lucky BEAN SAVED SAILOR
Providence Placed Ta1isman IN His
Hand When He Was Thrown I'm
conscious Among Cannibals.

OF all the many mysterious products
of the ocean, none can compare with the
sea-bean. Scientists are divided as to
its origin, as no one has ever seen the
shrub or vine on which it grows, and it
is never found save when the bosom of
the deep has been rent by hard storm,
when the sea-beans, cast forth from.
some mysterious depth, are found scat
tered along the beach, derehcts of the
tide. There are numerous varieties,
large and small, and some are very rare,
especially the large liver bean, and the
banded bean. The savage tribes which
inhabit the South Seas regard them as
almost sacred, and look upon the lucky
possessor of one of the rare varieties as
particularly favored by the gods. Dusky
bellies, having in their possession these
rare products of the deep, will fight for
their treasure against all corners, as they
believe that the sea-bean gives them un-
usual power, especially in love, and that
any man on whom their affections are
SCI, must yield to their charms if they
but touch him with the lucky bean.
One touch of the bean binds their lover
to them forever.
Mr.. Leak, manager of the Stanislaus
county exhibit cars from California, is
the fortunate possessor of a rare speci-
men which has thrilling history which
would seem to prove the superstition of
the savages of the South Sea Islands.
1t was given to him by a sailor friend,
who was wrecked in mighty storm which
swept the tropical seas. The sailor, un-
conscious and nearly dead, was washed
ashore on an island, and when he recov-
cred his senses he found himself sur
rounded by crowd of savage men and
women. They were cannibals, and his
fate would undoubtedly have been hor-
rible one, but suddenly a native saw
grasped in the sailors hand, one of the
rarest of the sea- beans. Where it came
from and how it happened that he held it
when he was cast upon the beach he
never knew, but the superstitious ma
tives looked upon him as one especially
protected by the gods, and the bean
proved to him lucky one indeed for il
undoubtedly saved him from a terrible
fate. Some years ago Mr.. Leak be.
friended this old sailor in San Francisco,
and as reward this lucky bean was
presented to him, and he values it high
ly. 81 am not superstitious, said Mr.
Leak in speaking of this bean, which hs
has had made into watch charm, "but

OF thought are developed as one

that comes first is what an enter

have in Stanislaus county, and
what confidence in their county

pense as they have to even start

SUMMIT OF MOUNT BAKER.
A Freak Among Freaks is the Great
TabieIand

There is no evidence of recent ac-
tivity of this volcano, nor are there
any alarming indications that it will
ever be active again, says Forest
and Stream. True, there are live
vents on the sides of the cone where
the vapors and sulphur are contin-
ually emitted, where the lava is still
hot and steam jets issue with rum
bling and violence, but the SHOWS
of recurring seasons have blanketed
it for centuries, as if to smother out
the internal fires, and it can hardly
be considered now more than the
lingering of heat which once warm
ed the surrounding regions to
fluorescence, the base Of the noun
tain to bright red, and where it is
now buried under a mantle of per-
petual snow its summit once shone
with luminous glare winter than
the electric arc. But the freak
among freaks in this interesting
region is the lakeland already re-
ferred to.
1t rose in its magnifcence and
grandeur from the bowels of the
earth as did Mount Baker, of which
it is simply part and parcel. 1t
probably rose to its present emil
hence above its surroundings and
especially out Of its immediate bed
of porphyry somewhat later after it
had cooled enough to hold its shape
by renewed pressure directly under
it, showing it up like cork out of a
bottle.
The writer was strongly inclined
to take the plug clear out and look
inside to see exactly what was the
cause of it. There is much evidence
that the secondary upIift came at a
much later day than the volcanic
eruption or eruptions which pro-
duced the main features of this dis
trict, the most important of these
evidences being the fact that the
disintegration about the vertical
walls of this lakeland is very much
less than about the sides of any 9TH
er cliffs around, irrespective Of
height, position or material to be
eroded.
The walls of it are crumbling
away and Accomplishing about the
base in rock slides, somewhat faster
on the sunny sides. If it were pos
sible to count the annual layers Of
rock on these slides, which have
faxed off the walls above by the ac-
ton Of the summer sun and trosts
of winter, like the age of trees by
the rings of growth, it would be
easy to determine when Mazama
dome last made a move to rival
Coleman peak or get in better view
of the parent cone.
