orders him to 'get out OF this as soon as we

and fires joke at the landlord as we go in.
He looks over my shoulder as 1 register after

and watches the clerk assign me to 9S. "Nine-

ACCORDING to an English geographical
writer, there are four vast areas still to be
opened up or traversed by civilized man, and
which, among them, constitute about one
seventeenth of the whole area of the globe.
OF these, there is the antarctic region,
which, in extent is about seventy-five times
that of Great Britain; the second lies about
the north pole; the third is in Central Afri-
ca; and the fourth in Western Australia.
The south polar region referred to is almost
eonterminous with the antarctic circle. The
vast African area reaches on the west very
closely to the coast, and it is only near the
equator that it has more than superficially
been driven inland. In Australia, the great
undeveloped region is that which lies west
of the track explored from north to south
by Stuart, and which now forms the line of
telegraphic communication across the conti-
nent

THE report of the discovery in Ontario of
large forests of pine easy of access from the
Spanish river will tend to allay the fears of
those who were alarmed by the statement
made not long since by The president of the
Iumbermen's Association at meeting in
Chicago. Still the wanton destruction of
timber which has been going on for long
time has become amatter of serious concern,
and it is therefore pleasure to learn that
the Shaker community at Enfield, Connecti-
cut, are actively engaged in planting forest
pine seeds A movement of this kind mer-

lion and aid. 1t is national benefit

J. A. WILLIAMSON of Iowa, who is said to
be under consideration as Secretary of the
Interior, is big Western man with a broad,
close, thick brown beard and rapid way of
discharging business. He was Commission

the latter once began an inquiry which
seemed designed to find out something disa-
greeable about Mr.. Williamson, he came in
the end to be perfectly satisfied with him.

YOUNG women have taken remarkable
place in the late examinations of the Lon
don University. The class for mathemati-
cal honors had but three members, one OF
them girl, who took the palm; girl, also
came out ahead for English honors, and
two of the four for German honors were
girls, who again distanced their male rivals;
one of the three again, placed at the head
for pharmaceutical chemistry, was girl;
and Miss Prideaux was first in the honors
list for anatomy, coming from the London
School Of Medicine for women, and beating
both of her rivals from Guys Hospital.
