THE LOWEST EVER KNOWN.

Driving Carriages Along the Bed of Lake
 Ontario Where steamboats Used to Run.
 IFrom the Rochester Democrat and Chroni-
 cle.l
 Lake Ontario IS now without doubt at the lowest ebb ever known. It was very low in the spring, and has contin- ued falling week by week ever since. This is owing to three causes, the principal being the continued drought in the basin of the great lakes and trib- utaries since May, 1S49. The second cause is the denudation of forests, all lowing water to run off quickly. An other cause is the lowering of the chan nel of the St. Lawrence river in recent years. The beach at many points pre- sents a curious and sometimes heauti- ful appearance, showing the action ot the water in the past and giving the shore peculiar appearance
 Probably there Is no better place than Troutburg for making compari- sons. Out at West Point the water has receded nearly a quarter of a mile Here the beach is thickly strewn with fine building stone, awaiting some en- terprising quarryman. In front of the Pleasant View House there is little pier at which anglers usually fish; now there is not 8 drop of water within many feet of 1t. In front of the Onta- rio House there is pier, besides which steamboat sank a few years ago dur ing a storm. Now only few feet of the outer end of the pier is standing Tn about two feet of water. Fourteen years ago the late ex-Sherim Campbell of Rochester purchased the Bush House property and built a pier far out into the lake. Subsequent storms car rled it all away, excepting one big crib which the ice showed off below the sur face, and 1t is usually submerged; now 1t looms up about five feet above the water. A half-mile east, at the Devils Nose, which Is the highest headland on the southern shore, there Is chain oi rocks and conglomerates extending fai out in the lake. Usually they are sub. merged, but now pedestrians pass all over and around them, dry shod. A few years ago Landlord Stour, while fishing off this point, had his anchor caught among these rocks and had tc abandon It. A few days ago his little son Lyell, while wandering among the rocks, discovered it in a few inches oi water and secured 1t.
 A few days ago Misses Austin. Emma Bates and Matte Elliott of Morton drove with & horse and carriage along the beach from the Spring Brook marsh west to Troutburg, distance oi two miles, passing along the base oi the Devils Nose, right where small usually go. At one point while passing this cliff they were apparently baked by a chain of huge boulders whicf were too close together for their car.

The Washington Star says that the Treasury department is doing it's best to meet the demand, and for the last two months the mint at Philadelphia has kept three presses constantly in operation for the exclu- slve coinage of one cent pieces, The daily output has been 15O,OOO pieces of the value of $1,5Oo, The government apparently derives a profit of $1,2OO a day on It's coinage, Its seigniorage be- ing at the rate of nearly 80 per cent. of the face value of the coins This profit disappears, of course, when the coins are redeemed. It is estimated that there are 7SO,OO0OOo one cent pieces outstanding.

The Men Folks Were Absent. .

About mld-afternoon I came along to a cabin perched on the side of the mountain, and at the door tall, raw boned woman was cutting firewood. l asked for drink of water, gave her some fresh tobacco for her pipe, and after some general conversation, l in auired if she was a widow.
 Law sakes no!' she laughed in re- ply. I've got an old man and five strappin' big sons"
 I excused myself for asking the ques- tion by saying I had seen no men folk about, and she said:
 This happens to be busy day with 'em, The old man has gone over to see William Day. We reckon that William told the revenue officers about our still. an if my ole man finds out fur shore that he did, then he's goin' to shute William plum-centerv'

Their trip is a feat never performed be- fore by a feminine, and they are justly elated. A few years ago it was accom- plished by Ed Gavin, the veteran blacksmith of Shay's Corners, and a companion, but their temerity nearly cost them the lives of themselves and horses, all of them escaping only by their ability as swimmers.

Two suitable Outdoor Sports.

Those women who are given to dress ing over-elaborately can be detected more readily on the street than in doors, because highly wrought effects are so poorly suited to street wear
 While tailor-made dresses have much to recommend them for outdoor use, there Is no need of anyones being con fined to them, for comparatively simple costumes that are ornate and wholly suitable for the promenade are plenti- ful, The prettiest of street gowns are still made simply of rough surface cloth, combining many colors in a warm cashmere effect.

Four black foxes from Alaska were burned loose on Heron island, in Booth bay harbor, Maine, a few days ago an an attempt to propagate these anil mals there for their valuable fur. The species is rare and the fur commands "a high price. The four are all that reached their destination of a band of fifteen that were shipped from Alas ka in September. Ten died on the voyage down to San Francisco, and one other died before Chicago was reached. The four that survived were an good condition when turned loose on Heron island. If the attempt to breed these animals is successful at that place, other Maine islands will be stocked with the species.

A remarkable story of the support of life by the administration of enormous quantities of oxygen is told by the San Francisco Examiner The subject was MT. Reichling, millionaire who lived near the city of San Francisco. He was attacked by pneumonia, and when near ly unconscious expressed so urgent a desire to see his son, who was at a dis tance, that his physician decided to help him live as long as possible with oxygen. There was no hope of his re- covery, and his lungs were nearly filled. The oxygen worked so well that on the fourth day the patient was still liv- ing and the pneumonia was yielding. The next day he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, and died a week from the time he had first been given up. His physician believes that he would have recovered but for the aDoplexy.

Ever since August there has been a heavy demand on the United States treasury for one cent pieces. The de- mand, which comes from all parts of -he country, is attributed to the grow ing custom in various retail houses in marking down prices from round figures to odd figures. The especially heavy call for pennies within the last few weeks from Chicago and St. Louis is explained by the theory that one cent pieces are wanted for the purchase of

RUSSIAN WAR GOING.
Natives are Playing the Game With
Impunity.


Within the past few days small
knots OF natives have been seen
around the city front at different
places. There are about four or five
in each crowd. They seemed to be
intent on playing some kind OF
game. Yesterday, after a good deal
OF trouble, the police was informed
that the natives were engaged in
gambling game known as the "Rus-
sian War" 1t was almost impossi-
BILE to play the game uptown aud
they decided to go to the wharf and
move about the city front. Yester-
day the game was played near the
Fishmarket, and to day it was run
ming in full blast among the lumber
piles near the Oceanic wharf. The
police have been unable TO get near
enough to seize the gamesters, as
the natives have spies stationed, who
give the alarm il q stranger or po-
liceman approaches.

That leaning cocoanut tree on
Waikiki road, which was much raved
at in the press, for its threatening to
fall and break the "cocoanut" OF
some hapless passenger, did fall
about two weeks ago, and this is the
first newspaper mention OF the oc-
currence. II carried away a few
telephone wires and obstructed part
OF the road, but the protruding head
OF the tree was cut of and it is now
as dead for mischief as the Nowlein

of Detection.
A very peculiar case came to
light the other day. Detective Lar
sen asked officer Patterson to jump
into his rig and take ride. The
officer consented and the two drove
to Punchbowl. Larsen stopped at
a house and went in and asked II
any money had been stolen from
that place recently. The owner an
swered that they had missed no
money. Larsen went out and pass
cd on to third house, ignoring the
second building. Natives occupied
this house. They said they had lost
none. The detective returned to
the second house, which was found
to be owned by a florist named
Silva, Portuguese. Silva was ask
ed il he missed any money and he
gave the same reply as the others.
Larsen walked out and was about to
leave when Silva ran out crying,
eyes, yes, l lose moneep The de-
tective returned and asked him how
much he had lost. Silva answered
about $40 in gold. Larsen asked
him il he had lost any silver, and
Silva answered no. After awhile,
however, Silva said, "Wait, go see."
He returned in moment with an
old earthen teapot. He had made
second discovery. A lot Of silver
dollars and small pieces which he
had put in the pot had been taken.
The detective had strong suspi-
cions and pretty clear evidence as to
who had robbed the Portuguese,
but next day he was discharged from
office.
