QUEER LAKE SALAWlk.
Its Water. Grow Warm in Winter and
Men Can Fiah TheHe with Cluhs.

Men Can Fish There with Clubs.
The rich placers Of Klondike are not
the only curiosity of the country trav-
ersed by the Yukon. Not far from Daw-
son there is in Alaska a really extraor-
dinary lake which was named Salawik
by its discoverer. Rev. p. Tosi, mis-
sionary among the savages.
This lake. which is 90 miles long and
about Is miles wide. is perhaps the
only one in all that extreme northern
region which does not freeze over dur
ing the winter. No communication has
been discovered between it and the
sea, nevertheless, at high water upon
the coasts of the northern ocean, the
level of the lake rises, and it falls again
at low tide.
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point OF making Salawik
a salt lake; on the contrary, its waters
are good TO drink. But another of its
peculiarities is that it's temperature
rises in winter and falls in summer.
When all the water courses of the neigh
boring country are completely frozen
over, Lake Salawik becomes so warm
that it is really pleasant TO battle in it.
On the other hand, in the summer time
the water is extremely cold.
This peculiarity makes it in the win
ter time Mecca of fishermen. The
abundance of fish in the lake is so great
that person can almost catch them
with the hand. and ca n kill large quanti-
ties with club. Here for the miners
is source of food supply which GER
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost of living. especially during the win
ter, in that inhospitable region. In
an hour a man can get enough fish to
supply himself for a month, and of the
very best quality. including salmon,
ranging from 20 to so pounds in weight.
1t will not be astonishing if some fine
day we may see upon the shores of Lake
Salawik one of those fashionable hotels
which are the glory of American water
ing places.-Republique, of Lewiston,

hirth and Humor the Leading Char
acteristic Of an American
Crowd.

predominant characteristic Of an
American crowd Is its mirth and good
humor. 1t may become vociferous and
threatening on occasions, or it may be
moved to sympathetic tears through
come incident OF misery and sorrow. but
the next moment let something ludi
crous, something amusing happen and
the lighter chords OF humor and mirth
are touched and the lines OF anger or
sadness on the faces OF the crowd at
once give way to lines OF gayety.
This happy trait was made manifest
on a prominent street corner in Besss-
mer few mornings ago. A lame man
with very sad countensnce had hard
time mounting his bicycle and fell in
the endsavor, striking a corner OF plat
form and severely injuring his side.
Tho expression OF the crowd standing
near was one of pity.
After recovering from the fall and be
ing assisted by willing hands TO mount
his wheel, the man started off slowly
and with the uncertainty OF a swallows
flight. The cause OF thus WIS an ill
shaped mud puddle not two rods in
front OF him and it WAS evident the man
was hesita,ing which side OF it to take,
either side being rocky, in the mean
time moving along about as graz. ply
as a duck skating on ice. Every basr.
Immediately took in the situation and
and every eye was rivstsd on the wig
Cling wheel.
The expression OF the crowd was one
Of joyous anticipation.
The cyclist made up his mind-he
would turn to the loft as the lesser Of the
two evils, and, balancing on the brink OF
the mud hole for an instant while it was
confidently expected he would tumble
off. he made sudden effort and seemed
to miss the edge by gnats heel, and
slowly pedded safely away.
The expression Of the crowd was
plainly one of disappointment and sill
ence reigned.
Had he been SO unfortunate as to
have tumblsd OF and rolled over in the
slush there would have been aguffaw OF
Of the men and tittering of the ladies,
and then at the same moment would
swift hands come to his aid and all
would pity him. AS it was good op-
portunity was presented for studying
the impulses of crowd, and they are
practically the same all over the land.
The whole sympathy was with the
lame man on the bicycle, but then they
wanted him to fall into the mud hole.

SUBSTITUTES FOR PRAYING.
Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among the
Calmuck Tartars.

Finally IL you spend most of your time,
as did, among the natives on the hurri-
cane deck. your attention will be attracted
by third class Of worshipers-namcly,
the Calmuck Tartars who live in felt
tents or kibitkas kee beet kas) along the
lower NOlga and who wander, with great
herds of cattle and camels. over the steppes
OF eastern Europe and western Asia. These
fiat faced, i'll looking nomads are all Bud
dhists, and not only do they pray, but they
may fairly claim the credit of having re-
duced devotion To science.
Praying five times "a day, as the Moham-
mcdans do or even twice n day, after the
custom Of the Gre worshipcrs seems To
have been too severe a tax upon the cncr-
ges of the original Buddhists and they
set their ingenuity at work To devise some
means OF lessening the labor The first ex
pedient that occurred TO them was teach
ing parrots TO pray and then claiming the
credit of the prayers thus said by proxy.
This answered the purpose very well mt
first But teaching parrots was trouble
some, and besides that, the parrots in
spite OF all precautions would occasionally
pick up scraps of profane learning, which
they intcrmingled with their dcvotions in
manner not at all edifying. SO the
Budohists finally abandoned the instruc-
ton Of parrots and calling in the aid of
applied science invented the prayer wheel.
Nobody, IL seems 10 me- but the LATEST
Of Aslatics would ever have thought of in
Producing labor saving machinery into the
realm Of the spiritual. But the Buddhists
not only thought Of IL, but put the idea
promptly into execution. The prayer
wheel used by the Calmuck Tartars on
the lower Volga is n small wooden cylin-
der q or 3 inches in length and about 2
inches in diameter, turning upon YER
tical axis, tho lower end OF which Il cx-
tended and thickened To- form handle.

literature and literary possibilities pause.
Compare the situation Of this empire with
that Of England in the time of the Tudor
sovereigns. The likeness is noteworthy.
All the influences of civilization from west
and east are focused, so to speak, upon
political and social organism which is not
only wonderfully receptive, but which also
displays the capacity of reaction in its own
original elements. Looking back AT the
history of genius and seeing how largely il
belongs To the people as distinguished
from what may somewhat irreyerently bo
called the bloodcd stock OF nation, one
feels like inquiring how deeply into tho
substrate of human life in Japan the alien
influences have penetrated When these
reach the depths where folk tradition turks
and the popular imagination slumbers,
then the world may well look for n reac-
tion in which the nation will show all that
il is capable of i'm literature.
Meanwhile observe, by way of presage,
that two Of the most striking literary phe
nomena of the present day are Rudyard
Kiplny with his oycrlay of Hindooism on
English human nature, and Lafcadio
Iicarn with his varied experience, patient
ly inquistiye about everything japanese.
Finally, whether the successor Of Dante
and Goethe rises from Asia or from the
west, all the light Of the past shows that
he will speak not the thoughts of n nation,
but of worldwide culture; that he will at
last unite the divided thought of human.
