AN Experiment to Try.

An interesting experiment in magic
may be performed that will show it to
be a mistake that water will find its
level. says the Chicago Interior. Take a
glass tube and bend it in the shape of
T. Pour it half full of pure water, and
be sure that the pitcher from which
you pour it will only fill the bent tube
half full That is for effect on the OBJ
server. Now take another pitcher con-
tanning pure brine, solution of COM
mon salt, and pour it slowly into one CT
the arms of the tube. The water in the
other arm will rise an inch or two above
the level of the brine in the other. and
if you continue pouring it will run OVER,
until all the fresh water is driven out.
There now. you have an illustration
which can be used for a number Of pur-
poses!

A MOUNTAIN MYSTERY.
Arizona Residents Puzzled by = strange
Mountain Formation.

hOuht8An EOEnAtlOhs
For the last half century the Ameri
can residents of Tucson, A. T., have
been trying to solve the mystery OF
what appears to be a hole through =
mountain peak in sight of the town.
In the clear air it looks to be only q
short distance away, when in reality it
is at least 40 miles.
By the aid of a good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within
a few miles, but not near enough to
tell the exact nature of the rock forma
ton. first peep through the glass
would lead one to believe that there was
no mystery about it. The hole appears
as plain as possible, but several days
study of the spot will develop the fact
that the hole does not always look the
same
Many days when the sky is dark be.
hind the mountain the hole will appear
brilliant white, like a snowdrift, and
on days when the sky is blue it will often
look so dark as to be almost invisible.
These facts have led many to think
that it is an immense piece of mica w.
ing with its polished surface toward
the sky and rejecting the cloud forma
tions of another part of the horizon.
instead of being the light seen through
hole. Viewed with the naked eye.
the hols simply appears as white
spot, but the telescope reveals pine trees
and other details. although very indis-
tinctly.
The range of mountains in which
the strange peak can be seen is known
as the Catalinas. and numerous parties
have made the attempt to climb it, but
all have failed on account of the steer
and rugged precipices in the vicinity.

Advantages Country People Have Over
Their City Brothers.
The countryman has, if he be wise
enough to perceive it, good reason to
count himself a luclier person alto
gether than he whose work is done in
town. For the latter, says Black and
White, unless he be exceeding well off,
there are few pleasures easily obtain
able in the intervals of toll. Food and
sleep are excellent in their way, but
they are necessities, and they are usual
ly taken under such circumstances as
to have nothing of the character Of
Injuries. The countryman is luckier
than this. 1t may be that his toll is
firing and that his wage is small one,
but he labors in such a way that he al
ways gets the fullest enjoyment out of
his rest, and when he pauses to take
his midday meal it is under conditions
that would make perfect holiday for
the city. and to whose charm even the
man accustomed to them cannot grow
callous. He lies at ease among the
sheaves that he has cut, and the sun,
whose ardent rays made his toll the
heavier, now adds to his delight. More
over, he eats with the pleasantest Of
walters to see to his comfort; it may BE-
his wife who brings his dinner, or per-
haps it is some buxom girl from the
farm who is not yet his. though she
will some day be, as she knows within
| herself. and he is not afraid to believe.
Verify, his toll is hard in itself. hut he
must be singularly disconnected per-
son if he do not find it light amid these
surroundings and under these pleasant
conditions.

HELD FOR BUNCO STEERING.
Charles L.. Arrested on a
Charge Made by "a Liberty Man.

"Bunco steering is the charge placed
against Charles l.. Johnson, well known in
sporting circles, who was arrested last
evening b. Detectives Kinney and Thorn
ton. He was released on a bond signed by
Henry Stegemeier, guaranteeing his APP
pearance in Police Court this morning.
The arrest OF Johnson and the charge
against him grew out of a quiet little game
last Sunday night which occurred in
Haughville. A Jew from Liberty claims
that he met Johnson at the Bates House
and that the latter persuaded MIN 10, go
70 Haughville. The Jew says that ne lost
SIS in money and a check for 5000. The po-
lice say that Johnson took the check 20
Henry Stegemeier. who cashed 1t for him.
Stegemeier sent the check 10 the bank for
collection. but it was returned protested
and after it came a letter from the Jews
attorney. demanding the return or tie
check and the cash his client claims to
have lost.
johnson said he had never seen the Jew
until he came into the Haughville game
and knows nothing about him whatever.
When the Jew came into the HaughVllle
game Johnson says he was not playing and
did not win any money from him. An
other version of the affair Is that the jew
himself presented the check TO SteSemeier,
receiving the cash for IL.
