Several Pleasure Boats Drawn Into it
and Sank.
Prof. E. S. Cofey, OF San Diego,
Cal, has received letter from Lake
Chapala, State of Jalisco, Mexico,
which says that a few days ago resi-
dents of one of the small settlements
near the western end of Lake Chapala,
we're terrified to see q gigantic whlrl-
pool raging far out in the water. The
water rose in great serpentine move
ments and from all directions rushed
towards a common centre, where a vast
cavity seemed to. exist AT the same
time heavy rumbling was heard, APP
parently, in the bowels of the earth.
The Whirlpool was caused by the sud
den sinking of large portion OF the
lakes bottom. The disturbance con-
tinued for twenty minutes, and before
it subsidized it is said that several pleas
ure boats we're drawn into the whlri-
pool and disappeared with their occu-
pants. 1t is estimated that a score OF
lives were lost.

Contrasting Careers.

Recorded occasionally is the death Of
a man who benefited his fellow-men
with peculiarly reward, having given
to the world the results of experiments
that enabled science and art to pro
gress. rapidly. B. ]. Sayee died re-
Gently in Liverpool, leaving nothing for
the support of his family. He was a
worker in a photographers establish
ment, and he is credited with the dis
coyery of the dry-plate process Of mod
ern photography.
The career of a manufacturer OF
marking ink in London is striking
contrast. John Bond kept the secret
of manufacture, and made a fortune.
His widow, who carried on the bust
ness for many years, has closed the
factory, and allowed the secret to re-
main undisclosed. For more than a
year the doors of the Office were kept
open each day during business hours,
but not bottle of ink was sold, and
customers were told that Ink could not
be purchased.

Cheese as an Heirloom.

In theregions ofSwitzerland, where
cheese is staple product, itserves one
curious purpose. A custom prevails
for the friends OF bride and bride
groom to join in the presentation to
them on their wedding day of an
elaborate cheese, to be used as fam
lily register. Cheese. therefore, takes
the place in this country of wedding
cake and the family Bible, upon which
births, deaths and marriages are duly
recorded. Some of these old cheeses
date back to 1000, and at an agricul-
tural show held in Gessenay, in 1892,
one was exhibited whose age was near
ly two centuries. The cheese had been
an heirloom in family residing in the
Canton of Vaud, after which it became
the property of its present possessor,
who resides in the Canton of Berne.

Dun's Trade Review.

r. G. Dun & Co. 8 weekly review of
trade says: The new year begins with
so much uncertainty that business is
somewhat retarded. The proposed
sale of bonds offers ground for conf
dence in the future, but no one is able
to. determine what its earliest effects
may be in the money market, and tor
the time it is a cause of hesitation
rather than hopefulness. Speculation
in prospect has not been active. Cot
ton is unchanged, although the receipts
for the week have not been large, but
some Stacking appears in the foreign
market. Wheat is, about lc higher
and corn the same, without distinct
reason in either case, for the govern
ment report tardily conforming to
commercial estimates of some months
ago, did not command general conf
dence. Wheat receipts at Western
points were almost double last years,
q 500, 702 against ], 305, 704 last year.
but Atlantic exports we're little larger
than last year, while Atlantic exports
are about four times as large.
Prices for Alabama iron renew COM
petition with eastern furnaces.
Sales of wool are larger, $500, 300
pounds for the week, against 5, 236, 715
last year, although laage part of the
purchase is of speculative character,
based upon belief that prices may be
advanced if the new tariff bill goes in
to effect. The opening of wooden
goods show further tendency toward
lower prices, in spite of the prevalent
belief that higher prices would be
realized before leng if the revenue bill
which passed the. house should become
law.
The Gotten mills are generally run
ming, though not all with full force,
and some are piling up goods without
regard to the immediate demand, which
is comparatively slack, as they appar-
emily believe that the short supply of
cotton this year will ensure them pro-
fits in the end, as it has during the
past half year. Nevertheless goods
have decidedly weakened in price,
quite o number of changes having been
recorded during the past week. Fail
ures for the week have been All in the

Men of Stone

Among the natural wonders Of the
Southwestern States of America, says
the Pendleton East Oregonian, are
the Superstitious Mountains. which
loom up from the arid desert to the
east OF the Salt River Valley. These
mountains are so curious that as long
as Arizona has been settled, the In
dams would have nothing to do with
them. In consequence they are full
Of deer, ibex, bear and other big
game. The Superstitious Mountains
rise out of the level surface of the des-
ert like the pyramids of Egypt.
On the crest of this unique range,
and in full view of the rarefed at
mosphere for an immense distance
from the plain, are hundress OF
queer figures, representing mel al
all attitudes. When you look hrst you
are sure they are men, and whom yea
turn your gaze again to them you are
as absolutely certain of il as you can
be Of anything.
They represent ball throwers, out
looks, mere viewers of the country
roundabout, men recumbent and con-
template, others starting on q foot
race, and in every conceivable posture
end position. They are not real flesh
and blood men, however nothing but
stone sienite-yet, nothing can cou-
vince the Indians and some white men
that they are not genuine. They say
they are real mortals turned to stone,
petrifed by the peculiar condition of
the air on the mountains.
The belief has grown out of an
Apache legend handed down for hum
dreds oil years. They have it that an
ancient chief, who had learned of the
curious character of the Superstitious
Mountains, forbade any of his people
to 60 there. A large band, however,
one day discovered a way to get in by
a precipitous route, and finally
reached the top. It resulted as ths
chief had said-they never got down
alive.
