Queer Lake.

Barton w. Evermann, of the
United States Fish Com mission, has
just returned from a visit to Crater
Lake, in Oregon. Mr.. Evermann
left early in the spring for this
unique body of water, for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not
trout will live in it. Crater Lake
is regarded as the most wonderful
lake in the United States. 1t is sit
uated on the very summit of the
Cascade range of mountains in
Southern Oregon, and until recent
ly it has been visited by compare
lively few travellers. 1t was first
discovered by white men in 1858,
although the Indians had known of
it for ages and used to regard it
with such superstition that it was
considered certain death for one of
them to look upon it. The lake was
carefully explored and surveyed by
members of the Geological Survey.
The highest point of the Cascade
range is a broad platform, sur
amounted by numerous volcanic
bones. The largest of these cones
Uses 1000 feet above the general
Jewel of the platform and contains
fan enormous depression about six
miles in diameter, and over 5000
feet deep. This depression is oc-
cupied by Crater Lake. The lake
is over six miles long, four miles
wide, and varies from 1000 to
1000 feet deep. Its walls rise al
most perpendicularly, towering to
height of 5000 feet above the
sea. The lake is completely girdled
by these cliffs, and it is only with
the greatest difficulty that they can
be descended and the water reach
cd.
That the site of Crater Lake was
once occupied by "a large volcanic
cone, of which the present rim
around the lake is only IA small
remnant, is clearly shown by the
fact that the several canyons about
there extend clear through the
rim. One of the most remarkable
features about the lake is the color
of the water. 1t is bluer than the
deepest indigo. This intense ultra
marine blue shades into delicate
emerald and turquoise hEes as the
water grows shallower near the
shore. The lake has neither inlet |
nor outlet so far as can be ascer-
tanned, but it undo -

Diamonds made while you wait"
No one need be startled should
this sign appear in the window OF
some enterprising up-to-date deal
er. Henry Moisson, of the Institute
of France, and the Acadamie DIES
Sciences, demonstrated its practic-
ability before distinguished au-

their very eyes. 1t was done in ten
minutes.
Mr.. Moisson is forty-fve years

A Huge Spider.

Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.)
Philadelphia, Oct. 29.-If asked
to name the thing l most dreaded
when in the tropical forests and on
the Savannas, l think it would be
the centipede. Scorpions are bad
enough, some species of ants are
extremely troublesome; various mi
mute insects, like the "bete rouge"
or red bug, the chigoe or digger"
and the "garrapata" or wood tick.
are things to be avoided; but the
centipede is by far the worst of
them all. 1t has not, as its name
would indicate, a hundred feet. but
it has between thirty and forty,
each one poisonous. And, let a
centipede get on your skin, and be-
come alarmed, no power on earth
can remove it quickly enough to
prevent it from digging its venom
Gus claws into your flesh. 1t moves
with the celebrity of CREASED light
ming" and when seen running
across an open floor appears like a
brown streak.
There is one other object more
horrible TO contemplate, and that
is the tarantula, which also moves
with surprising quickness. 1t does
not glide, however, like thing of
evil. as the centipede does; bur.
'rectly at one with vicious
to be mistaken. Iremcm-

An Emperor's Granddaughter.

(Toledo Dispatch to the New York SUM-
A remarkab story was develop
ed in the Police Court here We'd
nesday. There is every reason to
believe that a woman named Pau
line Fernandzia is in reality the
granddaughter of the late Emperor
Macmillan, who was deposed and
executed in Mexico. This woman
is being tried on the charge of
keeping an immoral house, but
from the evidence it would seem
that the prosecution is simply a
part of persecution which has been
in force against her ever since
she was child. This is the second
time she has made her appearance
in the Toledo courts. The first
time she had been robbed by her
husband and that he later attempt
ed to poison her. Her second hus-
band was William NJ Diamond,
who has recently fled to parts un-
known.
In the present case Prosecutor
O'Hara learned in some manner
that the woman had contided to a
friend that she was the grand
daughter of Emperor Macmillan,
and he put the question to her this
afternoon. She showed great agi-
tation, but evaded any direct an
swer. In few minutes, however,
she answered another question in
such manner as to prove that the
Prosecutor had been rightly adj
vised. Other questions brought
out a remarkable story of attempt
ed assassination and persecution.
Born in Madrid, her father was
killed in his home by political cut
throats. She herself was stabbed
near the left eye at the same time,
and was totally blind for some
years. She was taken by her god
parents to the west coast of Africa,
and from there to Brazil. Suisse
quently she seems to have been
carried over most Of the civilized
world.
In Olympia, Wash, she married
Capt. Henry Bunker, by whom she
had six children,-three pairs of
twins. Two of these are in Cuba
and three are in Madrid. She came
to this city after having spent
some time in Cuba, about the time
her last children were born. The
advent of some Spaniards to Toledo
caused her to fly to the Sandwich
Islands, from which place she re-
turned. About that time she Sc
cured a divorce from Bunker, and
as he died soon after she married
Diamond. She is now only twenty
three years old, and was married to
her first husband at sixteen. She
says that both husbands feeced her
of large sums of money and valua-
BILE diamonds.

traordinarily large springs which
come out above the level of the
water in the lakes, and hence can
not originate from the lake itself.
The Investigations carried on by
the Fish Commission representa-
tives were sufficient to demonstrate
that the lake contains u fairly
abundant supply of fish food,
which consists chiefly of the small
crustaccans, insect larvae and one
or two species of water snails.
These are all suitable food for any
variety of trout that might be in
troduccd into the lake, and the
probabilities are that the commis-
sion will shortly make plant of
trout in this body of water. The
lake now contains no fish whatev-
or, but the water seems to be Of
such character as would make t
easy for them to live in it,. The
uniformly great depth of the water
would, however, make it difficult
for fishes to find suitable spawn
ing ground, and that, perhaps, is
one of the most serious difficulties
the Fish Commission will encoun-
ter. The temperature of the water
at the surface of the lake at noon
in the middle of August was 81
degrees. E.
The work of the Fish Commission
agents was done at the time of the
visit to the lake of the Mazamas.
The Mazamas are a society With
headquarters at Portland, Ore,
whose purpose, similar in nature to
the Alpine Club of England. is the
exploration of the mountains of
the Pacific Northwest, and the pub
fishing of information concerning
them. Each year some of the
members of this club climb high
mountain peak, determine its
height, study its various physical
features and leave upon Its summit
substantial box, IN which is
placed all the records which have
been gathered by preceding visitors
to the place. In this box is also
put a full account of the Mazamas'
investigation, which include infoH
nation as to the direction and
strength of the wind, temperature
of the air in the sun and in the
shade, and the various readings OF
the barometer. This year the an
nual outing of the Mazamas was to
Crater lake, and company OF
some 500 persons made the trip

OBITUARY.-Once more the pale
horse and his rider have swept in
to our midst and took from us Mrs.
Frantic Ellington. A vacant chair is
left that never can be filled again. AS
a helpmate she always knew her
duty, as a mother she was always
ready to advise, as a neighbor she
was always kind and affectionate,
as a Christian she was always at
her post. She was always ready to
lend a helping hand to those in
need. Mrs. Frantic Ellington was
born in Morgan Co., Jan. 2S, 1865,
and departed this life Oct. %, 1896.
She was a daughter of John Mar
tin and wife, and was married to
Jas. L. Ellington April 9th, 1885.
She united with the Christian
Church under the preaching of Ed
er j. NJ. Downing, and died in that
faith. We would say to her friends:
Weep not for her, for we can not
bring her back: but prepare to go
to her where parting is no more,
where God will wipe all tears from
our eyes. Peace to her ashes.
Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at Deaths alarms?

High temperature alone, howev-

form of carbon known to commerce
as diamond" Heat at sufficient
pressure would, he believed, and
he at last succeeded in proving it.
In order to obtain a heat suf-
ficiently great, and at the same
time measurable, he devised SIM
pie electric furnace; and there it
was before his audience.
1t consisted of two clay bricks,
one eighteen inches square on the
surface and a foot thick, with an
other above it half as thick. In the
lower brick was a hollow large

while two carbon electrodes con-

In the crucible were placed soft
iron filings, and charcoal. The fur

rent turned on. In three minutes

the little furnace were $500 de
grees hot, and folks began to think
of last July.
The clay was boiling and flaming
before their eyes. Prof. Moisson
carelessly laid his hand on the top
brick and kept it there, just to
show that the heat did not come
through.
At the end of ten minutes the
little wizard turned of the current,
lifted the cover, the under eide a
white mass of flame, and dropped
it in some water. He took out the
crucible with tongs and dropped
into cold water.
When the crucible was cold

He told lot of interesting
things about diamonds. He said
the little black speeks found in

France, "frogs" in America, which
detract from the value of the stones,
were the first proof to him that he
had got on natures track.
He said that when cooling the
crucible in molten lead the crysta
takes the shape of rectangular
| figure, but when mercury is used in
cooling the crucible the diamonds
are Octahedron. These latter, like
similar diamonds found at the
Cape fields, split when exposed to
the air--and additional proof to
Nj. Moisson that diamonds are pro-
duced by pressure. These pressures
are principally expansion power.
And diamonds will still be ex-
pensive.
