whx Leares rurn Rrown.

The green matter in the tissues Of a
leaf is composed Of two colors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow in
the autumn the natural growth of the
tree is retarded, and oxidation of the
tissues takes place. Under certain con-
ditions the green of the leaf changes to
red. Under different aspects it takes
on a yellow or brown hue. The differ
ence in color is due to the difference in
combinations of the original constitu-
ents of the green tissues and to the
varying condition Of climate, exposure
and soil. Naples and oaks have the
brightest color.

IT begins to look as If Russia was
due for an attack OF internal troubles.
The lessons learned of the war do
not seem to be sufficient. The car
once gave evidence of broad minded
reforms, but the dukes and duchess
es and other parasites that have
nearly ruined that country have in
duced the car to refuse about all be
ono. promised. The result is that at
Moscow and st Petersburg workmen
10 all lines have gone on a strike that
seems to be more along political
lines, One thing is noticeable, aud
that is the fact that the Russian
masses dare to make demands and
demonstrations to-day that would
have landed them in Siberia a few
years ago. The Russian parasites
would like to send the leaders there
now, but they do not dare TO take
the step. This trouble may be set
tied without bringing about any
material change, but it will only
break out again on a larger scale.
The mass of the Russian people are
patriotic; they love their country,
aud will stand by almost any sys-
tenn of Russian government, but
there is a limit to the amount of per-
secution and robbery they will stand
at the hands of the Bureaucracy.
That limit has been reached.

STRANGE AUSTRIAN LAKE.
Its Waters MarveIously Disappear and
Reappear.


New York Tribune: Around the head of
the Gulf of Trieste, in the southern part
Of Austria, and extending across the base
of the Istrian peninsula, is a plateau OK
limestone which presents some peculiar
phenomena.
Full grown rivers issue from its sides.
disappear under other hills, TO e@ppear
later at some distant point. Mysterious
springs rise through the bottom OF toe
bay of Trieste. in times of heavy rainfall
bubbling up with a violence sufficient 10
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 by hills, and lies
In a basin sad 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 APP
parent afnuent or e%ffuent, yet the waters
are always fresh and cool. 1t Is believed
the lake is fed by some subterranean pas
sage, leading out under the bay from the
Istrian Alps, possibly from Monte Mag
giore itself.
Some distance to the northward is a lake
which disappears for weeks at a time.
This sheet OF water, known as the Lake
of Zirknitz. is about four miles long and
from two to three miles broad. villages.
chapels and castles are reflected in It's wa
ters. Frequently in July, although not.
every year, the waters begin to disa appear.
and in August the bed, nifty feet below
the surface at some points at times sradu-
ally appears. From twenty TO twenty-five
days are required for the entire lake to
be discharged. When the bed is revealed
the peasants plant crops of barley where
only a short time before they were draw
ing their nets. The bed remains uncovered
sometimes for many weeks. The peasants
gather their barley and hay from the
bottom in the meantime. Then, with a
rush, the waters return. the basin being
reflled sometimes in a period OF twenty
four hours.
The limestone which forms the bed If
perforated with a vast number OF cav
ems 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 drow off and
discharge water. They cannect with cav-
erns and subterranean passages penetrate
ing beneath the surrounding mountains.
In this neighborhood also is the Gr0tto
OF Adelsberg, the largest known cavern
III Europe, and one of the most beautiful
in the world. 1t has been explored for a
distance of four or five miles. Through
a portion OF it flows the river Polk, which
takes this subterranean method OF reach
ing its destination.
Besides the fantastic caves and grottos
are deep pits, varying in diameter from
a few feet TO several miles, some of them
having forests and agricultural lands az
their bottoms.
