A short time ago a great cave was discovered in the Bennett mine, situated in the Oregon mountains, and about tirel?e miles from this place. This cave is , a veritable crystal palace, grand beyond description. Under foot, over head and all around it is as white as snow and clear as ; crystal. In some places it takes the form of - icicles, in others the form of frosted glass. - What seem to be groups of trees, from four to seven feet high, are seen, and have been given names. Pictures of all kinds of objects, such as birds, animals and reptiles, in ay be seen, and the cave is really a wonder. ITt 1 tit East. 1' hiccsro T mtt.

Last spring a gentleman of t scientific attainment and repute, whose residenoe is in the suburbs, outside the area of "high" or any other water service, had a large tank built in his attic to store n the rainwater from the roof. In time came warm weatner, and with it no end of miiaquitoes, who found this tank fnVl of placid water an excellent breedinf place. Accordingly it. was soon liter ally alive with "wrigglers," render ing the water unfit : for use The man of science set to work to destroy them. He supplied himseff with a dozen or "more jars, whieh he filled with the inhabited water. These he took;to his laboratory, and to eaeH he applied a different treatment, only to find, after elaborate experiments, that he knew of nov substance whieh, being added to the water, would destroy the "wrigglers'- without rendering t the water unfit or even dangerous for ne One hot and thirsty day, having give up hit attempts, it occurred to him to mention the difficulty to the mechanic who built the tank. The mechanical gentleman hesitated to give advice to ono so much hie superior in learning. The man 1 of science pressed him for a suggestion. ; " Well, if I was you," he finally saie Td put a couple of good-siaed fish k the tank!" - ,(. " . The scientifle man did so, and the born pouts soon cleared the tank of the wrigglers. , Carian 5try mt Zataad. Argentlu Cr. Kansas City Time There is a curious story about aa island in the river Plata, which was a horse ranch in early Spanish times. Tke animals became so auaeroue that there was not grass enough to feed them, anel ne demand for their export. The owm ers decided to reduee their stock in a barbarous way, aad when the grass was dry set fire to it. Ml very horse on the island was burned to death except those that ran into the river and drowned. The steaeh was so great that navigation was almost entirely suspended, on the river. The result of this method of re ducing stock was a little more complete than the owners anticipated, so whe the grass grew up again they had to bufr stallions and mares and start anew. Singularly enough- every aniakal placed on the island since that flr ku difd of a mysterious disease, and colt has been-foaled there for 150 years. Various breeds of stock have been tried, but never a hoof bag left the islaad ali Ye. Three months there finishes them. The island was unoccupied for fifty or sixty years, but is now used .ae a cattle rauv.-h, as horned stock do net appear to be subject to . the mysterioa malady. - !"ey C- r. P.rig Fi?r. IThat attracted the - attention of tke princess most (lon Carlos and suite) were the various objects connected with the worship of the devil. They were shown a - very curious collection of masks, each ef which represented a specific malady. The mask is oSered to the devil w bile beseeching him to cure the disease in question. It is placed om the altar; accompanied by an offering amounting to $2. There are also a number of snaall wooden dolls. These are placed en the altar aad pits are stuck in the head or parts of the bed. iJuring the operation the following imprecation: is invoked : "Mr. JDeriC behold your enemy! . I beseech you to inflict on him pains every place where I insert a pin." The worship of the devil is a supexafctiotis outcome of Buddhism. It ia tolerated by the priests, who do nt wish to make themselves nnDoWlar, but it is not admitted as a portion 6f orthodox worship. The most curioas felature of the practice is that the devfl f n Ceylon is not masculine, bat a woman. ' : . - The Satttb. America Cwb. : lOirtls' Arremthta . Lftr.
