4111 I'iiimK In (lit! Gulf.
Between the mouth of the Mississippi
rivef and Galveston, ten or fifteen miles
south of Sabine Pass, is a spot in the
Gulf of Mexico which is commonly called
"The Oil Ponds" by the captains of the
small craft which ply in that vicinity
There is no land within fifteen miles,
but even in the wildest weather the
water at this spot is comparatively calm,
owing to the thick covering of oil, which
apparently rises from the bed of the Gulf,
which is here about lifteen to eighteen
feet beneath the surface. This strange
refuge is well known to sailors who run
on the small vessels trading between Cal
casieu, Orange. Sabine. Beaumont and
Galveston. When through stress of
weather they fail to make harbor else
where they run for "The Oil Ponds," let
go anchor and rule the gale in safety,
this curious spot furnishing a good illus
tration of the effect ot "oil upon a trou
bled sea." St. Louis Republic.

There is a popular idea prevalent that
the minute letter "M" to be seen at the
base of the head of Liberty on the faco
of the present issue of silver dollars
stands for "Mint." mid is an evidence of
the genuineness of the coin bearing it.
This is a mistake. The "M" stands for
Morgan, George T. Morgan, who is tho
originator of the design. Upon the
wime side there ls.another "M." also tbe
initial of the designer Tine is to be
found in the waving locks of tho fair
goddess, and is so cleverly concealed in
the lines of the design that it can only
