THE DESERT MIRAGE.
An Explanation of This Peculiar Freak
of Nature.

An Explanation Of This Peculiar Freak
of Nature.
One of natures true wonders-one
upon which much has been written,
but which is yet not understood when
its varied phenomena are considered
is the desert Mirage. Travellers
in the arid regions of the western and
southwestern United States tell won
drous tales concerning the spectral
pictures which the desert mirage has
presented for their inspection. Cool
sheets Of water and waving trees and
grassy swards appear where all Is
known to be parched earth and burn
ing sands. Occasionally a mountain
range will appear on what is known
to be a boundless stretch Of level
plain, or a herd of deer, cattle or
other animals will be seen apparently
contentedly grazing on the CLASSY
surface of the atmosphere. Cities are
occasionally seen hundreds Of miles
from civilization, and phantom ships
have been known to loom up against
the sky and appear as real vessels to
persons who lived so far away from
the waters that they had never taken
trouble to visit the seacoast and who
had never seen a real ship.
The explanation Of the mirage, as
usually given, is as follows:
The sand, being intensely hot,
causes the layers Of air which rest
upon it to become greatly rarefied,
and under certain circumstances this
layer is quite distinct from the denser
stratum a few inches or feet above
it-just as II it were sheet Of wa
ter upon which oil rested. 1t is this
rarefied stratum of air which acts as
a reflector and pictures to the eye
those curious inverted images.

0hcer to be trified with and they dld
not dare to disobey his orders. They
Immediately proceeded to the noun
tains, and when they reached there
they at once made copy of the mag
istrate's warrant, which they burned
as a sacrifice, praying at the same
time to the spirit Of the mountains.
They had scarcely finished their
Offering and prayers when suddenly
the roar of a tiger, waited on the
breeze, reached their ears. The roar
almost frightened them out of their
wits, and when the tiger itself sud
denly appeared on the scene they
felt sure their last moment was nigh.
But they hurriedly produced the
magistrates warrant, behind which
they carefully screened themselves.
The tiger up to that time had worn
the most ferocious appearance, but
no sooner did his flashing eyes be-
hold the warrant than down went his
ears and tail, and his whole demean-
or changed from wild ferocity to
realize at once that the majesty even
of a tiger must yield to the majesty
Of the law, and he quietly followed
the police without making any re-
sistance. Arrived at the magistrates
court, the tiger at once knelt before
the magistrate, who commenced to
hear the case, while the widow wept
and abused the cause Of her sons
death. Looking sternly at the tiger
and pointing to the old widow, the
magistrate thus addressed the form
er:
"This poor old widow depended for
support on her son. He has been de-
voured by you. You beast of Ill
omen! On whom can she now rely
for a livelihood? Even II you are
condemned and put to death, how
can that compensate the widow for
her loss?"
Hearing this the tiger dropped his
head and seemed to be thoroughly
repentant. The magistrate, observ-
ing the change in the tigers de-
meanor, continued:
"As I now see you fully realize
the enormity of your crime and are
sincerely sorry for what you have
done, 1 grant you pardon and decide
that you shall henceforward act as
the son of the old widow, whose
wants, both as regards food and
clothes, IL will be your duty to sup
ply"
The tiger looked much relieved
and at once nodded ready assent.
He was then released and scampered
Of to the hills. The same evening
he returned carrying in his mouth a
deer, which he placed at the widows
door, after having scratched it with
his paw TO give information Of his
arrival. The widow at once came
out to see who was there and behold
ing the deer realized 1t had been
brought to her by the tiger. She sold
the deer, and from the proceeds of
its sale she was able to live COM
fortably for some time.
These attentions on the part Of the
tiger became quite regular and were
faithfully carried on without inter-
ruption for more. than ten years.
Then the widow died, much to the
grief of her officially appointed son,
the tiger, who had found great pleas
ure in making the old age Of the
widow much more comfortable than
1t would have been had her son been
alive.-East Of Asia Magazine.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-11-20

alone with a reasonable confidence
that he'll come back. I'd like to hear
his comment If it were suggested to
him that two of him were needed as
measure of personal safety"
The Paris authorities, however, be-
lieve that safety requires two police
together during the night, plan
which makes it possible to patrol only
half the territory which the present
force might cover, or have the terri
tory patrolled only half as often as it
might be. The police know the gath
ering places, the resorts of the Apa-
ches, and 1t is their method to leave
these undisturbed, because when they
want an Apache for crime such as
the murder before told Of they know
where to go to find him.
In that case, however, the evidence
almost Immediately placed In their
hands informed them of the identity
of the individual they wanted. 1t Is
not always so. The assaults by
Apaches have become so common that
the newspapers might have rubber
stamp formula for recording them, and
most often no arrests are heard Of.
The latest newspaper to take up the
story of the Apaches is Henri Roche
forts LIntrasigeant, which recently
printed a two column account Of their
methods and haunts, under the title
"The Empire Of the Apaches, the Ter
rors of Paris" The article began:
always the Apaches! In the COL
umns of Fats Divers each day one
may read: "A peaceful pedestrian was
on his way home last evening when
suddenly in front of No. - de la rue
x two individuals attacked him
with knife and left him for dead.
The unfortunate man was
taken in a desperate condition to a
hospital. The police have rot
been able to get hold Of the assa!s-
sins.'" ......
That Is about the formula. that might
be used with a rubber stamp to save
time, it recurs so often. AS the In
transigeant says. people see 1t so much
that they no longer read 1t, but pass
on to other news.-New York Sun.
