In Oregon county, Mo., and Fui-1 ton county, Ark., are grouped i Grand gulf, Mammoth spring and; Spring river. Grand gulf is the \ crowning wonder of the group. The shallow streams, about one-iourtn of a mile distant from each other, j flowing in the same direction over : an elevated plateau, suddenly drop into canyons 500 feet deep. These two canyons form a junction half a mile below, where they strike a mountain lying directly across their path. This mountain has been tunneled by the action of the water, and the natural bridge thu6 formed is no less a curiosity and almost equal in size to the famous Natural bridge of Virginia. After passing through this mountain the united stream strikes another mountain and tunnels it for several hundred feet and then spreads out into an immense underground lake, the area of which has never been ascertained. Many parties have entered the tunnel and ni/MnV? havp hppn held hv torchlight v ' ?J C on the margin of the lake, but still it remains a mystery. No light can exist long over the bosom of the lake, and nothing can be heard save the faraway rumble of the waters as they rush on. This underground lake is a reservoir which supplies Mammoth spring, the largest spring in the world, with its 60,000 cubic feet of water a minute. The most surprising feature in connection with this extraordinary natural curiosity is the fact that when these gTeat canyons are filled with water even to the arch of the natural bridge, hundreds of feet deep, the volume of water in Mammoth spring is not increased. Mammoth spring covers eighteen acres of ground 200 feet deep with crystal water. ? South west. A Monster Flower. Can you imagine a blossom as large as a carriage wheel? On the island of Mindanao, one of the Philippine group, was found bv some explorers such a flower. Far up on the mountain of Parag, 2,000 feet above the sea level, some explorers were wandering when they came across great buds larger than a cabbage head. Greatly astonished, they searched farther and presently discovered a full grown blossom, five petaled and three feet in diameter. It was carried in low lving, ft - - *i l >'? " * :? ;?v?- < ''. ' - ?

It was found impossible to ' preserve it fresh, so they photo-' graphed it and kept several petals i to press and by improvised scales found that a single flower weighed twenty-two pounds. It was fterward found to be a species of rafflesia, first found in Sumatra and named after Sir Stamford Raffles. ! The new flower was called Rafflesia ! shadenburgia, in honor of its dis- j coverer, Dr. Shadenburg. I The Wrong Bird. A professional rat catcher in a j town of northern Pennsylvania be-! ing recently cal ed to another place | intrusted a number of ferrets to the | care of a neighbor. Upon his return he found, to his disgust, that owing to the carelessness of the neighbor several ferrets had escaped from custody. The rat catcher thereupon proceeded to bring a claim against the caretaker. The magistrate before whom the < suit for damages was brought dismissed the case. "No doubt," said he to the care- j taker, "you were wrong to leave the i doors of the cages open; but, on the ! m other hand," added he, turning to! ~ the rat catcher, "you were wrong < too. Why didn't you clip the wings ?. of the ferrets?"?Harper's Magazine. Detecting Crime In Ethiopia. The Ethiopian method of detect- 1 ing crime is quick and effective and has the great advantage of always catching some one.
