Mussulman sect known as the Scnous-
ans has for years been digging wells,
rrigating the land, and turning many
hundreds of barren acres into gardens.
Twenty-four years ago it planted its
headquarters in the desert near tho
western border of Egypt, built rcscr-
soirs, began plantations. erected CON
vents, and now population of eight
thousand people live at Jarabub, where
the so | has been restored to fertility by
their labors. There are large areas
in the Sahara that need only rain or If
rgation to cover them with verdurc.
Through these regions pass the caravan
routes, along which the fifty thousand
camels engaged in the Saharan com
mcrce bear their burdens.
Mr.. Anderson, the civil engineer who
last year completed sixteen years of
explorations in South Africa, between
the Orange and Zsmbesi Rivers, says
that the rain that falls for few weeks
every year in the great region known
as the Kalahara Desert covers the
blackencd. verdurelcss plain with SPLEEN

there, especially lions, leopards, and os-
triches, and he has counted in this
desert twenty-five lions in a troop, and
has seen two hundred ostrichcS in one
lock. Beasts and birds find Sustenance
this region where only a few bush
man hunters live. Far northeast OF
them on the semi-arid steppes of Kor-
dofan and Darfur millions of sheep and
camels exist on the scanty pasturagc OF
that desert region.

noses to get at the lichcns on which

north as Littlcton Island, and several
scores of them were killed by the Hayes
and Polaris expeditions. Musk oxen,
or their traces, have been found along
the shores of the great frozen sea as
far north as explorers have attained.
Lockwood, far north OF the supposed
limits of animal life, found traces Of
this wonderful quadrupcd, which grows
fat on the tender shoots of the Arctic
willow. and ploughs up the snow for
moss and lichens.
OF all parts of the earth the Antarc-
tic regions alone are comparatively
destitute of life. Few species of living
things in the vegetable or animal king
dom can endure the rigor of the South
Polar region. No terrestrial quad
ruped inhabits the land within the Ant
arctic circle, aud whales and seals are
the only mammals that enter Its area.

A NATION OF EGe-EATERs.

At Least Fifty Million Eggs Daily Consumed
by People in the United Statos.
There are at least fifty million eggs
consumed daily in the United States,

THAT is over four million dozen. and
at an average price will amount to at
least eighty thousand dollars. Thnh

quantity. The American people are
egg-eaters. As Il general thing thu
supply is equal to the demand, bu
about three years ago late after Jaau

What was the result? Europe began
to slip us picked eggs by the m il,o 5.
Shploads cane over. Prices went
down and the European picked cgg,
at fourteen cents dozen became i'm
mensely popular. This almost ruined
our home egg market. During the
months of April and May the eggs are
picked by means of solution OF Tine
water. They are kept until November
and December, and then come in to
lower the market. Fresh eggs, though,
are worth thirty cents dozen. "
where do the eggs in the United
States principally come FROM
From jersey, Delaware, Virginia,
North and South Carolina and Mary
land. The Western States, of course,
furnish large quantities. but not 50
much as the States mentioned. Nine
teen million two hundred thousand
eggs were shipped from Europe to this
country since the LIST of April to Sep.
TENDER. They come from Belgium,
Copenhagen. Hamburg, and the great.
est egg mart in the world, Antwerp.
But all these European eggs arc
picked, and although not half so good
as the fresh. yet they have the effect o.
lowering prices. All of the peasantry
in Germany, Belgium and Holland
raise large quantities of fowl. But il

"What is the reason that the farmer

A NOVEL CAPTURE.


How Herd OF Elk ana Deer was captured
In Colorado.
Captain Boyd, Private Secretary Of
Governor Eaton. has received " letter
from his friend, James S. Scott, Of
Egcria Park, telling Of u very novel
capture made by him and his two sons,
Mr.. Scott lives upon ranch in Eecria
Park, which is in Routt County, and
surrounding him is country in which
there is an abundance OF game. That
part of Colorado is the hunters para
disc. Great herds of deer and droyes
of elk wander through the spruce for
ests and over the open plateaus. One
day few weeks ago Mr.. Scott got up
in the morning and found that during
the night hard crust had formed over
the surface of the snow, which covered
the ground for miles around his ranch.
This crust was so thick and strong that
1t would easily bear the weight OF a
man. 1t was Just the day on which to
hunt elk or deer, for the hunter could
run rapidly over the frozen snow,while
the elk would have, even where they
did not break through the crust, to
travel gingcrly and carefullJ to keep
from falling down. Mr. Scott and his
boys determined to take advantage Of
the opportunity, ard start on a hunt.
They had gone but short distance
from the house when they saw standing
among some spruce trees, a short dis
lance away. five magnificent blue elk
and four big buck deer. They could
easily have shot one or more
OF them, for, though usually very
hard to approach, the animals
in this case were not disposed to run
away. A lucky thought suggested
itself to Mr.. Scott, and that was TO
capture them alive if POSSIBLE. The
only way in which he could do this
was to drive them into some Enclosure,
and fortunately he had large corral
near his house which was incloSed by
high fence over which deer or elk
could not leap. Telling one OF his boys
to run back and open the corral gate.
Mr.. Scott, with tho other boy, then
started oil with the intention Of get
ting on the other side of the game.
The first boy soon had the corral gate
open, and then followed in the tracks
OF his father aud brother.
Mr.. Scott aud the two boys then
posted themselves so as to drive the ELI
and deer toward the corral when they
came near them. The snow crust was
slippery and the game could make but
slow progress. Slowly and carefully
the herders approached the elk ant
deer, which also moved gradually
nearer TIE corral. 1t was novel and
and very careful work, for if the game
had taken alarm il would have beer
impossible to have taken them alive
Soon, however, their efforts were ~
wardcd by success. for they succeeded
in driving all the five elks and fou
deer into the corral. 1t took them bu
few moments to fastcn the gate, ant
then their prisoners were secure. Thu
animals are now all doing well and ar
feeding as contentedly as ii they ha'
never known the free life of the forest
1t will not be long until they becom
tame, and Mr.. Scott will then probabl
bring them to some geological gardel
in the East. -DeHrer Republican.

WASTE PLACES.
The Desolate Localities Which Support
Animal Life.

The Desolate Localities Which Support
Animal Life.
The Russian explorer Prejevalsky
said after his recent journey in northern
Thibet that an enormous amount of
animal life was supported by the scanty
heritage growing on these bleak, half
sterile plains that form the highest
plateau in the world, some thirteen
thousand feet above the sea. He said
the wild yaks here must number mil
lions, and that full grown yak weighs
from sixteen hundred to eighteen hun
dred pounds. Natures chemistry
evolves these great masses of flesh
from the poor heritage of region so
lofty that its lakes are frozen over until
nearly June, though they are six hum
dred miles nearer the equator than we
are.
Explorers tell us that not only does
animal life abound, but that man can
live in some of the most desolate parts
Of the globe. 1t is a mistake to sup
pose that the Sahara desert is merely q
useless sandy waste. Much of it lacks
not so much cultivable land as indus
trious hands to make the vast expanst
' of withered GASES blossom again. The

The Incident which Led the German Peo-
pie to Adopt the Corn Flower as Nation

When this century was very young,
and William of Germany, then small
boy, too, Napoleon Bonaparte was
marching his troops, carrying all before
them. over Europe. The then Kingdom
of Prussia was sorcly tried, and while
the King was fighting for his crown his
Queen Louise (the angel Queen, as she
is still called in Prussia), was obliged
to fly from Berlin to Memel, on the
borders of the Baltic Sea. SO hurried
had been the departure, for hers was a
brave spirit, and she would not desert
the capital till prudence made it expe-
dent, that no provisions had been
taken to satisfy the hungry cravings of
the two little Princes, her sons, whom
she was taking to safety, and who were
not yet old enough to understand that
anxiety which brushes down all appe-
lite. While travelling thus post haste
through an isolated country an accident
happened to the carriage, and the royal
party got out while the servants
