A salt Lake In CHnrus.

There is what might be called a
''freak" lake in the Island of Cyprus.
1t lies in a basin cut off from the sea
and slightly below sea level. 1t is
very salt, and when the excessive heat
has dried up the water, which it does
by the month of August, every sum
mer the inhabitants gather a good har-
vest of the deposit. 1t is believed that
the lake is formed by the percolation
of sea water through the rocks. The
inhabitants set great value on the
lake, and as a single heavy rain in
midsummer has been known to ruin
the salt crop, they have made chan
nels to carry off rain-foods from the
slopes of the basin into the sea.

The troop known as the "Black
Horse Cavalry" at Fort Myer, Vir
ginia, contains men who are believed
to be the finest riders in America.
Thousands of Washington society peo-
pie go out to witness their weekly ex-
hibition drills, and are not only inter-
ested, but excited, for there is nothing
more thrilling than a drill with the
vigor snap and precision that are
characteristic of our American cav
airy. Beginning with the simpler evO-
lutions of the troop these "Black
Horse" troopers go through the
"School of the Troop" at all gaits
with equal precision and a marvellous
uniformity. AS in some of the Euro
pean armies all American cavalTymen
are dragons, that is to say, they are
trained to fight both mounted and dis
mounted. While dashing down the
battle-ground, doing some intricate
movement, the troop is given the COM
mand "dismount to fight on foot" and
in a couple of seconds the men are in
an infantry skirmish line, and their
horses are being led to the rear, at
full gallop, by the No. Of each set Of
tours. The skirmish line advances,
firing "volleys by platoons, 'by
squads" firing at WILL" etc. Upon
arriving at the proper distance mag
azine rapid fire" is ordered, and finally
the imaginary enemy is charged and
captured, Then follow the exhibitions
of individual Observation-Disclosures
over hurdles aIAd fences and covering
bitches and stone walls. A most in
teresting feature Of the drill at Fort
Myer is the training of the horses and
their use by the troopers as a shelter
from the enemy's fire. At the COM
mand Of the captain, a word from each
trooper, and the horse goes down with
out a culver, and lies at full length on
the ground, while the troopers fire
with carbine and revolver from be-
hind their shelter, and with the weap-
ons resting on the horses backs. An

Vanishing Bird Races.

The ffamingo and the pink curlew
are no more, the paroQuet and egret
are going fast, the white pelican is a
tradition only, like the dOdo. Some
birds increase under the protection of
man because he wages war on more
destructive enemies. The quail sets
at naught the breech-loader and the
trap if allowed to forage in the grain
fields, but there are others that vanish
before the face of man as does the
mist before the morning sun. We
may delay the end, perhaps, but it is
at last the survival Of the flt.-Florida

North Arkansas Celebrates.

''The great event whic h has been expected for twenty years at Harrison is now a thing of the past" says the Eureka Springs Times Echo. GA rail- road has been formally opened up, connecting that enterprising little city with the commercial world by rail and affording an exit for the great mineral wealth that is stored in the mountains of North Arkansas.
 And now that it has finally been started, and there is no reason at present to doubt that the road will be pushed further on into and through the mineral belt. It is even so stated by those who are giving financial backing to the enterprise so far realized upon and the proposition is very reasonable. The advan-- tage of North Arkansas of such a line is beyond present calcula- ton. It will help not only one section, but all. No town or community will reap all or even most of the benefits; but every part of the region penetrated will profit immeasurably from the road. It will help E e k a Springs as we'll as it's neighbers to the east of us; because in the great commercial impetus that is sure to follow development of North Arkansas, there will bea growth and enterprise stimulated all over this part of the state, in which all the enterprising ones will secure their share. The sec- ton of the state that will profit from the building of the road is large and abundant with re- sources of the most valuable kinds. It has zinc, lead, iron, copper, marble and oil among it's most important deposits, which in development will require many thousands of dollars, even to the millions. The expenditure of such an amounto of money can but leave it's effects upon the finan-- cial life of the community, and thus will a new era for North Arkansas be opened.
 For years the northern section of the state has suffered by com parison, and in some respects, with other more developed por- tions of the state. That time has now passed. Not only so, but the different character of it's re- sources, commanding greater in- vestments, will. far. more than make up for the years of weary waiting. It is reasonable to pres dict that within the next two or three years there will be more money invested and put in cir culation in six counties in North Arkansas than in any 12 other counties in the state. This is but the natural sequence of min- eral wealth: The opening of the extension of the road to Harrison was the signal for capital to come on. Not only Harrison but all North Arkansas celebrates.'
