Lake NIichiCau'a Dirt Wave,

did you ever notice the dirt Wave?'
asked the old fisherman at the Sixty
ninth street dock the other day as he
pointed to a long black streak on the
lake, which looked like the line Of the
horizon.
"a peculiar thing is that dirt wave, y
continued the old man, examining his
hook, land for many year I've been
puzzled about it,
Upon being asked to tell something
about the dirt wave, he said:
well, that wave comes about twice
a year as regular as the season, and
never fails to reach this side of the lake
during the month of April. Where 1t
comes from I cannot exactly under
stand and how the rubbish which it
carries sticks together is mystery 10
me.
"You will notice." he continued,
chat as far as you can see in either
direction the dirt wave reaches.
The dirt wave doesn't travel as fast
as common waves, another thing | dom
understand, and it will be twenty-fOur
hours before it reaches the shore"
What is the dirt composed off,
why, just common rubbish. Sticks,
wooden boxes, old newspapers mixed
I'D with a sort of mortar of dust and
marine plants. I'll bet that wave is
100 miles long"-Chicago Democrat.

China's Floating Islands.

Floating islands are familiar to all
who have eaten the toothsome dessert
of macaroons and whipped cream, but
little is known here of the real float
ing islands that navigate the rivers in
certain parts of China. News comes
from Bangkok that lately an island of
large size disappeared near the town
of Kumpharaphi, on the Mekong. The
island was partly cultivated and con-
tanned large trees, some of them being
ten feet IN circumference. The owner
hunted for it for several days, but
found no trace Of 1t. 1t is reported
that in the month of March each year
Islands float down the Mekong and
that they disappear invariably. Where
they g. and how they are disintegrat-
d no one there seems to know.

Sileuciuc a Cum

A gun is silenced when the gunners
are disabled or driven back and the
gun or gun carriage damaged. 1t is a
common enough phenomenon for
weapons which have thus been silenced
to reopen fire after repairs have been
made, the gIlnners rallied, or a fresh
gun crew obtained. 1t is rare thing for
a gun to be so damaged by hostile fira
that it cannot be refitted and brought
into action again. Il saw says
Prince Kraft, of the German artillery.
in the battle of Gravelotte, many guns
during the cannonade lying miserably
on the ground winged that is, with a
broken wheel. But not one was with
drawn; the injured guns were always
speedily repaired with the help of the
wagons, which were near, so that at
the close Of the battle l could not tell
exactly how many pieces had been
but temporarily out of action"

Dreams of the Blind.

Blind persons dream just as fire.
quently as do normal people, but they
have only hearing dreams. In other
words, their mental eye sees nothing;
they only hear sounds. This interest
ing point came up before a scientific
society the other day and it was found
that Of two hundred blind persons who
had been questioned On the subject
those who had been born without sight
and those who had become blind before
AhcD fifth year never saw things or

band. of those whose sight was lost be-
SWEEP the fifth and seventh year,
AoKle did and some did not see in their

,~as destroyed after the seventh year

THE DOOMED ELEPHANT.
"fsest OF Beasts Seem Certain o
DETERMINATION

A-"1 keSL Oh De1StS Seem Certain al
| determination
Alfred Sharpe contributes to Black
wood a very interesting little plea fol'
the preservation Of the African ele-
phant, which is being ruthlesslv
slaughtered for it's ivory, and is now
IN danger of extinction. The reason
is not far too seek The African ma
tive throughout the continent, since
the introduction of firearms, urged on
by the high value of ivory in Euro
Pean markets, has slaughtered ele-
phants wherever he could find them,
regardless Of size or of sex, and so
long as ivory Of all description. is a
valuable article elephants will con-
unue to be indiscriminateIy killed. It
would not do, as some have suggested,
TO try to destroy the trade in ivory,
because 1t is almost the only export
Of central Africa, but
If all the powers and states hold
Ing territory in Africa would agree to
strictly prohibit the export Of tusks
under a certain weight, say fourteen
pounds Cor portions of such tusksR
agreement, all small ivory would be-
come valueless to the owners. The
African does not like to waste his
powder; he would soon cease slaUxht-
ering the small and understood ele-
phants. Not many COW tusks exceed
twelve pounds in weight, and one re-
suit of this prohibition would be that
IN the course of time, as soon as the
news had spread throughout tropical
Africa that small tusks were no longer
OF any value, neither COW elephants
nor understood beasts would be shot
Tor their ivory. 1t might be eXpedient
even to go a step further-to make ii
criminal Offense to be in possession
of tusks under fourteen pounds in
weight"
This sounds very we'll in theory, bu'
for country which cannot prevent
the destruction and probable extinc-
ton Of our rarer birds at home it is
probably in the nature of a counsel
of perfection. 1t is unfortunate that
mp to the present it has not been found
possible to catch and tame African
elephants and to make them of practt-
cal use, as is done with the Indian
species. They would probably not be
more difficult to tame, but the condi-
tions in which they live make it al
most impracticable to secure them.
They roam over vast tracts and are
go harassed by hunters that they never
remain in one locality more than a !
few hours, and a day later are, per- !
haps. twenty miles away.

Naval,

Once upon time an exceedingly bed
boy ran away to sea.
But his rise was not as rapid as he
had a right to expect, under the cir
cumstances.
When he had been six years in the
navy without becoming an admiral his
suspicious were aroused.
Possibly ny father had no Objec-
tons to my going to sea after ALL was
the thought that thrust itself upon
him.
Accordingly he wrote home. No the
old man replied that he had had no
objections, all right.
Then it's the bureaucrats keeping
me down." Kissed our hero, liyid with
rage.
