The great record of the Riley lease
on the Florence, during the last forty
two days, OF which $450,00 was pro-
duced, has been broken by the Hays
Monnette lease on the Mohawk, whic,l

The Greatest of Rivers.

The Amazon is the king Of streams.
From first to last it receives over 1000
tributaries, of which more than 100 are
large sized rivers and rise so far apart
and have their floods and GIBBS at such
different seasons that the Amazon is at
about the same height the year around.
At some points on it's lower course one
bank is invisible from the other. The
beholder seems to be looking on a great
yellow sea Of fresh water. When dis
covered, some tribes Of Indians on the
lower portion knew nothing Of the ex
istence Of the opposite shore and did
not believe that it existed, saying that
''the great river flowed all around the
world" Its mouth, including that of
the Para, is $50 miles in width, and 1t
is navigable for large sized ocean
steamers for 1000 miles from the sea,
and SO vast is the flood that the ocean
is tinged yellow for 400 miles from the
coast of Brazil.

The Achaean League.

The Achaean league was formed by
the twelve towns of Achaea for mu-

sion. 1t was broken up by Alexander
the Great, but recognized 3. G.. $50
and again dissolved B. C. 147. The
second Of these leagues comprised all
the leading cities Of the P~eloponnesus
and, indeed, most of the cities and
states Of Greece. 1t was this league
which contended with the Romans for
the independence of Greece; but, its
troops being defeated by Metellus at
Scarphaea and by Mummius near Cor
NTH, the league was dissolved, and all
Greece submitted to the Roman domi-
nation.

A FEARFUL PEST.
he FerociOus Mosquitoes Tha'
Swarm In Scandinavia.

The FerociOus Mosquitoes That
Swarm In Scandinavia.
Hunters find the mosquitoes a terri
BILE pest in parts of northern Scandina-
via. One writes: 1.-The warmth Of the
sun is rousing u deadly enemies, the
mosquitoes, into active warfare. At
tackled as we are by a few score of
vfciously piping skirmishers from the
mighty host, we have before advancing
to look to the joints Of our harness and
don u gauntlets; then in descending
the long slope toward our bivouac the
scores Of the foe are gradually multi
piled to hundreds, the hundreds to
thousands, the thousands to myriads,
till we are at length enveloped In q
dense cloud Of winged fends. The
horses are q distressing sight. From
nose to tail, from hoof to withers, their
unfortunate bodies are covered with
what might be taken at a casual glance
for gray blanket clothing, but which is
really q textile mass Of seething insect
life, SO closely set that you could not
anywhere put the point of your finger
on the bare hide.
For such small creatures mosquitoes
exhibit an astonishing amount of char
acter and diabolical intelligence. They
dash through smoke, creep under veil
or wristband like a ferret into q rabbit
hole and when they can neither dash
nor creep will bide their time with the
cunning Of a red Indian. We wore
stout dogskin gloves, articles with
which they could have had no previous
acquaintance, and yet they would fol
low each other by hundreds in single
file up and down the seams, trying ev-
cry stitch, in the hope of detecting a
flaw"
And the same writer concludes: 1.-The
problem presents itself, Why are these
vermin so horribly bloodthirsty and so
perfectly formed for sucking blood? 1t
is one of the great mysteries of nature.
On the u~ninhabited stretches of Fin
mark they must as a rule exist on veg
etable diet, the chances of blood so
rarely occur.

BLACK FRIDAY.
The Mad Scene In the Gold Room en-
That Fnteful Occasion.

hA
IL the middle Of the gold room was q
smell fountain. Around this the days
proceedings began, writes 7. Hendrick
In the American Magazine. Jay Gould's
own brokers, pale, haggard, half dis.
trustful and half ashamed of their
work, started the bids. Gold had closed
the day previously at IA. Now a
Gould broker offered 145 for 100000
gold.
His only response were the curses
and fist shakings Of a b~edraggled, per-
spring crowd.
Zone hundred and ~forty-six for $780,
600 gold"
Still there was nc response.
Zone hundred and forty-seven."
Each advancing point meant millions
In profits to Gould and likewise mil
lions in losses to the community. At
every advance the crowds, losing all
restraint, alternately roared and wept.
Zone hundred and forty-eight."
zone hundred and forty-nine."
Above the pandemonium the monot-
onous voices Of the Gould brokers could
be heard, quietly, remorselessly putting
up the price.
Zone hundred and fifty"
Zone hundred and fifty-one."
At this point the buying began. Hith-
erto the crowd had been held magical
~ spellbound. The audacity of the
Gould brokers had paralyzed all. Board
brokers were particularly daZed. In
face Of the clique's demonstrated pow
er no M seemed able to bid, even to
make the feeblest attempt to check the
terrible rise.
A few uptown merchants now, how
ever, started to purchase. Soon the
bidding ~degenerated into panic. Ev-
cry one scrambled to get his gold
now while the price, judged by what
had already happened and the unques-
toned power Of the gang, seemed low.
All purchases, however, meant enor-
nous losses.
Fortunes accumulated through years
of self sacrificing toll were swept away
in a moment. In their craze men ran
aimlessly about the room, moaning,
screaming. vainly appealing for help.
Outside, where the crowds breathlessly
waited announcements, the same enc
were repeated. Ruined men, unable to
get into the building itself, pushed,
cursed and fought. At each rise in the
price the rage against Gould increased.
When the bid reached $50 there were
cries of Lynch! Lynch!'
And meanwhile what was the plotter
of all this mischief doing? He was
selling gold. To whom was he selling?
To Fisk and all his own associates. He
was the only man who really under
stood the s~ituation-who knew, that is,
upon what a tiimsy basis his corner"
rested. He sent Fisk, Belden and
Speyer into the gold room to advance
the price ~ostensibly for the benefit of
the clique, and when it had reached a
certain point unloaded on his own &C
count. He had sold largely, unknown
to his confederates, the day before.
