IOWA TOWNS DAILY MIRAGE.
saasular IIlasioa That Il Visible IN
Cedar Rapids Whenever the
Sun 10 ShinSaO.

Every day in the year when the u
is shining q mirage may be seen in
this city. says a correspondent Of
the Chicago Inter Ocean. So far rs
is known this is the only place in the
world where this phenomenon of "a
ture can be so regularly observed, al
though there are many places where
il takes place under certain atmOs-
pheric conditions. The mirage here
is on one of the principal streets of
the city and makes the street appear
as II there was a pond of water COW
ering it. So natural is this appear
ance that many times residents of
the city who are not posted as to the
mirage have turned from the street
to escape going through the water
that they thought they saw in the
! distance.
The best place to view the mirage
from is on First Avenue in front of
Coe college, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets. On a bright day,
by looking down the avenue four or
Ave blocks away will he seen this lake
of water covering the roadway. Pass
ing street cars are so plainly reflected
in il that il is difficult to realize that
there is no water there.
Prof. Bates. of Coe college, accounts
for the mirage by the fact that the
avenue is slightly inclined from the
indicated point of view. A person,
therefore, looks down at the mirage
at an angle Of about 30 degrees, and
his line of vision crossing the down
coming rays of light obliquely at that
point produces this singular illusion.

Apropos OF that Erkel aria here follows
a clipping from foreign paper;

which the climax depicts the grier or

are among Madame Nordica's most notable
characteristics were brought to bear in her
study OF this aria. She was finally more or

that eluded her One day, however, while
driving In the country near her summer
home, she was startled by a vail OF
anguish from nearby cottage Jumping
from her carriage, she ran TO the door ana
there fonnd a young peasant mother, whose
child had Just died in her arms, giving way
to the hrst passion Of her woe. Madame
Nordica did what she could 10 help the

that the effect is nothing less than electric.
~
All who know Madame Nordica testify
that she has as kindly a heart as ever beat
In human breast. Last summer at Boil,
during one of her walks through the viii
lage, she saw four little girls playing In
front of tumble-down house. They had a
doll of unique description. 1t was made
of bootjack clad In torn bit of apron.
The next afternoon Madame Nordica set
out on foot for the nearest village. Half
way up the mountain the rain came drip
ping down. Throwing her cloak about her
shoulders and digging her walking cane
firmly into the slippery way, she elimed
upward. Her cheeks were pink from exer-
tlon and perspration mingled with the
raindrops on her face, but on she went
search disclosed a shop where dolls
were waiting on the shelves. She bought
four, then a carriage was ordered and
famous Brurnhide of the Metropolitan
opera lifted the antique knocker on the door
OF the tumble-down house. 1t was not yet
night, but the peasants had gone TO bed.
Presently a mans head was stuck out of
! the window. To explain her mission was
brief matter. The smiling father in rath-
er scant raiment hurried down TO take the
paper containing the four dolls AS she
drove away four toused yellow little heads
were stuck out of the window and shrieks
of delight followed her while she waved
"a
out the sight and sound OF the happiness
that she had left behind.

That Debeque Strike.

The reported heavy strike at the well
OF the Blaine Oil 4 Gas Company at De
beque, which was much talked OF on the
etreets yesterday afternoon, but which
few people believed, turns out to be
very small affair.
The Sentinel took the trouble to send
p gentleman residing in Debf que to the
wen this noon To find out the exact stat
us of the reported strike He said in
part: "a heav, flow OF water was struck
several days ago Tho water which
comes out OF the well has trace of oil
vh ch covers the water somewhat like a
film
The eavy hlw spoken Ut was doubt
less -nsconstrued He explains this by
saving that about every six to eight
hours gas seems to accumulate below
the water a then su denly bursts
forth, sending the water and pebbles and
other matter gathered in the well out
with whirl
There has been no large flow of oil
struck as yet
