OREGoN'S GREAT LAKE,
Phenomena of Crater Lake have Puz-
zled Scientific Men,

Many of the marvellous things in ma
ture in this country of which very
little has been known until quite re-
Gently, is the body Of water known as
Crater lake, This is the deepest
known body Of fresh water in the
world and in most respects it Is the
most wonderful.
Crater lake is located in Southern
Oregon on the Summit of the Cascade
range of mountains, and until recently
1t has been visited by very few travel
ere. Though it had long been known
by the Indians, it was first seen by
white men in 1853. Ten years ago
this body of water was carefully ex-
plored and surveyed by members of
the United States geographical survey.
The lake takes its name from the fact
that it occupies what was once an i'm
mense volcano crater, but which has
been extinct for long time, perhaps
thousands of years. This sheet Of
water is entirely surrounded by pre-.
cipitous rocks, which tower above the
lake, and whose submits are fully
eight thousand feet above the level of
the sea, The lake is six miles long and
four miles wide, and ranges in depth
from l,600 to 1000 feet. 1t is only
with the greatest difficulty that the
lake can be descended and the water
reached.
The United States fish commission
has late been engaged in an investiga-
tion of this lake, the object being ia
determine whether or not trout can
exist in its waters. The commission
has arrived at a favorable conclusion,
the greatest trouble being that the I'M.
mense depth of the water may make il
impossible for the fish to find spawn
ing places. Nevertheless the lake will
be stocked with trout, as it is found tc
contain an abundant supply of fish
foods. Fish ought to flourish there
and the probable sole reason why they
have not, lies in the fact that they
have never been planted in these
waters.-Ex.

to criticise, as it shows wonderful dis

golden rule, "Do others or they'll do
you" Now you say William Fronk
was elected vice president of the Lit

fact in either case How does it come,

AS you insist on this being "contest

to copy without giving credit or with

me by calling the Tennessee choir

of Tennessee's most learned and re-
spected ladies, something gentleman
would not do. As to contradictions,
Mr.. Slayer, advise you to go back to

teaspoonful of brains. Mr.. Slayer,
advise you to take an excursion to the
"planet Mars, and leave this vicinity
soon. | am quite willing to let the
public judge between you and myself
as to my prose being rotten. We hope
you will compose the next poem you
write, as the one you decomposed was
more punky than you represented the
choir to be. No, you will not have to
carry your brains around in a cocoa
nut; it would be inconvenient, as YOU
would have to lose too much time
! hunting tor them when needed. We
would suggest your mammals thimble
as n more suitable vessel, in which, by
the assistance of Edison's X-Rays in

be able to detect particles of brain mat
ter if you had plenty of time, For
rascality and hlsifymg, you are tho
capsheaf of all Tennessee fact in

will agree with me, If you had the
least spark of manhood or principle
about you, and were anything but a
coward, you would come to me pri-
