WHAT A DREAM DID.

Some sixty years ago Joseph Ever
est came into the Warsaw valley from
Hume and bought a farm three miles
from that village One morning he re-
lated a dream that he had the night
before, and which he had dreamed for
three nights in succession, in which ne
had seen vast treasure on his farm
in the earth below. He was so moved
by the vision that, having selected a
spot, he removed the earth TO the rock
and with isnprovdsed tools began drill
ing with a spring pole. After going
down some eighty or hundred feet
and finding nothing, he gave Mp the
search, but still persisted in his belief
of hidden treasure below up TO his
death, which occurred many years
thereafter.
His nephew, H. 7. Everest OF the
Vacuum Oil company of Rochester,
some years ago, remembering his
uncle's dream, which was household
word In the family, sunk we'll for oil
in that spot. but found twenty foot
deposit Of salt instead OF gold, thereby
fully realizing the dream of his uncle
Joseph OF a hidden treasure Some
two years thereafter a small set OF salt
works were built and from this small
beginning sprang the immense salt
plants and the large output OF salt in
Warsaw valley which has revolution
lied the salt business of the world. -

CAMELS HARBOR HATRED.
Will Wait Until an Opportunity Ar
rives for Revenge.

The Arab who has angered a camel
will throw his clothes upon the
ground, and the Infatuated beast, after
stamping on them and tearing them
asunder with his teeth, goes on his
way, and the driver is thereafter quite
safe, as it seems to be an axiom with
the camel that no man shall be put in
peril OF life twice for one offense.
The camel is stupid, save when
angry, and then seems to become al
most preteInatural in carrying out its
vengeful designs. Palgrave relates
the following story of camels re-
yenSe, which serves to illustrate this
point. "A lad of IA had conducted a
large camel laden with wood from one
village to another at half hours
distance. AS the animal loitered or
turned out OF the way its conductor
struck it repeatedly, and harder than
1t seemed to have thought he had a
right to do. But, not finding the oc-
casion favorable for taking immediate
quits, it 'boue its time That time
was not long in coming. A few days
later the same lad had to reconduct
the beast. but unladen, to his own
village When they We're about half
way on the road and at some dis
lance from any habitaton, the camel
suddenly stopped, looked deliberately
round in every direction to assure it
self that no one was in sight, and,
finding the road clear of passers-by
made step forward, seized the un-
lucky boys head in its monstrous
mouth, and, lifting him up in the air,
flung him down again on the earth
with the upper part of his skull com.
pletely torn off. Having thus salts
fed his revenge the brute quietly re-
sumed It's pace toward the village as
though nothing were the matter, till
some men, who had observed the
whole, though unfortunately at too
great distance to be able TO afford
timely help, came up and killed it,

De medium for the conduction of
electricity-a medium in fact of great

a less height which Tesla proposes to
use III MS methods of transmitting
power hundreds of miles through the
air without wires. We live under a
blanket OF air which protects us from
the extreme cold of outer space. This
low temperature becomes evident
fourteen or fifteen thousand feet above
the surface of the earth, and would. as
have said, reach a point far below
zero at height OF ten miles At this
height we should no observe the
tWinhling OF the stars; for this scin-
tlilatlonis due to the movements OF
our atmosphere, which at the height
nave mentioned would be extremely
rarehed If one could photograph the
suns spectrum at this altitude we
could greatly extend our knowledge of
the shortest wave-lengths of light:
for the atmosphere completely alb
serbs such wavelengths as are CON
eerned in the X-ray phenomena. That
this absorption really takes place, can
be proved in laboratory, The heat
and light which We receive from the
sun are thus greatly modified by this
blanketing layer of air The long
waves of the energy from the sun are
called heat-waves and we receive these
in full measure. The very short
waves, however, are stopped by our at
mosphere, and are transformed into

No one can reach the limit OF the up

he carries with him air to breathe and

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
passed the bill providing for the ad-
1ustment of the swamp land grant to
the state of Wisconsin, for which the
badger congressional delegation has
been working for a couple of years
This measure puts an end to the long
standing controversy between the
state and the United States, quiets the
titles to great many farms and
homes, and eliminates the troubles
constantly growing out Of the cases in
which the state has the legal title and
the Indian has the permanent right of
occupancy, which has led to controyer-
sizes over timber and other values.
Mr.. Mcl.aurln (dem., Miss.) ad-
dressed the senate In support of the
Vest resolution, declaring the policy of
expansion to be unconstitutional
After speeches by Messrs. Sullivan
dem, Miss.) and Pasco dem, fla
on the Nicaragua canal bill, the Indian
appropriation bill was called UP and
debated at length. During the course
OF the debate a resolution was intro
