an odd-looking character. White hair de-
noted extreme age and his step was some
what unsteady, but his figure was upright

drawn, there was a rugged look on his
face and his eyes were lustrous. Across
the travellers shoulders were strapped two
large canvas packages which hung in
front; a large water canteen hung by.

ingham, a shoemaker by trade, and he Is
now nearly 81 years old. He came from
FL Paso to Beaumont and walked every
foot of the way, carrying water and pro-

serted country along the Mexican border
From Mr.. buckingham no details of his

made the trip in easy stages, arriving at

of the fact but in walking from Ell Paso

Warm weather and peculiar atmos-
pherlc conditions the last few days have
produced marvellous effect over the wa
ters of the Pacific in this vicinity, says a
San Diego (Cal.) dispatch June 81 ia the
St Louis Globe-Democrat The Coronado
Islands, away out In the ocean, have APP.
peared in all sorts of fantastic shapes and
impossible positions. At one time they
are clearly distinguished and well defined
but with onehalf above the other half.
Again, the small islands swell to twice
their normal size. few moments later
and sharp-ponted pinnacles stretch up
ward from the water, apd surrounding
them are their exact duplicates, but in
verted with poihts downward. AT times
the islands dance and move about in the
mirage, constantly changing in size and
shape. Yesterday Corpus Christi the
largest of the group, presented an odd and
beautiful sight. The northern half was APP
parenty the same as always, bold and
rugged, WI. the flashing surf bathing its
feet. The south half was nowhere TO be
seen. In its place was an indetinable va
cancy. Above it was a cloud, the perfect
image of . monstrous mainsail of some
ghostly ship. The cloud sweled out as II
fun of wind, giving the appearance of a
ship sailing hiSh above the seas. Glasses
were brought to bear upon the phenome-
non, but they failed to pierce the veil of
cloud. This morning, just before a snow
white cloud bank rolled in across the
leagues of blue, Corpus Christi jumped out
of the ocean and stood It's own hight above
it suspended In the air. If the observer
turned away a moment and looked again
perhaps he would see no island at all The
big island would take fits of vanishing en-
tirely from sight, with not a trace behind
and nothing Intervening in the way of
cloud or mist The smaller isles and islets
meanwhile changed shape. swelled or
shrunk or leaped out of the sea.
