THE GREAT OAT CROP IN ILLINOIS.
Illinois has raised this year the cX-
traordinary crop of l00,000,000 bushels
of oats. This crop is third larger
than the largest of any previous year,
and it no doubt surpasseS the entire
crop of that kind in the entire country
not many years back. The oat crop
everywhere is n prodigious one this
year, and the value of it is manifest ;
it has direct bearing on the value of
live stock, and that interest again
enters into many important elements
of wealth. And while raising this
phenomenal crop Illinois has done
almost as we'll in all the other products
of her fields.

The trainingship MnneSoia, which
is now anchored in New York harbor.
cnlisting boys for naval training, seems
to find it very slow work to obtain any
large nuM1"r ui yauSc Who meet the
requirements OF the service. 1t was
the intention of the department to
enlist between four and five hundred
for training on board the Minnesota,
but so far, out of 40S examined, only
5G have been accepted. The difficulty
seems to be to find boys whose parents
are willing to let them enter upon a
naval life and who are physically and
morally up to the required standard.
/ They are taken between the ages of
fourteen and eighteen and must con-
form to certain standards of height,
weight and chest measure and must
further be what are commonly known
as good boys and enlist with the
consent of parents or guardians. No
fast boys or runaways are accepted,
and, as the average American youth is
either fast or likes his home too well
to try the rugged realities Of a scafar-
ing life, the process of securing the re-
quired number for the ships compile
mcnt promises to be very slow.

The HOwling Monkey.

We will begin with the bowling
tlonkeys, which are the largest found
IN America, and are celebrated for the
oud voice Of the males. Often in the
treat forests of the Amazon or Ori-
LOco tremendous noise is heard in the
oight or early morning, as if great
Rssemblage of wild beasts were all roar
ing and screaming together. The noise
may be heard for miles, and it is loud
er and more piercing than that Of any
other animal, yet it is all produced by
a single male howler sitting on the
branches of lofty tree. They are
enabled to make this extraordinary
noise by means of an organ that is
possessed by no other animal. The
lower jaw is unusually deep, and this
makes room for hollow bony vessel
about the size of large walnut, stu
ated under the root of the tongue, and
having an opening into the windpipe,
by which the animal can force air into
it. This increases the power Of it's
voice, acting something like the hollow
case of a violin, and producing those
marvellous rolling and reverberating
sounds which caused the celebrated
traveller, Waterton, to declare that
they were such as might have had
their origin in the Internal regions.
The howlers are large and stout-bodied
monkeys with bearded faces, and very
strong and powerful grasping tails.
They inhabit the widest forests; they
are very shy and are seldom taken cap
tive, though they are less active than
many other American monkeys.-Pop-
ulQr Science Monthly.

The Highland Warriors.

The appearance Of the Highland reg
iments which England hurried to the
front from both sides of Egypt was as
great a surprise to the Bedouins Of
Arab Pasha as to their grandfathers
in 1898. When the Highlanders Of
Sir Ralph Abercromby's army landed
at Alexandria in that year the Arabs
of the town, after wondering survey
of the stalwart Celts, ran to announce
to their friends the arrival of a host
of giants, so huge that the clothes which
they wore were all too short for
them. In the sepoy mutiny of
1857 the Highland regiments did
priceless service both at Lucknow and
Cawnpore, storming on one occasion a
high-walled garden defended by five
times their number of sepoys and lit
orally annihilating the whole garrison.
When Mana Sahib's soldiers first caught
sight of the plaids and kits they ex-
claimed joyfully that all the English
soldiers must have been killed and that
the sirkar (government) had had to
call out the women. But after their
first taste of a Highland bayonet
charge they abandoned this belief once
for all, and fell back upon the theory
that these terrible fighters had deliber-
ately adopted this female garb in order
to remind them of the wrong which
they came to revenge, viz, the massacre
of the English ladies by Mana Sahib.

The Trouble In Egypt.

In an engagement at Shaluf, a town on the
canal about ten miles above Suez, the British
drove the enemy out of their entertainments,
killed and wounded about 100 of them and
captured forty-fve prisoners.
The London Daily Re,Os has the following
account from its correspondent at Suez: ~
have just returned from Shaluf, where wit
messed the conclusion of fight in which $50
of our men, including Highlanders, Blue
jackets and marines, brilliantly defeated
twice their number of the enemy. The fight
lasted from IL o'clock this morning until
nearly 8 o'clock in the afternoon. The
firing of the Highlanders was remark
able for GOODNESS and steadiness.
The Gatlings in the top of the gun
boats worked with admirable precision,
and did much execution among the enemy,
who advanced to within hundred yards of
the bank of the canal. The success was all
the more brilliant owing to the extremely
difficult nature of the country, which
abounded with low ridges and watercourses.
Lieutenant Lang, of the Highlanders, gal
lantly crossed the fresh-water canal in the
face of hot fire and brought back boat,
thus enabling a company each Of the High
landers and marines to cross and take the
enemy on the right flank. The enemy
fought brayely. Their commander was
killed."

immediate death. He was accordingly

Recent Changes in Niagara.

Biologists assert that ages have
elapsed since the cataract of Niagara
began to retreat toward its present po-
sition. But the following facts show
that they have not made allowance for
the rapidity with which the waters
wear away that rocky dam. Says the
Rev. DR.. Prime, of the New York o.
Se1Uer
One who returns to Niagara after a
long absence notes the marked changes
taking place in the face Of the cata-
ract. My first visit here was made lin
the year 1914, thirty-seven years ago.
Then the broad eXpanse of Table Rock
was the platform on which successive
thousands stood. Many crept softly to
the verge and looked into the abyss.
Others more cautiously lay on their
faces and gazed at the crystal current
as it broke into jewels and fell in
stream from the awful height.
Now the broad platform has fallen,
and the work of undermining is going
still further on. In forty years more
the present standpoint will be in the
depths below. But more remarkable
is the change in the shape of the Horse
shoe Fall itself. Then it was perfect
segment of acircle, so nearly like the
heel of a horseshoe as to suggest the
fitness of its name. Now vast masses
of rock have been dislodged in the
middle of the curve, making sharp
and wide diversion of the current, sd
that the torrent pours into midway
gulf from which the mist rises con-
stantly.
This does not diminish, but perhaps
enhances, the interest of the cataract.
1t breaks the circuit, destroys the per-
feet symmetry of the curve.
1t proves that the recession of the
fall is going on with far greater force
than Mr.. Lyell and his brethren in ge-
ology calculated when they supposed
they had estimated the ages by the
progress upstream of the verge of Nj
,agara.
If in half the lifetime of modern
man such changes have occurred, what
may not have been wrought by these
mighty forces of nature in 5000
years?
