The imagination of man has always been impressed by floating islands. In ancient times such islands were regarded with superstitious reverence, and the romantic story of Delos- -the natal isle of Apollo and Artemis is but one of the many cases recorded in classical literature of vagrant islands in the sea. Pliny says that in the lake of Yadimonis there is a dark wood which is never seen In the same place for a day and a night together, and he describes the islands called Calaminne (L e.. "made of reeds"), in Lydia, which were not only driven by the wind, but could be pushed about from place to place with poles. Floating gardens some natural and gome artificial have flourished in many parts of the world from early times. They we particularly advantageous la regions exposed to floods, where a garden planted on terra firma would be ruined by these occurrences, while the floating garden is undisturbed by the rise of the waters. The famous floating gardens of Kashmir are a case la point The lake of Xochimilco, near the city of Mexico, is nearly covered with floating gardens, called chinampas, on fhich are raised vegetables and flow ers for the city markets. They are formed of floating masses of water plants, covered with soil and secured by poplar stakes. The latter take root and -surround the islands with living hedges. Philadelphia Ledger.

J' HINDU IDOL" i i Its Strang History Caused Mm. Cannot te Ordr It Dattreyvd. When Jinie. Carnot, widow of 8adi Carnot. died and ber will was read a clause in it caused considerable comment. This was to the. effect that a certain small Hindu Idol carved from a bard stone which would be found among her property must be taken out I and crushed until completely destroyed. Many marveled at this apparently singular request, for the idol seemed a harmless, ugly little thing, but ber Instructions were carried oat to the letter. The idol bad been presented to Sadi Carnot years before he bad ever thought of the presidency of Franc by friend who bad brouffbt it from India. Later be learned that there was a legend attached to it which asserted that whosoever would retain It In bis possession would rise to the fullest height of power In bis chosen profession, but die of a stab wound when at the zenith of bis career. M. Carnot traced the history of the Idol and found that for fJOO years the rulers who bad possessed it bad all died either In battle or by assassination from stab wonnds. Tet be laughed at the story, called the facts adduced by his search a mere chain of coincidences and retained the idol. lie died by a dagger in the hands of an assassin; hence Mme.

Below me was nothing but rolling mist that gradually took, on all fanciful shapes and colors. I caught myself wanting te descend, to drop suddenly into It and see what It was like. To escape this feeling I flew- higher and higher, until, venturing to look down again. 1 saw wonderful lights and shadows that sever before had bees revealed to me from the sky. I saw a dreamy city, a wonderful mirage, and I believe I would have forgotten everything but those exquisite colorings, released my levers, and" (Ha laughed.)
