FISH ALIVE IN BOILING WATER.
A Nevada Species Which Died on Being
Put Into q Cold Fluid.

A Nevada Species Which Died on Being
Put Into a Cold Fluid.
One of the most remarkable discov-
cries in the shape of a peculiar species
of fish ever made on this continent was
that made at Carson City, New, in 1876
At that time both the Hale & Norcross
and the Savage mines were down to
what is known as the s'2, 20U-foot
level" When at that depth subter-
ranean lake of boiling water was
tapped. The accident flooded both
mines to the depth of 400 feet. After
the water had all been pumped out ex-
cept that which had gathered in basins
and in the inaccessible portions of the
works, and when the water still had a
temperature of 1913 degrees-nearly
scaldlng hot-many queer-looking lit
tie blood-red fish were taken out. In
appearance they resembled goldfish
They seemed lively and sportive
enough when they were in their native
element - boiling water notwith-
standing the fact that they did not
even have rudimentary eyes. When
the fish were taken out of the hot
water and put into buckets of cold
water for the purpose of being trans
ported to the surface, they died as
quickly as a perch or bass would if
plunged into a kettle OF water that
vas scalding hot; not only this, but
he skin peeled off exactly as if they T
lad been boiled. Eyeless fish are com
non enough in all subterranean lakes
nd rivers, but this is the only case on
ecord of living fish being found in
oiling water.

THE WIDEST RIVER.
Tho Rio de Ia Plata, Whose Banks Are
1875 Miles Apart.

We're it not for q decided difference
3 in the color Of the water You would
never know when the Atlantic is left
and the Rio de la Plata entered, says a
writer to the Philadelphia Record.
{ The high-rolIing, uninterrupted pillows
are the same and no land is visible,
for the great river which James dag
de Soils discovered is one hundred and
twenty-five miles wide at its mouth,
though with an average depth of only
fifty feet. Sebastian Cabot, who ar
rived in the year 1920, soon after the
natives had murdered poor Don Soils,
dubbed it River of Silver, not on ac-
count of its color, which might have
won for it the more appropriate name
of Golden river or River of Chocolate
but because he had wrested quantities
of silver from the Indians who swarmed
Its tanks, and naturally imagined that
an abundance of precious metal re-
manned in the vicinity. In point of
fact the terms Argentina and Rio de Ia
Plata (both meaning the same thing
with reference to silver) are misno-
mers, for no metals OF any sort, pre-
cious or otherwise, are found along the
banks of the mighty stream or any
where near it, and the scanty argentif
erous deposits in the hills of the inte-
rior have never been worked. The In
dians aforesaid probably obtained the
silver which SO excited Spanish cupid
ity from Peru and Bolivia, by some
primitive system Of internal commerce
known only to themselves. To this
day metals do not figure in the exports
of the adjacent countries Uruguay,
Paraguay and Argentina, but such
prosaic articles as hides and tallow,
horns, woods, preserved and refrig-
Grated meat, etc.-for their wealth lies

How tho Infants of Certain Ebony Tribes
Take Their Morning Bath.
These Africans are very hardy race.
and I think it is no doubt owing, to Q
very great extent, to the introduction
they receive at q very early age to the
strengthening effect OF cold water bath
ing. Every morning, as soon as they
leave their huts, the women file down
TO tho rivers edge TO give their babies q
bath Tho mother walks knee-deep
into the stream; then catching the half
awakened infant by the wrist, she dips
him into the chilly wnter, and holds
him firmly as he wriggles beneath the
surface. 1t always happens that sew
eral women are 80 occupied at the same
time. and they naturally engage in con.
versation, when the discussion is often
Of so interesting Q character that the
infant in the water Is almost forgotten,
till his frantic struggles and tugging
warn the duslxy parent that he is not
amphibious. The child is then hauled
out, but before he has time to recover,
his violent choking and spluttering are
again lost in the depths of the muddy
stream. After repeating this operation
four or Eve times, tho mother carries

lies in the possession OF diagnosing

after years Of labor and at a large
sum Of money. This watch. says the
New York Evening Sun, has been
made according to some principle o.
anatomy that she has discovered.

that, placed on the wrist, it is a..

disturbance in any one Of these
veins If the watch is placed
on the wrist is pointed
out by the figures on the watch.
Such disturbance indicates some dis
ease according to the vein affected.
The disease being thus identified, it
is treated with herDS and lotions Of
the old Woman's manufacture. There
is no disease this old lady, who is an
educated woman with several learned
diplomas from the cid country, is
afraid to tackle Her method is to
