COLORADO hasa subte1ranean lake of
considerable extent, covered with soil
about eighteen inches deep. On the
soil is cultivated a field of corn, which
produces thirty bushels to the acre.
The ground is black mari in nature,
and in all probability was at one time
an open body of water on which ac-
cumulated vegetable matter, which
has been increased from time to time,
until now it has a crust sufficiently
strong and rich to produce fine corn.
While harvesting the hands catch
great strings of fish by making hole
through the earth. A person rising on
his heel and coming down suddenly
can see the growing corn shake around
him. Anyone having sufficient strength
to drive a rail through the crust will
find on releasing it that it will disap-
pear altogether.

A Dimcnlt Language.

People reared in an environment OF
Anglo-Saxon custom and tradition
have always found Chinese the most
difficult of all languages to acquire. 1t
is not very surprising, therefore, to
learn that the British army authorities
have found it almost impossible, even
by the most persuasive inducements,
to get their officers to undertake, the
study of the mandarin tongue. Ten
years ago the government offered
handsome prizes to any officer who
could show satisfactory progress in
.learning Chinese, and now q reward Of
two thousand rupees is promised to all
officers passing an elementary exalni-
nation in this difficult language Of
monosyllables. In the United States
Chinese is but little studied About
ten years ago Harvard college offered
a course of instruction in it, and i'm
ported most imposing mandarin to
teach it, but hardly half dozen stu
dents out-of the one>thousand five hun-
dred there made use of the opportuni-
Iity. Yeta number of Harvard students
during the last twenty years have gone
to China after graduation and "picked
up" the language very handily.

Aerial Navigation.

Among the congresses to be held
in Chicago during the time of the
worlds fair, the one which may have
the most important bearing upon the
future of the human race is probably
that which has been convened for the
purpose Of discussing the question of
aerial navigation. Whether the ma
chine which is being constructed at the
Smithsonian institution will be finished
in time to permit of its exhibition has
not TRANSFERRED; but there will be mod
els by Maxim, the Englishman, and
others, which will be entitled to the
respectful consideration of scientists.
There are great number Of individu-
al experimenters now trying to solve
this fascinating problem, and by a
comparison of notes it may be possible
for them to evolve some system of en-
ulating the winged animals which
glide so easily through the air above
us. 1t would seem from the progress
which has been made in the last few
years, and from the serious considera-
ton which the subject is receiving
from mechanical experts, that a be-
ginning in this method of travelling
will be made before many more years
have gone by.

In reference to the mania for gam
bling on racehorses, curse which is
blighting the lives of very large per
cent. of the youth of the United States,
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat presents
the following phase OF the evil:
"Where does the crowd get it's money
for racing? Thisis question that has
bothered great many people. Men
who do not earn more than a living at
most are seen at the track day after
day, and some way .or another they get
money to play every race. They leave
in3the evening with jpstenough money
to pay their car fare home, but they
appear early the next day equipped
with the needful to try their luck
again. They can't-all borrow, for race
meeting time is suspicious borrowing
period for people of limited means and
salaries. They can let grocery and
butcher bills go, and also the landlord
for time, but even that is not sufi-
.cient to buy an interest in race horse
out of every collection that goes to the
post. If the money handed over the
pawnbrokers' counters and into the
boxes of the boobmal1ers was marked,
the source of a very large percentage
of it would be found. Avery safe cal
cnlation, made by those in the bust
ness, puts the amount of money paid
out by the five leading pawnbrolSers
at fifteen thousand dollars daily.
Ninety-nine hundredths of this goes
to the race track. The smaller
pawnbrokers average five hundred
to seven hundred dollars per day,
and it seems probable that in all the
followers of the bang tails get twenty
thousand dollars day from this source.
They put up anything and everything,
and their money so realized all goes.
Some of the pledges are redeemed
within a few days, while manyof them
are carried for months, until theowner
has recuperated sufficiently to take
them out. In the end seventy-fve per
cent. of them are redeemed. but. only
after the mans nose has been held to
J the grindstone a good long season"

Cheap Fame.

Il well-l1nown writer for the maya
zines was opening his mail the other
day when he came upon a circular
from one of those housekeeping bu-
reas which offer to send to men1who
get their names in print whatever is
published about them at the seemingly
modest cost of five cents a clipping He
laughed as he threw the circular on
the floor. rEither other writer's are
far richer than 1 am, +" said he, cor these
clipping-bureau people are wasting
lot of time sending circulars to them.
The average writer for the magazines
receives between a cent word and two
cents word for his work, and, there
fore, he gets between eighty dollars
and two hundred dollars for an article,
according to it's length and his fame.
The magazine publishers send out a lot
of printed notices of and credited ex-
tracts from the articles of each months
number to hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of newspapers. The editors of
the great New York, Boston and Chica-
go dailies write their own critiques and
notices, but the editors.of the papers
in the smaller towns and cities simply
print the prepared puffs and extracts
which are sent to them. At five cents
a copy the original notices are worth
having, but at the same price the hun
dreds and hundreds of reprinted pre-
pared puffs would cost modest writer
a great deal more than he,received for
his article"

gentleman of ample means, he intends
to take house in Chicago, TO stay sew

gaining the knowledge which is ae-
quired by travel, is to raise, the funds
necessary for the establishment, of "a
school in Japan for deaf and blind

Mr.. Morimoto proposes to give series
of entertainments of unique and
pleasing character, for which an ad-
mission fee is. charged, the proceeds
to be devoted to his philanthropic
project.

FOLKS who are ambitious of writing
tor the magazines, and are not dis
couraged when manuscript has been
rejected two or three times, will learn
with pain of confession made by a
young man employed as copy-reader
on popular magazine, as reported in
q New York exchange, He,0wned that
he and man holding like place on
another magazine had private mark
which was intended to advertise to
each that the other had passed upon
and rejected manuscript. He insist
ed that this mark was placed upon
such manuscripts as were hopelessly
bad, but the possibility of,cooperative
copy reading must strike terror to am
billions young writers.

IT is familiar fact that persons born
deaf are usually mute not from any
congenital defect in the organs of
speech, but from the fact that, never
having heard others speak, they can
not initiate articulate utterance. 1T is
probably true, too, that the source of
some current errors of speech among
those who are not esteemed deaf lies
in defect of hearing. Many persons
who habitually tack on the ST." sound
to words ending in ''w, "say that they
are unable to distinguish, for example,
between "law" and "lor" 1t is not
uncommon to hear this mispronuncia-
ton from the lips of New Englanders
not of DIR. Holmes Brahmintype, but
it is difficult todraw from such persons
the admission of the error.

number of bags which have never been

count, four years ago. There has been
no call for them, and they have re-

AN interesting pension. case came to
the knowledge of physician in north
ern Delaware. He amputated mans
leg some years ago because of a dis
easelcontracted by the patient shortly
before. Later, when pension legisla-
ton become more and more liberal,
the same man came to the same physi-
clan to be examined preliminary to APP
plying for a pension. The ground of
the application was to be the loss of
the missing leg IN the service of his
country. The physician, being con-
scientious man of sound memory, did
not give the desired certificate.

A Novel Enterprise,

Among the latest things devised to
lessen the labor of living and the cares
ola housekeeper is a New York corpo-
ration known as an Odd-Jeb and Tink-
ering company, limited. The general
impression seems to be that this Odd
Job company is a charming idea, and
the man who originated the scheme
deserves vote of thanks for his in
genuity. Though limited in its liabili-
ties, its scope of usefulness is not cur
tailed, but Is as limitless as human
wants may neeessitate. If Mary takes
itinto her head to visit her cousin ON
wash day and remains absent for a
week, postal card to the Odd-Job com
pany at once brings substitute, who
will perform all the multitudinous du-
ties Of the downstairs girl" with yex-
petition and dispatch. And so it goes
on through every department of the
household. The company promises to
do.almost everything in an emergency

locksmithing work, clerical work, and
miscellaneous work and other things
too numerous to mention, but all Of

QUEEN VICTORIA is said to be lover
of flowers, but her table decorations
are of the simplest. A few bowls of
roses or other simple blossoms, cut in
the beautiful gardens at Old Windsor,
and the rest of the decorations laid
upon the table in plain glass troughs,
straight and curved, and of quite
cheap and ordinary kind, constitute as
a rule the whole adornment of the
royal dinner-table, the only notable
exception being the magnificent silver
gilt punch-bowl which stands in the
state diningroom, and is crowned with
flowers on great occasions. For ordi-
nary dinner parties the queens table is
decorated with excellent taste but
great simplicity.

CHANGES in handwriting, due to
style, not to individuality ARE curious
study. UP to and through the middle

what Holmes describes as delicate,

south wind chasing it." In the last
quarter, during the 7O's, appeared the
Immensely large;and strillingly angu-
lar haad. The angular part died out,
but the size remained until the last deo-

odd and distinctive as possible. Not
women alone, but men-some men
adopt this change. ~
