Above the Clouds

Airships have not yet been invented.
yet It Is possible to sail for day and
night in fairly comfortable steam
boat at a height of over two miles
above the sea. The water on which
you accomplish this remarkable feat
is Lake Titicaca. which lies between
Peru and Bolivia. II Is huge lake.
12O miles long and nearly sixty wide
and is over 1000 feet deep. 1t is away
up In the mountains. above the clouds.
Nine rivers flow into II. besides vast
amount of snow water. yet 1t has no
visible outlet. The 600-ton steamers
which sail on Lake Titicaca were built
in Scotland, carried over the passes In
sections and put together on the spot.
The fuel is Australian coal. brought
from 1000 miles away, In the lake
are many beautiful Islands and the
cliffs which line the shore, are mag
niilcently rugged. In no place can a
ship anchor. The water, even sixty
feet from shore. is hundreds of feet
deep. The native boats on Lake II
ticaca have straw sails,-Philadelphia

A telephone company in an Iowa

ihe lncmen had bad time searching
up and down the wires for the trouble.
At length. they found a spot where a
heavy lead cable had received a shot
from 22-caliber rife. The bullet
had twisted and cut the wires and
worked several varieties of damage.
The injured section OF the cable had
to be cut out and spliced. Later on
other bullet marks of the same char
acter were discovered. IL was evil

OF making target OF the wires. and
as each shot cost the company about

line was little anxious as to who

nent resident OF the town was caught
proving around an alley with n small
rifle, shooting at birds on the wires
and In as much as one OF the cables
near his home was ruined by the
shooting. 1t is assumed that the boy
is responsible for the induction that
has been bewildering and exasperating

The town has determined to put In
force a local ordinance which makes
