Remarkable Body of Water n the Heart of th, Csarka. t t . In Oregon county. Mo., and Fat ton county, Ark., are grouped Grand gulf, Mammoth spring and Spring river. Grand gulf is the) crowning wonder of the jfrqup. Th shallow streams, about one-fourth '. of a mile distant from each other, flowing in ttie 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 tun neled by the action of the water, and the natural bridge thus formed is no less a curiosity and almost equal in eize to tho famous Natural bridge of Virginia. After passing through this moun tain the united stream strikes an other mountain ond tunnels it for several hundred feet and then spreads out into an immense under ground lake, the area of which has never been ascertained. Many par- tics have entered the tunnel and picnics have been held by torchlight on the margin of the lake, bnt still it remains a mystery. Xo light can exist long over the bosom of the lake, and nothing can lie heard save the faraway rumble of the waters as they rush on. This underground lake is a reser voir which supplies jmmmotn spring, the largest spring in the world, with its 00,000 cubic feet of water a minute. : The most surpris ing feature in connection with this -extraordinary natural curiosity if the fact that when these' great can yons are tilled with water even to the arch of the natural bridge, hun dreds of feet deep, the" volume of water in Mammoth spring is not in creased. Mammoth spring covers eighteen acres of ground 200 feet deep with crystal water. South west. , - ''r't A onitjr Flower, '.ia-f Can you imagine a blossom as large as a carriage wheel?

Fai some ex- ar up on the mountain ot Parag, 8,000 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 diam eter. It was carried in low lying, luxuriant vines. The natives call it bolo. It was found impossible to prcservo it fresh, - so they photo graphed it and kept soveral petals to press and by improvised scales found that a single flower weighed twenty-two pounds. It was after ward found to be a species of raf- flesia, first found in Sumatra and named after Sir Stamford Raffles. The new flower waa called Rsfflesia shadenburgia, in honor of its dis coverer.
