The kinu of the Saharas

lCorres. Detroit Evening News.
The date palm though it seems to
flourish here, does not attain lts full
regal stature, nor does its fIuit often
come to maturity. To see it in its per-
fection-this liking of the Soharas -
one must go TO the desert where alone it
can stand, as the Arab says, with its
feet in the water, and its head in the fires
of heaven" 1t is the shelter, the sus-
tcnance, the life of the Arab, and he cul-
tiyates it with the greatest care. In
those parts Of the desert where 1t grows
water Circulates close to the surface Of
the soil, inclos ed iu sandy sub-stratun
beneath a bed rf gypsum. When tue Ara b
plants date GgCYe he has only to remove
this crust of gypsum TO give the tree the
aquiferous foundation il needs, which
is sometimes, i Is said, as much as -
feet below the surface Of the ground
1t is only the female tree which bears
fruit, and in order 10 fertilize the
ovary Of this fruit the Arab climbs the
tree in the month of April, when the
flower is ready for formulation, and in
serts in every female spathe portion of
the pollen Of the male flower. 1t is well
worth to hip, however, all the labor it
costs. Although it does not begin bear
ing till eight Years Of age, it goes on till
it is about 200. bearing yearly from 100
to 200 pounds of fruit in clusters of from
20 to 40 pounds. 1t affords the Arab
not only shelter and food, but when it is
past producing food q wine is made from
its sap, its roots are used for fencing and
roofing, and its leaves are made into
mats, baskets, sacks aud cord.

Alley Hill.
from Belgrayia. a,


There is a strange cone-shaped mound
at the east side of the town, called
Alley Hill. which is said TO afford proof
of some terrible battle fought at Rpon
III the middle Of the ninth century. A
confused mass of human bones, also
the bones and tceei Of horses, were
found i'll quantities 10 the bill; the date,
according to Mr.. Wlbran, has been
fixed by several stycas of Osbert and
Ella, EtheiIed, Eanred and AeiIed,
found in the seventeenth century in
digging the hill, which, before the com
mon on which il stands was inclOsed,
was used a. a gravel-pit. There is n
tradition that Ripon suffered greatly
from the Danish invasion Of S60, and
that the monastery was p!llaged and the
town destroyed, but there is no bistori-
cal record Of this. The ancient pros
perity OF Ripon seems to have owed
much to the frequent residence of the
archbishops OF York, who had not at
that time an archepiscopal palace near
their own city, and these visits helped
to increase the commercial importance
Of tue place. 1t appears to have gone
on tiourishiug till the time of Edward
H., when Robert Bruce stayed three
memorable days ut Ripon and threat
ened to burn the town unless the inhab
itants paid him loco marks; they pail
him about fourth of his demand, and
he departed with his army in pursuit Of
Edward; but when he came back to
Ripon and found that the rest of his
levy was not forthcoming he gave the
town up to his brutal soldiers, who,
among other atrocities, tried to burn
the minister and murdered several
priests

A DISPUTED BOUNDARY.

The Canadians are wrangling indus
triously over the northwestern boundary
of Ontario, which has been in dispute
for several years. In 1873 the matter
was referred to Sir Edward Thornton,
Sir Francis Hincks and Chief Justice
Harrison as arbitrators, and they fixed
the boundary on line running due
north from the northwest angle from the
Lake of the Woods and northeast along
the Albany River and James Bay to the
west line Of Quebec. The dominion par
lament has, however, refused TO ratify
the award, aud in case it is set aside the
northwestern boundary of Ontario will
be line running north from Thunder
Bay and east ward along the watershed
between the great lakes and Hudson's
Bay. The territory in dispute embraces
$1,000 square miles or nearly twice rs
much as the whole state of Michigan.
With it Ontario will have 126, 900
acres; without it only $4,000, 900
Should the award cf the arbitrators be
repudIated, which seems probable, thai
part of the disputed territory west ol
Thunder Bay will go to Manitoba and
the rest revert to the dominion, and this
will leave OatalIo the smallest Of all the
provioces. The Toronto Globe fgures

Valuable Discovery Of Asbestos.
tFrom the Tucson star.I


At depth Of ninety feet in the Apache
copper mine, in the Santa Catsrinas, q
vein of asbestos has been dis
covered. When found, the workmen
.eported 10 Superintendent Scott that
they had struck a petrifed log. He
thought it impossible, aud made an ex-
animation, and at first sight believed the
strike was what it afterwards proved to
be, after a careful assay and analysis.
The specimen shown us, in specific grav-
ity, is almost equal to lead, of a. fine
fibrous character. The fbers are COM
bined together in a compact mass, but
split off similar to straight-grained
wood. 1t is of greenish color, With n
while shade. The VEN appears per
manent at present, and, as matter of
course, adds great value to the property.
The finest fibrous variety, with easily
separable fibers, is used for making
cloth, which renders it indestructible by
the elements. In ancient times the cloth
made from asbestos was used to enwrap
dead bodies placed on the funeral pile,
so as TO preserve the ashes unmixed.
The finest quality is found in Savoy, but
il is abundant in Corsica. 1t is also
found in Cornwall and in several of the
Shetland Island. Small veins have been
discovered in California and Nevada.
The value in its native form is about
$500 per ton. 1t is now largely used in
the manufacture Of fire-proof materials,
such as cloths, papers, etc.

College Songs.

fOst-
College music can hardly be called or
iginal so far as composition is concerned,
for it is almost universally an adaptation
of some old air to new words. One of
the earliest student songs that became
popular in this country was "Benpy
Havens, o." 80 named in honor of Mr..
Benjamin Havens, who kept O small
mercantile establishment in the vicinity
of West Point, wherein he supplied
forums Of punch and other commodities
to the truant cadets at unseemly hours
of the night. The air was the one to
which in later years, the Irish "Wearing
Of the Green "has been sung. Almost
every eastern college had local song of
its own, which went to the tune Of
Benny Havens." For the introduction
Of the college song proper in this CONN.,
try we are, more than to any other one
map, indebted to Mr.. r. Storrs Willis,
who is now resident of this city. After
graduating in tho Yale class Of Al he
spent six years in Germany, and ON his
return took up his abode for while in
New Haven, and taught the students
there the Latin song Of "Gaud eamus, "
which be bad learned hmong the Ger
man universities. "Gaudeamus soon
came to be regarded by the Yale boys
with abont the same feeling as English.

sions Of festivity and Of sorrow, and il

pending with the "townies."

singing spirit, and in the course Of . few
years the students of all the large east

worth five or ten cents apiece, or ten or
twenty thousand dollars. The clay comes
from Martha's Vineyard, Governors Is
land, n. Y. and Lake Michigan. Three
hundred tons are used in a year. The
three kinds Of clay are mixed or ground
together. A workman with q pile of
clay beside him makes from it single
rolls Of clay, each large enough to make
pipe. The next worker places the clay
in a pipe mould, runs a wire iato the
stem part, puts it under lever and makes
the bowl. Fifteen hundred a day are
moulded 10y one map. The moulls may
be of various designs TO form the decor
ated bowl. The latest is the "land
league" representing eviction on one
side and PRISON life on the other. In
pipes, as III other things, novelties must
be given the smoking nublic, aud as those
interested in lend leagues are fair smok-
crs, this will he bought for use and for
patriotism.
After tue moulding process the pipes
are laid away to drv or draiG until the
water is well out OF them. They are
then put III tire-clay receivers, one hun
dred aud uinety i'll each, aud placed in

hclis seventy thousand pipes. They are
then heated to white heat. The red
clay pipe has a wooden stem AMI silver

by machinery designated for the pur.
pose. They are made black by the pro-
cess Of enamelug. The band is male
from circular piece OF brass, that is
to say, circular piece Of brass without
break or seam is turned into a cylinder
about an inch iu length. Some CT the
pipes are stained, while others are left in
the color Of the clay to be stained or COL
ored by the smoker.

THE HAY TRADE.

The New York Times says dealers
and brokers in hay doing business in
that city are deploring the lack of or
gauIzaticn in the trade. which has re-
suited in preventing the development
that would otherwise have occurred in
this branch OF business. II is insisted
that tie importance of the trade has
never been properly understood, or, at
least, taken into account, and that loss
Las resulted in consequence. There are
about six hundred dealers in hay in New
York, and the value of the commodity
handled there annually is estimated at
from $40, 100000 to S25,OOO,OOO. Not
only in New York, the greatest bay
growing state in the Union, but New
York city is the center of supply of the
commodity for the seaboard southern
states and for the West Indies, Mexico,
and Central and South America. The
American Grocer, in q recent article
calling attention TO the condition of the
trade in hay there, gives some interest
ing figures. 1t appears from them that
the bay crop stands third in importance.
In lSS0-the year for which the stats.
tics are piven-the value of the Indian
corn produced was S679, ia, 400; that of
wheat, S474, POI, $50. and that of bay
1871 ,81l,0S4. Cotton was next on the
list, with a value of $3.50, ,266, ,242; then
oats, valued at $50, 243, ,565; then pota-
toss, SSl, ,062, ,2l4, and then tobacco, $780,
4l4,615. As to the paying quality OF
the crop, it appears that the hay yielded
q return of sl4.3S per acre.. or SO. SO per
acre in excess of the corn. The FIVE
states Of New York, Iowa, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Ohio furnished Is, I32, 4IO
tons, or nearly one-half of the entire
supply, which aggregated 1895, ,233
tons. The best grades come from New
York state and Canada, except that
Maine hay is of better color. The New
Jersey hay is of fine quality, but is i'm
properly prepared for market. In the
west there is said to be great trouble be-
cause the hay Is made musty or sour by
not being properly dried. Southern
hay is generally lacking in fibre. One
of the great complaints in the trade is
the use of hickory or other heavy wood
in baling. 1t is said TO be an everyday
occurrence for baled hay to come TO
market with the wood weighing from Is
to Is per cent. of the whole. Among
other drawbacks to the development of
the trade there are said to be the lack Of
system in gathering statistical informa-
tion, the absence of recognized stand
ard of grade, such as obtains in Chi
cago. and the need Of way for "obtain.
ing concerted or authoritative action TO
induce growers to properly cure and
prepare the hay for market" The or
ganization OF an exchange for the trade
is urged as remedy for the evils.

A Heartless Gypsy,

The recent theft of little girl by a
gypsy reminds the Vienna Neue Freie
Press Of numerous instances Of this
heartless crime which has been detected
in that city. Twenty years ago such
cases were not uncommon. One of the
most fiendish Of them caused great ex.
element in Vienna. An old gypsy
woman had been accustomed to sit and
beg for aims day after day at q street
corner. She held in her arms little
child, whose piteous cries attracted the
attention Of psssers-by, and SO excited
their sympathy that the old woman was
fast getting rich from the coins which
they dropped into her hap. At length
suspicion was excited, and the police
made an investigation. They found the
childs back covered with minute wounds.
