A curious relic of the Baldwin-Zieg-
Ter polar expedition, which returned
last August, has been received by the
Americai consul at Bergen, Norway. 1t
is a message from Mr.. Baldwin, dated
June IL, 1902. from Camp Ziegler.
Franz Josef Land. asking for more
coal, hay, fried fish and sledges.
This message, neatly written on a
small piece of parchment, was inclosed
in a copper tube, which was inserted in
q large cork, shaped like a top, with a
copper peg, which made it float like a
miniature buoy.
The cork top was picked up at
Vopuajord, Iceland, by a farmer, who
handed it to a merchant, and the lat
ter, carrying out the instructions ON
veyed in the message, forwarded it,
under date May 20, 1903, to Mr.. E. S.

TIE LARGEST BRICKFIELD.
British Center Makes Enough Bricks
Every Year to GirdIe the
Earth Four Times.

Peterborough, England, makes
enough bricks in the course of a year
to put a girdle four times around the
earth, says tic Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 1t is estimated that the busy
brickmaking yards, which have grown
up in great number round the ancient
city in the last 20 years, turn out 500,
000, 900 bricks annually. AS the
length of a brick is about eight inches,
then, if Peterborough's annual output
were laid out in a single line, it would
stretch owe 1905 0 miles.
The brick INDUSTRY has revolution
lied the trade of Peterborough. Such
is the wealth of clay and the profit
to be drawn from it, that one part of
the brickmaking district has been
fifty named "Klondike." 1t lies in
beds of enormous area and depth, and
some of the experts say they could go
on taking out the easily accessible
clay for the next century without tax.

HOT-WATER FISH.
Curious Species Found in the Boil hg
Lake of AmatitIan in Guatemala
Other

N. Marcellin Pellet, a French writer,
who has recently returned from Guate-
mala. describes a curious species OF
fish, the Pacilia dorri, which he found in
the boiling lake of Amatitlan. 1t pass
es its days literally in continual hot
water" So hot is the water of this lake
that 1t IL said to thrust ones hand in
it means scalded fingers. Ebullition is
however. somewhat tempered, say the
New York Herald, as the really boiling
water rises to the surface, leaving a
temperature of 35 degrees c~entigrade a,
the level, where the fish are found, which
is W then sufficiently warm for cold
blooded creatures like fish.
Frank auckland states in one of his
works that the naturalist Brossonnet
found by experiments that some fresh
water fish would live several days in
water so hot that a human being could
not keep his hand in it for a minute.
DR.. Saussure, the Swiss scientist, dis
covered living cells in the hot springs OF
AK, the temperature of which averages
113 degrees Fahrenheit. Humboldt also
saw living fish thrown up in a volcano
in South America.

Battle For Possession between syn
dictate and Squatters.
NEW YORK, Oct. up in Column
bia county there is a very pretty little
lake over which there is a great deal
of trouble. 1t is COpake lake. Not
long ago a syndicate of wealthy New
York men bought it. Hence the trou-
bic. The syndicate claims the lake,
the islands and a strip of land sixty
three feet wide all along the water
front. They posted notices to tres
passers to get off and keep off. The
people who have beer using that water
front-and some of them living on it
shot holes through the signs and tore
them down. Meanwhile they keep on
living there, just as they have been
doing for years.
For a generation or two Copake lake
has been a sort of free domain. No
owner exercised any claim to it. The
neighboring farmers used it as they
pleased. Then came summer visitors.
They built pretty little cottages along
the shore and docks for their skiffs.
Nobody objected.
Now it is a question of whether the
people who have bought it or the peo-
pie who have built and own houses
there are to possess the lake.
