A Lake in New York From Which No Drowned Person Was Ever Recovered “If they succeed in recovering the bodies of Instructor Merriam and Miss Yeargin from the depths of Cayuga Lake by means of electricity, as I see they intend to try to do.” said a visitor to a reporter for the Rochester Post-Express, “it will be the first time in the history of the lake that the body of any person drowned in its waters was ever seen again. I always had a liking for geological research, and I indulged it for many years in investigating the bottom of Cayuga Lake. My experi- ments satisfied me that the bottom of the lake is a series of large openings and cav- ities, many of them crater-like. these are 100 feet in diameter, These cra- ters, as I believe them to be, Me at diff- erent depths, or rather, their raised edges are of different heights. Their depths are fathomless. They have undoubtedly become the receptacles of the hundreds of people who are known to have been drowned in the lake since that country was settled, and of the undoubted thousands of people killed in the fierce battles that were fre- quently waged on the shores of the lake between the hostile tribes of aboriginal warriors during the centuries preceding the coming of the white man. “It was in Cayuga Lake that the fiendish murderer, Rulof, lowered the bodies of his wife and child, thirty years ago, after he had murdered them. The bodies were in- closed in a chest, as he confessed before he was hanged at Binghampton for another murder. The weeks that were spent in dragging the lake for this chest were sim- ply wasted, for it had sunk into the mouth of one of those bottomless openings and, if it is not sinking yet, Is still floating about in those mysterious depths. Within half a century more than 100 persons have been drowned in Cayuga Lake, to recover the bodies of whom the grappling iron and drag were used industriously, but in vain. If it were possible for one to make the rounds of this lake’s crater-like bed he would with- out doubt, encounter hideous charnel houses beyond number—caverns where hosts of grinning skeletons have found sepulchre, submarine catacombs, without end. Per- haps the electricians, exploring the lake bottom with their intense lights, as they purpose doing, may make some such discov- erles. Another mystery about Cayuga Lake that used to puzzle me was its curious tides. They were irregular in their occur- rence, but very decided. I remember one year when the phenomenon appeared twice.

During one of these tidal motions of the lake the water receded fifty feet. ‘The recession of water was gradual, but the returning tide came in with considerable force and rapidity.

Poor Business on the Liners Lays Up Many Greyhounds. A New York dispatch says: The trans-Atlantic steamship lines, as is their custom for the winter, are docking their express steamers. Some have already done so on account of the unusual light- ness of trans-Atlantic travel this winter. ‘These express steamers are very expensive to run and quickly become unprofitable when travel greatly diminishes. They are, therefore, retired as soon as this is notic- ed, and advantage is taken of their being idle to overhaul them for summer business. This preparation for the summer has to be done anyway at some time or other in the year. Travel has fallen off particularly toward the places of least popular interest. The Anchor Line found it necessary to with- draw the City of Rome early in November. It is now announced that the Furnessia is also withdrawn, travel to Glasgow prov- ing unexpectedly light. The Cunard Line steamers Campania and Lucania were withdrawn early this month and are now in dock. They will probably not be seen in New York again much before May. The schedule of sailings for January and Feb- ruary announces no sailings of these ocean racers, Much interest is taken in the coming make-up of the schedule of this line for the next year, as it is believed a change will be made in the time of the sailing of these steamers from Queenstown, so that their Passengers may gain the full advantage of their 5} , and not be detained, as was frequer tly the case during the past fall, for twelve hours « more, on the steamer at quarantine, or outside the bar at Sandy — on account of arriving after sun- jown. The French Line also withdrew its ex- press steamer early in November. La Touraine will not depart again from this port until March 17. The American Line steamers are running as usual. But the New York will be taken off for repairs in February and will remain at her dock for a@ month at least. The Paris will be taken off in March, and will be absent for the same length of time. The North German Lloyd Steamship Line, as well as the Ham- burg-American Line, employ their express that they run to Bremen or Hambi in Trips the Mediterranean service in winter. to Genoa, Naples and Egypt by Gibraltar or Algiers are reported to be very popular this year, the bookings for ee after the holidays being unusually eavy. Most of the express steamers ot these lines have been or are abou io be repaired. But a single trip will be missed in consequence.

Peaster ba WONDERFUL FEATS OF MEMORY. way of Some Minds Have a Facility for Re- taining Certain Classes of Facts. Among those who have performed great feats of memory Cassell’s Family Magazine mentions Dr. Fuller, author of the “Worthies of England.” He could repeat another man’s sermon after hearing it once, and could repeat 500 words in an un- known language after hearing them twice. He one day undertook to walk from Tem- ple Bar to the farthest end of Cheapside and to repeat on his return every sign on either side of the way in the order of their occurrence, and he did it easily. In such feats as this the eye plays a chief part; yet blind people also have good memories. Rev. B. J. Johns, chaplain of the blind asylum, London, testifies that a large number of puplls learn the Psalter, and that one young man was there who could repeat not only the whole of the 150 prayer book Psalms and a large number of metrical psalms and hymns, as well as a considerable amount of modern poetry, including Goldsmith’s “De- serted Village,” but the whole of Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” with marginal notes and a biography. Lord Macaulay on one occa- sion repeated to himself the whole of “‘Para- dise Lost’? while crossing the Irish channel. At another time, waiting in a Cambridge coffee house for a postchaise, he picked up a country newspaper containing two poet- ical pieces—one the “Reflections of an Ex- ile’ and the other a “Parody on a Welch Ballad""—looked them once through, never gave them a further thought for forty years and then repeated them without the change of a single word. Macaulay’s mind, some one has said, was like a dredging net, which took in all that it encountered, both good and bad, nor ever seemed to feel the burden. Very much unlike a dredging net, and more like a strainer, are the minds of some other persons who carefully select what they will retain or have a natural fa- cility for remembering special classes of facts—George Bidder for figures, Sir W. Scott for verses, Mezzofanti for languages. ee ee Found the Authority. From the New York Herald. A fend mother in search of a Christmas present for her hopeful son went into a book store down town and walked up and down the aisles closely scanning the titles of the books, At last she found the title desired and took down the book. “Is this a good book?” she demanded of the clerk. “It is an excellent bcok, madam, and the only copy we have left,” replied the clerk as he named the price and wrapped it up. “How fortunate I am to have secu it then,” the delighted woman exclaimed. “My son is just crazy over that game, and I wanted to get a good authority on it so that he could learn to play it properly.” sickly, far away light was in the sales- man’s eyes as he handed his customer her copy of Charles Dickens’ ‘Cricket on the | Hearth." Some of | had been ELECTION OFFICIALS ARRESTED. Result of the Extraordinary Grand Jury’s Session at New York. Central office detectives of New York ar- rested late Saturday afternoon and evening forty-four persons against whom the ex- traordinary grand jury handed down in- dictments on Friday for violations of the election laws. The indicted persons were arrested on bench warrants. The warrants were turned over to Superintendent Byrnes, who directed Inspector McLaughlin to de- tail detectives to execute the warrants. Inspector McLaughlin sent out detectives early in the afternoon to hunt for the men named in the warrants, and the search for some of the men was still in progress late at night. At 10 p.m. forty-four prisoners locked up, and Judge Martine had admitted sixteen of them to bail in $2,500 each. The judge was in the detective bu- reau for that purpose, and the bureau was crowded with prisoners and men who were willing to act as bondsmen. Many of the prisoners were inspectors of election, who were charged with making false returns of the canvass of the votes in the electon, with neglecting to perform their duties as election officers, or with receiving illegal votes at the election. District Attorney Nicoll conferred with Judge Barrett in the morning about the | amount of bail to be required. The judge decided that $2,500 would be the proper figure in cases of felony and $1,000 in mis- demeanors. In some special instances the sums were to be larger. The indictments, which numbered sixty in all, were for vari- ous violations of the penal code. Only the tools of the real covspirators against the suffrage were indicted. The leaders who were really responsible primarily for the wholesale frauds escaped scot free. Abso- lute proof of the guilt of at least one of them was adduced. The reason why more arrests were not made was, according to John W. Goff, that some of the accused men had received | warning of their indictments. Mr. Goff, | who, with Wheeler H. Peckham, Alfred R. Conkling and other lawyers of the commit- tee of fifty, pi the evidence and pre- sented it to the grand jury, learned that within two hours after the indictments were handed in one of the men whose ar- rest was demanded had fled from the city. Others who may surrender themselves later probably kept out of the way, so as to re- main at liberty during the holidays. Mr. Goff and Mr. Conkling called on Dis- trict Attorney Nicoll in relation to the but would not say what the exact subject of the interview was. Mr. Goff, however, said: “Proof was presented of frauds in all parts of the city. In man: polling places no oaths of office were eed ministered. When 4 o'clock came the Tam- many captains told the inspectors to hold the polls open longer. Men were sent to collect tramps who should vote in the names of registered persons who had not ca rye In some cases more ballots were placed in the boxes than the record showed to have been cast. Indeed, in certain elec- tion districts the number of ballots cast ex- ceeded the number of voters registered. In some places, where the booths were placed against the wall, holes were torn in the backs of the booths, through which work- ers handed folded ballots to voters. In an- other district I have proved that as fast as tramps went in and voted, they were plac- ed_in the line again, to vote once more." Proofs were also laid before the grand jury that in districts in which the in- spectors certified that not a republican vote was cast a dozen men had hand publican ballots. pate <7 From Meehan’s Monthly. It does not seem to be generally recog- nized that no two trees or plants come ex- actly alike, any more than two individuals among the human family might be expect- ed to be exactly alike. Indefinite and ab- solute variation seems to be a law of na- ture, and yet much surprise is felt at varia- tions in trees, and these variations are fre- quently taken and Latin names given them fo an extent that is absolutely alarming and confusing to the systematic botanist. In the Gartenflora of March 15, an ad- mirable German botanical and horticultural publication, are named and described no less than twenty-three varieties of our com- mon silver maple, drawings being given of a large number of them. Those who are fa- miliar with this common tree in our coun- try know that it would be just as easy to get a hundred varieties as ten. There is, however, one difficulty which will excuse sometimes the use of a Latin name to mark a conspicuous variation. The common cut-leaved silver maple, for in- stance, brought into great prominence by Eilwanger & Barry from a plant found by Mr. Wier of Illinois, is Latinized as Wiert. It is ditticult for nurserymen to de- cide how to name these variations, and some name is certainly required under which to introduce them. We might, to be sure, say Brown's maple, Smith's maple, Jones’ maple, and so on, but it is evident that such names would never become so permanent and fixed as when the Latin form Smithil, Brownil and Jonesii would be employed, and yet the use of these Latin —— = preent econo to be very annoy- Ing an yu me to the systematic botanist. ————+e+_____ The Next Big Exposition, Paris Letter to the London Telegraph. The site of the exhibition of 1900 has been definitely selected. At the meeting of the subcommittee especially appointed to settle the question it was decided that the Champ de Mars, the Trocadero, the Esplanade des Invalides, the Quai d’Orsay, the Palais de Industrie and the surrounding ground should all be devoted to the great world’s show that is to be held here at the close of the century, and that the banks of the Seine should be further connected by a to be constructed between the Pont ‘ae in Con corde and the Pont des Invalides. It is interesting to note, now that this problem has been solved, that all the mem- bers of the subcommittee who attended the meeting were in favor of this choice, M. Berger, who was the sole absentee, being the only one who would have preferred Auteuil; yet, as a matter of fact, M. Ber- ger’s views were originally shared by most of his colleagues. It was objected, however, that the distance from the center of the metropolis would be too great, and the Par- isian tradesmen, fearing that a smaller number of visitors would thus be attracted to this city, also made their voices heard with good effect. One by one the subcom- mittee were brought around to the opinion that the old site was, after all, the best, and the resolution at which they have ar- rived completely settles the affair. One of the principal entrances to the ex- hibition will be on the Place de la Concorde, but the square itself will not be interfered with, nor, indeed, will any attempt be made to include such well-known establishments as Ledoyen’s restaurant and the cafe chant- ant of the Horlorge, situated between the Place de la Concorde and the Palais de VIndustrie, within the boundaries of the world’s show. People have been inquiring with much curiosity whether the Eiffel tower, which was the crowning feature of the exhibition of 1889, is to be allowed to stand, as the architect of the city of Paris has spoken z= favor of its partial ——.

RECEIVERS FOR ATCHISON. The Company Heavily Involved and Running Too Many Branches. Late Saturday afternoon Judge Henry C. Caldwell, in chambers at Little Rock, Ark., appointed Joseph W. Reinhart, John J. Me- Cook and Joseph C. Wilson receivers of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system. Orders of the Court. The orders of the court appointing re- ceivers are in substance as follows (two or- ders being necessary, one for the Santa Fe and the other for the 'Frisco): United States Circuit Court of the eastern district of Mis- souri in the eighth judicial district. The Mercantile Trust Company, trustee, vs. St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Company. The other order is similar to this, with the same title, except that it says that it is the Union Trust Company against the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Com- pany. ! “Now, on the 234 day of December, 1893, the complainant, the Mercantile Trust Company (called in the other order the) Union Trust Company), by Alexander & | Green, its solicitors, and Charles B.

But Little Color Blindness—Indame@ Eyelids From Smoky Tepees. Dr. Carlos Montezuma, the government physician of the Indian school at Carlisle, has brought to Philadelphia thirty Indian children of both sexes for eye treatment at the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, says the Press. The cases are of great interest in optical study, as they show just what effect civilization has upon the eyes of the re(- skin, who ts accustomed to prairie life, wit all.its freedom of action. The disease with which the eyes of the little band is af- flicted is inflamed eyelids. The smoky tepees largely cause this trouble,and when brought east the contagion spread throughout the school. It often runs into granular lids, with a tendency to destroy the it. Sometimes ulcers of the cornea get 80 that the eye shrinks away and the eyeball has to be removed. But the cases of the children just brought on were not so severe, with the exception of one boy, who will pos- sibly lose one of his eyes. U; examina- tion it was found that the Indian boy and girl have one-tenth more vision than a White child. They are what might be called “far sighted.” Their eyes are adjusted to Giscern objects at great distances. Conse- quently when they are brought east and placed in schools there is a complete change in visual objects. What they see is near at hand. They become subject to due to the great strain caused, and disease follows. An interesting feature has been brought out in the tests for color blindness. It has been found that the Indian has an extremely jow average of color defects. Color blindness in an Indian is very rare. About twenty of the thirty children had | their eyes tested for glasses, which they | will only use when reading or studying. Dr. Montezuma, who brought the children here, now hereby ordered, adjudged and decreed | 18 an Indian himself and has had a romantic that Joseph W. Reinhart, John J. McCook and Joseph C. Wilson are appointed recetv- ers of all and singular the land, tenements, | hereditaments of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Company, and of the) personal estate thereof, including all its railroad tracks, right of way, sidings (here follows full description of the property of the company), and that the receivers are authorized and directed to take immediate possession of the railroad and properties de- scribed and referred to, and to run, man- age and operate the railway, and such other railroads as the defendant railway holds,and to execute the authority and franchises of the company, and to conduct systematically its business.” It is further ordered that each of the re- ceivers, within the next twenty days, exe- cute a bond for $50,000. Too Many Branches. Judge Caldwell, when interviewed that night, said a supplementary bill would prob- ably be filed January 5 at Topeka, the ob- ject of which will be a general forfeiture. In his opinion, the franchises which had been absorbed by the road had brought the system into its present bankrupt condition, it taking the earnings of the main line to keep the branches. The receivership will result in cutting off the branches. George R. Peck, general solicitor of the Santa Fe, says: “The bills in both cases show that the lines were heavily involved —_ — obligations coming on soon, an interest due January 1 could not be paid, and would be defaulted. In both cases com- plainants went elaborately into figures, and were very full and voluminous. The first mortgage bonds are $15v,000,000; the second mortgage, class A, $77,00c,000, and second mortgage, class B, $5,000,000. “The interest due on bonds by January is $3,000,000, and the floating indebtedness about $5,000,000, making a total indebtedness ‘of $240,000,000. ‘Judge Caldwell promptly or- dered receivers to be appointed, and ap- pointed the same receivers in both cases. Joseph W. Reinhart, one of the receivers, is president of the Santa Fe system. Another, Gen. John J. McCook of New York, is the general counsel of the Santa Fe system, and the third, Joseph C. Wilson of Topeka, Kan., is now clerk of the United States dis- trict court at Topeka, and a level-headed business man, having been twice mayor of that city. The railroads asked for the ap- pointment of Reinhart, McCook and Georgé A. Nickerson, one of the directors of the system. A supplementary bill will be filed January 5, at Topeka, asking for a fore- closure.” It is reported on the outside that the com- panies made a determined, but unsuccessful effort to have George A. Nickersoh, one of the Santa Fe directors, made one of the re- ceivers, but the trust company’s attorneys objected, and a compromise was made on Joseph C. Wilson. SS DIED FROM LACK OF FOOD. Three Persons in the Vicinity of Pitts- burg Succumb to Starvation. Within the past few days three deaths have occurred in the vicinity of Pittsburg from starvation. Their names were: An- thony Dominick, an Austrian, aged sixty years, died in Pittsburg; Mary Weisman, daughter of Henry Weisman of Alleghany, aged three years; Mrs. Dicca Arthur, a widow, aged fifty years, died at Homestead. In the case of Dominick, it was developed at the coroner’s inquest that he, with about forty others, Hungarians, Italians and Aus- trians, lived together, each man doing his own cooking. Dominick had not worked for two months, and for days at a time he would have nothing to eat. On Thursday he procured some putrid fish, and in his half-starved condition ate of it. The man took sick and died, none of the others pay- ing any attention to him. A_ verdict of death from starvation was rendered. The little Weisman girl had been sick a week, but the parents could not provide proper food and mefical treatment, and it was only when the child died that the neighbors learned how distressed the fam- ily was. ‘Mrs. Arthur’s death was caused by sick- ness and starvation. She had no one to look after her but a twelve-year-old son, who was himself ill trom lack of food. Her sad condition was discovered only a few hours before her death by two ladies who did all in their power for the poor woman, but it w&s too late. —~—eee—____—- BANKS’ SAD STATE. GEN. The “Bobbin Boy” of Massachusetts a Mental Wreck. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks was discov- ered Friday night in an electric car which runs from Boston to Lynn, Mass., in a dazed condition. Passing through (Lynn the conductor notified Superintendent E. C. Foster of the railroad, and was instructed to transfer Gen. Banks to a returning car at the end of his trip in swampscott. From Swampscott the general was sent back to Lynn, where he was met by Spe- cial Policeman Valentine, who escorted him to a train on the Boston and Maine rail- road, and accompanied him to his home, in_ Waltham. It was learned that the general, who has become as helpless as a child in his old age, and does not travel without an attendant, became separated from his man while in Boston among the crowds of Christmas shoppers. It is probable that two young men from Chelsea befriended him, and, understanding that he wanted to go to Lynn, assisted him aboard the car. . Banks was born in Waltham Janu- ary 30, 1816. He was admitted to the bar in 1849, and was elected speaker of the state assembly in 1851, also in 1853. He Was elected to Congress in 1853 as a coali- tion democrat. He served several terms in Congress, and was elected speaker of the House. He was three times the governor of Massachusetis. He served in the army during the war. ——9 Electric Light Companies Com An agreement has been entered into by several electric light companies at Chicago to cut the price on lamps in order to squeeze the small concerns out of exist- ence. The Edison, Thomas-Houstan, Brush, Schuyler, Fort Wayne-Jenny and one or two others are said to be foremost in the scheme. Prices have recently been cut 25 per cent. Small incandescent lamps that formerly sold at 44 cents, now sell at 32 1-2. It is said that the large concerns are losing considerable money in their efforts to clean out the small concerns. They are tired of the slow proceedings of law to protect them from infringement and are now undersell- ing at a price that will, it is claimed, soon shut up all the small factories.

EXPERIENCE OF THE WRONG KIND. A Student of Vivisection Who Visited Africa and Acquired Coctly Knowl- edge. One of the most curious expeditions ever Planned by man was that once undertaken by Dr. J. G. Bunting of Portland, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. During all his life he had been a close student of the philoso- phy of digestion, and for the purpose of his investigations he had that remarkable Cana- dian, Alexis St. Martin, in his care for twenty years. In order to clinch matters | and provide facts for some of the doubting Thomases Dr. Bunting cast about for some one else upon whom he might contin experiment. He could think of but plan, and that was to go into Afriea, two slaves and operate upon their stom~- achs. By opening the body near the fifth rib and perforating the stomach @ condi- tion could be produced similar to that ex- isting in the person of St. . ‘There- fore the doctor purchased his supplies and sailed across to Tunis, in the north of Af- rica. There he hired a native chief with forty of his followers, paying them a lib- eral retaining fee and promising al- ‘luring largess when the trip should be ended. They set forth. The doctor carried $5,000 in his inside pocket, and the chief probably lay awake four nichts thinking about the matter, At any rate, on the fifth night he sneaked into the doctor's tent and delivered a little address over the muzzie of two pistols. When he had concluded the doctor passed over his ducats and the chief passed over the border along with his rene- gade band. They helped themselves to such supplies as suited their artless and unen- lightened tastes.
