means tbatswe shall not only see the
present prohibition law kept on the

It is, we believe, safe to say that in
every church in Tennessee women and
men, too, are praying for the redemp

vail, and that the party which stands
for statewide prohibition and law en-

not made in vain.

ISLAND COMES AND GOES.
Rises In August and Disappears Resu-
larly In February.

Rises In August and Disappears Resu-
IarIy In February.
One of Michigan's unsolved mystic
ries is the island that every summer
comes to the surface of Lake Orion
and every winter goes back again to
the depths from whence it arose.
Its periods of appearance and dis
appearance are nearly regular. 1t
comes to the surface about the middle
of August and goes down again about
Feb. 10. What causes it to act thus
strangely Is a conundrum that none
has been able TO solve. but to keep it
above water or compel it to remain in
the depths have been alike without re-
suits.
On one occasion a number of farm
ers and teamsters resolved to put the
island out of moving business. In
their efforts TO do so they hauled many
loads of stone and deposited them on
it during the early part of winter be-
lieving that when il went down in
February 1t would go down for good.
weighted as 1t was with the stones.
But the following August saw 1t bob
up serenely from below-minus its load
Of stones.
At another time an effort was made
to keep II on the surface. and II was
chained to the surrounding country
with heavy log chains. When its
time for departure came it departed,
and the log chains departed with it.
The log chains We're never recovered.
The island is composed of soft mud
and rushes. and there are some skep-
tical souls who attribute its formation
and appearance and disappearance to
the gathering of vegetation in one spot
by the currents of the lake and its sub
sequent decay Boston Herald.
