Abbott B. Clark

A large audience packed Odd Fellows
hall last night to listen to the services in
memory of the late VIM. z. Judge, the
great Theosophist.
Abbott B. Clark spoke as follows: tSome
men are so great it lakes the world ages to
know them. Such men come at the be-
ginning, middle and end of great cycles
and are called saviors or teachers of the
world. Yet each but rekindle the old ideas.
Nine. Blavats ky and VIM. Q. Judge have
done such service for the coming race.
Three great ideas which Mr.. Judge re-
stated are: First, the cause or enterprise
OF sublime perfection and human brother
hood; all efforts by mystic, Mason, Theos-
ophist or initiate are for the convocation
In the minds and hearts of men of the
order of sublime perfection. Second, the
evolution and perfection of the soul; the
raising of every atom of the universe up to
the stature, nature and dignity of con-
scious godhood. Third, the Illustration,
proof and high result of the other two is
that the perfected soul is mahatma,
the highest product of human evolution,
the greatest of ideals and facts.
Theosophists will never worship or IDEAL

Judge . monument that shall reach to the

SALOON IN TWO COUNTRIES.
Ingenious Arrangement for the Thirsty
on tho Mexican Border.

Ingenious Arrangements for the Thirsty
on the Mexican Border.
There is an ingenious saloonloeeper
who conducts a place in little village
on the border between this country and
Mexico. says the Louisville Commercial.
The village is half in California and
half in Lower California. There sre
two bars in his saloon, one ON the south
and one ON the north side of a large
room. The dividing line between the
two countries bisects the house, and
one bar is located in Mexico and the
other is located in the United States.
The proprietor pays big license to both
countries, but still makes a handsome
living out of the business. He has
suspended all the way across the street
in front unique sign. On the United
States side it reads, in letters q foot
high: "Your first and last chance"
On the other side, in Spanish, it exc
presses the same idea.
The saloon Is known by that nanc
for miles around, and many an eastern
tourist who has guenched his thirst
there will remember it 1t is a great
resort for "cow punchers" Of both ma
tions who work In that territory.
Hence many is the bloody fight That
takes place there, and few are the ones
brought to justice whose crimes are
committed there.

A NEW RECORD.
Deepest Spot in tho Ocean Nearly Six

Deepest Spot I'm tho Ocean Nearly Six
Miles
For20years or more the deepest spot in
the ocean has been supposed TO be to the
northeast of Japan, says the New York
Journal. There the bottom lies 4.655
fathoms down, or more than five miles
beneath the surface of the waves
In the latest photographers report Of
admiralty surveys, made by the British
government, this ocean record, which
has stood so long, is beaten, for there is
official information of deeper sound
ing than has hitherto been made. The
deepest spot in the ocean, so far as
known at present, has been found to be
in the neighborhood of the Friendly and
Kermadee islands. in the Southern Pa
cific. Here the maximum depth is
5,155 fathoms. or close upon six miles.
The observation, made by the officers
on board the British ship Penguin. is all
the more interesting for the fact that it
bears out the result of previous re-
searches. showing curiously enough as
it does that the deepest parts of the sea
are not far from land.
Deep-sea sounding has come of late
years an exact science in itself. One GU
rious feature of it, and one which is lit
tie known, is that the leads" used have
to be constructed with especial strength
in order to withstand the enormous
pressure Of the mass of water which
bears down upon them when they lie
upon the bottom. So great is this pres
sure that the sounding apparatus in
ordinary use would be crushed.

The Red Sea Miracle Often Seen in Linh

II u q well-known fact that at cer-

stream a mile and a quarter long. which
connects the great water systems above
and below this point. becomes almost
dry, says the Klamath Fails Express.
This state of affairs, however, lasts, as
"a rule, but q few hours, during which
time people have been known to walk
ncIcss the river, 800 feet wide, without
getting their feet wet. The bottom of
the river has been dug out Ia many
places by the action of the water. FORM
ing large potholes, and when the river
becomes dry these holes are filed with
trout, which are left stranded. AZ such
times it is a common occurrence to see
men and boys knocking the fish on the
bead with clubs, and in this way secure
many a good meal.
There are many traditions regarding
this phenomenon among the indians
here, but the real cause Of the low wa
ter IN the river II the action of the wind.
The course Of the stream Is southeast
and the high winds which prevail IN
the spring and fall are from the south.
and blow up the river. The outlet from
the upper lake being small. the force OF
the wind keeps the water back in the
big lake. causing the river TO become
