STRANGE AUSTRIAN LAKE.
Its Waters MarveIonsIy Disappear and
Reappear.

Around the head of the Gnlf OF Tri
este, in the southern part of Austria,
and extending across the base OF The
Istrian peninsula, is plateau of lime
stone which presents some peculiar
phenomena.
Full grown rivers issne from it's sides.
ldisappear under other hills. to reap
pear later at some distant point. Mys
tefious springs rise through the bottom
of the bay of Trieste. in times of heavy
rainfall bnbbling up with violence
sufficient TO endanger small craft. In
the heart of Cherso Island, which is
in the middle of the Gulf of Quarnero.
is the lake of Vrana. 1t is surrounded
entirely of bills, and lies in basin said
to be forty five fathoms deep. The
level of the water is reputed to be at
least forty feet below the level of the
sea about the island. 1t has no appar-
ent affiuent or effluent, yet the waters
are always fresh and cool. 1t is be
lieved the lake is fed by some subter
ranean passage, leading out under the
bay from the Istrian Alpe, possibly
from Monte Maggiors ITSELF.
Some distance to the northward is
lake which disappears for weeks at a
time. This sheet of water, known as
the Lake of Kirknitz, is about four
miles long and about two to three miles
broad. Villages, chapels and castles
are reflected in it's waters. Frequent
ly in July, although not exery year,
the waters begin to disappear, and in
August the bed, fifty feet below the
surface at some points at times grad
ually appears. From twenty to TWEEN
ty-five days are required for the entire
lake to be discharged. When the bed
is revealed the peasants plant crops of
barley where only short time before
they were drawing their nets. The bed
remains uncovered sometimes for many
weeks. The peasants gather their bar
ley and hay from the bottom In the
meantime. Then, with rush, the
waters return, the basin being relilled
sometimes in period of twenty-f0ur
hours.
The limestone which forms the bed
is perforated with vast number of
caverns and fissures. Nearly thirty
of these are visible. They are funnel
oh ,ned apd some of them are fifty feet
deep. The peasants give them names,
sach as the Kettle, the Sieve, etc.
There are twenty-eight openings,
which draw water off, only twelve of
which both draw off and discharge
water. They connect with caverns
and subterranean passages penetrating
beneath the surrounding mountains.
In this neighbOrhood also is the
Grotto of Adelsberg, the largest known
cavern in Europe, and one of the most
beautiful in the world. 1t has been
explored for distance of four or five
miles. Through portion of it flows
the river Polk. which takes this sub
terranean method of reaching it's des-
tination.
Besides the fantastic caves and
grottoes are deep pits, varying in di
aneter from few feet to several miles,
some of them having forests and agri-
cultural lands at their bottoms.-N

The Quality of Feeders.

Men that select cattle for feeding pur-
poses find that the animals that give the
pest results are those that have in them
4 large proportion of the blood of some
one of the improved beef breeds. In
other words, the grades of any one OF the
beef breeds are far superior to monde
scripts and scrubs. The more improved
blood in an animal the better the animal

AS to fear in battle, we all had an
attack Of nerves" now and then even
up to the colonels, but as for being
downright scared | had a couple Of
experiences | will tell you about. II
/ hadn't been alone at the time l
should have probably been drummed
out of the army for cOwardice. There
was one thing I dreaded more than q
battle, and that was standing on picket
alone at night.
On the night | have in mind | was
Stationed about enty rods north Of a
leg cabin occupied by a farmers fam
ily. and the Confederate picket Vas
supposed to be about the same dis
tance on the other side. | was not on
the highway, but in Il fringe of bushes
along one line of an old field. 1t was
Il darkish night in autumn, with i
breeze kicking up a shindy all around,
and when WAS told to fall out at
Post No 8 and keep my eyes anC ears
open | get h0mesick ut once.
The first thing did was to move
along The fringe about thirty feet and
then lie fiat down | could see out
across the field in the direction of the
house and the Confederate picket,
though but dialy. There was No light
in the house, and no sounds came
from it.
l hadn't been on post thirty minutes
when had regular attack of
nerves | didn't realize it until I
found myself chattering and trembling
and half crying, and then got up and
kicked myself and did some tall swear
ing. | fully realized that | had to
break the spell or bolt, and there was
a hard fight before l got the better of
my nerves. | was feeling much easier
and was thinking of going back to the
spot where | was first posted when |
suddenly caught a sound which jump
ed my heart into my mouth and shook
me from head to foot with chill
I saw figure and knew that some
one had stood within arms length Of
me, but had my life depended on it I
could not have raised finger. choked
up and gasped for breath, and it seem
ed as if l waited for hours to be at
tackled. 1t slowly dawned upon me as
| waited for a blow that it was vo-
mans figure, and after making half
dozen efforts to do so I managed to
ask who was there and what was
wanted.
1t was we'll for that woman-for
woman it was-that vas unnerved
by my fears. There was spring
within a few feet Of me, though I had
not been told of it, and she had come
down from the house for water for
one Of her sick children She did not
know the exact location of the post,
and instead of making her presence
known and escaping all peril she had
come silently along and escaped death
simply because | was unnerved.
When | came to discover who it was
in front of me I was that weak that
I had to Sit down on the ground, and

the woman went back to the house
trembling in every limb I never
should have got over the remorse Of
it If | had shot her down in the dark
ness, nor could have hoped that her
children would ever have forgiven me.
At another time, about a year later,
l had post in an old cotton field It
wasn't open ground as much as it was
bushes, and along the south front Of
it was fallen tree. Here was the
post, and crouched down behind the
tree, with my head just above it, I
could sean the ground between the
Confedera tes and my burrow.

an hour the night thckened up with

preparing to leave, Col Grayson ar
rived with companies of the First
Regiment.
Col. Wooten: Did you see any bay
onets used on the mob. or any guns
clubbed?'
Capt. Hitch: II did not see any
bayonets actually used. but saw some
of the men use the butt of their
guns Lieut. McIntire told me that

sit Would Have Been Murder"
Il would have considered it murder
to fire into the crowded corridor, as
officers peaceable citizens and lawyers
were mingling with the mob all the
time
Col. Brooks: Did you exhort all
peaceable citizens to leave the mob?"
Capt. Hitch: Il do not know what
language 1 used. l threatened and
argued"
Col. Brooks: "You did not try to
load?"
capt. Hitch: mo. for I felt that
firing would have resulted disastrous
ly."
Col. Brooks: Did not Lieut.. Nc
Intire have his men load without dis
dstrous results?"
Capt. Hitch: Eyes, so he told me.
My orders were to be interpreted lib
orally. There was plenty of room for
the men to retreat and still have as
good a position for defense as before.
The mob must cross a corridor and
could have been picked off easily
There were enough men inside the
prisoners room to have kept back the
mob in the last resort. They would
hove done it except for the conduct Of
the sheriff. Up to the time l was seiz-
ed 1 did not think the time had come
for firing"
send DR.. Morrison, why could you not
have sent for Lieut.. Nell at, the guard
house."
Capt Hitch: Because it was i'm
possible for me to think of everything
that could be done"
Wanted MeIIs Detail.
Col. Wooten: Did you not realize
that you had about forty men down
there?"
Capt. Hitch: Eyes, and was pray
ing that they might come up"
Col. Wooten: Gould not the yelling
have been heard at the guard house 2"
Capt. Hitch: Yes it could have
been heard for a mile"
Col. Barker: Did you ask the re-
porters for any information"
Capt. Hitch: Il do not remember
l talked to one of them, but got no
information, and did not see a news
| paper until after the lynching."
Capt. Hitch took occasion to de-
| nounce certain reports to the effect
| that the men had no ammunition, and
that they were ordered not to use their
| bayonets as absolutely false and un-
| true. The Savannah men had about
twenty rounds each.
He was asked if the placing of a
| Gordon about the Court House would
have prevented the lynching. Capt
Hitch replied that this was a matter
| of opinion. though he believed such
I. action would have precipitated trou-
BILE. Many of the mob came out of
| the court room.
When asked to estimate the crowd,
| Capt. Hitch said that there were from
| $500 to 5000 on Monday, and about
half that number on Tuesday. From
| one to two thousand men were in the
corridors and about the Court House,
| some as pacifiers.
At this point an adjournment was
taken until 4 o'clock for dinner.
