The DrmMiiierV Mory Topped ly thp Usual Quiet Mini hi tlu Corner. Everybody in the smokinir compart ment of the sleeper had told a story except one quiet, inoffensive sort of u man in the corner, and the drummer eyed him with suspicion as ho finished what he considered to be the corker of the entire combination, say.s the De troit Free l:res.-. Ao the drummer concluded the quirt num poked his head cautiously out of his : hell and coughed uliphtly a men di i who have lain dormant awiiilu and rouse them selves to utterance.

A LAK v;;t- A ROOF. A Jtoily of Vctor t.i -at rla TUr.t 3 Cr.ist - oil Over tvR- 1 all. A correspondent of the Geographical Magazine defacribo;; a ixjeuliar la!:e of Siberia. At Un.t viww it was a vast plain, surrounded by flelti i of ripuning wheat. The ticn:xn wa i midsunixier. The great halt la!;e i.t Obdorsk i. nine milei wide and seve- .ecu miles long, yet except in iv few pla..-s it is solidly roofed over with a d.:po;.it of salt which if. getting thicker and thicker every year. Our guide, who is cn old man, said that he could remember when the salt crystals first begun to gather upon the burface oi the v.uter. Year by year, owing to the evaporation of the water, the crystals became more numerous, and then coked together till this great roof formed. In 1B78 the water bjneath this Balt crystnl roof fou:.d un underground outlet into the uiwr Obi. This low ered the lake's tmrfucc about three feet, leavintf that dk.tauee between the water and the roof. Looking down through one of the ojicnines made for the purpose in the roof, wo saw a low-sided small boat. Our guide put us one at n lime into the boat. We lay Hat u our backs and looked up at the curiously beautiful salt celling overhead. Vc propelled the boat by pushing with our handb against tlie irreguluritiuwof the roof. The guide hold a long rope attached to the boat to prevent our going too far and yottiutf lo:.t a thing he baid it was ousy to do. it was like a palnc.' of enchantment, with the sun fehining down through the bait crystals, the ohu'.i wore so rich and wonderful. Many springs surround this lake. Their water Hows over the roof and evaporates there, and thus continually adds to its thickness. After many years the springs will probably become choked with their own deposits, and then the whole will gradually become covered with earth, and so a great salt mine will be formed a treasure for j inu aiucrmub uuuurcus ui yuum iu come.

At the same time they kept their eyes on the boundary line what they could see of it. The visible portion of this remarkable boundary cons: ted of upright iron posts. ot at inUwvals of one mile through th" land.

MADE FOn A KING. A Turnlp-Siicd Tmifplec " Tim' Two ;iml a ll-.i'.i I'liiiinli. A pouderon:. watch of anti'jue at tern disi)la,ved in the window of a San Francisco jewelry establishment on Montgomery street, attracts the at tention of the curious. The timepiece is four iii 'iics in diameter and de clared by the IJulletin to weigh 1 wo and a half pounds. It.; case looks like old gold, but is a composition of base metal. The chain attached to thir watoh is proportionately ponderous and bear , i ; jal ring !;:;' enough for the finger of u giant. The watch was made by John Hittlc'on. of London, two ccnriries ago. It v.'s... no doubt, a marvel of workmanship in tho-c days, and is still a timekeeper. It probably cost about one hundred pounds sterling, or five hundred dol lars in our money. The hands upon itfe ample dial mark seconds and Ilftlr of second as well as horn's and min utes. The dial also - hows the phases of the moon. Th: remarkable relic h not for tale. It i: owned by man of thi.i citv. wiio iiaa a a genllo colicotiou of such curiosities. The old watch has a history of some interest. Aljout two hundred years ago an Iiuglish sea captain obtained from the Ling of a tribe of fav::,vc. in the : outh f.eas .some valuable trading privileges. The king showed hit;; many favor., and one day the captain asked the insular monarch to u:y what most he would like to have ui to hurt from London. It plea-ed hi. royal highness, io inthnat-j that a big watch would suit him well. Accord ingly a watch was made to or it r a scale befitting his loyal jv. o;j.'i;.e. And great wa:-. hki pride therein, iiav ing no pocket, he appointed .i ontli watch bearer extraordinary to the sov eroign.
