A man with a grip entered downtown

SO long about his search that one of the
clerks got to watching him, and not with
out results. The man was apparently look
ing through the business indices at the
back of the book, and whenever he came
to a page he fancied he cut it out with a
deft movement, barely detachable. The
clerk called the proprietor, and between
them they saw him cut no less than five
pages from the book.
Then the proprietor beckoned to a po-
Hceman just outside the window and vert
up to his customer.
Got through with the book?" he asked.
Eyes, quite was the reply. Much
obliged. Is there any charger"
Yes; the usual charge" said the drug
store man. Eight dollars, please"
The man looked at the proprietor, took

duced his wad and settled.

Mysterious Bodies of Water Found
Far Up in the CordiIleras.

From the Boston Journal.
From Crucero Alto, the highest town in
the world, the Southern railroad of Peru
drops into the Lagunillas, or lake region of
the Cordilleras, where, Il, $50 feet above the
sea, is a group of large lakes of very cold
pure water without inlet or outlet. They
receive the drainage of the surrounding
hills and conceal it somewhere, but there
is no visible means of its escape A fringe
of the ice forms around the edges of the
lakes every night the year round, yet they
contain an excellent variety of fish called
the pejerray, which is caught near the
shore and sold at Puma and in other neigh
boring towns. The two largest lakes, Sara
chocha and Cachpascana, with several
smaller ones in the same neighborhood,
are owned by the family of Mr. Romania
Of Arequipa, who has just been elected
president of Peru. He owns immense tracts
of land in this locality, with thousands of
sheep, cattle, lamas, alpacas and vicunas,
which are herded upon it.
A curious phenomena about the lakes is
that they keep at the same level all the
time, regardless of dry and rainy seasons
No amount of rain will make any difference
with their depth, which, however, in the
center IS unknown. And this adds to the
awe and mystery with which they are re-
garded by the Indians. There are no boats
upon the lakes except few small balsas, or
RATS, made of bundles of straw, which
keep very close to the shore for fear of be-
ing drawn into the whirlpoois that are said
to exist in the center.
There is some foundation for this fear.
for only two or three years ago a balsa
containing five men disappeared in the
darkness and was never heard of again.
OF course it may have tipped over and its
occupants have been paraiyzed by the cold
water in an ordinary way, but their bodies
were never discovered nor did the balsa
ever float to shore. Therefore the people
think the whole party was lured into a
maelstrom and swallowed up by the mys-
FERROUS waters.
The whirlpool near the center of Lake
Popo, which receives the waters Of Lake
Titicaca, is well known, and hundreds of
men have lost their lives by venturing too
near it. Boats that are drawn into the
current are whirled swiftly around a few
times and then disappear. For the protec-
ton of navigators the government of b.
livia has anchored lot of buoys in Lake
Popo and boatmen who observe them are in
no danger. There Is supposed to oe an
underground outflow from all OF these
lakes. 1t is claimed that articles which
have been thrown into their waters have
afterward been picked up on the seacoast
near Africa and careful observers say that
on the beach in that locality are frequently
found cornstalks, reeds and other debris
which do not grow on the coast but are
found in great abundance among the inter-
Tor lakes.
