WAS ON BUSINESS BENT
Love Of Books Not the Old Mans
Ruinu Passion.


A little old man, STOPPING and white
haired. with rusty hat and long used
coat. was bending over the rows OF
volumes in a dusty, antique bookstore
not many miles from East Twenty
third street the other day. There was
about him something of the flavor of
oldtime books and last century litera-
ture; he might have stepped out OF
one of those old engravings which
show shabby collectors absorbed in
their treasures. while small boys pick
their pockets from behind, pockets al
ready well drained, though, by the col
lectors' ruling passion.
Suddenly he picked up book eag-
erly, blew off the dust. and poked his
nose between the yellow leaves. A
young man, himself lover of old
books, who had been watching the old
fellow with interest and certain lit
erary affection, asked almost timidly,
Have you made find?
g. 'Sh, you young fool" said the mild
old collector" Then, in whisper,
he added: Il can get this book here

Lost Rivers Of Idaho.

One of the most singular features
in the scenery of the Territory OF
Idaho is the occurrence of dark, rocky
chasms, into which creeks and large
streams suddenly disappear and are
never more seen. The assures of old
lava channels produced by the outside
of the mass cooling and forming
tube, which, when the fiery stream
was exhausted, has been left empty.
while the roof OF the lava duct, hav-
ing at some point fallen in, presents
there the opening into which the river
plunges and is lost. At one place
along the Snake river valley one of
these rivers appears gushing from a
cleft high up in basaltic walls, where
it leaps into a cataract into the tor
rent below. Where the stream has
its origin or at what point it is swal-
lowed up is absolutely unknown, al
though it is believed that it's sources
are long way up in the north coun-
try. Besides becoming the channels
of streams the lava conduits are fire.
