Jus, which is almost unknown to sci- ence, for the excellent reason that no specimen of it can ever be preserved. It inhabits the deepest places of the lake. living under the pressure Of an immense body of water. When it is brought to the surface it falls to pieces in the fresh air and .nelts in the sun. This is why nobody ever saw living specimen It is about three feet long, the head occupying 8 third of its en- tire length. The eyes are uncommon ly large and protruding, and fins are attached to each side of the body from the gills to the tail.
 But the dracunculus is only one of the many queer things connected with Lake Baikal which make it one of the strangest bodies of water in the world. Although it is situated over 1.500 feet above sea level it's bottom in the deep est places is much lower than the bed of the ocean. It has been sounded to a depth of 31S5 feet, but there are tre- mendous cavities which have never yet been measured by the plummet and probably never will be.
 curious kind of wax is found floating upon its waters at certain sea- sons of the year, which possesses uni- que medicinal value in many ailments, and is largely used by the native tribes and by Russian physicians. Springs of pure petroleum are found occasionally at certain points near shore, bubbling LID in the water, nd nobody can tell how they came there. Indeed, it would require book to tell all the queer things about this wonderful lake It's name is corruption of the Mongol phrase "Bai Kul," meaning Rich sea, !" but 1t is more frequently called Dalai Nor C'Holy sea') by the native tribes.
 The cold is more intense on the sur face of Lake BailSal than in any other part of Siberia. In winter the ther- mometer is almost constantly below ze- TO and frequently falls 40 or 50 degrees below, but equally low temperature may be endured elsewhere without ab- ] sclute hardship provided proper pre- cautions in the way of clothing and food are taken. But nothing seems able to keep out the cold on Lake Baikal.- New York Evening Post.

How Poker Man Was Victimized by a
 Card Seller.
 For the twentieth time the Brooklyn man who ran the poker room shook his head.
 But why?" persisted the agent for a playing card concern. Isn't the price right ?''
 ''Yes, the price is right"
 Then perhaps the cards don't suit you. Whats wrong with 'em?"
 Nothing. They are as good cards as I I ever saw"
 Then why not give me an order?" de- manded the agent.
 "I'll tell you why,' the old gambler replied Now, when I want cards I go to store. They cost me little more than they would if I bought them from one of you fellows, bnt--well, I don't say you ain't all right on the square, but I had an experience once with a man who said he represented playing card house that cost me five thousand dollars, so now I aint taking any chances. He came in and gave me his card. He said he represented house I had heard of often. He opened up a grip and showed me lot of the finest cards ever saW-ivory finish, stiff and i strong.

New Mexico Of Course

Now that Utah and Kansas have
shown a disposition not to receive the
miners deported from distributed Co
dorado camps New Mexico is to be
made the haven for them.
According to the Denver Post a new
mining camp will be opened in New
Mexico near Tres Piedras, 20 miles
south Of the Colorado line by the West
ern Federation OF Miners who will
work the claim on a cooperative basis
and will have entire jurisdiction oyer
all development. This camp will re.
ceise the deported miners from the
Cripple Creek district who will be sup.
ported by the Federation while they
are prospecting. In New Mexico the
exiled men would be amenable to the
civil laws only, which Is an attractive
feature Of the proposition. Governor
Peabody has been asked to order Gen.
eral Bell to send all miners deportsd
in future to New Mexico and II is said
that he approves the plan.

The Gospel
Pure Air

Christine Terhune Herrick writes as
follows on a subject that is becoming
every day a o lively one:
The fresh air fashion has ceased
to be a fad. Everywhere people are
learning the value of a life in the
open air and are proving for them
selves what even a few weeks OF
roughing out Of doors will do. n
comlolete change of habit aids the
fresh air to get in its good work and
Ii is not necessary for the tired toiler
to take a long costly trip in order to
make a total variety IN the habits Q
daily life. Farmers wives have found
out that there is benefit to be deriv
ed from leaving home for a few days
and camping down at some place a
few miles from the farm. Busy city
workers who cannot afford To- take
themselves and their families to dis
tant rural. spots have discovered that
a tent or a cabin within a short ride
of town, near enough for the business
men 10 go back and forth to work
on their wheels, is not to be despised
as a means OF getting the change
that everyone should have in the
course of the year.
Perhaps men have more nf the ma
tive wood dweller in their composition
than women, but they never seem
to have much difficulty in adapting
themselves to the lack Of home con.
~veniences and comforts during i
camping out period. Possibly that is
because they have less of tan wetS
Of the n%uryeying to do. Children, too,
enjoy This sort of life and are neref
hanniar than when enduring some
small priyatien that makes them feel
thar they are leaains a truly wild OK.

LOCKS HER CREDITOR UP
The Costly Trick Of an Impecunious
French Countess.

When 1t comes to dealing with i'm,
Fortunate creditors there is a woman
in this city, says Paris report, GER
tain countess, who Is none too prompt
in making settlement of her bills who
can give points to others who want to
dodge their creditors.
Madam la comtesse, 1t happened
was giving one Of the receptions for
which she is famous. Her drawing
room was filled with distinguished
guests. Just at the height of the fes-
tivities maid held a whispered con-
ference with her ladyship. She was
told that a woman was posted out in
the hall and would not leave until she
had been paid. She was a gownmaker
and she wanted her money without
further delay The insistent creditor
grew irate and raised her voice to such
high pitch that the countess feared
her guests might hear what was go
ing on. Being a woman of wit and
having well-developed muscles, she
seized the collector, pushed her into
small closet and locked her up.
There the collector was kept for more
than an hour BY that time the guests
had all taken their departure. But the
momnt she set her prisoner free the
collector complained to the police. She
also demanded damages and in court
she was awarded a verdict Of $40 for
the injury done to her feelings. The
court also gave the gownmaker JUDI

AXLES AS WHISKEY KEGS
One Method OF Peddling Liquor in the
Indian Territory.

An entirely new scheme OF whisky
peddling has just been discovered in
the Indian Territory. says the Topeka
Capital, and it seems to have been go
ing on for months. The officers Of the
district northwest of Herbert have
known for some time that whisky was
being sold to various parties, but not
until recently were the peddlers caught.
They had travelled around the country
in an old wagon drawn by a poor span
of Indian ponies and were, presumably,
buying eggs and poultry. They would
sell small bottles of liquor to farmers
and Indians through the neighborhood
and one dollar a pint was the usual
price. The officers discovered that
both axles of the old wagon were of
iron and very large. These axles were
hollow and would hold about four gall
Ions each. The peddlers would remove
small bolt and insert pump and
draw the desired amount of whisky
One of the peddlers admits having
sold whisky in this way for five
months. and has made enough money
to buy a farm in Texas. He says he
will serve his time in jail and then

SEIZED
Creditors Attach Goods OF
John Marks, the Alleged
Missing Murderer.

Colchester, April 16-Attachments
We're placed to-day on farming tools,
stock and other property of John Marx
on whose farm the dismembered body
of his farmland, Joseph Pavell, was
found last week. The attachments
are in favor of local creditors, to cover
bills for goods furnished. The search
for Marx in this neighborhood was
continued to-day under the direction
OF Sheriff Jackson who still clings to
the belief that the man is I'M
hiding hereabouts, and that the
man whom Selectman Henry Austin
of Marlborough drove from Marlbor-
ough to East Hartford last Sunday
was not Marx.
Ihe Marx farm is now occupied only
by keeper, Mrs Marx and her five
children having been removed to an
other place. This removal was by
order of Coroner Brown, who has had
the woman under surveillance as q
witness since the tragedy was discoy-
cred. The reason given for her re-
moval is to provide her and her chill
dren with more comfortable quarters
than the Marx farm affords. The fam
ily are now being cared for by the se>
lectmen of the town, but the authors
ties do not say just where they have
been taken.
