There is a spring that is freak in
Centre county, Penn. 1t is near
Mar Ii creek, in Boggs township, on
the Robert Gunsallus farm. There
are two springs within 60 feet of each
other. One is an ordinary spring
sending forth flow of water that
never varies. Its neighbor, however,
every morning at o'clock stops flow
ing, and not drop of water comes
from it until four o'clock in the after
noon. At that hour it again starts
running, and a steady stream of water
pours forth to continue until 9 o'clock
the next morning. The water from
this spring is limestone water The
spring has been exhibiting this freak
ishness now for number of years,
and its cause has never leen explained.

FISH Know Thor KeeperN,

Many of the fish in the Aquarium
in New York City have learned to
know their keepers and will crowd to
the rail when they pass. Some Of
them will take food from no othes
persons. A few of them eat from one
of the keepers hands. Among these
are the trunk fish, so called because
they are inside. The animal swims
about incased in stout, bony box, as
impervious to attacks as the skin of a
politician. 1t has no neck and no dis
tinct backbone. The fish lies inside
its bony armor and glance up its
bugle-like snout into its interior is
the basls for the statement that its
flesh is delicate pink. The natives
of Bermuda like it very much, and
they make no bones of its cousin, the
cowfsh. They roast them both on
hot stones in their own dripping pans,
30 to speak, and serve them with a
mallet. The trunk fish is really more
the shape of satchel. His tail pro-
jects like rudder, and he merely
steers with it, sculling along with his
stubby fins and big, bony sides like a
man of-war propelled by paddles. The
cowish has the same peculiarities,
but is equipped also with a set of
horns. The unwary monster of the
deep that engulfs either animal is as

In no part of Cuba are the Ieneiicent

of Santiago, on the southern coast.
Here the evils Of Spanish dominion

The city itself was filthy beyond all

house for the greater part of the year.
The streets were in Il wrctched condi-
ton, and little or nothing was done to
promote the growth and prosperity of
the city. In the country roundabonts,
the province of Santiago, the sane
general conditions prevailed. Brig
andage was common, and neither life
nor property was safe anywhere. All
this has been changed, under the wise,
energetic and progressive administra'
ton of General Leonard Wool. San
tiago is now as clean and wholesome
as most American towns. Many of its
streets have been paved and severed
and otherwise improved. Schools
modelled on the American plan have
been opened throughout the province;
the courts have cen reorganiZel and
pla ed OH an American basis and law
and order es.abli she'd. In til 's noble
work General Wo d has had the SYM

immensely popular, as they richly de,

Daring Rescue of u Woman.

Daring Rescue of u Woman.
VXT HILE thousands looked
W. on, expecting at any mo.
Y Y ment to see it end in a
tragedy, a woman was res
cued from burning building at No.
155 Third avenue, on a recent after
noon, relates the New York Tribune.
The hero in the case is Thomas Dele
hanty, of No. 1853 Third avenue, the
adjoining house. His work was de-
clared by those who saw it superb
exhibition of cool nerve.
The woman is Mrs. Mary Paterson.
She is twenty-six years old. She came
so near to losing her life that she is
now i'll from the shock and her condi-
ton is serious.
The building is three.story brick.
The ground floor is occupied by Mel
lon van Tollal, who uses it for milk
store. The second floor is unten.
anted. Mrs. Paterson lived in the
front part of the third or top floor,
while Aaron Catlan lived in the rear.
The fire started in the baseme
1t spread to the airshaft, and then to
the third floor. The only person at
home seemed to be Mrs. Paterson.
She had been sleeping, and was awak
ened by the cracking of the flames.
Her room was becoming filled with
smoke, and the fire had cut off the
stairway. The woman was so fright
ened that she ran to the front window
and prepared to jump. Somebody in
the street saw her. A cry of horror
went up.
"Don't Jump! The fremen are com.
ing" yelled score of people. But
the flames were near her. She stood
on the sill, covered her eyes with her
hands, and would have jumped if she
had not been seized.
Thomas Deleharty lives on the third
floor of the next building and on a
level with Mrs. Paterson's rooms. He
heard the crowd and saw her peril.
There is an eighteen-inch stone ledge
running along under the windows Of
the two houses and ont on this Dele
hanty crawled. The smoke was pour
ing out of the windows OF No. 155 in
binding volumes, and he was at the
window where Mrs. Paterson stood
almost before the crowd realized it.
Every one wanted to cheer. They
didn't dare, however, as it might have
cost Delehanty's nerve, and there was
too much at stake.
Don't move and be quiet" he
called to Mrs. Paterson. She looked
at him and then fell forward in faint.
The weight of the woman and the
peculiarly. awkward position IN which
he had to stand almost sent the two
over the ledge into the .treet. But,
grasping blind with the right hand
and holding the unconscious woman
in his left, he balanced himself and
started back
Delehanty had to stop several times
to steady himself, but he finally got
to his own window. He was quickly
relieved of his burden, and was helped
inside.
The cheer that went up as the
woman's safety was assured was heard
blocks away. Deehanty was made a
lion despite his modest protest that
