STRANGE AUSTRIAN LAKE
It's Waters Marvelously Disappear and
Reappear.

From the New York Tribune.
Around the head of the Gulf Of Trieste, in
the southern part Of Austria. and extend
ing across the base Of the Istrian penin-
sula, Is plateau of limestone which pre-
sents some peculiar phenomena.
Full grown rivers Issue from its sides,
disappear under other hills, to reappear
later at some distant point Mysterious
springs rise through the bottom of the bay
Of Trieste. in times of heavy rainfall bub-
bling up with violence sufficient to en-
danger 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 by hills. and lies in a
basin said to be forty-five fathoms Deep
The level of the water is reDuted to be at
least forty feet below the level OF the sea
about the island. It has no apparent af-
fluent or eff1uent. yet the waters are al
ways fresh and cool. 1t is believed the lake
is fed by some subterranean passage, lead
ing out under the bay from the 1strian
Alps, possibly from Monte Maggiore ITSELF
Some distance to the nOrthward Is lake
which disappears for weeks at a time
This sheet of water. known as the Lake
Of Zirknitz is about four mile long and
from two to three miles broad. Villages,
chapels and castles are reflected in its
waters. Frequently in July, although not
every year, the waters begin to disappear,
and In August the bed. fifty feet below
the surface at some points at tlmeS graQu-
ally appears From twenty to twenty-five
days are required for the entire lake to be

sometimes In period of twentyfour hours
The limestone which forms the bed Is per-
forated with vast number of caverns and
assures. Nearly thirty of these are visible.
They are funnel shaped. and some of them
are fifty feet deep. The peasants give
them names, such 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 subter-
ranean passages penetrating beneath the
surrounding mountains.
In this neighborhood also is the Grotto OF
Adelsberg, the largest known cavern in Eu-
rope, and one of the most beautiful In the
world. 1t has been explored for distance
of four or five miles. Through a portion Of
1t flows the river Polk, which takes this sub
terranean method Of reaching its destina-
ton.
Besides the fantastic caves and grottos
are deep pits, varying in diameter from
few feet to several miles. some of them
having forests and agricultural lands at
their bottoms.

found in the standard feeds coming M

In visiting many herds and focks I
have been most strongly Impressed
with the fact that there is no uniformity
OF type IN them. Each man has all sorts
OF types and kinds in his herd or flock,
says Prof. G. E. Day, of Guelph. The
result is that they breed up a flock or
herd that will never be of any use in
the country. Each young breeder, and
old one, too, for that matter, must find
out what is the right type; then set
this up as an ideal and work to it, You
cannot reach your ideal at once. 1t
may take ten, fifteen, twenty or even
forty years to do Sc and perhaps you
may never reach it, but keep 1t ever
before you, never lose sight Of it for
an instant, nor let anything else drive
1t away You will find that the man
VINO makes a success of breeding is he
who sticks to his ideal with, as it were,
a bulldog tenacity, and though he may
not become famous, he will at least
make a name for himself in his sphere

as possible. Some breeds Of hogs come
nearer that type than others. In
Judging OF the length of a hog it is not
enough that he should be long from the
nose to the tail, but it is of special i'm
portance that he should be long between
shoulder and ham. 1 have heard some
people say that it costs more to pro-
duce the bacon type of hog than the fat

encouragement-it has never been
proved that it does cost more. Our ex-
perlments show very conclusively that
II does not necessarily cost more to pro-

bacon hog is an economical producer.

DR.. Williamson swears.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. 1sth.-Last week
q statement was published from Leland
Williamson, M. D., of this place, to the
effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best medicine for all Kidney Diseases and
that he uses them with uniform success
in his daily practice.
No one who knows DIR. Williamson will
doubt for a moment the complete truth
of his fearless declaration, but to COM
pletely elinch the matter in the minds of
those who may not have the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance with this celebrated
physician, DR.. Williamson has appeared
before Mr.. H. E. Greene, j. 2. for Mont
gomery county, and made a sworn state
ment.
In this sworn statement the doctor has
cited a number of cases which have been
completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Here is case No. l:
Henry Hall, Sr.. age 4s, an American,
attacked with Malaria ,Haematuria or

~rafters, use two by four-inch pine
scantlings, and place them in pairs four
feet apart. Across the rafters lay pine
scantlings two by four inches, three to
four feet apart. For the roof, use one by
ten-inch selected boards, as free as
possible from cracks and bad knots.
Straighten the edges OF the boards so
they will join as nearly as possible.
On the top and down the length of
each board, about one-half inch
from each edge, sink two grooves as
indicated at d. The grooves should be
one-half inch wide and fve-sixteenths
deep. The side of each groove next the
edge is left square as shown. The
grooves can be re~adiiyTmade by using a
panel and then a rabbet plane, Over
the grooves of adjoining planks a bat
ten, three to four inches wide, should
be carefully nailed, as at e. When nail
ing the roof boards, drive the nails as
shown at +. Never drive a nail in the
soft seams OF hard pine. Cut the seams
as nearly as possible at right angles;
see 6.
Much labor may be saved by painting
the roof boards before mailing them in
place. Give them at least one good coat
of Venetian red mixed in boiled linseed
Oil. The battens should be painted on all
sides.
Such a building can be put IN with
5000 feet of lumber, which should no
cost more than 500. Cisterns, cutters
and conductors can be added for the
same amount. Woodruff, in Farm
