RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Ffo'As Intend In a Greek leland and
Then Disappears.
One of the most curious phenomena
of geography Is found on the southern
coast of the Island of Cephalonla, near
Greece. It Is u streum of salt water
which for an unknown period lias left
the almost tideless sea and flowed In
land with considerable volume.
The seu enters the land at four
points where the coast Is practically on
a level with the salt water surface.
The four Initial streams unite to form
the little river that flows Inland In a
broken rocky channel until It finnlly
disappears In the limestone rock nnd
sinks Into the earth.
This Inland flow has continued al
most certainly for several centuries.
It Is far too great for removal by evap
oration, chemical combination or even
physical absorption by pores or cav
erns In the rocks. What becomes of
the water that Is constantly flowing
Inland nnd disappears Anally In the
Assures that have opened In the lime
stone?
The question has been the sunject of
much study, but no conclusive nnswer
has been given. It Is probable that
there is an underground channel which
carries the water back Into the sea at
no great depth below the surface. Tlie
constant Influx of salt water at Cepha
lonla 1* duplicated ns far ns Is known
at no other point of the world:—New
York Sun.
Where the Difference Lay.
‘‘Ono of Ills complaints against his
wife In the divorce suit,” said the law
yer, ‘‘was that she smoked cigarettes.”
“Oh, my goodness! And whenever
he comes to see me,” cried the bache
lor girl, "I smoke and smoke!”
“Oil, he doesn't mind other women
smoking cigarettes,” declared the law
yer. "He likes It. It is only his wife.”

WHEN IT’S HOT.
Add Your Own Idea to Those Picturei
of Oppressive Heat.
“Suppose we describe lu turn the
scene that our fancy pictures ns illus
trating our notion of oppressive heat,’1
said one of a party discussing the ex
tremes of weather. “What do we think
of—what time, what place, what con
ditions?”
The suggestion was received with
favor, and here are some of the re
sponses :
“A new concrete sidewalk at noon,
with tlie sun beating down on it and
your heels sinking in, and the heat re
flected in your face, and the air per
vaded with the smell of far.”
"The desert, with an exhausted cara
van struggling to reach a mirage that
hovers on the horizon, hut doomed to
perish of thirst, as perished the man
and the animal whose bleached bones
they are passing.”
“Washing dishes in the kitchen, with
the thermometer at 95 out of doors
and a hundred and something witldn,
with your hands so soapsudsy nnd
greasy that you can’t lift them to
your face to wipe away the perspira
tion and with your whole being so
tired nnd cross and miserable that you
would cry—if you were not ashamed
to.”
“The deck of a becalmed yacht, with
a glassy sea and a long, slow roll nnd
the brnsswork so hot that it burns
your hand, the sun high, the sky cloud
less, tlie sails hanging with not a
breath to stir them, the victim pros
trate and seasick, with no conscious
ness in tlie present except of heat and
nausea and no expectation for tlie fu
ture but sunstroke.”
“Standing alone In the middle of a
broad, Hot field that is flaming with
scarlet lilies, with no sound save the
notes of the grasshoppers and the lo
custs.”
“Noon on a country road which lies
between treeless, barren fields, with
no living thing in sight but an ox team
lurching slowly on its way in a cloud
of yellow dust.”
“A night in August when coolness
has not come with darkness, when you
cannot sleep and can hardly breathe
and when it seems that morning would
never come.”—Chicago News.
MOONLIGHT IN MUSIC.
Story of How Beethoven Created His
Wonderful Sonata.
Beethoven's famous composition, the
“Moonlight Sonata,’’ is said to have
been composed-under the following cir
cumstances:
One evening us Beethoven and a
friend were hurrying through the
streets of Bonn they heard the famil
iar notes of the “Sonata In F.” Some
thing In the musician’s touch attracted
the attention of Beethoven, and he
stopped nnd listened. Suddenly the
music stopped, and the despairing
words of the musician came to them
through the open window, “Oh, if I
could but hear some really good mu
sician play this wonderful piece!” nnd
the words ended In a sob.
“Let us go In,” said Beethoven. They
entered and found the player a young
girl, poor and blind. Beethoven sat
down at the old harpsichord and play
ed as he had never played before. Ills
listeners were spellbound. “Tell us,”
they begged, “who are you?” For an
swer he played the opening bars in the
“Sonata In F.” “It Is Beethoven!”
they exclaimed lu awe and admiration.
Suddenly the candle flickered nnd
went out. Beethoven ceased playing
nnd bowed his head upon his hand.
Ills friend threw open the shutters. A
flood of beautiful moonlight entered
the room. Its transfiguring light touch
ed up the poor old instrument and rest
ed upon the noble figure bowed before
it. The profound silence was broken
at last by the musician, who said: "Lis
ten. I will improvise a sonata to the
moonlight.” Then was creatod this won
derful sonata, beginning in a sad, ten
der movement, the embodiment in
sound of the gentle moonlight transfig
uring nnd glorifying the dark earth.
Suddenly the music censed, and with
a brief farewell Beethoven hurried
home to put upon paper this famous
composition.
Antiquity of Tennis.
Among nil the popular games of to
day none perhaps is of greater an
tiquity than tennis, for It Is said to
have originated iu the ball games of
the ancient Greeks and Romans. In
the first place the ball was struck by
the hand, later on heavy gloves were
worn or cords strapped round the palm,
and the rncket was contrived during
the fifteenth century in France, where
the game was very popular, and thence
In iduced into England.—London Cap
tain.
Indian Hemp and Catalepsy.
A single grain of the resin of Indian
hemp will produce catalepsy in a mau.
A few hours are required for the ef
fects to reach a climax, when his
limbs may be placed in almost any
position without difficulty, and when
once placed they remain in the given
position indefinitely, although the nat
ural influence of gravity would cause
them to fall. During the catalepsy the
body is usually insensible to all im
pressions.—Exchange.
Token In One Way.
He—So you persist In breaking off
the engagement? She—Most decided
ly. What do you take me for? He—
Oh, about forty. Better think It over.
It may be your last chance.—Harper’s
Weekly.
Lost to Secrecy.
Marryat—So that great inventor Is
dead and his wonderful secret Is lost.
Newitt—Not at all. lie told his wife
Just before he died. Marryat—Yes,
that's what I mean. — Philadelphia
Press. !
Minor Mention.
A petrified buffalo head was found
seven feet under gtound by Louis
Stebner while working on the con
struction of a bridge on Eagle creek.
Mr. Stebner brought the specimen to
O’Neill and it is now in the county
clerk’s otlice.
YVm. Lockard is the proud owner of
a moter cycle. Some of these days,
should the machine take a notion to
balk and runaway with him, Will
will wish he had an old Mexican
cayuse instead. But the machine
does certainly cover the ground.
Ed Alberts returned home last
Thursday, his ball team, the Soutli
Dakota Cowboys, having finished the
season and disbanded. They played
through Iowa, Illinois and Indiana
arid had a successful season. Ed will
finish the season with the O’Neill
team.
Bill Wilson, Roy Bradley, Phil
Primley, Ed Richie, J. Brophy and
Charley Richter, of the O’Neill ball
team, were in Creighton last week
where they helped that city to win
the four games they played during
lheir annual fair. The boys have
been in great demand by base ball
magnates in this porton of the state
the past month.
M. R. Sullivan was down from At
kinson Sunday. It was reported that
Michael was on a scouting exhibition
for league players to assist his team
in their game against O’Neill tomor
row, and spent the higgest part of the
day looking for George Stone, the Sr.
Louis American League slugger, who,
be had understood, was in O’Neill.
We do not know whether he succeed
ed in ,finding him or not before he left
town.
.Jolm McNichols arrived home rrom
Butte last Saturday evening and will
remain here for an indefinite period.
The mining of copper ore at Butte
and Anaconda has been discontinued
and several thousand men have been
thrown out of employment and the
coming winter promises to be a severe
one to those miners with families who
are,unable toleavethese famous camps.
•John says most of the young men have
left the camps for their former homes.
Coleridge Blade: There are some
things that happen in all print shops
which cause the force to smile, but
the most common one is the charge of
betraying secrets. An editor will be
told something of a private nature,
strictly on theq. t. and the first ten
men he meets will tell him the same
thing as an item of news. Then in
time he hears that this great secret
leaked out through the newspaper
office. It is just as well to say that
print shops’ morals are limited to few
laws but those few are inexorable, and
no one of them is observed with
stricter fidelity than “mum is the
word.” On the other hand when fifty
or a hundred people are told the same
“secret” there are chances that it
will leak out.

SPORTS AND THE SPHERE.
The Basic Pursuit In Most Games Is
to Drive a Ball.
Some day there will arise a patient
investigator who will work out this
problem, Why are most sports but the
variants of one object, the propulsion
of a sphere?
Billiards, baseball, polo, golf, sling
ing, marbles, squash, handball, foot
ball, rackets, cricket, hockey, bagatelle,
tennis, shooting, pelota—the basic pur
suit in each is to drive a ball, tlie pro
pulsion of a sphere.
Tipcat, shuttlecock and top spinning
are the employment of modifications of
the sphere, and archery Is but another
method of provision.
It Is a strange limitation of form,
and there must be a reason. Those who
delve Into origins may ascribe the
whole motive of sports to some long
armed, hirsute ancestor who first
threw n pebble at a fellow cave dwell
er and found It great fun.
Or It may be poor mortal’s attempt
to get In a small fashion Into the tre
mendous scheme of the universe,
which Is the everlasting movement of
the spheres. Or It may be that sports
are framed in Inevitable obedience to
some Irresistible law of nature.
At any rate the fact is sports are
based on the propulsion of the sphere,
and some one ought to find a reason
therefor.—New York American.
