ANOTHER MIRAGE STORY
I | I |H
A few years ago the "mirage city"
was probably the most fascination ad
vertisement that Alaska bad. It was
much more attractive than even the
totem poles that have takeo its place as
a bait to tourists. The mirage was said
to be seen frequently from points alone;
the coast. Whether anybody ever
really saw it is open to serious question.
However It is not at all impossible, as
similar phenomena are frequently re
ported. In n recent issue of a reliable
journal there is given a description of
another such mirage having been seen
by many people living at Doohula on
the extreme west coast of Connemara.
Ireland. The discretion is sent to the
paper by a man whose character foi
truth is vouched for. It reads:
"Sunday, Aug. 2, was a lovely, cleat
day, very hot. and no clouds, wind
slight, and direct in from the sea. A
beautiful mirage was seen, lasting from
II a. m., apparently about eight or ten
miles off, near some small rocky islands
in the Atlantic. It appeared as a town,
with a long street, a promenade down to
a tine sandy beach, and a castle a little
further west. Many people came out
from Clifden. six or seven miles away,
to see it, and those- who hail opera
glasses could see the houses and the
people w ilking about in the streets.
We have had mirages before, but never
so clear and plainly defined or of such
lonjr duration."
The contributor adds:
"There is no town or place of the sort
near. I do not know if the reflection
could come across the Atlantic. If so,
Coney Island, near New York, with its
big castle (known as the Klephaut) at
the end of the town, would auswer the
description."
It is hardly likely that Coney Island
could be pictured in the air without be
inf recognized. Perhaj* the tables
have been turned and Sitka caught up
io the clouds at the other end of the
world. Sitka has a castle and answers
the description.
HOW RUSSELL SAGE MANAGED TO GET
ALONG
dow Russell Sage made his money,
U>e latter accumulat.on of it, is not
a secret in the financial circles of Wall
street. But the executors who have
been handling his estate have recently
made tbe system known to the people
at large by statements made public.
When they took hold of the estate after
his death they found that no less than
$2i?,000,000 was due it from loans raa.1e
to stock exchange houses on call. It
was a branch of the money market of
which he made a specialty, and for
which be carried a huge amount of
cash. In times of severe tnonev stress,
when call rates would rise to 20, 50 and
even 100 per cent, it would be possible
for him to reap a fortune in a brief
time, and it was noticeable that he
would be exceptionally long ou cash
when such times came on, and he
charged all the traffic would bear.
Meantime it is to be noticed that the
executors of the estate, Dr. John P.
Munn and Charles W Osburn, hive
helped themselves or been helped to a
generous share of the great fortune.
They have been two years in settling
It and received for their services
while Mr. Sage left f'25, 000 each to his
nephews and nieces. It will be seen
that Mr. Sage knew the value of mon-y
and expresnd that knowledge in more
way9 than one.
