In the great basin between the Rock ies and the Sierra Nevadas lie the ghosts of many dead lakes. Rivers still 11ow down to the dry edges of these one time great reservoirs and are lieked uy by evaportiou and the chi noo: wini':. Of all the ali:es that once lay there only Salt Iike. Lake Tahoe and Bear lake ::re Ift. The Southern l'aciiie rolls for 11;7 mile: across the bed of what was once Lake Lahontan. and passengers gazing idly from the windows may see the terraces and wrinkles in the crust of the fossil lake wnich nature destroyed nIaes ago. Akin to tht'se ghost lakes, says the New York Sin. are the lost rivers of the southri-est. rivers that flow with all the swiftness and clearness of other streams near by, then disappear into the earth as mysteriously as if they were spirit streams. In the valley of the Rio Grande there are many little rivers of this kind. .Tust south of San ta Fe is the river Hondo, which flows broad and deep for many miles, then suddenly spreads out over a sandy plain and disappears. A few hundred feet from where it goes out of sight there is only sand as dry as dust itself. Some of these streams end in tiny brackish lakes, but most of them disappear in the sand beds. On the coast of Mexico. there are clear water streams that discharge into the gulf from underground chan nels many feet below the level of the sea, thought to be the same waters that disappear farther up in the States. In the valley between the Pecos and the Rio Grande, beginning near Sandia mountain, is the bed of an old river with all Its tributaries, its falls, its shallows and its fascinating bends. It is 300 miles long and many'feet wide, but it is only the ghost of a river, for there Is no water there. It passes by the ruins of Gran Quivira, its bed is strewn with broken lava, and It ter minates in a salt marsh. The Inians have a legend that long ago the waters were deep and swift there until one day a great fire swept down the valley, lapping up the waters, leaving the bed empty, the banks barren and the val ley desolate forevermore. Crater lake, Oregon, is said to have the greatest depth of any fresh water lake in this country, its maximum depth being 1,990 feet. Lake Tahoe is possibly next in the enterprising effort to send water down to quench the fires In the center of the earth, for the measuring lead shows 1,645 feet there. When there-is the slightest indica tion of indigestion, heart burn, flatul ence or any form of stomach trouble take a little Kodol occasionally and you will be afforded prompt relief. Kodol is a compound of vegetable acids and contains the juices found in a healthy stomach. Kodol digests what you eat, makes your food do you good. Sold by Whipsawed. Daniel Webster, Tazewell and Gen eral Jackson's secretary of the navy were once walking together on the north bank of the Potomac, and while Webster lingered a little in the rear Tazewell offered to bet Branch a $10 bat that he could prove him to be on the other -side of the river. "Done," said Branch. "Well," said Tazewell, pointing to the opposite shore, "isn't that one side of the river?' "Yes." "Well, isn't this the other side?" "Yes." "Then, as you are here, are yon not on the other side?'. "Why, I declare," said the victim, "so I am! But here comes Webster. I'll win back my bet from him." As Daniel came up Branch saluted him with, "Webster, I'll bet you a $10 hat that I can prove you are on the other side of the river." "Done." "Well, isn't this one side?' "Yes." "Well, isn't that the other side?" "Yes, but I am not on that side." Branch had to pay for two hats and learned that it is possible to bet both ways and win upon neither. I'll stop your pain free.

My friend at about this season last year was motoring through a remote region of Ireland, and one day he came pon a poor old woman seated, with all her bumble furniture about her, in the middle of the road before her lit le cabin. My friend was profoundly moved. Here before his very. eyes an viction, a real Irish evicition, was tak ng place. He got out of his car and gave the old woman a fiye pound note. "'Tell me,' he said, 'what is the touble, my poor friend?' "Bobbing and courtesying her grati tde, the old woman replied: "'Shure, sir, me ould man's white washin'.' "-New York Tribune.

W B rown & (o. COLORS OF SOUND To Note Them You Must Be In I Proper State of Vibration. Every sound, it is contended, con veys an idea of color to those who are in a proper state of vibration. Some years ago the humorists of this country were very busy Poking fun at some little verses that Stephen Crane had written and that a Boston house published under the title "The Black Rider." In some of these verses Crane referred to the colors of sounds, and this was the key for the humorists. They carried the thing to the most ridiculous lengths, making all kinds of sport of the suggestion that sounds have colors. At that time Crane and I were to gether a great deal-almost inseparable chums, in fact. One night we sat on the pier of the Crescent club country house at Bay Ridge until almost day break. It was a moonless. starless night, and the sailing vessels which could be seen at all looked like ghosts gliding by. Presently out of the dark ness came one of these small vessels, headed almost directly toward us. It looked as if she were going to strike the pier, but at that instant a loud voice on board gave some order, and she veered enough to miss it. "Great heavens! What a green voice!" exclaimed Crane. "What do you mean by that?" I asked. "You are always giving colors I to sounds. Do you do that for some i poetic effect?'" "Certainly not." he answered in a , tone of surprise, surprise which In- i creased to amazement when I told him I that sounds did not suggest colors to < me unless the sounds were associated 1 In my mind with things of certain col- I ors. "If I heard the roar of a water fall which I could not see, It might j suggest the colors that I naturally as- 3 sociate with falling mater-the pale I green tint of the falling sheet and the i white of the splashing foam-but that i is merely association of Ideas. Some- j thing else might make precisely the 4 same sound and suggest a wholly dif- i ferent set of colors to me." I This was wonderful to Crane. Until then he had supposed that everybody I saw, or rather heard, the colors of dif- 1 ferent sounds. He thought there must I be something lacking in me that I did I not hear these colors. I told him I be- i lieved most people lacked the same g quality, and be doubted It. "Why," said he, "we know, as a mat ter of clear demonstration, that sound and color are the produets of the same thing-motion. You remember Hux ley's illustration-fasten one end of an iron bar to an axle. revolve the axle i faster and faster, and you will get I every degree of heat, sound and color i until the iron disintegrates." I Theoretically I could see that all i right, but when some sound smote our ears and he asked me what color it I suggested to me I was totally unable 1 to say that it suggested any. To him, i however, there was not a sound that did not have its color as distinct to his ears as the colors of the stars and stripes are to my eyes.-Willis Brooks n Brooklyn Eagle. ' A Memorable Day.

CHANCE FALLS DANGEROUS, o a Tumbler Loses His Balance Acci dentally and Goes Down His Skii Will Not Be a Factor In Saving Him From Getting Hurt; "If there Is one thing more than an other that pains me," said a leading ac robat, "it's these stories you read some times or hear told of circus tumblers and clowns who in falling accidental ly have exercised their skill to escape unhurt "You read of an acrobat falling out of a window, but. with rare presence of mind, giving a sort of wriggle just as the sidewalk draws near, landing on the back of his neck in precisely the right way and then bouncing to his feet and bowing gracefully to the star tied spectators. "Oh, rve read of such things time - and time again, but, take my wordthey are all fakes pure and simple. My exr perience has been that if a tumbler loses his balance accidentally he is just Ls badly off and will fall just as far md just as hard as the man or woman who does not even know how to turn i somersault I speak, asi say, from Atter experience, and no doubt any >ther circus or vaudeville tumbler would emphasize this should you )other to ask him. "The explanation is simple enough, f perhaps you have not grasped it al *eady, embodying as it does the fact hat tumbling Is a science and that. ery move, however careless or slip hod it may appear to the spectator, is a calculated move and that any tumble r fall proceeds in certain defnite noves from start to finish as exact and lerfect as a iroblem in arithmetie. "The act may incite roars of laugh er, but I wonder would the laughter ye so great did the spectators know iow that mirth provoking stunt had eeii worked over from point to .point md studied and practiced. Well, I iuppose it's like any other business 9here the glamour is all on the outside. "Speaking of tumbling in real life, rou should have been with the Fore >augh show one summer evening some rears back. We were doing a Sunday jump from Topeka, I think it wi=s,, to some little one tent town down the ine, and the members of the troupe. vere packed in a long caboose on the var of a freight train which was nade up partly of our property cars. "It was raining hard that night and )lack as a tent rigger's heart.- The ca yoose was so stifling hot that two or ree members of our troupe would go ip in the caboose tower every now' md then, open the lookout window md-drink in the air. "Finally the train came to a stand till, and there we stood for at least en minutes, with all sorts of rattling nd bumping going on ahead. At last Lfter about fifteen minutes one of the ;irls up in the 'tower called down hat there was a fire ahead. We all. trawled up, one after the other, and. ook a peep.

I was next, but as I aw the others disappear I reached p and caught the hand rail just as my ~eet dangled in the air. It was a mat-' ar of but a second to pull up again, ut before I had my feet fair on the tep I could hear from below a sort of ull splash and screams of gurgling error. "We got lanterns and ran down the ide of the trestle, thikin to find two lead persons, but instead werdiscor red in about a foot of water and six eet of mud the two tumblers and, edged in so 'tight they could .not noe.

A Feat of Memory. The geographer Maretus narrates an astance of memory probably unequal d. He actually witnessed the feat - d had it attested by four Venetian obles.

The audience as exhausted before the list, which ad been written down for the sake Laccuracy, was completed, and at the d of it the young Corsican smilngly egan and repeated the entire list with tit a break and without a mistake. hen to show his remarkable power he rent over it backward, then every al rnate word, first, third and fifth, and on, until his hearers were thorough Sexhausted and had no hesitation in rtifying that the memory of this ind ividual was without a rival in ,the
