A mail route direct between
Phoebe and Deerlodge would be sp-
preciated by the public here. Since
the mail for bota Deerlodge and
Stateline towns goes from Uvads
however, it is not likely that such a
service will be granted, but it is pro-
posed to establish daily mail between
Stateline and Uvada, running via
Deerlodge, to leave Stateline in the
morning and return in the evening.
The distance is about right for a
daily run aud it will make close con-
nections with the trains for mails
both north and south and will thus
put US in daily communication with
the new camps.

HOTTEST PLACE.
The Mercury Reaches 40 Degrees or
 the Persian Gulf.

The Mercury Reaches I4o Degrees on
 the Persian Gulf.
 Lloyd's Weekly: When we wilt, swelter and perspire under the af- fiicting temperature of our hottest summer days, We have one unfailing consolation-it is hotter somewhere else. h one region only of the ter restrial surface is such relief denied. That region is the hottest place on earth--the unhappy area in which the agonized inhabitant is overwhelmed with the fact that anywhere and every where else in the world the weather is delightfully."- cool-by comparison. All will be glad to know just where the hottest place on earth is. In times over the subject, but the authorities are now agreed on the spot I am about to name. Curiously enough, this ter ritory is not desert, not Fort Yuma, not even the Arizona plains, although poet well described them by declar- ing that the lost spirits, wandering from their internal abode, stood on the bor- NCio CI ttldt IS5lOu, Wlll Cy co DiiAuCN by the suns reflected glare, then in terror hurried back to their sulphurous lakes-to avoid the heat. No, the hot test place in the world is, with all re- spect to ocean summer resorts, on the seashore. The region of maximum temperature is an extensive area on the Persian gulf, part of the south 0E ;. includes the Bahrein or Aval islands. June, July and August are terrific, un- endurable save to the natives, and hid- eous to them. Day after day the mer- cury will mark more than 100 degrees in the shade. By day here I mean the diurnal twenty-four hours. Think of it, you who look with fearful eyes on grees at noontime Imagine the horror of striking a match at midnight and reading 10 degrees. It hardly seems possible, yet it is officially declared that this frightful heat is not exces sve-in that country. Often 40 de- grees in the shade is attained in the afternoon. The islands are a little group, named aIter the ldrSeSI-Bdn- rein. They lie between latitude 25 de- grees 30 minutes and 26 degrees 30 minutes north and longitude 50 degrees and 50 degrees 30 minutes east. Bah- rein itself is about twenty-seyen miles long and ten miles broad. The popu- lation of the group is 75.O0o. The na- tives are for the most part Arabs, gov- erned by sheikh, who pays tribute to the sultan of Oman.

Mountain of Human Bones Covered
 Over by the American Forces

Mountain of Human Bones Covered
 Over by the American Forces.
 In the Colon cemetery at Havana, where the American seamen who per ished in the Maine catastrophe are buried, in striking contrast to the rev. erence displayed by Anglo-Saxon peo- pies for the burial places of their dead, there has been for more than two cen turies human bone pit. Exposed to :he glare of the sun, the mercy of the rains, there have lain for yeas the frames of those who clce lived and loved, says the New York Herald. This famous pit was first dug by Don Dedro Valdes, in the year 1902, and f7 Tt day to this has been the re-
 -ee for the skeletons of the Gu
 ad It is 110 feet square and JWe Y feet deep filled to the twenty fees level An eight-foot stone wall ine.oses it from the morbidly curious, and in external appearance it resem- bles an antiquated Spanish fortress or barracks. The old Spanish custom of renting graves, none being able to buy outright, in Colon cemetery, easily ex- plains the necessary existence Of the "pia.' A man dies, isNburied in a rented grave, forgotten in short tine, the rent unpaid one year-his bonss are dug and thrown among his ances- tors in the mass of dead humanity; the grave, being already open, is held to receive the next body. A careful es- innate, no record having been kept. puts the number of human skeletons in the pit at 100000 When one realizes that the pit is nearly 300 years old, and the average life of man is a little less than thirty years, Havanas popula- tion for the last 100 years being more than 100000, 1t is quite plausible that the estimate is most conservative. In some cases the coffin and all have been dumped into the ''pit" and left to the depredations of the vulture or buzzard, the seavengers of Havana. Skulls with long hair still on are not infrequent sights, and in one case a skull still held fast switch" Midnight rambles over the heads of these departed have been one of the pastimes of the mor- bidly inclined in Havana. The Amer jean government, ever to the fore in the ways Of civilization, has at last filled over the ghastly "bone pit" and the days of Luncheon on skElls" ara past. 4, ,As.s sa

The Stature ef Rulers.

Tn point of stature the rulers of to- day compare very favorably with their predecessors. Christian l., King of Denmark, was feet high. The pres ent Danish king, Christian IX., barely reaches feet II inches, and his son. King George of Greece, is 4 inches shorter. The same physical decline seems to mark the czars of Russia. Peter the Great was giant of feet 10 inches. The czar of today barely reaches feet inches. The late Ger man emperor, William l., was feet high, and his brother, Princes Charles, was but an inch shorter. The present kaiser cannot stretch himself beyond 5 feet inches. The king of the Bel gians, with feet inches of stature, Is the tallest of living monarchs; and Queen Victoria, with feet 10 inches, 2 inches less even than the present Chi nese emperor, is the shortest, as she is the best.

HIS GRAVE NEGLECTED.
The Resting Place of Charles Dickens Is
 Virtually Unmarked.

The Resting Place of Charles Dickens Is
 Virtually Unmarked.
 From the London Mail: The sugges tion has been made that a monument to Charles Dickens should be erected in one of the public places of this city. It is not at all likely that the proposal, however warmly it might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of perpetuation would be in direct op- position to the expressed wish of the novelist, who desired by his work alone to live in the heart of his countrymen. The will of Charles Dickens, from which the following lines are taken, very clearly expressed the masters wishes: T conjure my friends, on no account, to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial, whatever I rest my claims to the re- membranee of my country upon my published works and to the remem- brance of my friends upon their ex- perience of me in addition thereto" To this wish the members of the fami- ly have always given the strongest adherence and have already discoun- tenanced and will continue to discour- age any attempt to set the provision of the will at naught. Some years ago Edwin Elwell, gifted American sculp- tor, completed in marble full-leEgth portrait figure of the novelist, with Little Nell looking upward to the face of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family, who, out of respect to the wishes of the novelist, refused to countenance the movement, the offer was declined. In these cir cumstances it is hardly probable that any memorial, at least of public char acter, will be attempted.

Remarkable Loss of Memory.

A remarkable case of loss of mem- ory occurred in London, England, re- gently. It appears that an old genS tleman, well dressed and apparently we'll to do, was found by the police wandering in Moorfelds. He was taken to the nearest police station, but, be- ing unable to give any satisfactory ac- count of himself, he was conveyed to Guys hospital. There it was found that he was suffering from loss of memory, and despite every device adopted nothing could be gleaned as to his identity. Upon his clothes be- ing searched an address, Spring Bank, Hull," was found upon him, and as the result of telegram dispatched by the police to that address it was ascer- tained that the old gentleman was MT. George Patehett, who lived at the ad- dress given. He had been missed from Hull for some days, but how and when he got to London neither his friends nor MT. Patchett could say.

 Remarkable Village.

In New Guinea the village of Tu- puselei is most remarkable. The houses are all supported on piles and stand out in the ocean a considerable dis tance from shore This is to protect the villagers from the attacks of the dreaded head hunters, always looking out for victims. Other villages in this queer land are perched up in trees for the same reason

x PARIS EXPOSITION NOVELTY
Ehe Imitation Voyage Which May bs
 Taken on the Grounds.

Possibly the most striking of the many novelties which will be offered to the visitors at the coming Paris ex- position will be the "Mareorama. as it is called. This is a great mock ocean steamer. It is arranged pre- cisely like one of the transatlantic ves- sells, has crew and captain, and even the motion of ship speeding through i the waves. It does not move from the spot on which it is erected, but to those on board the illusion promises to be perfect. The passengers are sup posed to be on a journey from Mar seilles to Constantinople, and as the last bell sounds .sall ashore" the harbor of Marseilles seems to recede from the vision, the vessel passes out to sea, and all of the scenery of the coast passes in view. This is done by large number of paintings which unroll in panorama fashion, and are so re- alistic that the observers, if not over critical. may really imagine that they are taking the sail. The vessel rocks and throbs as if it were really on the ocean, and this is brought about by the machinery which gives the vessel the required motion. Meals are served and if you are not careful you will find your soup in your lap. Genuine sea- sickness will be the portion of all pre- disposed to that ailment, and it will be almost as if the actual voyage were taken, except that it will last but short time. The coast of Algiers, Tunis, and much of the Mediterranean sea will pass before the eyes of the passengers, and at last, the Golden Horn, the port of Constantinople will be entered. The painting of the pan orama has been entrusted to Hugo d Alexis, a graphic artist who has de- picted the scenes in all their natural beauty. It will be a cheap and speedy method of making the journey, not to mention the novelty of experiencing all of the pleasures and some of the qualms of long sea voyage, without the least danger of shipwreck

Frauds in the Mails.

The Kansas City Star tells of a Kan sas girl who sent $1 to a New York specialist for "sure cure for freck- les" This is the recipe which she re- ceived: Remove the freckles care fully with a pocketknife; soak them over night in salt water; then hang up in the smokehouse in a good, strong smoke made of sawdust and slippery elm bark for a week. Freckles thus treated never fail to be thoroughly cured"
