smallness of the world.

DR.. MoseIy, after three years and half
spent in ayoyage of scientific exploration
around the world, says the voyage left deep
impression of the smsllness of the earth's
surface. We 1--we in the depths of the at
mosphere as deep as sea animals live in the
depths OF the sea. Like these, we can crawl
up into the shadows, or mount at peril in a
balloon; but the utmost extent of our verti-
cal range is no greater than we can walk
horizontally on the earth's surface in a
couple of hours. If there were land all
along the equator it would be possible to
run around the world in a tram in less than
three weeks. A walk Of four. miles day
would bring a man from Behring Strait to
Cape Horn in about seven years. The earth,
as a component part of the universe, may be
com pared to small isolated island on Its
own surface. As, in the course OF ages. such
an island develops its own peculiar insular
fauna and fora. SO probably on the surface
OF the earth alone has development of nj
trogen occurred in . manner to produce the
various forms of animal and vegetable life.

Slauntiess courage and the fury 0tlBgNls they
rush on without the least concern Tor fAe
hundreds falling in their ranks, or the bf>dies
barring their way; they pres .. on 70 gss TO
neither to the left nor right nor dreaming
OF hiding for moment behind rstones Or
bushes. They charge forward, aor this -rea-
son preferring the open held. Naturally
courageous ond vain of their proves. they
firmly believe that their need only follow
kba above mentioned tactics and they must
= the day. As for the loss they suffer
thus advancing in great numbers,
b are Indifferent to il, for the
pie reason that they are so accus-
ped to Wholesale slaughter as one OF their
Fly customs that the sight OF their COM
i4des falling in att directions has no effect
upon them. Where is there another tribe
like the Zulus and their branches IN South
Africr? These men are ruled by savage
despot. They are trained as soldiers all
their lives in regiments, properly ofhcered,
all, in fact in correct mill
tary style, as nearly as they can follow
it. 81 When ranged in order of battle
each man holds g gun in his right hand, q
small shield is strung round his left arm, and
in his left hand he holds long and short
assegai. Their skill with the gun being any
thing but great, they. content themselves by
beginning the attack with couple of volleys.
The gun is then thrown down, and they rush
| upon their opponents in a dense mass, taking
the long assegsi in tie right hand. At about
40 to go PAGES they pause in their headlong
| career, and hundreds and thousands OF
/ spears are hurled at the enemy. Then the
short sssegai is taken in the right hand, and
| the charge is resumed When within few
yards of the enemy they make one last mo
mentary pause. only to soap the short assegai
short off across the left knee, and then their
favorite hand-to hand conflict ensues. Thus
| the fight becomes slaughter, generally end
