'Had you any unexpected expert

tudes aside from the. general one per-
tanning to the expedition?''
'Oh, yes. One morning, for instance,
when the atmosphere was hazy from a
light fall of snow, in going a stiff nine
knot gait, we ran plump into an ice

no one could see. For moment [

lous that we had no catastrophe, and
shows how thoroughly that ship was
built for just such encounters in those
seas. On another occasion, when over
against the Greenland coast, counted
not less than 1900 icebergs that had
been pushed from the glacial formation
on the slopihg head lands of tho coast

The country of the Upper Nile was,
par excellence, the wonderland OF the
Roman world, it is still the grandest

Zoologically there is no more density

and birds, made homeless by the dev-
astation of North Africa, seem to have
taken refuge in the Nubian highlands.
In the terrace-land of the Nubian and
Abyssinian Alps there roam herds OF
elephants, bufalos, wild goats, wild
sheep, and fourteen or fifteen different
species Of antelopes, Further below
the hippotamus and White rhinoceros
haunt the river swamps. Professor
Blanford enumerates 290 species OF
water birds. With these harmless set
tiers less desirable guests have crowded
in, the spotted hyena, the jackal, the
black and yellow lion, four species of
smaller cats, wild dogs and, shove all,
the cynocephalus, the willy and mis-
ehievous baboon. Three varieties of
these Darwinian pets inhabit the rocks
of Southern Nubia, the little Rabuiq,
the cynocephalus proper, and the cel$s
da, or mantle baboon, fierce and pow
erful fellow, whose shaggy name pro-
tects his body like a cloak, and enables
him to brave the climate of the upper

but charge them at onc4 with an ener-

derm, allied to the European badger,
coinhabits the rocks with alternating

with wild hogs that multiply pndiiSs

Lhe mystery of the jumping beans OF
Mexico was solved several years ago
here on the Comstock. The explana-
ton is simple enough. There is in each
bean worm whose instinct it is to SO
skip as TO put the bean in motion. The
insect gives motion to tho bean by
drawing itself into close coil and theh
suddenly uncoiling itself in such a way
as to strike against the upper part OF
the cavity it occupies. In Mexico these
beans in great numbers are to be seen
skipping over the ground under the
trees upon which they nre produced,
They thus skip and roll along the
ground until the lodge in some hole or
cavity where they are likely to be COW
cred with earth by the first rains. The
worm is provision of nature by means
of which the beans are distributed and

Elephantine Intelligence.

On one occasion | arranged with
mahout to bring up his elephant where
| was standing, that | might indicate
the work to be done, the mahout to be
absolutely silent. Standing by six
foot loo, beckoned to the mahout, and
up came the elephant. Arrived at the
spot, and being without chains, he
must have opined that dragging was
not intended. There remained, then,
pushing or carrying, the latter opera
ton being the one which the sagacious
creature saw was intended, for he pro-
ceeded at once with his awkward prep
arations for carrying it away. Through
out this test the mahout was absolutely
silent, and, as far as | could s"e, quite
passive. The result of it was that the
elephant OWNED what |, q stranger,
wished it to do, and did it.
On another occasion ] applied the
test to difficult object, an eighteen
inch cube of teak, which the dear old
fellow at once arranged to carry off;
but how to do it he could not at first
determine. AS his tuskS divcrged more
than eighteen inches, they were no
support, and the many sharp corners
of the cube sorely tried the delicate
trunk. After some failu es, he man
aged to seize the fragment by the CEN
ter, and then raise it up below the tusks
against his lower lip. As he had vir-
italy accomplished the task, discon-
tinued the experiment, expressing my
satisfaction and delight to the man
ager, who somewhat damped my ardor
by informing me that the mahout,
while abstaining from use of voice or
stick, might have conveyed his wishes
to the elephant by pressure with his
heels!
But a moments reflection increased
nv admiration for the elephants intel
liSence, for allowing that the mahout's
heels had pressed his side, how could
such pressure inform him that he was
neither to drag nor push, but carryF
Surely the mahout could not have pos
sessed code of pressure-signals with
which he had indoctrinated the elephant
in prospect OF curious visitors. If he
had, then it must have included voice
and stick signaling as well, to either o.
which ! mi ght have resorted. No;
believe the elephant acted independent:
ly of signals, and reasoned on what hf
had to do by what was laid before him.

Pioneer Press: The public exam
liner, Mr.. Knox, has in his annual re-
ports repeatedly called attention to
the fact that under the system now
prevailing, there is absolutely no
check of any sort whatever on the
county treasurer's statement of the
taxes paid to and received by him.
A properly owner may have paid his
taxes: he may even have the treas
ure's receipt therefor; but the treas
urer may have forgotten Or intention
ally neglected to make the proper
record of the payment on his duplicate
stub or on his books, and if the pro-
perty owner should have misled his
receipt, no proof would exist that the
tax had ever been paid. It is quite
possible under the existing system for
acounty treasurer to collect thousands
or tens of thousands ofdollars of taxes,
make no record of their payment, and
then on the plea of i'll health take a
prolonged trip to Europe or elsewhere
out of the country, and there would be
no possibility of ascertaining the ex-
tent of the embezzlement, except by
the slow process of investigating the
case of each individual taxpayer, and
ascertaining whether he held re-
ceipt for his taxes. It would be quite
possible, too, in the case of ignorant
taxpayers, who could not read or
write, to palm off upon them false re-
ceipts. In fact there Is no end to the
possibilities of fraud and embezzle-
ment under the present system, where
the only check upon the treasurer is
his own memoranda, or what he
CHOICES to enscribe In his books.

Before the year 1874 postage on news
papers and periodicals-mail matter
of the second c'ass-was paid by the
subscriber at the office of the delivery.
Much Of this postage WAS never col
lected, and in 1874 the present law
was passed, which requires payment
at the office of publication. AS this
change in the law came at time
when it was impossible for publishers
to advance their rates to meet the adj
ditional outlay, the postage has al
ways been practically government
tax upon publishers. Since 1874 the
postage on letters and on transient
newspapers and periodicals-such as
are sent by other persons than pub
lishers-has been largely reduced,
but on second class matter the rate
stands where it was put eleven years
| ago. There are now several bills be-
fore Congress looking toward RENE

The men engaged in it, whatever

No country will own them. No race

who are born without souls, without
