John Lloyd did not visit the Carolina
bank on the both of May. All his time
was occupied in preparing for the NOR
row.
Herbert Lathrop was at his usual sta
ton at the cashiers window until the
bank closed at four o'clock, when he
went home.
He assembled the stairs to his room,
closed and locked the door after he had
entered; then he unlocked his trunk,
and took therefrom a sheathknife. The
blade was fully six inches long, and was
sharpened fit to cut a hair in twain, even
if suspended in the air. The handle
was of bone.
He glanced along the keen edge of
the blade. "Ah, Uncle John, this night

There being no signal service in Chi

tracted drought, rely upon the gods for
relief. Recently the following procla--
nation was issued by a magistrate, in,
the hopes of procuring a shower:
"Obeying my superiors, this proclama--
ton is issued, and again we beseech the
favor of Heaven. Sheep, hogs and all
such animals must not be slaughtered,
nor must there be any barter in them.

NO BOTTOMLESS LAKES.
The Deepest Are Less Than 2,5Ou
Feet.


Feet.
The deepest body of fresh water in
America is Crater lake, Ore. Only ona
lake in the world, Lake Baikal, exceeds
it in depth, and it is only 400 feet deeper.
Until twas asserted Crater Lake
was bottOmless, but soundings have
shown its greatest depth to be 1000 feet.
1t is five miles in diameter, nearly cir
cular, and occupies the crater OF an
extinct Volcano. No fish have ever been
known to exist in Crater lake. Recently
club of mountain climbers, with head
quarters at Portland, sent to Washing
ton request that Crater lake be
stocked with trout, and the government
experts are going to find out if such
scheme is practicable. 1t is easy
enough to put trout into the water, but
the question is if there is sufficient
food in the water to nourish them after
they are there. The experts will tow
small gauze nets over the water at all
hours of the day. Animalculae will
catch in the gauze, and from it's abund-
ance or lack it can be ascertained if the
An interesting series of experiments
will also be undertaken to ascertain the
temperature of the water at various
depths. No such observations have ever
been taken of fresh water so far down.
With this end in view full equipment
of self registering thermometers and
supplementary apparatus will be taken
al nd lat n n
There are very few places in the Lake
where the depth is less than / 900 feet
and no lake on the western hemisphere
approaches this.
1t is no wonder, then, that Crater,
lake was supposed to be bottomless
However, the truth is that all lakes over
$50 feet deep possess a similar reputa-
ton. Any body of water that is deeper
than the length of the longest feeling
line is sure to lack a bottom in the
popular belief. A first-rate example Of
this sort of delusion is afforded by
Lafayette lake, in Idaho. 1t was
formerly imagined to be bottomless,
and later it's depth was officially stated
to be 1900 feet Recent investigation
proves IndCl greatest uepth IS QUO Ieel.
There is no data on which to base a
guess as to the bottom of Crater lake,
but the supposition is that it will be
very little above the freezing. The
temperature of the ocean remains at
about 40 degrees Fahrenheit all the year
round, even in the tropics. Neverthe-
less, some volcanic heat may yet remain
to warm the waters OF Crater lake.

He next seated himself at the desk

The second, mortgages and notes.
