q recognized form of military devotion

one knight would make his confession

STRANGE LAKES IN PERU.

Instead of Surface Outlets They Have
Maelstroms that Swallow Boats.
From Crucero Alto, the highest town
Peru drops down into the Lagunillas,
or lake region of the Cordilleras, where,
14,250 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 1t somewhere, but there
is no visible means of it's escape. A
fringe of 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 neighboring towns. The
two largest lakes, Saracocha and
Cachipascana, with several smaller
ones in the same neighborhood, are
owned by the family of Mr. Romano of
Arequipa, who has just been elected
President of Peru. He owns immense
tracts of land in this locality, with
thousands of sheep, cattle, llamas,
alpacas and vicunas, which are herd
ed upon 1t.
A curious phenomenon about the
lakes is that they keep at the same
level all the time, regardless of the 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 a few
small balsas, or RATS, made Of bundles
of straw, which keep very close to the
shore, for fear of being drawn into
whirlpools 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 disap-
peared in the darkness, and was never
heard of again. OF course, 1t may
have tipped over and its occupants
have been paralyzed by the cold water
In an ordinary way. But their bodies
never were discovered. nor did the
balsa ever float to shore. Therefore the
people think the whole party was lured
into a maelstrOm and swallowed I'D
by the mysterious waters.
The whirlpool near the center of
Lake Popo which receives the waters
of Lake Titicaca, Is we'll 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 protection of uayi-
gators the government of Bolivia has
anchored lot of buoys in Lake Popo,

A little group had been spinning

him as tine captain of one Of the big
tramp steamers which ply between
Philadelphia and foreign ports, and a
place In the circle was at once made
for him.

The captain thought a moment and

~ said. I'VE had On board as q cook
q big colored fellow, whose principal
companion was little yellow cur dog.
One day while the cook was preparing
some beef for dinner he let the heavy
cleaver with which he was doing the
chopping slip from his grasp.
'It fell to the floor with thud, and
the cook emitted howl of anguish
that was heard all over the ship. The
cleaver had struck one of his bare feet
and sliced the big toe Off as neatly as
o surgeon could have done 1t. Here
was chance for the yellow dog, and
he seized it. Making a dive for the
severed toe. he swallowed it in ono
gulp and then made bee line for tho
deck.
"This was more than the cook, Graz
ed with pain, could stand and he hurl-
ed the cleaver at the dog. His aim
proved true. and his curship passed out
of existence then and there. At this
juncture the ships doctor came up to
nud out what all the row was about.
When he learned the truth, he laughed.
"I'll fix that for you,' he exclaimed
to the cook, wait till l get my instru-
ment case
''Within five minutes he had held a
post mortem on the dog and recovered
the lost toe Washing it with antisep-
tics, he skillfully stitched it back in
place again. and the cook hobbled back
to his quarters minus his dog. but with
as many toes as he had ever had
