WONDERFUL MIRAGE.
Arctic Explorers Could Sec Land That
Was Far Away.

"do ft"dys
William S. Champ. who recently re-
turned from an unsuccessful effort to
reach Franz Josef Land with the
steamship Frithjof, in which he tried
to carry relief supplies to the Ziegler
polar expedition, told an Eagle report
er recently some Of the experiences
through which the Frithjof passed in
encountering the ice pack which skirts
Franz Josef Land for distance of
40 miles on all sides.
"a successful trip to Franz Josef
Land" said Mr.. Champ, ''is the simp-
lest and easiest thing imaginable. I
made such trip during the summer
of 1901 to carry relief to the Baldwin
party. You go north from Norway un-
til you encounter the ice. You skirt
the ice until you find the lead to the
land, and when you finish your work
you come back with equal ease and
facility. 1t Is accompanied by no more
hardship than trip across the Allan
tic. in an ocean liner. In 1901 I made
the trip up to Alger island in nine days
and the return trip in five and a half
days.
"But an unsuccessful trip, such as
the one from which I have just re-
turned, is a different matter. We on
the Frithjof suffered no physical hard
ships worth telling about, but for more
than two months we did our work as
we could and tried our very level best
to accomplish the task upon which we
had been sent. Toward the end Of this
long trial, after we had come to real
ize that there was no chance to get
through the inexorable ice, which held
us off like an impenetrable wall, the
work was heart-breaking.
I'VE skirted the ice pack from 40
degrees east longitude all the way
around to 70 degrees 10 minutes, look
ing for an opening in the ice. There
was none. For a distance Of from 30
to 40 miles out from the shore of
Franz Josef Land 1t was one limitless
bed Of screwing, grinding ice. The
sky. when we could see it, which was
seldom because of the constant pres
ence Of the fog, was dead white, show
ing that the ice fields were continuous
far beyond the horizon. Only once
did we get a glimpse Of the land, and
that was not by direct vision, but by a
most remarkable mirage. One night
about midnight the captain called me
on deck and pointed to low. dark line
near the horizon. DO you see that
line?' he asked. That Is the coast of
Franz Josef Land, reflected in the
Clouds
1T was the most wonderful thing of
the kind ever saw. We could see the
outline Of the coast there in the sky
so clearly that we could easily recog-
nize different ponds and bays. The
outline was just the same as IL we were
at a considerable height in a balloon
off the coast and were looking down
at 1t. OF course, we were too far away
to see the land clearly, but the coast
line and the sky line Of the elevations
could be seen very distinctly.
1.-The captain and I stood looking at
this spectacle for a long time. Every
little while he would point out some
particular feature Of the mirage and
say: There is Cape So and So. Cape
Flora is about 25 miles the other side,
or some other point along the coast
which I knew."-Brooklyn Eagle.

A Smooth Article.


A countryman whose general ap-
pearance branded him of the way
back type, stepped into State street
hotel at 9.15 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, and going up to the proprietor
who was at the desk, asked If man
named Charley Mccarthy boarded
there.
The hotel keeper scanned the list OF
regular boarders and then replied In
the negative.
That's funny" remarked the coun-
tryman, a half frightened expression
coming into his face, "the man I'm
talking about told me he had boarded
here for years"
"I guess he was 'stringing' you." re-
marked the proprietor, for know
any one who has boarded here for any
length Of time"
The stranger then told the following
story:
81 live out near Willimantic and
met this fellow, who said he was out
buying cattle for the Hartford mar
kets. He had bought quite a lot and
wanted to buy two or three more and
he wanted to borrow 800. He had
an honest face and let him have the
money. He promised to meet me
here at 10 O'Clock"
.. well, / guess you had better give
up hopes Of seeing Mccarthy. In all
probability he was a crook" said the
hotel man.
Then an argument ensued, the
stranger reiterating his ability to read
an honest face, and the hotel man In
sisting on the probability Of McCar-
thy being a crook. The upshot of 1t
all was that a bet OF 800 was made
on the appearance Of Mccarthy.
The money was staked at about $50
o'clock, and two minutes before the
hour a man rushed in, greeted the
countryman cordially, and handed him
500, thanking him for the loan.
WELL" said the countryman, i
guess / win. I thought could read
human nature"
The hotel man realized that he had
been trapped, but he handed the mon
ey over to the winner with this IN
junction: You're slick, but just get
out Of here as quick as you can or I'll
break every bone in your bodies

DEEP GOLD MNEs.-The deepest
gold mine is still to be credited to
Bendigo, in Victoria, Australia, al
though the time Is coming when the
Rand, South Africa, will claim the
record. For the present the Victoria
quartz mine, at Bendigo, has probed
deeper into the earth than any other
digging after gold; work is now going
on in this mine at 1850 feet, a winze
having been sunk $50 feet below the
lowest level, at 300 feet. Among its
neighbors the Victoria quartz mine has
the New Chum railway. with work
proceeding at 1856 feet, and the New
Chun Consolidated, 1858 feet. The
celebrated "1S0" mine. the property Of
George Lansell and long the deepest
gold mine in the world, is being ex-
plotted at $3.50 feet, although the shaft
itself Is 200 feet deeper.-Mining and

Apache Relates Legend Which kc

Apache Relates Legend Which kc-
counts for His Peoples Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces, told this little le-
gepd:
Long ago, when men were weak
and animals were big and strong, a
chief of the red men who lived in
these mountains went out to get q
teer, for his people were hungry.
After walking all day he saw a
seer and shot at 1t, but the arrow
was turned aside and wounded q
mountain lion, which was also after
the deer When the lion felt the sting
Of the arrow he jumped up and bound.
ed after the man. who ran for his life.
"He was almost exhausted and.
when he felt his strength giving way.
he fell to the ground, calling on the
big bear who. you know, Is the grand.
father CT men. to save him.
THE big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly. so he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the man.
Now. You must know that no ami.
NAL will eat of the bear or taste OF
his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away. but as he did so his foot
scraped the face of the man, leaving
the marks of his claws on the blood
smeared face.
When the man found that he was
uninjured he was SO thankful that he
left the blood dry on his face and
never washed it at all. but left 1t until
1t peeled off.
Where the claws OF the lion
scraped II off there were marks that
turned brown In the sun. and where
the blood stayed on 1t was lighter.
Now all men paint their faces that
way with blood and serape 1t off In
streaks when they hunt or go to war"

Turks and Russians.

Turks and Russians is game play.
ed by two persons with slate and pen
ell. About a quarter of the slate Is
marked off by line at each end, and
in each Of the compartments 50
marked off are made q number OF
dots about the size of a pinhead, those
at one end representing Turks and
the other Russians. The number of
Turks and Russians may be large or
small, as agreed on, but must be
equal. At one end of each compart-
ment is small square which serves
as battery. Each player, in turn,
places the point of his pencil in his
own battery, and then draws line
quickly in the direction of his
enemy's men. This line must have
no angles in 1t, but must be straight
or curved. Those dots through which
the line passes are considered dead
men, and he who first kills all of the
enemy's men is the winner. Some,
times the players are required to shut
their eyes or turn away their heads,
when drawing their lines.

and the one having removed the larg-

Another simple but amusing pastime
is to have ring hung from the chan
