CURIOUS TOWNS AND VILLAGES
Near a certain quarry in Italy is a.
town the inhabitants of which pay no•
rent or taxes. They are qunrry em-
ployes, who leave dug dwellings in the
lace of a steep rock.
A few miles from Ningpang-po,a
town of northern China, is a large vil-
lage composed of graves. It is a desert-
ed burial ground, which has been taken
advantage of by a clan of beggars and
thieves, who eat, sleep and make merry
in their grewsome surroundings. There
are several similar towns in the Celes-
tial empire.
- In New Guinea the village of Tupuse-
!el is most remarkable. The houses are
all supported on piles and stand out in
the ocean a considerable distance from
shore. This is to proteet the villagers
from the attacks of the dreaded head-
hunters always looking out for victims.
Other villages in this queer land are
perched unen trees for tbe same reason.
There is a town without a name on
Lake Huron. It is composed of 500 huts.
During the summer the dwellings are
hidden away in the brush tenantless,
but when winter' comes their owners
appear, Move them out on the tee, cut a
hole through the floor and the ice and
proceed to fish.
Athos, on the coast of Macedonia, is
the most curious town in the world.
The peninsula is known as the Moun-
tain of Monks. A score or so. of mon-
asteries doe the land and bodies of as-
cetics, kind to travelers, but eccentric
to a degree, occupy them. There is not
e woman to be seen anywhere in the
shops of the town. As a residence for
bashful bachelors Athos is cordially
-reeommended.
TIMELY HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
• To keep away roaches take green en-
cumber parings and strew them around
the kitchen tables and cupboards and
see how quickly 'the roaches will dis-
appear.
Before putting carpets and rugs away
for the summer shake thoroughly to
free them from dust, then sprinkle with
a powder composed of gum camphor
and powdered tobacco. Boll tight and
hang them away in clean flour sacks.
In closing the house for summer
elean gilded frames with sweet oil, and
to prevent flies from getting on theee,
frames rub them with oil of lavender.
Wrap books in newspapers and put
them back in the bookcase with a num-
ber of pieces of gum camphor.
To remove stains from mattresses
make a thick paste by wetting starch
with cold water; spread ibis on the
stain, first putting the mattress in the
•sun. Rub this off after an hour or so,
-and if the ticking is not clear try the
process again. Two applications will
make it so without fail.
A sure preventive for bedbugs: First
thoroughly whisk and dust the beds
in every crevice, then take 25 cents'
,worth of quicksilver and the white of
one egg and mix thoroughly. Take a
smell -sized brush and paint every crev-
ice and all along the side e of the bed,
If this recipe is followed you will never
•see a bug.—N. Y. Journal.
MONEY IN RARE DISEASES.
Patients in Hospitals Are Paid to Sub.
mit as Subjects of Selena
•
title Study.
In Near York the other day a Mall
was offered five dollars a week it he
would remain in the hospital so that
the doctors might study his disease,
called ankylostomiasis. This disease,
states the New York Herald, is ex-
trernely common in Egypt, India, JaPan
and other eastern countries, but very
seldom is it seen here, and medical men
are consequently glad of an opportunit-
ty to observe It.
But there are many patients in the
country with rare diseases, who, in-
stead of paying for treatment, could
obtain a substantial income as subjects
of scientific study. There Is, of course,
something abhorrent in the idea of
submitting one's body to experiment
Yet all do this when they are ill, for,
as a great authority asserts, every bot-
tle of medicine which the doctor asks
a patient to swallow is an experiment.
Sometimes the experiment is of more
value to the doctor than to the patient,
for in this way medical science is built
up bit by bit. •
Unfortunately, one cannot tell
whether he is of any particular value
or not. But it is the experience of
many hospital patients that they are
the object of very great attention
while lying in the wards. They are ex-
amined by the whole staff of physi-
• cians, and the students receive unusu-
ally long lectures round their beds.
Then it is time for the patient to
say tie is feeling homesick and must go;
• The ruse may not always succeed; but
in these days of ardent research medi-
cal men will not lose a valuable patient
for the sake of a dollar or two per
week.
Some years' -ago a Canadian named
Alexis St. Martin had the good fortune
• to receive a bullet wound in the stom-
ach. It did not kill him, and the
wound healed completely, but an open-
ing always remained. This fact was
worth a good income- to Alexis tor the
rest of his life. For nine years he
hired himself to a well-known physi-
cian, who was thereby enabled to
study the process of digestion in a way
it had never been studied before.
In a great many hospitals in this
country there are people under treat-
ment for ailments which puzzle the
medical profession, and in many cases
the symptoms of the new complaints
entail so little suffering that the pa-
tients would take their discharge but
for the fact that they are compensated
for "lying in." In cases of this kind
the heads of the hospital staff go into
the case minutely, and detail a clever
doctor to pay stride attention to the
patient.
How are you to know if you possess
a valuable disease? If your medical
man is anxious to get a photograph of
the affected part, if he brings • some
one else to see it, if he asks you to ap-
pear before a society, you may be sure
your disease Is a good asset.
NATURAL CALIFORNIA DIKE.
Strang. Volcanic Formation, Along
the Course of the Pall
River.
Nature is full of strange freaks,
and her agents—rains, storms, winds
and even dust—produce results that
might often be mistaken for the works
of human hands, though frequently
on a colossal scale.'
Volcanic activities are mighty fac-
tors, and through them some wonder.
phenomena are wrought. One of
•these may be seen along the course
of Fall river, in northern California,
says the American Inventor. This
stream is of considerable size, and
the work of nature's gigantic forces
may be seen between the upper and
lower cascades of the river.
It Is what might properly be called
a "volcanic dike." This dike extends
for some distance along the river,
near its banks and nearly parallel
to the co -use. It bears close resemb-
lance to a roughly constructed wall.
The top of this dike • is very rugged
and the height of carrying altitudes.
In some places it is twenty feet high
and several feet in thickness, and
again may be easily clambered over.
The rock of which this wall of na-
ture is composed is of a very porous
dharacter, bearing some resemblance
to pumicestone, though much more
solid and of greater specific gravity.
The entire region is of volcanic
origin and evidently was once the
scene of great eruptive activity.
Scoria and lava abound, though the
face of the country is now thickly clad
with timber and brush. The dike
begins and ends abruptly.
The wall of the dike is evidently
the result of voltanic forces, and thas
not doubt stood for many centuries.
It stands clear from clinging rocks,
has a narrow foundation, With verti-
cal walls, and is very straight. The
mystery is what forces of nature could
have piled up or left standing this
rock formation so uniform. This dike
has puzzled not a few geologists who
Mtve visited and examined it.

"Perhaps the most dangerous, con-
stantly dangerous business in the world
Is the one intoihich I have been tossed
—the businesslelephant man with a
circus," said a menagerie employe.
"There is a constant demand for 'bull
men,' but few will acecpt the positiou,
and most; of us fell into the business by
accident, and, showing talent or reck-
less disregard for consequences. made
• a success in handling the animals, and
have since been claseed as 'buil men,'
and offered that job and no other.
"Despite the perils, the constant
watchfu Mese, t he half-eonscious realiza-
tion that death is near, probably riot an
elephant man to the world to -day would
leave his strange calling. It bee a fas-
equation 01 a stt tinge kind, lied the keep-
er bevoluct, attached to the great brutes
that tremble at his word one instant
and the next may turn upon him and
trample litm.
"Good elephant men command good
pay.
"Most of thein live in a state of con-
stant watchfulness, realielng the
treacherous nature ot the brutes, and
those who do --not realize this sooner at -
later are trampled or hurled to death,
- "The elephant is the most treacher-
ous, moody, changeable animal in a
menagerie. They are twice as danger-
ous as tigers, lions or bears. The men
who handle the big cats in their cages
are forced to watch closely and carefully
while they are in the cages with them,
but that lasts only a short time.
"We 'bull men" live with onr gigantic
pets, sleep near them, ride them, order
them arounil, enter with them into
closed cars for long rides. We are not
afraid of them. Before many years we
become fatalists. V'7 expect 'them to
kill us some day, but hope it may not be
soon, just as the ordinary citizen expects
death some day.
"Trainers testify that the elephant
brain works nearer izer:e that of a
human being than the brain of any other
aniinal. The moods and tempers of the
big brutes change suddenly. The
weather, a hard night ride on the cars,
a bruised foot may turn the best natured
elephant into a peevish brute, ready to
strike and murder in an instant. But
these moods pass quickly, The great
danger is when an elephant is just turn-
ing into a rogue. Every elephant turns
rogue sooner or later, and they never
recover. They may be tractable for a
time after quieting down, but the attack
will return, and then probably a keeper
will be killed. The female elephants
turn rogues earlier and are more violent
than the males, and the females are the
more dangerous In ordinary times.
"Elephants form great attachments
for certain men and bitter hatreds 1 or
others, a hatred that means murder
when the opportunity arrives. But the
love of an elephant for its keeper will
not deter it from killing him when the
outbreak comes.
"There was one notorious elephant
who trepIed with a score of circuses
under different names, and was finally
executed, who loved one man, a friend
of mine, as never maiden loved him.
She would do anything for him. He
drank. She cared for him and drove
away everyone who tried to come near
when he was drunk and asleep under
her feet. He was discharged from sev-
eral circuses, and each time took the
elephant. No one else being able to
handle her, the owners of the shows un-
derstood that to discharge him was to
lose the beast, and tacitly she became
his property. But she in one rampage
trampled him until he is a cripple for
life, and she killed one of the rescuers,
defending fiercely the man she had
crushed,
"Good elephant men, ones who can
train the animals, command big sal-
aries. One whom I know receives $250
a week', -but the ordinary 'bull man,' re-
cruited trom among. the canvas hands
• or laborers who have no fear, receive
small salaries and accept the positions
'because the work is easier, being willing
to risk their lives to escape hard work,
These men, of course, are under com-
petent trainers."

Discovery of an Old Soldier Pro'ves
of Great Value—It Is a Great
Attraction, on Hot
Sundays, •
.11.4T14.444.4.
The high temperature which has pre-
vailed bere recently was responsible
for a great influx of visitors. Crowds
drove in from the surrounding villages
for the reason that the weather was
hot, some even coming front as far away
as Austin, 12 miles away over t he moun-
tain. Visitors will continue to flock bere
every Sunday throughout the summer,
says a Coudersport (Pa.) report.
This town never was planned for a
summer resort. It is in a gorge where
not a breath of air stirs and the ther-
mometer frequently registers 95 de-
grees. Nevertheless, the people of Pot-
ter county come here, because it is hat,
to get cool.
This is the home of the now celebrated
"Potter county ice Mine." Here wilted
humanity may enjoy an arctic atmos-
phere by descending into the shaft, or
can moderate the temperature by mov-
ing to or from its mouth, to catch the
currents of chilled air which the mine
sends forth.
The hotter the day the cooler the mine.
Atmospheric condensation goes on at
a great rate when the mercury ap-
proaches fhe 100 degree mark, and cur-
rents of cool air are produced which
circulate as far as 50 or 60 feet from the
mouth of the shaft.
It is now seven or eight years since
the fact became known that during the
summer ice formed freely on a wooded
hillside two miles southeast of Couders-
port, on the Sweden Valley road. The
village of Sweden Valley, consisting of
half a hundred empty houses. is, in fact,
a deserted village. Some milling or fac-
tory project which finally failed was the
occasion of laying it out. Had the in-
habitants known that in tbe pine for-
est less than 50 yards from their doors,
a veritable field of ice was spread out
during the summer, it is hardly likely
that they would bay°. pulled np stekes,
for there is profit in the ice mine and its
possibilities have hardly begun to be de-
veloped.
An old union soldier became possessed
with the idea some years ago that the
couutry's rich store of treasures had not
been exhausted. He determined to
search for mineral wealth on the for-
est -clad mountainside southeast of Swe-
den Valley. Shouldering a pick, he
tolled up the mountain one scorching
day for 100 yards. Selecting an open
space on a little plateau, he struck his
pick into the earth. The implement
met with no resistance from the loose
soil at the first blow.
On the second attack some hard sub-
stance gave forth a crunching, crack-
ling sound. The veteran withdrew the
pick and examined the point. Several
glistening and rapidly dissolving c•rys-
tals adhered to it. They were alike de-
void of taste and odor, The rapid melt-
ing only served to arouse his curiosity,
The veteran threw off his faded blue
coat and hackecl away with renewed
vigor until.at the end of an hour lie had
laid bare a fairly large mass of the glis-
tening substance. He examined it care-
fully and then ejaculated; "Ice, by
gum!"
The old soldier guarded his secret
closely, and returned day after day to
work at the excavation. In the course
of a week he had cleared out a circular
space ten feet in diameter and a dozen
feet deep. He lowered a lathier into the
hole, covered it with boards, and wen(
away for a few days. When next he vis-
ited the piece he found that masses of
ice covered the sides of the excavation.
These were shaped like huge icicles.
Then he began systematic observations.
He soon learned that on the days of
greatest beat the amount of iee is the
excavation was far in excess of that
found there on cold days.
Rumors of the "Potter county ice
mine" had spread far afield. Incredu-
lous persons visited the spot and left,
fully satisfied that the story was no
myth. It was not long before learned
professors from colleges and universi-
ties came to examine the ice mine -and
the neighboring territory. None, how-
ever, was able to account for the forma-
tion of the ice.
While digging around one day the old
soldier cleared away the loose earth
from a email opening, which proved to
be a cleft in the rock. A current of cold
lir rushed out and led him to believe
that a small tunnel led to a cavern in
the body of the mountain. Chemical
set ion of some sort going on in some sub.
terranean expanse may account for the
nanifestations on the local excavation.
rlxis solution of the problem, however,
never has been verified.
A narrow stairway was constructed,
.'rom the roadway up the steep moun-
I ainside to the rude platform surround-
ing the Ain't. and here the discoverer
and owner of tbe mine began in a modest
way to reap the profits of his ibid. Mild
refreshments were dispensed and a
small admission fee was charged.
As tbe cool nights of the high alti-
tudes came on with the advance of the
season, the ice began to disappear, and
at the out of winter it was gone, leav-
ing the thterior of the excavation per-
fectly &Y. and many degrees warmer
than it had been theoughout the entire
slimmer. The same phenomena have
been observed each year since the dis-
covery of the place. The ice formation
and the frigid atmosphere at and near
the mouth of the mine shnft are never
ceasing sources of wonder to all whO
visit the plaee. When the heat Is ette
treme an examination of the gray netee
which eovers the groural in the adjacent
forest discloses the fact that its inter,
stices are filled with ice.
There has been talk of bandit -1g a big
summer hotel en the InOuntain Side,
but the projeet luta not been realized.
