terrific hail storm laid waste a large

as damaging as it might have been.

1t has been discovered that diptheria is
prevalent in the South Dakota hospital for
the insane, located near Yankton. There
are 800 people in the institute, and great al
arm is felt. Six well developed cases are
being treated. 1t is feared that the scourge
cannot be confined to these. The hospi-
tai has no sewerage connection save with a
huge cess pool on the premises, and the &C
cumulated refuse Of two years is deposited
there swelterlng i'll the August sun. The
hospital is under rigid quarantine, and at
taches of it are forbidden to visit the city.
The interior department in the person of
Special Agent Cooper is attempting to APP
praise the damage done by the hostiles to
friendly Indians at Pine Ridge agency last
winter during the disturbance. TWAS sup
posed that the total damages of this char
acter would not exceed $25, 900, but claims
have so lar been put in to the amount of
$500, GOO, and the work isnotyet completed.
AS to the manner in which the Indians are
putting in their claims the matter of trunks
may be taken as criterion. Some Indians
claim to have lost as many as sixteen
trunks, with their contents, worth from
$500 to 5000 each. Special Agent Cooper,
however, was on the ground last winter,
and is in a position to know personally
with reasonable accuracy the exact damage
done. A wholesale pairing of accounts will
be certain to take place before the claims
are finally allowed.

A REMARKABLE freak of nature is
found among the hills of Delaware
County, New York, in a sunken lake
covering about three acres of surface,
which lies between two parallel ridges
not far from the New York, Ontario
& Western Railroad. The whole
surface of the lake is covered with q
thick growth of moss whose stems
extend to an unknown depth, but
certainly further than the arm can
reach. Each tuft of the moss is of a
different color from it's neighbor, SO
that the surface looks like that OF q
beautiful colored carpet. In walking
over the velvety surface the foot sinks
down a few inches without encounter
ing the water. which is at least two
feet below the surface. Near the shore.
in a few places, the water comes to
the top. The buried pond is q won
