DEVILS KETTLE IS FREAK.
Relic of Ice Age Attracts Much At
tention in Michigan.

Battle Creek. Mich. May S.--An in
teresting natural curiosity on the farm
of Claude Doyle, in the township of
Ross. eight miles west of this city. is
exciting the attention of local
biologists. 1t is known as the devils

feet across and sixty feet deep. with
sides SO precipitous that they stand al
an angle of forty-five degrees.
In the hole grow trees and shrubs
the tops of the trees coming to the
level of the surface surrounding the
hole. The popularity is the shape OF
the hole. which exactly represents d
huge kettle and is as perfect as if
made intentionally by man.
The biologists says that it is the
work of the ice age, when the great
glaciers moved down over Michigan
from the northeast. 1t was formed
by a huge pieces of detached ice be-
coming lodged and stationary. the
drift material banking up around it.
When the imbedded ice melted away
slowly it left the hole in the ground.
Water never stands in the bottom and
it is perfectly dry.

LOST HIS MONEY.
Made a Bet and Foolishly Picked the
Wrong Member.

Made a Bet and FooIishIy Picked the
Wrong Member.
There was an eminent English SER
geant at law some years ago who had
cork leg that was triumph of ar
tistic deception. None but his init
mates knew for certain which was the
ra,, s.,d which was the sham limb. A
wa young wag of the "outer bar"
who knew the sergeant pretty well,
once thought to utilize this knowledge
Of the sergeant's secret to take in a
green, newly fedged young barrister.
The sergeant was addressing a spe-
cial jury at Westminster in his usual
earnest and vehement style, and the
wag whispered to his neighbor:
'You see how hot old Buzfuz is over
his case. Now, I'll bet you sovereign
I'll run this pin into his leg up to the
head and he'll never notice it, he's so
absorbed in his speech. He's a most
extraordinary man in that way"
This was more than the greenhorn
could swallow, so he took the bet. The
wag took a large pin from his waist
coat and, leaning forward, drove it up
to the head in the sergeant's leg. A
yell that froze the blood Of all who
heard it. that made the hair of the
jury stand on end and the judges wig
almost fall off, rang through the court.
"By Jove, it's the wrong leg! I've
lost my money! exclaimed the dis
mayed and conscience stricken wag
as he fed through the door, while the
lacerated lawyer danced on his cork
leg and howled In agony.

Qrioin of Flower Names.

It is interesting to know how certain
flowers got their names. Many We're
named after individuals. For instance.
fuchsias were so called because they
were discovered by Leonard Fuchs.
Dahlias were named for Andre Dahl.
who brought them from Peru. The
camellia was so called for a mission
airy named Kamel. who brought some
magnificent specimens Of the flower to
France from Japan. He called it the
Rose Of Japan. but his friends changed
it to camellia. Magnolias were named
in honor of Professor Magrol de Mont
pelier, who first brought the beautiful
tree to France from America and Asia.
Because they trembled with the wind
is the meaning Of anemones. The
Latin word to wash is lavare, and
lavender received its name because
the Romans put the flowers into the
water when they washed to perfume
their hands.
