Fresh Water That Bubbles Up From the Bed of the Ocean. . Bahrein island, in the Persian gulf, | 1s*said to be the hottest place on earth It1s usual there to find the thermom- eter at 140 degrees F. . On the cast of this island, where practically all the people live, there is no fresh: water, whichis needed above all things In so high a temperature. And it is to be had from the bottom of the sea.. Here and there scattered over the floor of the harbor of Bahrein are springs of pure fresh water, which wells up through the sand to mingle with the Salt water of the sea. It seems a difficult task to find these threads of fresh water amid the ocean's volume, but the islanders are thought to have found them ages ago and to have passed on their location fro generation to generation. A diver equips himself with a water bag made of skins, the mouth of which is closed, and descends to the bottom of the har bor at a point where one of the springs issues. The bag is carefully Inverted over the current of fresh water as It flows up from the sand, the mouth Is opened, the skin is filled, the mouth is closed, and 'the diver returns to the boat awaiting him on the surface. One scientist gives it as his belief that at. some period in the shadowy past that which is now the harbor's bottom was not 'covered by the sea. The springs were then on the shore and ready for the islanders' needs. Lit- tle by little the sea encroached on the land, but the location of the springs was not forgotten, EE -------- An Annoying Speed Limit. «An old man of nearly eighty years walked ten milés from his home to an adjoining town.

Don't expect a barotneter to tell you the truth about the weather uatil you base tested it thoroughly. Two cow- mon causes for uureliabilify are air and water mized with the wercury in the tube. These can be expelied by boiling the mercury. In order to test a hurometer let jt : hang for a time in the proper position, then gently and with cure incline it so that the mercury may strike against the glass tube, If there ix no alr with- in you will hear a sharp metallic click, but if the sound is dull and muflled it indicates the presence of both air and moisture. The presence of air ulone is shown by minute bubbles. y If at any time the mercury seems to adhere to the tube even in the slight. est degree and the convex surface as sumes a more fattened form It is safe. to conclude t either air or moisture is present. In any of these cases the instrument shenld. be put into expert hands for rectiticatjon. There are several kinds of barom- eters.: The ordinary "weather gluss" in common use is more or less unre ligble and is easily made more so by careless handling. In fact, auy barom- eter must he treated with great re- spect in order to retain its usefulness. --Harper's Weekly. . ~ CHURCHES IN CHILE. They Are Always More or Less in an Uncompleted Condition. When walking through the streets in any large town in "Chiie one is immedi ately struck by the fact that church buildings are always undergoing re pairs. : One day you will pass a church which for weeks has had about six ladders resting against the walls. Then an- other day you will ind that they have been changed to the other side. This constant changing of ladders goes, on year in and year out, but no use ever seems to be made of the ladders, though, perhaps, a new brick or a bit of plaster will occasionally be added to the buflding. There would seem, however, to be a very real reason for the presence of these ladders. The Chilean govern: went, in fact, levies a tax upon church buildings, but only when they have been completed. In order to evade this tax, therefore, no church ever has been completed. The law surely might be altered, then, for the eternal presence of these ladders--certainly an ingenious idea-- does not add to the appearance of the buildings or to the comfort of pedes- trians in the streets.--London Answers. King Robert Bruce's Watch. In Dalzell's "Fragments of Scottish History" is the following: "The old: est known English watch was nade, it is said, in the sixteenth century. There exists a watch which, antiqudrians al- low, belonged to King Robert Bruce." In tracing this subject further was found a letter in the Gentleman's Mug azine dated Forfar, Aug. 20, 1785, and signed J. Jamieson, who therein states that the watch was offered for sale to him by a goldsmith hawker of Glas gow, who afterward sold it for 21 guineas, and it was next sold for § The letter does not trace the curiosity further, but we find in a little work by Adam Thompson, entitled "Ime and Timekeepers," that it subsequently found its way into the collection of King George 1IL -- Philadelphia In qQuirer.

He was a born adventurer, with-an insatiable cu- rlosity and the element of fear left out of his makeup. When in 1808 the ex- | ploring party headed back from the coast to St. Louis, Colter broke away and all alone set out for the headwa- ters of the Missouri river. - Four years later there appeared at St. Louis a worn, ragged, Indian-like, white man, who announced that he was John Colter and finally succeeded fu identifying himself as a member of FOR SALE Donnelly Place There are still a fow choice lots left.

Peo- ple finally believed that he was Jobo Colter, but they would not believe the stories be told. » One of Colter's prize stories was about the most wonderful place in the world, where steam came from the earth and boiling water leaped clear-to the sky.. There were diabolical fur naces underground and bad smells. It would bave been the "abode of the damned," he said, but for the fact that be could discover no signs of human beings for miles about. It was a good story--too good to be true. So the St. Loulsans decided that the wanderer had imagined it all. In fact, the good people of St. Louis--and everybody else, for that matter-- laughed over "John Colter's Hell" for thirty-four years--until Bridger, the noted scout, rediscovered the place and confirmed eyerything that John Colter Ocean. » THE WILY TURK. Subtle Ruse That Enabled Abdul Aziz to Visit France. It is rare that a privilege enjoyed by its ruler, yet by a law of the Koran the ) sultan may not leave his realm unless be goes sword in hand for the purpose of conquering new provinces. Das Buch fur Alle tells how Sultan Abdul Aziz traveled abroad without break- ing the law. Abdul Aziz was very eager to accept Napoleon IIL"s invitation to visit the exposition at Paris in 1867.

This scheme, however, seemed of doubtful advisability, and finally a simpler plan was adopted. . One day the morning papers of Con- stantinople contained the startling news that Napoleon I1l. had made the sultan a present of France. Abdul Aziz was of course at entire liberty to visit his new province, and he decided to do so at once. Paris and all France were greatly amused at the subter fuge that their guest had practiced and offered nq objections to his approach. After a very pleasant visit in Paris Abdul Aziz returned to Turkey. But before he left he magnanimously gave France back to Napoleon. EE -------------- Up to Date.
