OF the assistant treasurer OF the United

CHICAGO. Ill, Oct. 17.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw, who is making a campaign
tour Of this section Of the country, was al
the Auditorium hotel today. and in refer
ring to the treasury offer to purchase
United States bonds. IS announced from
Washington, said:
what amount Of bonds will be delivered
on this proposition / cannot say, but
have assurances indicating that the pur-
chase will aggregate at least ST.. 900. 0ot
face value, which will release 4 little over
500 O0. 900. What few bonds there are are
held either by trust estates that would not
be released at any price or by those whit
need neither the money nor the interest
and prefer to hold the government securi-
ties. So soon as the government becomes
a purchaser prices advance.
Conditions which have made the pur-
chase Of bonds advisable are by no means
local. The September statement revealed
the fact that the banks Of Lincoln. Neb-
which should have had 25 per cent re-
serve, had less than 1s per cent, and tht
banks of Des Moines. which should have
had % per cent, had less than 20 per cent
While the money for the bonds has gont
largely TO eastern holders, II will yer,
naturally fnd its way into all channels o.

QUEER CHANGES IN A
NORTH DAKOTA LAKE
Groves of Trees Which Once Stooo
nt the Beach Now Separated
From 1t by Sand Strips.

one or the interesting problems whicA
mas come under the notice of the hydrog-
raphers Of the United States geoIogica1
survey is the gradual drying up of Devils
lake In North Dakota. DEVILS lake or
Lake MInnewauka, as it is called bv the
Indians, Is the largest BODY Of water in
the state. 1t belongs to the numerous
class of lakes formed by the great glacial
Ice sheet on its final retreat toward the
north. Then and for some time after
when 1t was fed by the heavy rains fol-
lowing the glacial period, it had an outlet
10 the south into the Sheyenne river; and
We'll marked and empty channel still re-
mains between the lake and the river
Long before settlers first came to the
region in 1880 the lake had sunk below tb0
level OF this channel and has since been
~ltnOut an outlet. Regular observations
Ior the last nineteen years show a steady
and almost uninterrupted sinking Of the
wafer Groves of trees, which once stood
al the beach, are now separated from IL
by broad strips Of sand, and the shallow
pdIIS OF the lake, notably the long arms
and bays have been left quite dry.
Another important and interesting fea
uIe IS the change in the water from fresh
TO salt; this has taken place within the
memory or man, and is in some partic-
ulars Pfoducing unfavorable results. Fish
were found IN the lake in great abund-
ance up to about 1883; since then they
nave grown rapidly less, until now Drac-
tcally none are caught
The United States geological survey has
recently established a bench mark near
the lake, and under the charge of Prof.
G. M. Hall, of the state agricultural col
lege, will make careful records of the
fluctuations of the waters and a general
study of their decline The Investigation
may throw some light upon the climatic
conditions Of the past.

cept little housework. One day she was
brought to the hospital in order to have
pin that she had swallowed removed
The attention she received therefor her
case was an interesting one-apparently
turned her head, for Immediately upon
leaving the hospital she developed a
mania for swallowing pins and needles,
making frequent visits to the hospital
necessary. When I left New York she
was still paying her frequent visits to
the hospital. The fact that the girl was
unattractive, and had nothing with which
to occupy her mind, explains in some
degree the queer case, think. Especially
in woman is there a pronounced egoism
that Graves the fiattery of attention. OF
course the normal woman is sufficiently
well balanced to prevent the development
Of any mania. These hypochondriacs are
seldom attractive women. They have few
friends and their lives are barren of in
terest. They are willing to pay a good
physician the fee he asks just for the
sake Of becoming for a brief while at
least an object of Importance to at least
one person.
May Takes a Serious Turn.
But" continued the physician, "such
a mania often takes more serious turn
than that which is gratifed by an occa-
sional visit to physician. Some years
ago there lived in Japan an English fam
lily, consisting Of mother and father and
two grown-up daughters The father
had small clerical position which paid
him a salary sufficient to keep his fam
lily in comfort if not in aff1uence. The
family had friends in San Francisco
who wrote frequently to them dilating
upon the advantages to be gained by a
residence in the newer country. Finally
the family in Japan were persuaded to
sell everything they had and take their
small savings and emigrate to America.
They arrived in San Francisco with lit
tie money and no prospects, for the fam
lily that had written them such glowing
accounts of the friendliness of America
called upon them once and then left
them severely alone. The father sought
work, and finally obtained a position.
One of the daughters helped her parents
in every way possible, but the other
daughter took to bed and stayed there
for six years There was absolutely
nothing the matter with her, so a num-
Der Of physicians declared. She was SIM
ply chagrined at the condition of af-
fairs, and thought that staying in bed
was the best means Of showing it. At
the end Of those six years she became
i'll with the measles and died Of them
1t wasn't a very heroic ending to her
tragic resolve, but her mania almost
wrecked three lives
ACCORDING to ST. Paul physicians,
hypochondriacs are seldom to be found
in the hospitals of the city. Many of
this class Of people, like their more nor
NAL fellow beings, nave a dread of the
hospital, and while they are willing to
take up as much of a physicians time
as he will grant them, they are not will
ing to go to the length of taking UP
their home at the hospital In larger
cities the hypochondriacs have no such
qualms, however, and the hospitals are
well acquainted with them.

he was stationed for a year with the

important factors In the care Of the

Then he went TO Suffolk, Va, where
he became the ranking surgeon on the

he was ordered to this city, and from
here he went to PottsvilIe, where the
miners were having trouble. Then to An
