A FEW ODD ISLANDS. □ DESCRIBED 3Y THE WAYNE COUNTY (PA.) MAN. j I hey Float Around lu a Careless Sort | of 1-ashicn, With an Ocenslonnl , Queer Frrak, One Being 1 to Spin 3 Around Like a Monster Top. t “I read about Hie floating islands off . the mouth of the Mississippi the other . day,” said the veracious man from Honesdale, Pa. “That reminded me that my own little old county can boast a few islands of the sort. What county? Wayne, young man. You’ll find it on the maps due north of Pike county. You city chaps have an idea that all of northern Pennsylvania is Pike county in expansion, but yon were never so much mistaken about anything in your lives. Rjke county is all very well in its way, but its way runs to fish liars and rattlesnakes. Now, Wayne has none cf the latter, but of the former— well, talk about Pike county fishing! Young fellow, Pike county isn’t a marker to Wayne when it conies to downright, honest, clean ent piscatorial sport. Pike may lie about it better, but when you come to sift the facts from the fiction before an investigating com mission you’ll find that Wayne catches the biggest trout and the fightingest bass every time, and don't yon forget it. “But I started to tell you about the floating islands in the old county. Way back in the twenties the Delaware and Hudson Canal company gouged a channel in the face of the earth from Rondont to Honesdale and called it a canal. For reservoirs and feeders to this canal the level of ponds and lakes along the route was raised by means of dams from 12 to 20 feet. While the dams were in process of building the timber about the ponds was felled up to the artificial water line, and in many cases really valuable lumber was left to decay where it fell. These dead trunks formed, when the water rose to its newer level, the basis of these floating islands, which may be found in so many of the lakes of NVayne county. Intertwining branch es and twigs of the trees themselves and large quantities of underbrush served to bind the logs together in something like a solid mass, thereby forming rafts of more or less buoyancy and size. In the course of time water weeds of va rious kinds attached themselves to ths raft, and eventually became a part of it. Gradually a light, thin mold ac cumulated on the island, and in this mold birds planted seeds and grain, which, sprouting, growing and finally dying and rotting, did their part in the making of the whole. All of the larger islands bear from one to a score of trees, many of which have attained a consid erable growth. “You might suppose that to walk upon or to fish from one of these islands would be a source of some danger, but, aside from an occasional wetting of ths feet no accidents from this cause have ever occurred, so far as I have been able to learn. The sensation produced by walking on a floating island is very similar to that which you and 1 have both experienced when, as boys, we ran on thin, young ice, or thicker old and rotten ice. You remember how the ice used to bend under your weight as y>>u ran across it, sometimes sinking nearly a foot and then with the next step ris ing to meet you, possibly throwing you and perhaps giving you a ducking? Well, it’s the same way with the float ing islands, but with the element oi danger eliminated. It has the same fas cination. “Strange as it may seem, very few of these floating islands have become per manently anchored to the bottom of the lakes. They are as nomadic and as un setth .1 in their habits as the Arab. They 1 :ck what we country people call stick-to itivenesa. They are the con trariest cusses that ev«-r happened. Sometimes a mere breath of wind will send one of them scooting from one end of. the lake to the oth< r and again you couldn’t budge that same island with a 100 ton, compound freight locomotive, and a political pull. Once thoroughly domesticated, however, they make ex cellent weather vanes, for they invaria bly seek the lee shore of the lake. “I recall a peculiar thing that hap pent >1 y< ars ago to the island in White Oak pond, near Aldenville, some eight or nine miles to the north and west of Honesdale. By the way, this particular island is the largest of the lot; so large, in fact, that the center rises fully ten feet above the water line. The farmer owning this island proposed erecting a summer house on the elevation, but was obliged to give it up owing to his inability to lay a proper foundation without driving piles, and to do that would result in nailing the island tc the bottom. “W, 11, as I was going to say, this is land one day eloped with a southwest zephyr, which promptly deserted as soon as it had got its consort into the middle of the lake. There it floated in a sultry summer sun, with no means of motion in itself and milking time ap proaching. Presently the edge of a lit tle breeze from the northwest struck the wanderer on the port quarter and things began to look a little brighter. Unfortunately for the island, however, at about the same moment that the first gust landed a wind of equal intensity came up from tlto southeast and its edge caught the island on the starboard bow. In less than a minute these two contrary winds had that island spin ning around like a top. Y’ou may be lieve this or not, as you like. I can show you the island any time that you 11 come up to the old county.— Chicago Inter Ocean.

The temple space is a poet’s dream of gigantic columns, beautiful courts and wondrous avenues of sphinxes. A MIGHTY HARD PROBLEM. , The One nf InwiHlng n Bottle That ' j < lin't He Refilled. “1 read a little interview not long ago,” said a New Orleans grocer, “with a man who purported to give some particulars concerning the much talked of nonrefillable bottle problem. He said, among other things, that there was a standing reward of SIO,OOO for a practical solution, and I had to smile to note bow a fable, once set adrift, is continually vitalized by repetition. I happen to know something about the bottle question, and I can state posi tively and authoritatively that there has never been a reward of SIO,OOO or any other amount for such a device. “The impression probably originated with a circular that was prepared years > ago by a convention of northern distill ■ era. It was designed for the informa tion of inventors and stated briefly and clearly just what was essential ’to a i practical nonrefillable bottle—what tlie working part should be made of, what tests it should be able to sustain, what it should cost in quantity, and so on. I > doubt whether there is now a copy of that circular in existence, but it un questionably gave rise to the story that the whisky men of the country were hot after a bottle that couldn’t be re- > filled and had offered an enormous re ward for the same. “The Lord only knows how many lives have been wrecked by that yarn. Next to perpetual motion it has been the great asylum feeder of the mechan ical world. The problem looks easy > enough on the surface and uj ward of I 50 patents have been taken out on dis- ; ferent devices, but none of them works , under all conditions. The favorite scheme is a ball valve which would be closed automatically by pressure from above, but it is readily worked by a wire or an air pump. “At first the liquor men and makers of proprietary remedies that were largely counterfeited encouraged invest ors in the line, but after repeated fail ures they finally came to the conclusion that the thing couldn’t be done and have given it up altogether. Neverthe less the cranks still persevere, and every now and then one reads of a new bot tle that works like a charm. But you never see them on the shelves, and I make bold to say you never will”— New Orleans Times-Democrat THE EVILS OF FLIRTATION. Thome Who pable of Steadfast, Iniduriiig Love. “In flirtation there is the same dis sipated element of excitement so be guiling in gambling—uncertainty—in fact, we might add to the dictionary definition a still later one, ‘To flirt, gambling in hearts, ’” writes Frances Evans, “About Men,” in The Ladies’ Home Journal. “The flirt, like the gambler, feeds upon the intoxication of his passions. In a few years he becomes incapable of steadfast, enduring love, that feeling' which in civilized man is separated from the love of the barbarian by the element of ideality, of spiritual sympa thy as distinct from merely the attrac tion of brute nature. The open minded, open souled, manly man is apt to ex press himself in abrupt praise of what he likes, but the flirt knows better than j to take the edge off of a compliment by | giving it publicity. The flirt is invaria i bly confidential in his manner. A flirt i becomes unscrupulous in his relations with women, no matter how high a > code of honor lie may abide by in other I matters. His conscience is calloused on ; one side beyond remedy. There is no I genu which develops mure ranidlv than : u ..ii'pa luuiu lupiui/ iii.ui the flirtatious bacteria. Given a young man or woman whose pride is wounded more deeply than his or her love by a member of the opposite sex, then, if there tie a slight flirtatious tendency to begin with, it will be but overnight before the weed has grown to surprising proportions, choking out conscience and kindness while it sup ports and strengthens vanity, which stands close by wounded affections in th'- human heart. Would Have Done the Same. Rudyard Kipling undoubtedly got his wit from his maternal grandfather, the Rev. George B. Macdonald, a Wesleyan clergyman. It is related of this bright Macdonald that in the days when ha ■ ward married the father-in-law to be an aged Meth. dist with .xtrmm ly strict notions it: regard to the proprieties— was injudicious enough on one occasion to enter the parlor without giving any warning of his approach. The conse quence was that ho found the sweet hearts occupying a single chair. Deeply shocked by this spectacle the old man s. letnnly said: “Mr. Macdon ald. when I was courting Mrs. Brown she sat on one side of the room and I on the other. ” Macdonald’s reply was: “That’s what I should have done if I had been court ing Mrs. Brown ’ —Troy I’b - A Heroic Hemedy.

Gue evening last week two girls, who occupy a microscopic hall liedroom in a sw, H np t wn > ' G ‘>k the globes off the gas fixtures for hair curling pur poses and left them off, because it was easier to do that than to put them on again. Then the girls raised the window a trifle in order to cool the room and dutifully sat down to write home let ters. The inevitable happened, and when girl number one puUfl>l her pen in the air and glanced around ?he room in search of inspiration she saw the curtains in a blaze. She screamed. Girl number two looked around and echoed tyream. Then, with promptitnde discretion, both girls fainted. The 'ii’Wkms had attracted the attention of “the other girls, who rushed to the scene aud then did various and sundry stunts, according to their several dispositions. One fainted, several wept, a few ran out of the house, and the rest shouted for the one man on the premises. When he arrived, things looked rather hopeless. Curtains and woodwork were blazing finely. The floor was littered with prostrate forms, and when three girls have fainted on the floor of a hall bedroom there isn’t much space in the room for promenading. The man picked his way across the prostrate forms and ordered all the girls who were not in a dead faint to leave the room, but they didn’t go until he lost his temper and spoke with a force which isn’t common in boarding school circles. Then they fled; but, unluckily, there was an ene my in the rear. A vigorous and practi cal woman from Texas had been inspir ed to go after some water. Returning in mad haste with a large pitcherftil of water borne triumphantly aloft, shs collided with the retreating forces at the door. The pitcher struck the leader of the retreat squarely in the face and knocked out two of her front teeth, whereupon the injured girl made th« fainting trio a quartet and the water carrier dropped her pitcher and went into violent hysterics. Hysteria, as boarding school teachers know to their sorrow, is contagious, and the one case touched off the crowd. By the time teachers arrived upon tha scene the fire was out, but the survivors were in a bad way. It was necessary to put "nine-tenths of the school to bed and order wholesale doses of bromide. Even now the girls insist that they haven't recovered from the shock sufficiently to do bard studying, and the victims of the water pitcher are both under tha care of trained nurses. Ab for the man.
