An ice cave has been discovered
in Coconino county about six miles
south of Flagstaff. The entrance
to the cave is from the side of q
cliff. The cave itself is at q great
depth from the surface. Huge
icic!es suspend from the roof, and
beneath them have been formed
what may be called ice stalagmites.
These have been joined together
and form a great ice body. The
ice is formed from water which
percolates through the roof and is
as nearly pure as possible, by any
process of liberation. 1t is said
that commercial use will be made
of the ice. The cave has not yet
been fully explored. This is an

The Deadly NIohave Desert.

A party of caGtlemen out on the
Mohave desert recently came across
the trail of two men and two burros.
The aimless, zigzag course of the
trail showed that those who had
made it were lost, and the cattle
men at once set out to find them.
Here and there along the path ia
ken by the wanderers holes of from
three to Eve feet in depth had been
dug in the dry sands. Late in the
evening the cattlemen came upon
a young man lying under mesquite
bush, beside hole dug six feet in
the sand, murmuring in delirium
and at the point of death. He had
been without water more than three
days and had lain down to die. A
mile further on they overlook an
old man, who, delirious, was crawl
ing on hands and knees toward a
pool of brackish water, besides
which stood the two burros. The
burros, being released, when ha
gave up, had found their way to
water, anil the old man had follow
ed them in last despairing bnrst
of strength. The two men were
miners, who had lost their way a
week before. Both men recovered
after few days of care at the ranch.

The Creation.

From Beresus learned Baby
lonian, who wrote about the year
26O b. c., the following curious
account of creation is taken: "In
the beginning all was darkness and
water, and therein were generated
monstrons animals and men OF
strange and peculiar form. Some
OF these lat ter were menlike crea-
lures with two wings, and some
even with four. Some had one
head and two faces; others two
heads with single face between
them Sometimes single body
would have heads both of the male
and female. Besides the above
there were men with heads and
horns like goats, men with hoofs
like horses, and some with the up
per part of a man joined to the
lower part of a horse, like centaurs.
Then there were bulls with wings
and human heads, dogs with four
bodies and with fishes tails, men
and horses with dogs. heads, crea-
lures with heads and bodies like
horses, tut with claws like hons
and tails like fish. Besides these
there were other monsters showing
a mixture of the forms of other
beasts.
Moreover, there were monstrous
fish and reptiles and divers other
creatures WHICH had borrowed some.

all of which the likenesses of Which
are still preserved in the Temple Of
Belus. A woman ruled all these
monsters, and her name was OmOr-
ka, which is the SINE as the Chal-
doe Thalatth and the Greek Thai
assa. Then Belus appeared. He
split the woman in twain and of
one-half of her he made the heav-
ems and of the other half the earth,
and the monsters which she had
ruled he caused to perish. And he
split the darkness and divided the
heavens from the earth and put all
the world in order. Belus then
commanded one of the gods to cut
off his head and to mix the blood
which flowed forth with the earth
and to form mAn and beast there
from. SO man was made and was
