MISSOURIS HIDDEN LAKE.
Remarkable Body of Water In the
Heart Of the Ozarks.

In Oregon county, Mo-, and Ful-
ton county, Ark, are grouped
Grand gulf, Mammoth spring and
Spring river. Grand gulf is the
crowning wonder of the group. The
shallow streams, about one-fourth
of mile distant from each other,
flowing in the same direction over
an elevated plateau, suddenly drop
into canyons 500 feet deep. These
two canyons form junction half a
mile below, where they strike
mountain lying directly across their
path. This mountain has been tun-
neled by the action of the water,
and the natural bridge thus formed
is no less a curiosity and almost
equal in size to the famous Natural
bridge of Virginia.
After passing through this noun
tain the united stream strikes an
other mountain and tunnels it for
several hundred feet and then
spreads out into an immense under
ground lake, the area of which has
never been ascertained. Many par
ties have entered the tunnel and
picnics have been held by torchlight
on the margin of the lake, but still
it remains a mystery. No light can
exist long over the bosom of the
lake, and nothing can be heard save
the faraway rumble of the waters
as they rush on.
This underground lake is a reser-
voir which supplies Mammoth
spring, the largest spring in the
world, with its $4,000 cubic feet of
water a minute. The most surpris-
ing feature in connection with this
extraordinary natural curiosity is
the fact that when these great can
yons are filled with water even to
the arch of the natural bridge, hun
dreds of feet deep, the volume of
water in Mammoth spring is not in
creased. Mammoth spring covers
eighteen acres of ground 200 feet
deep with crystal water. - South

position is being looked forward to
with considerable interest.

A Monster Flower.

Can you imagine a blossom as
large as a carriage wheel? On the
island of Mindanao, one of the Phil
ippine group, was found by some ex-
plorers such a flower. Far up on
the mountain of Parag, 1000 feet
above the sea level, some explorers
were wandering when they came
across great buds larger than a
cabbage head. Greatly astonished,
they searched farther and presently
discovered a full grown blossom,
five petaled and three feet in diam
eter. 1t was carried in low lying,

An Ingenious Burglar.

An ingenious burglar in Berlin
found a new and original way OF
adding to the ordinary profits OF his
profession. After each burglary he
sent a full account of it to the daily
newspapers and received payment
for the report in the usual way. By
and by the editors became suspi-
cious, and the police were communi-
Gated with. They soon discovered
how the amateur reporter obtained
his information and speedily placed
him out of further temptation.

The Asylum Farm.

A representative of the Republican
called at the Office of the Idaho Asylum,
situated just east of Blackfoot, this
week and asked Superintendent G. A.
Hoover for a statement about crop con-
ditions at the institution. He had been
very b lsy debating to his stenographer,
but laid aside his work and said, The
spring has been 80 cold and backward it
has kept things from developing as they
usually do. Grain has done well, and
the cool weather has caused it to stool
as much as could be desired. Potatoes
too, are making fine showing. There
is large acreage in this locality, and
many people are contracting to sell at

crop is doing WELL especially the second
planting. Some seed that was planted
early did not terminate. We are not
raising any beets on the state farm, but
we have leased lao acres to the Snake
RIVER Valley Sugar Company at good
price, and their crop looks very promis-

so much, it is going to be late. This re-
planting was due to the cold weather
rotting the seed. The first cutting of
alfalfa will be short, owing to the cold
weather. Pears are failure in some
