Unexplained Mystery.

On the estate of Stora Stenby, on Adel-
so, an island in Lake Malar, Sweden
there stands an cid fir tree stump, which
is considered by the natives to be spir-
it tree Small coins and trinkets are
found in hole in the stump and for
years no one has been known to find the
hole empty. A writer in the Wide
World Magazine says he has been there
three times and has found a few coins
each time. The tree stands far from any
dwelling and there is no village on the
island. Snow lies deep round the tree
all winter and NO footmarks are to be
seen IN it and yet one finds the coins
there, apparently without human agen-
~. No one on the island offers any ex-
PLANTATION of the mystery.

RACING WITH PROA BOATS
Than Many Made for
Racing.

The most interesting feature of the
yacht club at Biscayne bay, Fla, is
the number of proas owned by the
members; in no other section is the
building of them carried on and their
use encouraged and practiced, says the
Illustrated News. Until within the last
few years, these fragile craft did not
come practically before yachtsmen. II
was in countries where trade winds
prevail that they were built and sailed,
and We are told by Folkard and 9TH
ers that they have been in use in the
LadroneS and South Sea islands for
several thousands of years.
When we see one of these dainty
craft, "a feet long and only two feet
wide, with an outrigger looking all the
world over like "straddle bug as 70

in mist at the rate of 20 miles an hour,

The proa is the reverse in model Of any
pleasure craft in the country; the hula
is not symmetrical, the sides being IN
equal and of different form. The lee
ward side is fiat from stem to stern,
and acts as a-ieeboard or centerboard,
while the windward is rounded, as in
about ten feet long, has attached at its
outer end a miniature boat, a dainty
replica, six feet in length, CT the par
ent craft. When the proa is sailing
on an even keel it is not an impediment
to speed, and when on the wind it is
sometimes tilted upward to an angle OF

TINS country, De
lieves it possible to transport the pro-
duction from the Metropolitan opera
house in New York to the Auditorium.
1t is said that the great opera, the mas
terpiece which Wagner desired should
never be staged outside of Germany,
could be put on at this largest of CHI
cago theaters with but few alterations
10 the stage. To put the same piece on
in New York it was necessary to prac-
ticaily rebuild the theater at cost of
$4,000, but the expectations of Man
ager Conreid were fully realized, the pub
tic appreciated the production, and it
paid.
The pessimists do not believe the same
piece can be produced profitably in Chi
cago. Grau never found grand opera
in Chicago particularly profitable, and
threatened at several times to cut the
city out of his itinerary. The city's
music lovers are found among the COL
lege students, or the poorer classes, and
it is a notable fact that the balconies
and galleries are more crowded at grand
opera performances than the higher
priced seats on the main floor.

is back in Chicago frequenting the same
clubs that knew him of old, but in a
different capacity. He is now selling
cigarettes to the club stewards, and out
of the business ne makes living.
There have been men in America who
have gotten rid of larger fortunes in
less time than it took BILLY" Camp to
spend his million, but they did not spend
it all. They lost it either at stock
gambling or some other form of spec
uIation. Young Vanderbilt is credited
with 6isposing of nearly half a million
in a New York gambling den in less than
week this winter. But Camp spent
at least the greater part of his money. It
went fer wine, for expensive dinners,
for the2ter parties, for clothes, and a
small part of it at cards. During the
four years of his reign he was a mem
Der of nearly all the exclusive clubs of
Chicago. At all of them, and at the
more fashionable hotels, he gave ex-
pensive dinner parties. He maintained
an elaborate home in the city, where his
first wife presided over a small regi-
ment of servants. But his wife like his
friends, left him when the million was
gone. He married again, but he married
as poor man, and now claims to be en-
joying his first taste of real happiness.
Camp is to-day 30 years cid. He be-
gan his career of spendthrift at the
| death OF his father, one Of the firm OF
Estey & Camp, organ manufacturers,
from whom he inherited an even mill
| lion, eight years ago. He has been sell
ing cigarettes four years, and has made
it win. AS salesman he has been sue
cessful, and he says he is getting more
enjoyment out Of his present modest in
come than he did out of the 81 ,0O0, 900 he
spent in four years.

An Immense Egg.

The egg Of the aepyornis, recently
purchased for the United States Ma
tional museum, is probably the largest
egg in existence. 1t is IL inches long
and ten inches wide, and its shell is
nearly a quarter of an inch thick, and
as hard as a rock. Its size may per-
haps be better understood when it Is
stated that it is capable of holding the
contents of six ostrich eggs, or 14S
hens eggs, or 300, 200 humming birds

nations, have rec

ogniZed the value OF
vested choirs as attractions. Though
aside from the Episcopalians, there are
but few of the Protestant church which
employ youthful singers as feature OF
their music, many of them have gotten
away from the idea of utilizing a quar-
tette of trained voices exclusive OF all
other singing, and while the ouartettes
are still utilized, they are, as a rule, but
leaders for either congregational or gen.
eral choir singing.
Both the Catholic and Episcopal
churches have found the public prefer
volume to quality. 1t is the exceptional
,church-goer who prefers the highly
trained soloist TO the harmony produced
by a large choir, even though only fair
~ proficient The Episcopal churches
have, as a rule, retained the boys in their
choirs, but many of the Catholic
churches, except for special church fes-
tival occasions, had instituted girl
choirs, but to comply with the order
from Rome the girls have now given
place to boys. The Gregorian method is
too heavy for the girls voices.
One of the most notable choirS of Chi
cago is that of Dowie's Christian Cath
Ollie church, consisting of 1000 voices.
During the months that Dowfe held
services in the Auditorium theater each
Sunday afternoon, this choir was far
greater drawing card than the sermons
of the general overseer. 1t now sings
each Sunday in the temple at Zion City.

Chicago is that, as a rule, but one ordi-

some three weeks at that time every po-

building into the street. To be caught
at that time in the violation Of this i'm

is forgotten, and but a day Or two ago
I saw one of the guardians of the peace
pass a pleasant good morning with a
bartender of a levee saloon as the dis
penser of drinks poured the accumulated
Stops of his bar over the sidewalk.
Nothing was thought of it, for the rea-
son that that particular ordinance was
not up for enforcement at the present
time.

The company has hard wood land
enough in Alabama alone to keep it
in timber for the next five years and
under the new organization some of
the largest turpentine operators in
this state became stockholders in it
and it is very strong concern.
