NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-More than six

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

Boston has 30 public outdoor bathing
places.
Recently ship of only $500 tons car
ried from Para, Brazil, to New York,
cargo of rubber, which was insured for
$4,000, 900.
Ex-Secretary Whitney's famous sta
bles at Wheatley are 500 feet in length.
The foundation is of brick and the up
per structure of pine.
There is nearly $13,00O,oOO in the
United States treasury, the proceeds
of sales of cotton which fell into the
federal hands during the civil war.
This money belongs to the owners Of
the cotton or their heirs, if they can
prove their claims.
Men exposed to the rigors of the
Alaskan winter never wear mustaches.
They wear full boards to protect the
throat and face, but keep the upper lip
clean shaven. The moisture from the
breath congeals so quickly that a mus
tache becomes imbedded in a solid
cake of ice and the face is frozen in a
short time.
The famous Blue grotto of Capri has
now a rival in the state of Minnesota.
1t occurs in lake on the shore of which
there is cavern of white limestone
flooded with water. A swimmer enters
the cave and, turning to look outward,
sees the most beautiful shades of green
and blue in the water and a silvery
sheen over his submerged limbs.
