Fountain of Soap Bubbles.

One of the most novel and fascin-
ating sights among all the fascina-
lions OF the Franco-British Exhibit
ton is the soap bubble fountain in
the British Hall of Textile and Chem
ical Industries.
The fountain consists of a double
basin surmOunted by a graceful fig
ure; concealed under the base is an
electric motor, air blast and pump;
the first drives the two latter, which
force soapy water through a pipe
connected with eighty-seven different
outlets, each one of which emits thou
sands and thousands of bubbles,
which in eve changing hues fall like
a Kaleidoscope cascade round the
the base.
In the daytime it is a marvellous
sight, but at night, when innumer.
able electric lights beneath the bub.
bles are turned on, it is the most daz.

The Wheat Fiad

Take q look at the wheat field that
has been brought up to perfection,
as it stands. Yellow as gold, with the
sheen Of the sea, billowing from sky
line to skyline like an ocean of gold,
where the wind touches the ripping
wave crests with the tread Of invisi-
BILE feet. In California, in Oregon,
in Washington, in Dakota, In the Ca
madam Northwest, you may ride all
day on horseback through the wheat
fields without a break in the flow Of
yellow heavy-headed grain. No fence
lines. No meadow lands. No shade
trees. No knobs and knobs and hills
and hollows of grass OF black earth
through. From dawn till dark, from
sunrise in a burst Of fiery splendor
over the prairie horizon to shutdown
when the crimson thing hangs like a
huge shield Of blood in the haze OF
a heat twiIght-you may ride with
naught to break the view between yon
and the horizon but wheat-wheat.
It is like the gold. fields. It goes to
your head. You grow dizzy looking
at it. You rub your eyes. Is it 2
mirage? Billowing yellow waves
seem to be breasting the very sky.
You look up. The sky is there all
right with the black mote Of a mead
ow lark sailing the azure sea. He
drops liquid notes of sheer mellow
music down on your head, does that
meadow lark and that gives you back
/ your perspective, your sense of amaz-
ing reality. You are literally, alb
solutely, really, in the midst Of 9
sea Of living gold. It is Won ,ud not
the lark that is the mote. You begin
to feel as if your special mote might
be a beam that would get lost in IN.

HUNTING WILD HORSES.
A Favorite Sport in New South Wales
How the Animals Are Broken.

A Favorite Sport in New South Wales
How the Animals Are Broken.
Whether ''brumby" is a survival
of the aboriginal name for a wild
horse or a corruption of "unbrand-
ed" appears to be a question which
philologists have left undecided, but
brumby hunting is still a favorite
sport in New South Wales.
Districts like the Clarence and Ste
phens and Manning River watershed
are still the home Of numerous
droves of brumbies, and hunting
them is declared to be a very exhila-
rating pastime. The first step taken
is to stake out a corral and make
all secur except a narrow entrance,
which can subsequently be gated. On
either side of the entrance and pro-
jecting from it funnelwise a "booby
fence" is prepared.
To the simple minded brumby it
presumably looks like a stockade,
and pieces of futtering cotton make
it look impregnable. When this is
ready the young bloods, well mount

horses, driving them with shouts
and much loud swapping of stock
whips toward the mouth of the fun
mel.
In a group of brumbies there is
always a leader, and when once the
hunters have got the leader heading
for the corral they are pretty certain
of the rest of the drove. The fut-
tering cotton rags of the sham fence
are sufficient to determine the brum-
bies from breaking through the film
sy barriers, and in less time than it
takes to tell the wild horses are safe
ly corralled and the big gate shut on
them.
Then they are left for four and
twenty hours without food and water
to reflect on the situation, and after
that they car be broken in without
much dificulty.-London Standard.
