THUNDER MOUNTAIN OVERFLOW,

~ OND1LAe AVON AIN w HlCF LV W :
Salt Lake Mining Review:
Idaho and Montana papers are al
ready beginning to figure on results
destined to follow in the wake of the
Thunder Mountain "overflow They
have seen the handwriting on the

camps and districts in the sections
named and in other mineral bearing
states.
History is sure to repeat itself in
the case of the Thunder Mountain
boom, and the conditions which are
sure to follow closely upon the heels
of this inundation into this prom
ised land OF many leaders of pros
pectors, capitalists and mining in
vestors, can safely be predicted in
advance, and no one needs be en-

in hundred of the pilgrims to this
new gold region will succeed in find

thousand is successful in his quest

of mining for centuries past will
have been surpassed and eclipsed;
as no camp or district, however new
or rich, could not, within the range
OF human and physical possibility,
furnish a paying mine for every one
of the thousands who will visit the
Thunder Mountain region this sum
mer.
AS it is, no one doubts but that
score or two of Monte Cristos will
eventually be found within the
boundary lines of this section, so
rich in Its mineral promise; and this,
in itself, would be a marvellous re-
cord With the finding of this mum.

Must Pick the Bone,

AS Is well known. slavery existed in q
small way In Massachusetts in the ear
ly days. Slaves were often freed by
will at the death of their master. and
not infrequently aged and unhealthy
servants were released in order to save
the expense of their maintenance. The
unfortunate freedman then became a
charge on the town. So frequent did
such cases become that the general
prohibited the freeing of servants ex-
cept upon giving bonds to save the pub
lie from future charges. The historian
of Maiden cities an incident:
One of the old esquires Of Maiden
had slave who had been in his family
until he was about seventy years of
age. Perceiving that there was not
much more work left In the old man,
his owner sent for him one day and
addressed him In pompous fashion.
you have been a faithful servant to
me and my father before me-" he said.
81 have long been thinking what !
should do to reward you for your serv-
Ices, and l have decided to give you
your freedom. You are your own mas
ter; you are your own man."
But the old negro shook his grizzly
head and, with a sly glance which
showed that he saw through his mas
ter's intentions. quietly replied:
mo, no, massa; you eat de meat, and
now you must pick de bone"

than quarter of q mile when he saw
to the south, directly opposite from
where the storm had come, q menac-
ing bank of restless clouds. They were
ablaze with ragged fire. The boom of
thunder rose afresh. Yes; there could
be no further question. A second
tempest was approaching. Already the
sickness Of terror was upon him, the
nausea Of cowardice. and he again fac
ed toward his refuge, the cave! But
something in the sky held him fas-
cinated, something shaped like a IL
tanic top, hung from the heavens and
spun by demon hands. Then 1t stop

What had the landlord said that aft
ernoon? When it stops "bouncin'," it's
close!
He turned and fed for his life, but
even MS he ran new thought came to
him. 1t was not yet morning. None
in the sleeping town knew of the doom
racing toward their homes. He had a
pitiful vision Of shattered houses, lit
tered with mutilated bodies, women
and children caught from their slum-
bers in the crunching nav Of the cy-
clone.
He forgot himself and fear. He
had passed the cyclone cellar and was
rushing through the hall Of the hotel.
"Cyclone! Cyclone! To the cave
for your lives"'
The house sprang into instant life,
but before the first startled guest
reached the main floor Andrews was
again in the street. He carried the
dinner gong, which he had seized in an
inspiration born Of anxiety. Between
each shout Of warning he drummed
mad, quivering alarms on the eloquent
brass.
He made the round of three sides of
the square when Of a sudden a mighty
roaring was all about him. He paused,
bewildered, and a crashing thunder
bolt seemed to strike his temple, a
burning splendor blinded his eyes.
Then an invisible power struck full
against him, seized him and wrapped
him in its crushing embrace, bore him
aloft, tossed him here and there and
finally into q blackness that swallow
ed him completely.
Three days later he woke to see an
angel bending over him. No; it was
flesh and blood. after all. 1t was she.
He blinked at her uncertainty.
"You are heror' She spoke softly,
with shining eyes.
Then he remembered.
"Were many saved?"
GAIL" she answered proudly. "Those

few, who sought refuge in cellars

close to him.

The Medical Record is authority for
the statement that the Odor of new
mown hay is an indication of pynmia,
typhus is indicated by an ammoniac
smell, jaundice by musky one, vel
low fever by the odor of bun barrel,
hysteria by suggestion of violets or
pineapplcs, intermittent fever by the
smell of fresh baked brown bread and
measles by one like fresh picked feath-
ers.
In cholera the odor of the skin is am
moniacal. 1t is acid in what is called
milk fever. acetoformic in rheuma-
tism, particularly in the region of the
engorged calculations; of new baked
bread in scarlatina. In smallpox the
odor is that of the fallow deer; in ty-
phoId fever it is that of blood.
1t seems somewhat incongruous that
the smell of the plague resembles
honey.

Bay rum is manufactured in Domin-
lea from the dried leaves of Pimenta
acris. Bay rum is procured by distilla-
ton and this in very simple manner.
The leaves are picked from the trees
and then dried. In this state they are
placed in the retort, which is then
filled with water. and the process of
distiIlation is carried on. The vapor is
then condensed in the usual way and
forms what Is known as bay OIL" a
very small quantity of which is re-
quired for each puncheOn of rum. The
manufacture of bay rum is carried on
at the northern end of Dominica and
proves n very lucrative business to
those engaged in it. as the plants are
plentiful in this district.

FLOATING ISLANDS.
One Island, Covering Two Acres,
Seen In the Gulf Stream.

Seen In the GuIf Stream.
Or all passengers carried by ocean
currents floating islands are the most
Interesting. Many of them have been
found vOyaging on the Atlantic. These
islands were originally parts of low
lying river banks which broke away
under stress of storm or flood and
f1oated out to sea. The OrinOco, the
Amazon, the La Plata and other trop-
ical rivers often send forth such pieces
of their shores. Some of the bits of
land are of large size and carry ami
mails. insects and vegetation, even at
times Including trees. the roots Of
which serve to hold the land intact,
while their branches and leaves serve
rs sails for the wind. Generally the
waves break up these islands shortly
after they put to sea, but sometimes,
under favorable conditions, they travel
long distances.
The longest voyage of n floating is
land. according to government records,
took place in 1898. This island was
first seen off Florida, and apparently it
had an area of two acres. 1t bore no
trees. but it was thickly covered with
bushes, and in one place it was thirty
feet high above the sea level. 1t was
in the gulf stream, travelling slowly
and with occasional undulations to
show where the ground swell was
working beneath it. Probably it got
away from its river anchorage in the
spring of the year. for toward the lat
ter part of July it had reached the lat
itude of Wilmington, Del.
No large animal life had been seen
myriads of the small creeping things
which abound in the tropics. By the
end of August it had passed Cape Cod
and was veering toward the Grand
banks. 1t followed the steamer lane
routes quite accurately, and several
vessels reported it. One month later
1t was In midocean northwest of the
Azores, and its voyage evidently was
beginning to tell on it. 1t was much
smaller and less compact. 1t was not
seen again, and probably it met de-
struction in the October gales. But it
had Travelled at least 1000 miles, and
If, as was thought, it came from the
Orinoco. it must have covered twice
that distance.
1t Is quite possible that floating IS
lands larger than this one. under more
favoring circumstances, might during
past ages have made the complete jour
ney from America to Europe or Africa
and so brought about a distribution of
animal species. OF course it is not alb
solutely certain that this island went
to pieces in October. 1t might. though
this is not probable, have toated down
into the region of Gains and seawced,
where it would be longer preserved
