from Maine, a civil engineer, whose
business was in the far west. Com
PEELED to separate soon after the en-
gagement, 1000 miles soon divided the
two lovers. Business duties called the
man away. but frequent letters helped
to shorten the months Of separation.
Turning her attention to cooking, this
girl of almost unlimited wealth soon
proved her devotion to her absent lover
by mastering the difficulties OF cook
ing in anticipation Of that happy time
when she should have home OF her
own. Triumphantly she wrote her
lover, Il can make lemon pie, custard
pie and Washington pie all myself!
Then did this man from Maine and the

his home state most vigorously and

DEEP SEA ANIMALS.
How Those Who Live Below All
Vegetation Get Their Food.

Vegetation Get Their Food.
NATURALLY the fish of the deep por-
lions of the ocean are carnivorOus, no
vegetable life being found below 200
fathoms," writes w. S. Harwood in
Harper's Magazine. I'm the Atlantic
ocean the vast Sargasso sea, containing
100000 square miles of surface-a
great marine prairie as large as the
whole of the United States exclusive of
Alaska and dependent islands-afords
vegetable food for uncountable ami
mails, which In their due time die and
are precipitated to the depths, their
bodies in turn to be eaten by the ami
mails which live far below all vegeta-
ton. So it is throughout the whole
ocean; animal life is constantly falling
from the surface waters for the sup
port of the animal life Of the abyss. A
very large number of the deep sea an
imals are exceedingly tenuous or trans
lucent in form-so to put it-having no
special organs Of nutrition, but taking
in their nourishment through the walls
Of their bodies, appropriating from the
water the food which suits them. Some
Of them have bony structure, skele-
ton, which they form also from the
water, silica and carbonate of lime be-
ing the chief skeleton forming mate
rails"

AFRICAN SANDSTORMS.
The Conditions Which Bring About
These Deadly Blasts.

The Conditions Which Bring About
These Deadly Blasts.
The sandstorms of African deserts
are caused by the great power Of the
suns rays, the extreme dryness Of the
air and the small conducting power of
the sand The superficial layers of
sand in the deserts Of Africa and
Arabia often become heated to 200 de-
grees F. to a depth Of several inches.
The air resting on this hot sand be-
comes also greatly heated, thus causing
ascending currents. AS a result air
flows in from all sides. and different
currents meeting. cyclones are formed,
which are swept onward by the wind
prevailing at the time Since the tenn
perature Of the air, originally high, is
still further raised by the heated grains
Of sand with which it is loaded, it
rapidly increases to most intolerable
degree In the shade it has been known
to reach 126 degrees. 1t is to the parch-
ing dryness of this wind. it's glowing
heat and its choking dust and not. as is
sometimes supposed, to any poisonous
qualities it possesses that it's destruc-
tive effects On animal life are to be
ascribed The effects of sandstOrms
are most terrible, large caravans being
frequently overwhelmed and destroyed
by them. 1t was by their agency that
the armies of Cambyses and Sen
nacherib were annihilated

when Horace Greeley was first mar
tied and brought his bride home on a
VISIT" said an old acquaintance, "a
sugar party was given in their honor on
q neighboring farm. All the guests
had arrived, and we were looking out
watching for the belated bride and
groom. At last we saw something ap-
pearing in the distance. AS this same
object came nearer we discovered it
was the old white horse Of the Gree
legs slowly picking his way through
the mud. On his back sat the bride
in a brilliant yellow frock. with a
green velvet belt, aGd behind her.
wrapped in his famous white over
coat, sat the editor Of the New York
Tribune. 1t was the funniest sight
ever saw and set us off in fits Of
laughing / remember that l simply
lay down and rolled upon the floor In
q spasm Of mirth.
"Mr. Greeley came home every year
and after a day or two on the farm
would start out to walk miles and
call on people. He was never known
to knock at a farmhouse door. No
matter whether he knew the inmates
or not he would push open the door,
walk right in, sit down by the fire
place and fall to discussing crops and
other topics dear to the farmers
heart Everybody was glad to well
come this gentle, brusque intruder"

THE STARFlSH.

This Peculiar Creature Can Neither
See, Hear Nor Smell.
Unlike man, the starfish which loses
one Of it's "arms." or properly its rays,
grows new one to take its place. Tn.
der certain conditions it grows two TO
take the place of one. A starfish NAV
lose all its rays without losing its life.
and very often a cripple with but SIN
gle ray left is found by fishermen and
collectors. When completely broken In
two the starfish becomes two distinct
fish, and the growing process contin-
ues. The brittle starfish, it is believed.
In many instances breaks off it's own
rays at the approach Of danger For
this reason it is difficult to obtain per-
feet specimen.
A starfish can neither see nor hear.
Neither has it the sense of smell. In
spite of these seeming impedments,
nevertheless, it seeks and devours its
prey as neatly as an ordinary fish. The
"arms," or rays, completely about it.
Then it pushes it's stomach out through
it's mouth and will wrap even a large
oyster and shell within the folds of the
stomach. The mouth of the starfish Is
in the center of its rays.
Some great ships are today employed
almost wholly in seeking for starfish
specimens in deep seas, and there are
hundreds Of men who spend a portion
Of their time in collecting starfish in
the interests Of science. Many Of the
specimens collected by ships are taken
from depths of one and even two miles.

JALlsco SCHEME NOT so ROSY

ico-Conditions Bad

Several Walla Wallans Who pur-
chased certificates emitting them to a
lot or plot of ground in the new town.
site of Jalisco, Mexico, are wondering
gold brick of verdant hue. The pur-
chasers upon paying $25 were given a
certificate for one parcel of ground in
the new town. On May 25 grand
drawing is to take place at which time
each holder of a certificate will get, it
is said, will get what his number calls
for. 1t may be a 3O-foot lot or 1000
acre tract right in the business Sec
ton.
A representative of the company
has been in Walla Walla several
months selling lots in the new town
and it is said he has succeeded in in
teresting nearly 100 people. 1t has
been represented that Jalisco is a
thriving town on a proposed railroad
from San Geronimo to Panama and
was reported to have a fine harbor, a
big hotel, fertile land and electric
light plant and other improvements.
The expose came when a number of
Seattle investors sent representa-
tive to Jalisco, who found that the
town was merely a station Is miles
from the coast. The station is on the
railroad, but the stories of the great
number of Improvements and fertility
Of the soil are greatly overdrawn. The
Seattle representative has now gone
to the City of Mexico to interview the
American ambassador in an endeavor
to have the promoters Of the townsite
scheme put out of business. While in
Jalisco the representative talked with
President Martin of the townsite COM
pany in an effort to have some of the
Seattle money returned, but met with
no success.
