DECAY OF THE SNUFF HABIT.

oldest, with a quayer in his voice.
Charity the kind that vaunteth

'Wherc might that have tcen, pard-

POOL OF INK PHENOMENON,
Situated in Southern California ia q
DcSoIatc Snot.


Without doubt the most remarkable
body OF water in the word lies in the
vicinity of the Colorado river, in south
ern California. In this rcgicn Of ug,y
volcanoes, dCso,ate wastes and, shiny
sWamps says the ST. Louis Pust-Dis-
patch, the strargcst phenomenon Of
all is what the naturalsts call "lake CT
ink No other description fits so wei,
The strange black fluid that forms the
lake bears no resemblance to water. IT
must some day have been q cake Of
fire." and even now it TALES excellent
ly with the familiar descriptions of the
infcrra! regions. Thick and viscous
and foul-smclling, it seems altogether
unfit that it should deface the surface
Of the earth.
The pool of ink is situated about half
a mile from a volcano, 1t is about an
acre in area. The surface is coated
with gray ashes from the volcanoes to
!hc thickness OF about six inches, thus
coAcea,irg its rea, nature. A traveller
~ot prepared to avoid its treachcrous
depths might easily walk into it. FX-
"crimert has proved that the b,acl,
lluid of the lake is not Poisonous. II
acts as a dye, and cotton goods soaked
in it keep their color fer months, ever
when exposed to Tie sun. They also
acquire a Stiffness similar to that pro-
duccd by weak starch. The fluid has
been 0aalyzCd, but its component rartS
have not been made known.

OF n Venerable Wont-
I'm Now Living in Texas.

Mrs. Julia Clark, ~ years old, of Dal-
las, Tex, is survivor of the hordcs Of
men and women who flocked to Caliior-
MIA in 1919 when gold was discovered
in that country. With her husband. JO-
seph Clark, VINO died six years ago, she
lived for If years in the various mining
camps on the sunset slope" in the
search for the yellow metal. In de-
scribing her experiences, reports the
Chicago Chronicle, Mrs. Clark says that
she was the only woman in a party
which left New Orleans in the month
of July of tLat memorable year, Two
male relations were with the party,
however. She says:
"My husband made the trip to Califor-
MIA by sea, going round the Horn. That
trip was considered too dangerous and
inconvcnicnt for women to take, and |
was left at home to accompany party
that would start a few weeks later.
The most severe part Of the trip was
crossing Panama. Our party arrived
earlier than did my husbands. We went
from San Francisco overland into the
mining region, somewhere near where
Folsom is now located. We remained
there and in number of mining camps
for three years. My husband and my
self, after leaving the mines, lived at
Sacramento, San Francisco and other
places for II years and then returned
to Kentucky. We had probably as much
as $20,C0o. Ny husband invested in nu-
mcrous business ventures and lost prac-
tically all he had before we moved to
Texas. I am poor now, but contentedgn
my old age with my relatives"
Mrs. Clark is ending the last years
Of her life with the family Of her
nephew, Edward c. Smith, business
| man of Dallas.

accepted by careful observers. Cramp

40 means the only one. Syncopc, or
1ainting, for instance is a.aWcrabic

and their heart simply fails to CoIac up

SILVER MEN TO COMBINE.
Smelling and Refining Companies of
United states and Mexico in
Pool

Representatives Of several big silver
smelling and refining works of the
United States and Mexico will meet in
New York during this week to folm, il
possible, a combination selling agency to
control the prlce OF silver futures.
Strange to say the price of silver for
future delivery il always less than the
price of cash silver, and the smeters
want to eqnallze prices.
1t is said that the smelters hope by
their combination to stitfen the price Of
silver and evidently to reduce the out
put, though they deny the report that
hey intend to try TO form silver trust.
They declare that such independent ac-
ton upon the part of American smelters
would be imI0tent, as London makes
the price of silver, and the United States
furnishes only 495000,000 ounces year.
iy Of the entire l67752,2Gl ounces pro
duced by the mines Of the world
Ii is said that the silver men who will
meet in New York vi con lrol about co.
U00,000 ounces.
Among the works to be represented at
the coming conference are the Iuterna-
tional Metal Company Of New York, the
Omaha and Grant Smelling Company
# Omaha, the Great National Mexican
Smelling Company Of Monterey, Mex
leo, the Philadelphia Smelling aud Re,
timing Company Of Pueblo, Cal, and the
Guggenheimer Smelling Company of
Perth Amboy.

NEW REAL ESTATE LAW.
An Important Measure Which Will AZ.
feet All Deals.

feet All Deals.
Albany, Aug. 31.-An important law
which takes effect tomorrow will Sc
riously affect all real estate deals. 1t is
a new lien law and is intended to do
away with abuses which have been in
cident to many real estate deals hith-
erto. 1t is not believed that it will
stand in the way of any genuine trans
action between bona fide vender and
purchaser of real estate.
Such people are willing to comply
with the provisions of the law. 1t may
interfere with the plans of the ire
sponsible dealers. whose business Is
chiefly in the air. The last section is an
attempt to make building transactions
more equitable than they now are. 1t
aims to insure the contractor who has
furnished labor or material to the man
who buys lots with a building loan from
losing his just compensation. The new
section reads:
A contract for the sale of land with
building loan and any modification
thereof must be in writing and within
10 days after its execution be filed in the
office of the clerk of the county in which
any part of the land is situated. If not
so filed, the interest of each party to
such contract in the real property af-
fected thereby is subject to the lien and
claim of a person who shall thereafter
file notice of a lien under this chap
ter.
A modification of such contract shall
not affect or impair the right or inter-
est of a person who previous to the
filing of such modification had furnish
ed or contracted to furnish material or
had performed or contracted to per-
form labor for the improvement of the
real property, but such right or inter-
est shall be determined by the origi-
nal contract

INJURED BY A COLLISION.
Arrival In Port of a Schooner Supposed
to Have Been Lost.

to Have Been Lost.
Philadelphia Aug. 31.-Badly shatter-
ed and with loss of flying jibboom and
bowsprit and otherwise damaged the
well known three masted schooner Kate
B. Ogden, Captain Wilbert, bound from
Newport News, Va, to Fall River,
Mass, with a cargo of oil, was towed
into this port for repairs by the tug
Ivanhoe, which picked her up at sea IN
3 helpless condition.
The Ogden sailed from Newport News
on Aug. 23 and on the night of the Z4tn'
shortly after 10 o'clock, was in COLLISION
with the huge British steamship Morse
King, Captain Saunders, which was
skirting the coast down on her way
from Antwerp, via Boston, to Baltimore
The collision occurred off Hog island,
and as the Ogden, whose identity was
not known at the time, disappeared II
was believed by those on board the Brit
ish craft that she had gone down with
all on board. All Captain Wilbert knows
is that he was run into by an unknown
steamship, and he was very retlcent
concerning the accident when question:
ed. 1t was a narrow escape.
Captain Saunders of the Morse King
has made a report of the accident, IN
which he claims that all the blame ID
attached to those in charge OF the
schooner, whose course. he says, was
changed contrary to all navigation laws,
which are emphatic in their meaning
that all sailing vessels must hold their
course and allow steamers to clear

leg was cut off below the knee, her skull
was stove in. and she was otherwise Sc
verely injured. 1t was the opinion OF

Rumors of Activity In Copper Valley.
Acting Postmaster General Shellen-

sly engaged going over the details of the
new route from Dyea to Dawson City
made by agreement between this coun-
try and Canada and perfecting the ar
rangements for the exchange scheme on
the part Of the United States.
Reports have reached here that per-
sons acquainted with the Alaskan gold
situation generally believe that the Cop
per River valley will be the scene of
great activity very soon.
This news comes in a personal way
from postal authorities who have had
an opportunity to inquire into that mat
ter. 1t is based not only on the report
ed productiveness of the valley, but
largely on the proscriptive measures the
Canadian government is reported to be
about to establish, taking every alter
nate claim and demanding per cent
Of the other profits. 1t 10 felt, accord
ing to these reports, that the estab-
lishment of this policy would drive the
prospectors across the line into our ter
ritory and so develop the fields within
