AN , ELUSIVE LAKE.
Queer Antics of an Erratic Body of
Water In Switzerland.
In the cuutun of Valuta, lu Swltzer
laud, nt the foot of the great Aletsch
glacier, lies a small body of water.
Lake Marjelen, of which the Journal
des Voyuges rexrts a strange fuct
At Jrreguiur iutervuls every three or
four years Lake Marjelen completely
and suddenly disappears. The phe
nomenon always occurs during the last
days of August' Without warning the
lake empties ltwelf. and thegreut qunu
tlty of water that it contained dlsap
I wars through fissures in the rocks to
swell the waters of be river Rhone.
So rapidly does the lake empty Itself
that the water level of the Rhone rises
several meters in a few hours, and the
valley is flooded. An old custom
grants n new pair of shoes to the Drat
peasant who collies to announce the
(llsapiH-arauce of the lake to the In
habitants of the valley.
All the autumn, after the disappear
ance of the waters.' the basin of Lake
Marjelen remains dry, but during the
following winter and spring It grad
ually fllls again.

CONCENTRATION.
Do Only One Thing at a Time, but Do
That One Thing Well.
The man who makes good is the
man who can shut out of bis mind all
but one thing. An unsuccessful prin
cipal of a school once said that every
teacher ought to be able to do three
things at once. Of course be was
wrong. The teacher who does one
thing at a time nnd does it well Is giv
ing the pupil the best possible object
lesson In concentration.
We hnve to learn to think clearly
amid distracting noises, to go forward
on a straight and narrow way with
out diversions and excursions that
waste our time and our substance' and
to keep nt work regardless of the
"tired" feeling, the "anting" feeling
and whether the fishing Is good or not
When the soft breeze comes In at the
window we must stiffen the moral
fiber against Its allurement .We must
pin our attention firmly to the turgid
and dry geometry of a legal brief or
the serried Ilgures of the daybook or
the busy system of a mercantile estab
lishment and let every other tbonght
a wait Its turn at the end of office
hours.

What was the secret of his power? It
was that he would not let the Jury's
