floods in western Oklahoma and the west
ern portion Of Indian Territory continue
undated with the North Canadian, South

in the Chickasaw nation, where half OF the
residence portion is under from four to
1--WE feet Of water from the overflow Of

from Lawton, Okla, to the Eagle tonight
says that there is four feet OF water in the
townsite Of walters. and that the trans
action OF business is impossible. Every
stream in Comanche county is a raging
torrent, and further loss Of life Is feared.
An unidentified travelling man was caught
in Cache creek, and he and his team and
buggy were swept away. He was undouot-
eddy rowned.
The Woods claim at Lawton is covered
by water, and a current 200 feet wide Is
running through II. Much loss OF property

tia mountains have swept away many pros
pectors' shacks and IT is believed that some
! of their occupants have persisted. Red

surplus water Of the swollen streams and

and doing much damage to property and
crops.

A Curious Transformation

Naturalists have long been familiar
with newt-like creatures breathing by
gills and lungs both, and inhabiting the
lakes of Mexico and other American
waters. This is the axolotl 1t was also
discovered that in certain localities this
creature, which, by the way, breeds
freely in Mexico, sheds its skin, casts
off its gills and its tail fin, develops an
other color of body and leaves the wa
ter to become a land newt Under this
latter guise it is known as the amblys-
toma
Naturally. the explanation of this
curious transformation rests ON the
fact that the axolotl is really the young
or tadpole stage of the amblystoma
form, but the popularity here is that
in its first stage it should breed and
multiply and continue to reproduce
axolotls, as if it were perfectly ma
ture animal. The occurrence of such
cases points out to us one way in which
species can be evolved, for, had we not
been acqua, ated with the relationship
Of these forms. nobody would have hes
itated to des tribe them as two essen
tally distinct animals.
Lately II has been shown, says the
London Chronicle. that. while in Color
ado and Dakota the transformation is
complete, in Mexico the axolotl stage is
apparently permanent. Here, probably
the influence of the environment on a
living being is typically illustrated.

Monkey Mimicry.

A Spanish mule driver once invested
his scant earnings in purchasing num-
Der of red woven caps, which form the
crown of the turban worn throughout
Turkey and Africa, and set out to make
his fortune in the interior. He started
before sunrise. and when the heat of
the day came on lay down to sleep be-
meath tree in a wood. Taking off his
hat he opened his valise, and, putting
on a red cap was soon asleep When
the sun was low in the horizon he
awoke, and to his horror saw the trees
filed with monkeys, in red caps. They
had seen the Spaniard put on the red
cap before going to sleep, and followed
his example. The poor Spaniard
stamped his foot in anger, and tore off
his red cap and threw it on the ground,
when, blessed and unexpected result,
all the monkeys followed his example.
He picked up his caps and went on.

Burning Head.

Star City, Ark. May 26th.-A very
remarkable case has just occurred here.
Mr. w. H. Metals has been suffer
ing severely for two years with an all
ment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed TO be
all in his head which had a burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but 1t never left him.
At last he tried a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills. and was agree
ably surprised to and that the burning
gradually disappeared.
An attack of La Grippe has laid him
up for the last few weeks. but Dodd's
Kidney Pills have banished his old
trouble entirely.
His son George used a few of the
Pills which Mis- father did not need,
and they hayI>done him so much good
that ne say he would not take ten
cents u pill for the few he still has left.

Remarkable Bridge to BE Built Across
Great Salt Lake.
The extensive improvements that are
being made by the Southern Pacific
Company from one end ofits route to the
other involve several wonderful feats of
engineering After the tunneling Of the
Sierras for distance of FIVE miles the
construction of the Ogden-Lucin cutoff
is the most important. A trestle will be
run across the northern end of Great
Salt Lake, and will pass over the water
distance of ten miles. The undertaking
is exciting interest in all the leading en-
cheering eenters, and is the result of
conference on the part of many experts.
The cost of the construction of this
lengthy piece of bridge will be $1,000

be 1044 miles, and it will save All
