reservoirs. These oil ponds are known
as "sump holes"
There is one peculiar thing about
these 'sump holes and that is in the
way Of producing what are known as
freak shadows" These nre real
shadows. but Notwithstanding this fact
they are decidedly "frcaky II the

his position the dim shadow remains
Just TTAere' ii was originally cast In
other words, the shadow does not
follow the substance"
This may seem like paradox, but it
is true The instant person shifts
his position his shadow Is again east
in new place. yet the former shadow
remains unchanged. The longer
person stands in one particular spot
the longer will the former shadow be
visible
Hundreds Of experiments have been
made ulong these lines. aud every time
the same results have been produced
The simple explanation for this phe-
nomenon is tnat under the hot sun

Of little minute bubbles. So very
small are these bubbles that they are
scarcely visible to the naked eye. Mil
lions Of these wee bubbles are rising
to the top all the time. when the
bubbles break and the gas is liberated
passing into the air.
Both the gas and bubbles are so
very supersensitive to the temperature
that even ones shadow cast for a
moment across them is affected. The
temperature is lowered Whenever the
substance quickly changes position the
shadow remains until the rays again
warm up that spot and the shadowy
outline slowly fades away. OF course

The third Lord Waterford was able
TO verify a story of an extraordinary
dream coming true. Talking one day
with the landlord Of the inn in the vii

rushed up and said there had been a
murder on the hills Then it must be

which Lord Waterford. not unnatural

lord proceeded to explain that in the
night he dreamed that two men had
come TO the inn and that the taller of
the two hnd murdered the shorter
with very curious knife.
He told his dream to his wife. who
laughed at him. But. to his horror
the men he had seen while asleep
came to the inn, and one used the curl

left. and soon afterward news Of the
murder arrived Search was made fol
