Cholera Conquered.

The cholera has been conquered
in New York. There have been
over a dozen cases In all, and it
has been impossible to account for
any one of them except on the be-
lief that they were sporadic. DR..
Jenkins and the health officials
announced On the 25th that not an
authentic case existed in the city.
In the quarantine off the city
the disease still continues, but only
a few cases are reported. The Nor
mania cabin passengers have been
released, and all the immigrants
on the Rugia and Moravia are
free. No new cases On the Bohemia,
which arrived on the 18th with a
record of forty cases on the voy-
age. A steerage quarantine camp
has been established on Sandy
Hook, and there the steerage pas

velopments.
In Europe the cholera is still
raging in Hamburg, St. Petersburg
in all Of Russia, and new cases are
reported all over Austria and
France. Up to date Hamburg has
had over II 900 cases and about
5000 deaths, though the authori.
ties report only about 1000 deaths
1t is reported that the disease i:
abating in Hamburg and business
is again being resumed.

THE BOY AND THE LION.

Remarkable Adventure of a Ten-Year-OId
Boy in the Colorado Mountains.
1.-THE most remarkable adventure |
know of was that of ten-year-old boy
in Colorado" said ST. Louis man to a
Republic reporter. "a party of us had
gone from Pueblo for weeks hunt
ing and fishing along the Arkansas
river. We carried tents and camped
out. A man named Britton had his
young son with him, a manly little fell
low, who could land trout and bring
down an antelope with the best of us.
One day he got separated from the
party, lost his way and spent the night
IN the mountains. He had with him
3s-caliber rife, good weapon for small
game, but in the section where we
were camped mountain lions were
plentiful.
His father was well-nigh distracted,
and we searched all night long for the
adventurous youngster without avail.
Just at sunup we started to return to
camp. AS we descended a ravine we
discovered the object of our search,
sound asleep, with his head pillowed on
an enormous mountain lion, which was
curled up as though enjoying nap,
Three of us approached cautiously to
within fifty yards, drew bead on the
animal and at a given signal fired. The
brute never stirred. The boy, whom
we supposed dead, half rose, rubbed his
eyes and inquired peevishly: 'Whatare
you fellers tryin t'do? I killed this

WONDERFUL SIGNAL LIGHT.
Messages Flashed Distance of Eighty
Eve MiIea.

| Five Miles.
| The experiments with a powerful
search light on Mount Washington have
had some highly interesting results,
says the Youths Companion. The light,
which is of one hundred thousand
candle power, produces sufficient il
Elimination at distance of twenty
miles from the summit of the mountain
to render ordinary print legible. A
narrow beam shot upward at an angle
of forty five degrees was visible over
head at Portland, eighty-fve miles
away.
The elevation of the light above the
surface of the earth at Portland must
have been more than eighty miles. Yet
when it was made to flash "dot and
dash" signals in the air, telegraph
operator at Portland readily interpreted
the words thus transmitted to him, and
to prove that he saw the signal, tele-
graphed the words back to Mount Wash
ington.
He could not see the light on the
peak, which was hidden by intervening
clouds, but only the beam of light pass
ing at height of eighty miles above
his head.
This.fact seems more surprising when
we reflect upon the excessive rarity of
the atmosphere at such an elevation,
for of course the beam of light would
not be visible if it did not illuminate
the air through which it passes, just as
ray of. sunlight, entering through
knot hole, makesa luminous beam in the
dusty air of a barn.
1t is evident at a glance that these
experiments have a most important
bearing upon the art and practice of
at a distance. Signal beams
of light thrown high and far in the air
may yet prove of immense use for mill
tary and other purposes on land, and in
the guidance of vessels surrounded by
perils at sea.

HOUSEKEEPING ON LAND.

An English Pastime Which May Be
Transplanted to America.
'sCaravaning," like ~1houseboating,"
is a recreation Indigenous to the Eng
lish soil A caravan is a sort of house
boat on wheels, fashionable and
modernized gypsy cabin, or an improved
photographers car. 1t Is drawn by
horses, and develops a speed something
betweena canal boat and an express
train, according to the number and GO
ing qualities of the steeds before it. 1t
is not distance, however, but time that
a caravan is looked to to annihilate, SO
the matter of speed is secondary, says
the New York Times The vehicle,
filled with carefully selected company
of picknicl1crs, ambles along lovely
country road until some sweet retreat
is encountered, when it stops, and
there you are for as long as you want
to be, and sometimes longer.
In the caravan you may eat, sleep,
but not live; that you must do out of
doors. If it should rain you may exist
within its shelter, if you can, till the
sun shines again. When everybody is
tired of the sweet retreat-and one of
the thorns of caravaning is that there
is chance of your getting tired of it
before everybody party moves on,
like the snail, with it's house upon its
back. There is talk of introducing this
pastime over here, but it seems hardly
suited to the lively American tempera-
ment. A ride on the top of Fifth

A NFLOATING FARM.
Chautauqua Lake the Scene of a
Queer Legal Contest.


A curious legal complication is excit-
ing the interest of residents about Chau-
tauqua lake. On the night OF August
"a a severe storm visited the country
around the lake, and the next morning
a dozen islands were seen where there
had been an unbrollen Jake surface be-
fore. These islands, on one of which
large trees were growing, proved to be
great masses of earth broken from the
mainland by the storm and driven down
the lake by the high wind. The largest
contained about an acre and a half and
had been broken from the farm of Mrs.
James Stone. 1t had been carried four
miles down the lake and lodged in Bur-
tic bay near the lake front, owned by
Charles Clifford. As that gentleman
was not pleased with the unsightly adj
dition to his property, he sold it to
Charles Wicis, a real estate dealer, for
five dollars, on the promise of the latter
to make extensive improvements upon
it. At the same time Charles Niedhart,
another real estate man, went to Mrs.
Stone and purchased the property from
her, pay ing five dollars Both Wicks
and Niedhart received quit-claim deeds.
Now both purchasers claim the prop
erty, and the courts will be called upon
to decide between them, says the Og-
,densburg IN. " Journal
The legal fraternity began to discuss
the case, and some puzzling questions
arise. Thus, is the property real or
personal? If personal, being movable,
was it the property of the original own
er after it had been lodged in the high
way? If real estate, it is properly an
accretion of the land against which it
lodged, or, having found anchorage in
the public highway, does it revert to
the state? 1t is argued that, being
movable, Mr.. Wicl1s title will not hold,
as he has no right to drive piles in the
highway to hold it, while another storm
might carry it further down and against
another mans property, or a passing
steamer might hitch and pull it away,
thus making it the property of any per-
son along the lake front
The belief begins TO prevail that in
.Chautauqua valley was once large
body of water, over portion of which
"A crust of land has been formed, and
that the farming lands around it are
but a short distance above surface. On
Marvin park an undulating motion of
the ground is discernible when horse
passes over it, and when the annual fair
is held upon it many timid persons re
fuse to remain because of the distinct
ness of the strange vibration. Also in
,exhaustible artesian wells are reached
at from fifty TO one hundred feet below
the surface. The city of jamestown is
supplied with water from these wells,
which were drilled about four miles to
the east, and some Of which dozv five
hundred thousand gallons day.
The phenomenon is a remarkable one
and is likely to engage the attention of
the scientists who assemble annually at
Chautauqua. Naturally the owners of |
farms along the lake will feel some UNI
easiness when the next big storm comes.
To have the lake dotted all over with lit |
tie island farms would mar it's symme
try and yet undoubtedly add to its pic
