famine relief expedition, who just arrived
in sledges at this little town on the top Of

seen in this part q the czar's empire In

American traversed snorthern Finland at
this season of the year. We are now sew

road at the very: heart of the sorest spot
in the famine stricken districts of the
country called in Finnish, Suomi, the Land

Dr. Louis Klopsch, proprietor OF the New

LARGE AS LAKE ERIE.
Little Known Body Of Water In WIN
nipeg In Region Rich In
Minerals.

Lake Winnipeg, or "The Muddy Wa
ter" is quite large sheet of water,
being about 300 miles in length and 60
in width, or about as large as Lake
Erie. One solitary schooner of some
so tons burthen is all the vessel that
sails over its broad surface, If we ex-
cept the bark canoes of the voyageurs.
The sail vessel belongs to the Hudson
Bay Fur company, and is employed in
transporting furs and supplies on
their way to and from the Hudson bay,
the chief factory Of the company.
Little il known of the great north
ern lake, with its solitary vessel and
it's limited business; 1t il what Lake
Superior was to the world some Is
years ago, and it is not unreasonable
to suppose that as In the case of this
lake unknown resources and unfor-
seen circumstances will in IS years
more surround its shores with civil
zation and cover its waters with steam
and sail vessels. That It Il q region
rich in minerals there Is no doubt,
from the testimony Of many travellers.
The time may come, says the Winni-
peg Globe, when Lake Superior will be
only the halfway place for business
and travel to the northwest.

GOATS FURNISH THE MILK.
Entire supply Of Lacteal Fluid
from the Animals.

The population Of the island of
Malta, situated in the Mediterranean
sea. amounting to some 200, 900 souls.
derives its entire milk supply from
the goat herds that abound in that
little speck of rock. II Ii estimated
that there are about 10000 goats ON
the island. There are no regular
grazing fields for goats. but every
morning the herds are driven out
along the roads and hillsides. where
they pick up whatever they can find
in the way Of weeds OF any other
edible matter. which. however, sell
dom includes grass. This is supple
mented by carob beans when the
herd Is driven back to shelter at
night.
How the Maltese goat can give the
quantity and quality of milk which
it does upon this food Is a matter
of frequent conjecture and it in out
of the question to get anything but
thin and watery milk from cows un-
der the same conditions. An average
goat produces AZ pints Of milk per
day and the animals cost from $40
to $25 each. No special effort seems
to be made by the natives to pre-
serve strains, but, nevertheless, the
Maltese goat manages to keep up its
reputation for looks and productive
ness.

DETECT THE MINT THIEVES.
Japanese Use the X-Rays to Catch
Employees Who Conceal Coins In
Their St0nachs.

A firm in Philadelphia has recently
sold to the Japanese government one
Of their X-ray machines for novel
purpose, reports the New York Post.
The representatives of Japan who
placed the order said that in the
governmental minis great many
gold dollars are coined and there has
been considerable loss through dis
honest employees swallowing the small
coins and thus taking them out of
the mints. There has been no way
of preventing this until a clever Off
cial suggested the use OF the x-rays,
and the machine was ordered at
once.
1t il not proposed to put every en-
ploye to the test when leaving the
minis, but he will be searched by cleo
tricity from time to time, unexpect-
edly, and any one of the employees
may be called up at any time to I'M
dergo the test. 1t is believed that
the fear of detection will prevent the
stealing, at least in the form now
used. 1t is suggested that a machine
might be used with profit in the
South African diamond fields to make
the black laborers honest. The field
for X-rays in this direction seems to
be large.

SEEK A LOST SHIPS GOLD.
ous Quest on New Zealand's
Coast.

An American schooner lately ar
rived in New Zealand with a party
who propose to search for long-lost
treasure. Nearly 40 years have passed
since the ship General Grant left Aus
tralia for London with a cargo of gold
and wool. At one of the Auckland is
lands, near New Zealand, she met with
a frightful fate. She was sucked into
a sort of colossal cave, but it is possible
she might have got out if huge wave
had not lifted her so high that the
masts, striking the roof, were driven
through her bottom. Through the
openings thus made the water rushed
in and she speedily sank. Only one
sailor and two children were saved.
After some months on the island
they were picked up by a passing
steamer and taken to New Zealand.
Several attempts have been made to
recover the large quantity of gold
that went down in the General Grant,
but they were all failures. 1t remains
to be seen whether the American ad-
venturers will be more successful. II
they should recover the gold is it their
property? That seems a nice legal
point.

Fish g. Surgeons.

"Along the Caribbean sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, 1T is a common thing to
see men and women and children sit
ting on the banks of streams with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
They have a strange reason for this
strange conduct. They are much
troubled by little insect-a kind of
tick-which buries itself In their flesh,
and is very hard to dislodse; and 30.
when the ticks have got in-them they
go TO the water, bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have q fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see, and,
pulling the ticks out, devour them. In
that manner in the Caribs fish are
called upon to act ~ surgeons. En-
cient and painless surgeons they
make. too"
