“Ghost Towns” Still . Do! Western Prairies “Ghost towns,” standing as memorials to those days when the trails and higlhways of the mining country were choked with frenzied gold and silver seekers, still dot the West. They were once promising towns that rose over night on the sites of mythical mineral lodes, only to fade away under a tangle of weeds and tumble-down shacks when leads were lost or petered out. : The fever and excitement following a “find” . always brought a motley army of traders, toilers; gamblers and adventurers to the scene, eager to risk their fortunes in the hope of emerging from the feverigsh contest in possession of great wealth. :Now only the windswept ruins, blackened with age, remain to testify to the enterprise of those who trudged the hills and sunscorched deserts in quest of hidden treasure. e :

Of all these “ghost towns” there is one that stands out above all the rest, according to Popular Mechanies Magazine. For a mushroom ecity, Rhyolite, Nev., was unusually well built, all the more remarkable when it is considered that it was built on nothing more substantial than the most speculative stock proposition with no actual deposit having been found. In 1905, Rhyolite had a population of more than 10,000, and so well established did it appear that two railroads entered it. Today there is not a single inhabitant in the town and the beautiful railroad station which would do credit to any enterprising community of 25,000 is all that remains of the railroads. It stands deserted with all interior woodwork torn out and no rails leading to it. : Two three-story office buildings of reinforced concrete and a fine eightroom schoolhouse were also erected. One of the buildings and the schoolhouse have been razed to salvage their material. The few remaining buildings still intact are in various stages of decay. : ) : In the residence districts can still be seen the most perfect specimen of bottle house in the West, a very elaborate affair consideringg the material used. The walls are xnade of empty glass bottles laid in cement with their bases out. The bottle house is to be maintained as a curiosity.

“All Qut for Tea!” While on the subject of drink, it is timnely to refer to the tea drinking habit of the New Zealander. I don’t know where he acquired it, 3fbut he has it bad. The trains stop at unexpected times in order that the passengers may rush out and get a cup of tea, and thus prevent a horrid death by tea starvation. ; ’ ' One day we had paused for a considerable time at a station and the conductor had. sounded the bell and everybody piled on board. The signal to start was given, when gn;excited guard came galumphing down the platform. “The engineer hasn’:t had his tea!” he shouted. { So we waited some minutes more while the engineer had his tea, after which, everybodyhap}jy, we proceeded on our way.—John T. McCutcheon, in Hearst’s International-Cosmapolitan.

Hard Winter Presaged

The protection from firearms afforded wild animals in the Banff National park in Alberta has caused.them each year to become less afraid of humans, but such familiarity as that recorded has never been known before, and surely betokens something. If it does not forbode a hard winter, it may, on the other hand, herald a time more blessed when the lamb and the lion shall lie down together, Other premonitory symptoms of severe climate have been observed by trappers and mountaineers. The summit gophers and ground . squirrels are already “caching” their winter supply of pine burs, a sure presage, they say.—Montreal Herald.

Novel Fire Fighter

London’s fire-fighting equipment has been augmented by a unique. unit which not only carries a 6,000-gallon tank of foam-forming extinguishing chemicals used for combating oil fires, but also electric cutters, drills, searchlights and “group” lights. The che:nicals are carried in two tanks connected to an electrically operated pump powerful enough to throw a jet of the foam 150 feet. The electric cutters are used for going through the steel side of a ship. This new unit answers all district calls and is kept at fire-brigade headquarters.

Plan Ideal Marriages

Latest of the additions to Berlin’s myriad clubs and vereins is the Bachelor club. The members pledge themselves not to marry until they have amassed a capital of 100,000 marks (nominally $23,800) and then to marry none but poor girls. The club members believe that the root of the social unrest is misery and that most marriages that fail are shipwrecked on indigence. Therefore, they believe the ideal marriage demands a comfortably situated husband and a girl he loves. o ,

Hatched by Hot Water

‘Eleven pheasant chiék’s belonging to Clarence P. Billings of North Adams acknowledge a hot-water bottle as their mother. Set under a hen who abandoned them after sitting only a part of the incuhation period, they were removed by Mr. Billings. With the aid of a covering cloth and conwtant attention, the hot-water bottle ‘inished the job and hatched 11 chicks out of a setting of 15 eggs.—Boston (ilobe. - ;
