A BOGUS GHOST IN PARIS
How He Tricked a Merchant Into Gixfns
 Him Money.

M. Cordier, a retired merchant Of Paris much given to consulting spirits in emergencies, has been tricked in a rather amusing manner by an amateur ghost, who resided in rooms contigu- ous to those ot the ex-business man. says the London Telegraph The lat Fer lately told friends and acquaint- dnces that he had melancholy mes- sage fran spiritland to the effect that nis son, who traded in Tonuutn, had been murdered by pirates. The dis honest neighbor, hearing this, knocked one night at Nj. Cardier'g wall. and an- h6uneed that he was spirit who wanted money for masses to be said in certain church for the repose Of the soul of the retired merchants son. A sum Of 160 francs was required, and the phantom asked M. Cordier to be good enough to put it under the first chair on the left side Virgins altar in the church of Saint Sulpice. It ap- pears that M. Cordier deposited sev- sral donations for the ghost under the chair, and the money was regularly taken away. In the meantime, the son supposed to be dead came home from Tonquin unharmed and unhurt. The young man had. in fact, no adven- ture with pirates, and was engaged in very. prosaic business me tters during his stay in the far east The son laid a trap one night for the gSost, who was invited by Cordier senior to walk Into his flat in the dark. No sooner had the spirit entered the room than he received blow on the head from a big stick brandished by the traveller from Tonquin. The guilty phantom fled, but was pursued down the stairs and into the street by father and son. The spirit r-oved to be a very sub- stantial ad enturer, who was recog- nized by the police as a person much wanted for acts of swindling of d. Yersiffed and in some instances of very ingenious sort.

SEA JON
Capsized Boat and Gave Tas Fishos.
 men an Exciting Experience.

San Rafael Gal. Spec. San Frag. cisco Bulletin: John Bartini and Joe Lafranky, two Italian fishermen, came very lear meeting their deaths the other morning off McNear's Point in San Pablo Bay. Bartini and Lafranky had their nets set for the purpose of catching founders, and when the tiGa started to turn they proceeded to pull in, when they noticed that the nets were harder to handle than usual. They thought they had an unusual large catch of founders, but when they had f19lly 40 fathoms of net pulled into the boat large sea lion was noticed splashing the water at furious rate. Bartini called to Lafranky to get an oar and hit him, but just as he had said the words the sea lion stuck his head out of the water and, seeing the boat and is occupants, made a lunge, eapslzing the craft Bartini, who is u good swimmer, immediately jumped for his partner and, seizing him by the arm, dragged him tt the boat and fin. ally managed to get him on the bottom. When the boat capsized the anchor fell overheard and the craft was made fast. The sea lion continued splashing the water at terrific rate. and the Ital fans were badly frightened. They called for help. but their cries were O no avail, as their voices could not bs heard q hundred yards, the wind blow 1ng terrific gale. Finally. after they had been in the water for fully three hours, a schooner was sighted coming from the Patent brick yard, and the crew lowered a small boat and went to the rescue of the Italians. who were almost exhausted from fright and cold After about an hour the boat was righted, the Hon being killed with a shotgun from the schooner. It proved 70 be large one, weighing fully 1000 bounds. The lion was probably follow ing a shoal of herring up the bay and ran foul of the Italians net and sue eeeded in getting tangled up in 1t. The net is complete wreck. This Is the second time that a sea lion has been so caught in San Pablo Bay and almos. at the cost of life.

WOnDEtsr 0L LAKE
z'iled With Boiling Acids That Eat
 Boats to Pieces.


 4 strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island, off New zeaIand. It is 50 acres in extent, about 12 feet in depth and 15 feet above the level of the sea. The most remarkable char aeteristie Of this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro ehloric and sulphurie acids, hissing and bubbling at temperature of 11G degrees Fanfenheit The dark green. eolored water looks particularly unin' yiting. Dense clouds of su1phGrie fumes constantly roll off ehis boiling ealdron, and care has to be exercised in ap- preaching this lake to avoid the risk ot suffocation. On the opposite sioe ot the lake may be seen the tremendous blowholes, which, when in full blast present an awe-inspiring sight The roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth Into the air is deafening, and often huge powders and stones are hurled out to height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of na- kdre. A boat can t>a launched on the lake, and, if proper care be observed the very edges of the blow-holes may be safely explored. Some idea of tha strength of the acid-saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that boat almost dropped tc pieces after all the passengers had beer landed, as the rivets had corroded un Ger the influence of the acids.

rive Farms NoW Carried on III Ch0
 United States.
 There are now five ostrich farms in the United States---two in California, one in Texas, one in Florida, and ons in Arizona The last named, although the youngest. is the largest and most hourishing in the country It is To- rated near Phoenix. and the Salt river valley seems ssll adapted to the Af- rican ostrich. No protection whatever is required for the birds during tho winter, They graze the entire year in the fields, the same as horses and cat tie, and are healthy and thrifty, The man in charge of the Arizona farm, who spent 15 years handling ostriches ill South Africa, says the birds do just as well in the Salt River valley as in Africa, and that the climatic and other conditions surrounding 5shem here seem as we'll adapted to their requirements IS those existing in their native home After the birds attain the age of tour weeks there is little danger Of tzeif dying from natural causes for many years lt is not positively known how long an ostrich will live under normal conditions but there are birds on South African farms which are believed to have reached or passed the century mark, many of them having been in captivity there over fifty years. Most people have the idea, obtained, prob &bly, from their old geographites whsG trey were children. that the female ostrich, after laying her egas Il nest scooped out of the desert sahds, cov- CTS them up with the sand and leaves them, trusting to the heat of the sun to hatch them. This is not the fact. The birds always pair off during the breeding season, the male bird making the nest by resting his breastbone on she sand and turning slowly round anc round, scratching the sand away witk his feet until shallow hole is made. some three feet in diameter and about a foot deep. The female then lays, usu- ally, Is eggs, and the birds take turns sitting on them, the female sitting during the daytime and the male at night, except that the male allows tho fer6ale about an hour in the middle of the day to feed, when he takes he, place on the nest.--Boston Herald.
