How many men have seen mirage "a real desert mirage. at night? It is not probable that the opportunity has come to many.
 Capt. H. R. Burke of San Fran cisco related the tale of this strange phenomenon to a Times reporter yes terday.

Truly, it was a poor thing to be called recreation.
 Even after sundown the air did not change, and we lay very uncom- fortably on the ground. smoking our pipes and wondering whether or not we were in for a bad night of it. Pres

 Well, after I got up, there before me in dim and wavering outlines, was a city. In the bright moonlight the houses ought to have been much more distinct, but I attributed it to the unsettled dust in the atmosphere. Faint lights gleamed in some of the windows.
 we stood for some moments spec ulating on our whereabouts and chat- fing each other as to our knowledge of topography, for we had thought ourselves many miles from civiliza- tion. Suddenly a faint breeze came I'D. the heat of lower air strata found an opening. and started heavenward in a thousand snaky columns of dust.

Surgeons and Shaving.

The latest decision in the surgical world is that physicians must shave their faces. It is claimed that many cases of contagious diseases are car ried to patients in the boards of doe tors, while the surgeon performing an operation may convey dangerous germs to the wound of his patient. The New York Journal recently pub lished an illustrated page, showing, in highly magnified form, a wealth of microbes found upon the hair of the face.
