QUEER LAKE sALAwlK.
Its Waters Grow Warm in Winter and
Men Can Fish There with Clubs.

The rich placers of Klondlke are not
the only curiosity of the country tray
ersed by the Yukon. Not far from
Dawson there Is in Alaska a really X
traordinary lake which was named
Salawik by Its %discoverer, the Rev. =.
Tosi, a missionary among the savages.
This lake, which is ninety miles long.
and about fifteen miles wide, Is per-
haps the only one In all that extreme
northern region which does not freeze
over during the winter. No communi-
cation has been discovered between 1t
and the sea. nevertheless, at high water
upon the coasts of the northern ocean,
the level of the lake rises, and 1t 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 its temperature
rises In winter and falls In summer.
When all the water courses of the
neighboring country are completely
frozen over, Lake Salawlk becomes so
warm that 1t Is really pleasant to battle
in II. On the other hand, in the SUBJ
mer time the water is extremely cold.
The popularity makes IL In the win
ter time a Mecca Of fishermen. The
abundance of fish In the lake Is so great
that a person al almost catch them
with the hand, and can kill large guam
titles with a club. Here for the miners
is a source of food supply which Ger
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost Of living. especially during he
winter, in that inhospltable region. In
an hour a man can get enough fish 10
supply himself for a month, and of the
very best quality. including salmon,
ranging from 20 to 80 pounds in weight.
1t will not be astonishing II some fine
day we may see upon the shores OF
Lake Salawlk one of those fashionable
hotels which are the glory of American
watering plaoes.-Republique, Lewis.

THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER.
It Was Established In China In the Eighth
Cenfurx.

Century.
The oldest newspaper in the world Is
the Using Pao, or Picking News, founded
in the year 7l0 A. D. Until quite late
ly it was generally supposed that the
Kin Pan, a Chinese journal published
in Picking for the last thousand years.
was the Oldest newspaper in the world.
In a very able work recently published,
however, Imbault Huart, the French
consul at Canton, shows that this high
honor belongs to the Tsing.Pao, which
has been published continuously since
the year 7l0 and is even said to have
been founded ONE 200 years before
that date, or early in the sixth century,
500 years before a newspaper was known
in Europe.
The Tsing-Pao now appears as a book
Of "a pages, octave size, tied in a vel
low cover by two knots of rice paper.
Each page has seven columns, and each
column has seven characters, or letters,
which read from top to bottom. The
types are made of willow wood. This
is the edition de luxe officially recog.
nized by the emperor, and the price Of
which is about "a cents a month. There
is also q popular edition, got up rough
ly on poor paper and printed, or rather
daubed, from a plate of engraved wax.
This costs l6 cents per month and ii
issued an hour before the other.
1t is the official journal of the gov.
ernment-the "Times'' of China. Il
gives all the details concerning the per
son of the emperor, his movements, hi
maladies, his remedies, the Imperial
DEGREES and the reports of the ministers,

The Latest Submarine Boat.

Eating a meal cooked twenty feet I'M
der water is n sensation not enjoyed
every day. An invention perfected by
Simon Lake of Baltimore has. however,
rendered that and even more possible,
saws the Free Press of London, Ontario.
1t Is a steel boat that will crawl about
on the bottom of IA river or the sea like
an alligator In the mud. 1t rolls along
on the ground on corrugated iron
wheels. one feature worth noting in
respect TO this submarine boat is that
1t Is designed for the arts of peace rath-
er than of war. When a steamer Is sunk
with her cargo this submarine boat will
descend alongside the wreck and gath
er therefrom her freight and other val
uables, and then silently appear on the
surface onee more. The submarine YES
sci Is Twenty-Five feet long and nine
feet wide. When IL is to be sunk GER
tain steel compartments are filled with
water. As these fill. the vessel sinks
beneath the waves till she strikes bot
tom. not hurrledly, but gently and grad
ually. The crew number six. They
receive air through a tube which rises
from the boat 10 the surface and floats
open-ended upon the water. A tank of
compressed air supplies ventilation 10
the forward compartments. from which
n diver leaves the submarine boat 10 ex-
plore wrecks. A Flagstaff above the
surface of the water shows the where
abouts of the craft beneath. The COM
partments are emptied of water and
filled with air To raise the boat.

Notable Examples OF Forgetfuluess That
Are Supposed to BE True
The first man to start a school for the
training of memory was q Greek, ST.
monides, who read one of his poetic
compositions TO a large audience and so
fascinated them that when he bowed
and Withdrew from the building they
sat s%pellbound. The Roof caved in and
killed them all, mangling them so that
the bodies were unacceptable, but ST.
monides came to the rescue of the de-
spairing relatives and said be could re-
member where each person in the audi
ence sat aud who he was. As there was
no one to dispute his decisions his iden.
LITIGATION was satisfactory, and he profit
ed by the enthusiasm to start a memory
school.
A youlg woman of no education fell
i'll in q small German town. She could
neither read nor write, yet she rayed in
Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and the sim
pie villagers thought she was possessed
of the devil. Investigation proved that
at the age of 8 she had been taken by a
charitable old Protestant pastor. 1t was
his custom for years to walk up and
down a passage of the house into which
the kitchen opened and read to himself
in a loud voice out of his books. These
books were ransacked by the physician
in charge of the curious case aud who
had made inquiries into the sick girls
past life, and in them were found the
identical Greek and Latin passages
which the girl in her delirium had re-
peated.
There is an authentic case of a bril-
liant young woman, happily married,
who had a long illness, the result of
which was that when she recovered she
had lost every recollection of her life
from the day of her marriage, inclusive
of the ceremony. The rest Of her life up
to hat point she remembered clearly.
At first she pushed her husband and her
child from her in alarm, but her par
ents and friends have convinced her she
is married and has a son. She believes
their word Of necessity. though she has
never recovered her memory of that one
year which is lost to her .-Exchange.

One of the most celebrated of court
fools was Tarleton, Queen Elizabeth's
head Jester. lie was n man Of rare wit.
and beside being a Jester was player
TO the queen. lie had great fame as
an actor. and appeared principally in
rhyming compositions and Jigs compos-
ed by himself, which he danced and
sang. We would call him a comedian;
1t Is said that his fun lay more In the
telling than In the words, and that lbs
mere appearance on the stage with his
squlnt would send the people into
shouts of laughter. The court testers
life was a very pleasant one, on the
whole. That he must make merry at
his sovereign's bidding, be he gay or
sad, was the only flow in 1t. As he was
a man of talent, and often of education,
he was his royal masters companion;
he was the recipient of frequent gifts,
and though of humble birth, he could
speak to the king as not even the son
of n hundred earls dared. 1t is said
that Tarleton told Queen Elizabeth
more of her faults than did most of her
chaplains.
