Nellie is there to see her they al
ways have big romp. One Of their
games is hide and seek. The little girl
aoes and hides while Nellie is held with

takes her by the arm and leads her TO her

TO have an acquisition of a curious char
acter. II is the identical frame house in
which Jesse James lived the last four
months of his life. and in which he was

house has stood unoccupied on bluff
back Of st. Joseph, Mo. The bullethole
in the wall is still TO be seen and the
blood stains on the floor have never been
efaced The house was sold 10 the
agent Of the Chicago museum for the
sum Of $500, and it is to be taken down
in sections, removed hence and set up
again in the big building in Wabash
