away from home. It's absence was not
noticed for an hour or two, and then the
parents went in search of the child. Thew
found her lying dead beside the spring with
little dead bird oiutched in her hand. She
had evidently seen the bird lying beside the
spring, aud, being attracted by the bright
colers OF its plumage, had tried 10 pick it
up, aud in so doing had inhaled the gas
rising from the water and died with the
bird.
Another time. said the narrator Of this
strange story, "a squaw who vas supposed
TO be recovering from spree wandered
down by ths SPRING. She probably started
to the river to get q drink, when she dis
covered the spring aud knelt beside il. DIV
ing in that position. The s.rangest thing
about II is that. well known az is the deadly
character Of the spring, there Is absolutely
no warning posted, no fence around il. nor
protection against IL OF any kind other than
few limbs of trees ami bushes thrown
over the place by farmers TO keep their
stock away from ig, and the last time saw
the place even the brush had been shattered
until the spring was uncovered. A VEN
turesome man once held his breath and nos
trils aud leaned over the spring to hear the
noise 1t made, which he described as some
thing terrible.
The water is thought to be compara-
lively wholesome, but nothing Is known
positively about IL, as IL has never been
analysed. There can be no doubt, however.
that the spring is certain and instant death
to every living thing that approaches it,"

This was enough TO safety the inquiries

! efforts OF the others 10 capture the dog. but
! Tor some reason he eluded them. Perhaps
he had good reasons for being suspicious Of
BOYS who were too friendly. Anyway be
lodged and kept out OF their way almost
causing one of them to DO crushed under
the wheels Of a cable car, when the wet boy
gave low whistle and ordered the dog to
''come ERE"
The animal obeyed without a whiae.

put his nose between mis- paws. you've

1t was doubtful at first If the boy would
be able to keap his word, but by the help Of
the others, who had taken off his wet cloth
ing and wrapped him up in something drier,
he managed 10 go,
When be saw his master going the dog
followed. and they aoon stood before the
bulletin board In front Of the rink announce
ing the bench show and the terms Of ed-
mittAnce.
There was some consultation and then while
four of them stayed with the boy who had
been in the water, one Of the largest took
the dog by tie strap around his neck, and
paying the admission fee with the combined
wealth OF the company, undertook to drag
the dog in with him.

There might have been fraoas and an
arrest, but just then a gentleman CHANGED
to step TO the door aad ask what was
the matter.

prize for brindle pups" explained the gate

The gentleman looked at the incredulous,
but just then newspaper reporter who had
been watching the boys from the street
stepped up aud corroborated the state
ment.
"Wait here a minute" said the gentle
man and be disappeared within and went
brlskly TO where a group of his friends
were talking. In minute he came back
with something in his hand and followed by
several Others.

ought to be a prize for that Kind OF q dog,
and hera is i've dollar gold piece for the

he stepped forward and tied a knot of
blue ribbon to the strap around the dogs
neck.
A prouder lot Of boys were never seen
than those street waits as they led the dog
away.

TIE POOL OF DEATH.
A Sparkling Spring that Exhales a Gas
Which None Can Breathe and Live.

IA SphrAllnR Hprt1B tueL Exn9leS Gas
Which None Can Breathe and Live.
From the SAP francisco Chronicle.
Talk about Death Valley" said Gavin
McNab last night. 81 know spot in this
state where no living thing can exist five
seconds, and the place is within thirty feet
Of Travelled country road"
TELL US about it." said the gentlemen
clustered around the speaker.
"Well :" said Mr.. MoNab, ~ will, but If I
did not know there was asuperabundance of
proof concerning the story | am about to
relate TO you, would hesitate to tell it.
Along the foot of the Mendocino mountains.
in the county by that name, runs q much
Travelled road, which leads from the town of
hopland to Ukiah. The read is on q bench
or shelf above valley created by the Rus-
sian river, which, like nearly ell California
streams, is constantly changing its channel.
and hence it is sometimes within a hundred
yards Of the road at the nearest point and
again a half-milo away. When the annual
overfiows occur it spreads over the whole
valley, and is mile or more wide. l men
ton this in order that you may understand
the nature Of the valley 1t is q dry river
bed. all sand aud gravel, with here and there
a bunch Of scrubbiDg willows.
In olump Of these stunted trees, at a
point ABOUT three miles from dOpland and
about thirty feet from the road have
mentioned, there bubbles a spring of the
clearest sparkling water you ever saw. The
only thing peculiarly noticeable about the
spring from distance is the loud Kissing
sound 1t makes as it gushes up out of the
gravelly soil. 1t sounds more like boiling
water with occasional jets of steam escap-
ing than 1t does like the ordinary purling
Of a stream. Approach 1t and you will be
startled to see lying around the spring the
skeletons of hundreds OF birds, scores of
small animals, such as coons, foxes and the
like, and nearly always there will ba body
or two Of birds or animals in a more or less
advanced stage Of decomposition near the
edge Of the spring. If a man is wise he will
be content with an inspection of the unat-
tractive spot from a distance, more
especially if there happens to be the carcass
Of steer lying beside 1t with the nose an
inch or two from the water. The fact Is,
gentlemen, that there rises constantly from
the spring gas so noxious and so deadly
that one Whit of it is sufficient to extin-
guish life.
The terrible character of the spriog,"
continued Mr. McNnb, "is well known TO
all who reelde in the neighborhood, and
they tell some horrible stories concerning IL.

farmer living near the spring wandered

THE SAND AuoER OF raE WEST.
Strange Sights Presented by Whirl-
winds on the Planes.
From the "a Lolis RenmhIic


From the So. Louis Republic
One Of the most curious wind phenome,
mons is the sand auger" which is observed
on wide plains where the atmosphere is hot
and dry. When the Union Pacific railway
was being constructed the workmen had
frequent opportunities Of witnessing the
formation and progress Of these Island
auger" whirlwinds. They were especially
frequent In the Lodge Pole Greek valley,
through which the railway, leaving the
Platte river, runs in northerly direction.
The first indications of the near approach
OF one of these "augersn would be the form
alton here aud there in the valley of little
dust whirlwinds or baby cyclones. These
would be whisked away by strong currents
OF cool air, coming from no one knew
where, but all drawing across the valley
towards the eastern range OF hills, their
places being almost instantly occupied by e
fast advancing, funnel-shaped cloud, like
that observed hanging over waterspouts
which are forming at sea- III
From under the surface Of this low-lying
cloud a swaying tongue of lead-eolored
vapor would prolong itself toward the
earth, from which, as il to meet the
monster OF the air, would rise cloud of
dirt aud sand. This earth column would
rise higher and higher, with a swift, whirl-
ing motion, becoming more compact all she
while, until the blue-black vapor from
above aud the brown mass from below
would unite and form the typical sand
auger Of the plains"
The diameter Of these augeis seldom ex-
ceeded fifteen or twenty feet a the ground,
but their bulk increased with their hight,
until they were merged into the broad sur
face OF the thick, murky vapor of the cloud
above. When this occurred, lightning
flashes would sport above the upper stratum
Of the cloud, and immense hailstones would
form in the dark point beneath. When all
conditions were favorable these hailstones
would be thrown by centrifugal force out
from the revolving cloud. These hailstones
were almost invariably of fat. disc shape,
from to inches in diameter inch TO 1 u
inches thick, and made up Of alternate
layers Of sand and ice.
