LAKE ON THE MOUNTAIN.
Biz. DrummOnd Thinks He Has Found
Where Its WATERS Come
From.

On the north side of Lake Ontario,
southwest of the Canadian city of
Kingston, is a lake situated on
height of land one side of which
forms a cliff. 1t is just south of the
arm of Lake Ontario known as Quinte
bay and it stands $50 feet above the
bay. There is no opportunity for sur
face waters to flow into this little
lake and no one has the slightest idea
whence it derives it's waters, which
are clear and fresh. The lake is about
one and a half miles long with a
width of about three-quarters Of
mile.
Mr.. A. 7. Drummond recently wrote
a letter to Nature in which he said he
believed he had solved the mystery of
the invisible inflow which cannot pos
sibly be attributed to springs from
any higher ground in the neighbor-
hood. In his opinion the source of
the lake is to be found in the Trenton
limestone area some % or 80 miles to
the northeast. There is a steady rise
in these rocks to the north and their
dip Is favorable to sending the water
that sinks through the soil to them
southwark to the region of Lake On
tario. Fifty miles away the rocks
have height of 400 feet above the
lake.
In order to ascertain the bearing
of these rocks upon the origin of the
inflow Mr.. Drummond last summer
made series of soundings in the lit
tie lake. The larger part of the lake
is shallow, but along it's southern
edge he found a great rent in the bot
tom nearly mile long and a third
of mile wide. In this rent the
depths varied from rs to 100 feet. He
says the rent is probably due TO a
wide fault or breakage in the Tren-
ton limestone and he believes that the
same forces that gave rise to this
fault may account for a subterranean
connection with the higher ground
many miles to the north through
which the water finds it's way into
the little lake that overlooks On
tario. Mr.. Drummond's theory is the
most plausible that has yet been sug-
,gested to account for the source from
which this mysterious lake receives
It's waters.-N. Y. Sun.

Beware OF 0intments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury

AS mercury will surely destroy the senes
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is tenfold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. HALLS Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be
sure you get the genuine. 1t is taken

HEROISM OF THE BOERS.
feated But Never Con-
Quered-

There Is one feature about the great
Boer war which must be kept steadily
In view, and that is the heroism, the
fortitude and the influence of the wom-
en-. The instincts of maternity and
the devotion of the wives to their hus-
bands are relegated to a second place
when the country is endangered. A
Boer woman seldom concerns herself
with politics; but during a period of
supreme national Importance, like the
present crisis, her voice is paramount
in urging her husband, her son, or
her brother to forget all else, and do
his duty to his fatherland-
It is necessary here to dwell upon
the fact that the Beers are not war
like people. Their dislike of military
exercises and reviews during times of
peace, their reluctance to go out on
commando In order to punish q re-
calcitrant chief, have been cited by
uitlander experts as proof that the
Beers have degenerated and would
never face q conflict with Great Brit
ain, while the partial disappearance of
game from the high veldt has justi-
fed the assumption on their part that
the hands of the Beers had lost their
cunning with the rifle Another strong
factor In the depreciation Of The Beers
Is that the uitlanders were grouped to-
gether IN one spot, where they see little
OF nothing Of the Beers, who are
sprasely scattered over the whole coun-
try. The uitlander, living in q town
of about 10000 inhabi tants, became I'M
duly impressed with his own impor-
tance, and regarded the Boer power
as O ridiculous myth. They entirely
ignored the lessons Of past history, viz,
that the Beers are capable of marvellous
heroism, endurance and initiative when
their feelings have been outraged by
the massacre Of women and children,
as In tn case of Dingaan. or when their
freedom, independence and fatherland
are menaced, as in the present strug
gle. The British colonial secretary has
announced In his callous and pitiless
wry that the fight Is to be fought out
TO the death and has foreshadowed
what the fate Of the republics is TO be.
More bloodshed! More Carnagel End
less sufferingl A price is to be paid
which will stagger humanity! VIII
not British statesmen even realize
that the Transvaal and Free State
Dutch may be defeated, but that they
will never be oonquered9-Colliers

The business of hairdressing was
pushed to ridiculous excess by the
late duke OF Kent, particularly while
governor of Gibraltar. The first per-
son who boarded every ship coming
into hatbor was his royal highness'
hairdresser, and no officer was allowed
to land until he had submitted his head
to be operated on by this functionary.
