The largest and most wonderful
spring Of fresh water in the world is on
the Gulf coast of Florida in fernando
County. Tho Wckowechcc river. a
stream large enough to float small
steamer. is made entirely of water
spouted from this gigantic natural we'll,
which is 60 feet in diameter and about
10 or 80 feet deep. Chemists who have
analysed the water say that there is not
trace of organic matter in its compo-
sition. and that it is the most pure and
fresh of any spring in America dime
tossed into the spring can be seen lying
on the bottom as plainly as it could in n
glass of common well water. The
steamer which makes regular excur-
sion trips up and down the Wckowcchcc
is often iloatcd into the cavity Of the
spring, but can not be made to stay in
the center, as the force of the rising
water forces it to the sides OF the basin

BABY BEALs' ADVENTURE.


kidnapped Ly "A Servant and Ransomed
by His Father.
The most remarkable case of kidnapping
since the historic and still unsolved mys-
terry OF Charley Ross disappearance is that
of David I. Beals, Jr., the ~two-year-old
son OF David T.. Beals, president of the
Union National bank at Kansas City.
The family were at inner the other
evening, when a recently engaged servant
known as Lizzie Smith remarked, "Ill get
Mr.. Beals' paper and went into the hall
where the baby boy was playing with his
s~iX-year-old sister Dora. The woman picked
up the child, darted out of the front door
and disappeared. Within three minutes
the family knew that their darling had
been abducted, and every means that law.
love and money could command was set in
motion to effect his rescue. Friends flocked
TO the aid of the afflicted parents, the city
police guarded the depots and turned out
all available men for special duty on the
case, while a general alarm was sent to the
regular patrolmen, and the Pinkerton
agency detailed its skilled Operatives to
find the trail.
1t developed during the night that the
kidnapping was the result of a well laid
plot in which two and probably more con-
spirators were involved. With the Ross
case wildly before his mind Mr.. Beals de

hemians Of Algonquin, Ills, whose cap
tain, James Seyk, weighs 3O5 pounds and
whose anchor man, C. Naudrach, weighs
265 pounds and stands 9 #. 4 in. in his
stocking feet. There were seven other
teans. representing as many prominent
countries Of the globe. Added interest
was given the tournament by contests be-
tween local policemen, iremen, nail car
riers and United States soldiers.
New York has now caught the prevail
ing tug-of-war fever, and beginning Dec.
81 ten teams will pull for $1,000 in prizes at
Madison Square garden The contest is to
last one week, and, as at other places, each
athlete pulling is to get five dollars per
night for his services. When a team is de
feated four times it must drop out. Other
cities are also talking tug-of-war. Boston
will have a contest this month. aud the
sport bids fair to become as popular as the
old time walking match and that later ia
vorite the six days bicycle tournament.
The tug-of-war is usually participated in
by sixteen men, eight on a side, who sit or
lie down, brace their feet against wooden
~tleats, grasp a thick rope near its respec-
tive ends, and at a given signal endeavor
to pull the rope away from their opponents
until six feet is gained by one side or the
other. The sport is said TO have originated
in the British navy, at Portsmouth, Eng
land, about : y EARLE H.. EATON.

A cherry tree in a colony of negroes near
Lake Contrary, Mo, bloonled recently, and
an old colored woman, who is credited
with supernatural powers, declared that it
was an omen OF the approaching end OF
the world. The colony became excited,
held religious services and waited for the
end. But two weeks passed and the ex-
element began to subside. Then several
trees bloomed and all the negroes in the
colony packed their household goods and
left the place. Just how their flight could

dear life. After IA long and stubborn con-
test between the rival male teams the

awarded the first prize of $500. The Can

captured second prize of $500.
st. Louis was the second city to try the
new International sport. Eight teams,
representing America, Scotland, Ireland,
Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany and
Bohemia were selected. The contest,
which was not managed by the men who
made the Frisco tug a success, continued
six days and then broke up owing TO finan-
cial disagreements. Captain Philip Dwy-
er's Irish team was leading, with SwitZer-
land next and Scotland third. Large
crowds attends each night, and the en-
thusiasm was particularly great the even
ing America and Ireland pulled against
each other for three hours and forty-nine
minutes before the wearers of the sham
rock triumphed. This pull is said to have
been the longest amateur pull on record.
When the men at last relaxed their mus
cles, which had been strained to the utmost
for nearly four hours, their bodies were
limp and almost powerless, and their arms
were for a time utterly useless.
St. Paul, the third city to enjoy the
craze, recently watched her ten teams, rep
resenting America, Ireland, Germany, Den
mark, Canada, Bohemia, Norway, Sweden,
France and England, pull for gold and
glory with a great deal of interest. A few
days after st. Paul's contest was begun
Chicagoans of various races, kinds and

vorite teams pull for the first prize of $1,000.
