The Loneiiest People on Earth.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe Of
people in the world is the Tshuktshi,
a people occupying the northern por.
ton of the peninsula of K0mskatla
and the country northward toward
Boring straits.
These people arc practically indie.
pendent of Russia, who appears to
have reasons of her own for letting
them alone. They have practically
no communication with the outside
world, and have only been visited two
or three timeszthe last time by Major
de Windt on his journey through ST.
beria.
The inhabitants OF the New ST.
berian Islands are also practically
alone on earth, for they can only com
municate with the mainland, aud
therefore with the rest of the world,
once a year, and succession of bad
seasons might isolate them for years.
The pygmies OF the great Central
African forests, if they can be called a
tribe, have also been o people apart.
For ages their existence was little
more than legendary, and only two
expeditions commanded by white men
have ever penetrated into their abode.

"Two things are noteworthy about
the book sales of this city," remarked
a man who has made it a. practice to
attend old book sales. Zone is the
almost entire absence OF middle class
of buyers, such as we find in the Euro
pean countries. Abroad, all classes
who can afford it buy books. Here,
aside from the retail booksellers, all
the buyers belong to one OF two
classes; rich men who can afford to buy
anything, and poverty-stricken biblio-
philes who are willing to give mp their
last dollar for choice volume. Men
of comfortable incomes seem to prefer
to buy of the regular retail dealers.
''The other curious fact is tho
amount OF buying done under assumed
names. After n sale is over it is often
impossible for the auctioneer to say
what has become of the volumes he
has sold. He may have his suspicious
that John Smith. the extensive buyer,
is really Mr.. So and so, but he seldom
knows positively. Rich men seem to
have been driven to this course to es.

NsvhoAs "pEArH SPRING.
Men and Animals Fall Victims 10 tn,
Poisoned waters.

The death Of Robert Watson, n cat
tie man, after drinking OF the water,
of death Spring" in the Rabbit
Hole mountains, again brings into
prominence this terror OF Nevada
stockmen. The spring is situated in
Humboldt county, Nevada. It's wa.
ters are so impregnated with arsenic
that death results to most creatures
that drink from it. Running from
the spring is tiny stream, clear as
crystal, which sinks into the ground
about a hundred yards from the
spring. Along the banks of this
stream are to be found the bones OF
hundreds of small animals, and even
of deer, sheep and cattle that have
drank OF the water and died.
Stock men have built high fence
about the spring and, so far as possi-
BILE, have enclosed the stream. II
seems impossible, however, to keep
stock from drinking the water. Stu.
ated many miles from any other water
supply, cattle will get to IL, no matter
what precautions are taken to prevent
them. Hundreds OF head OF stock are
lost each year on account of it.
Watson had lived in the vicinity
for a quarter of century and was
we'll aware of the fatal properties of
the spring. He was out hunting
stock when he became separated from
his companions. He lost his horse
and was obliged to follow them Oh
foot.
The second day after his mishap,
after being nearly thirty hours with.
ont water, he reached the spring His
thirst was overpowering and, in his
partial delirium, he drank of the pois.
onous water, much the same as ship.
wrecked sailors drink from the ocean
when their thirst becomes unbearable.
His friends, who had expected him TO
overtake them every hour, had, in the
meantime, concluded that some mis-
hap had occurred, and turned back
to look for him. They found him
shortly after he had drunk of the
deadly waters. He was still alive, but
suffering the greatest agony. All that
could be done in the desert te relieve
him was done, but without avail He
died within an hour after his com.
panions found him.
A similar spring is to be found be-
tween Mountain Meadow and Susan.
vile, Lassen county, California. The
waters of this spring and the stream
that runs from it are green and unin-
vitiug, unlike those of the Nevada
spring in this respect. The bones OF
many deer, cattle, sheep and wild
animals that have tasted of the water
of spring or stream are to be found
in the vicinity. Stockmen have built
n seven-foot board fence around the
spring, aud on top of the fence have
put several lines of barbed wire, that
stock may be kept from it.

Although Wagner never was in this
country, the possibility of his coming
over here is referred to often in his
published correspondence. In fact,
he made America n stand. and deliver
argument with his friends, several
times threatening to forever put aside
his Ring of the Nibelung' aud to
cross the ocean to earn competency
unless they contributed to his sup
port.
That Wagner regarded America as
a gold mine we'll worth exploitation by
foreign artists appears from a letter
which i'll 1S4S he wrote to Franz
Loebmann, music director at Riga,
whose brother wanted financial assist
ance to 20 to America with an orches-
ira. Wagner advised Loebmann to
assist his brother He instances the
case Of German musician who went
to America as a poor man and in q
very short time was in receipt OF an
excellent income; adding that a whole
orchestra would certainly be still
more lucky, for Sin n country where
villages are constantly growing into
cities in five years there can be no
lack of opportunities for the settle
ment of whole bands of musicians. !"
