Cloth from the Mulberry Tree.

Two days later we reached Levuka Tin
island of Ovalau), the former capital of
FIJI and principal European town, and
found what we had searched for vainly
in Suva-tapa, cloth made out of the
bark of the mulberry tree. The process
Of making it is by beating it out TO the
required substance after the outer rind is
stripped off; it is then moistened and
pressed together to the size required, in
lengths varying from three to 100 feet.
1t is then stained with natural dyes in
primitive but artistic patterns. Some
from the island of Rotumah are 20 finely
marked that they give the impression a
having been traced with an etching pen.
These fine specimens are perhaps less use
full for decoration than the holder de-
signs, which are much used by the better
class of natives for their sulus. Those Of
a cinnamon color fall in well with their
FURNISHED bronze skins and thick dark
hair, of which they are justly proud.
The ends Of the bushy form it naturally
assumes-turned by the lime dressing to
the color Of undyed sealskin-give the
effect, in strong sunlight, of an aureole To
the acknowledgements.

The wonders Of Chaioedony Park.

The silicifed forest of Arizona, known
as Chalcedony park, is undoubtedly one
of the greatest of American wonders, re-
marks Mr.. George F. Kunz. This mar
velous deposit, eight miles south of Cor.
RIA, covers q thousand acres, and con-
sists of fallen trees which have become
buried and silicified into probably mil
lion tons of agate and jasper. Some Of
the trunks are $50 feet long and ten feet
in diameter, and others are broken into
every conceivable shape. Silicified wood
is obtained from many parts Of the
world, but nowhere else is it 30 beauti-
fully colored as here, every imaginable
shade of red, brown and green being
presented.
The most remarkable feature of the
park, and a phenomenon perhaps un-
paralleled, is the natural bridge of aga
tized wood, spanning q canon fifty-five
feet wide. The ire is from three to
four feet in diameter, and more than a
hundred feet of its length are in sight,
both ends being imbedded in the sand
stone at the sides of the canon.-Arkan-
saw Traveller.

The officers and men in charge of the
torpedo boats have no pleasant time Of
II. The steel plates of which first-class
torpedo boat Is built are only an eighth
OF an inch thick, some Of the smaller
ones are only one-sixteenth of an inch,
and the consequent weakness of
structure, with their great length in pro-
portion to breadth, makes the strain Of
rising and falling in short sea apt TO
break their backs. In such a sea, there
fore, it is dangerous to drive them at
less than eight to ten miles an hour, when
they go through the waves instead Of
over them.
At about this speed in most boats the
vibrations of the engines and the vibra-
tons of the boat synchronize, and the
combined oscillations make the bow and
stern of the boat wave up and down till
they nod at each other. Men who are
standing on the deck astern jump up and
down like marionets. Even in absolutely
smooth water, when you sit in the small
cabin and try to eat, your knife and fork
clatter on your plate like castanets. The
water sweeps clean over the deck, which,
after awhile, the vibration makes to leak
like sieve, so that everything below
clothes, beds, etc.,-is wet through.
Truly service in torpedo boat is not one
of pleasure.-All the Year Round.

The Pictured Rocks Of Virginia.

The famous Pictured Rocks on the
Evansville pike, about four miles from
this place, have been a source of wonder
and speculation for more than q century
and have attracted much attention
among the learned men Of this country
and Europe. The cliff upon which these
drawings exist is of considerable size and
within short distance of the highway
above mentioned.
The rock is a white sandstone which
wears little from exposure to the weather
and upon its smooth surface are define
ated the outlines of at least fifty species
of animals, birds, reptiles and fish, en-
bracing in the number panthers, deer
buffalo, offers, beavers, wildcats, foxes
wolves, raccoons, opossums, bears, elk
crows, eagles, turkeys, cells, various sort
of fish large and small, snakes, etc. In

How Dead Folks are Photographed.


Photographing dead people is a COM
moner thing nowadays than one would
suppose, when photographs from life
may be had so cheaply; but folks go
along from day to day putting off the
taking of their pictures, or they forget it,
until sickness reaches out and gets them,
and the next thing their friends know
they are dead. A few hours before con-
signing their remains to the grave the
relatives recall the fact that there is no
picture of the dead and they rush out for
for photographer.
A picture taken under such conditions
as those found in the corpse-room can
not be the best in the world. The casket
must be uprighted, and we have to do as
well as circumstances will permit in the
matter of light. Sometimes the eyes are
pushed open. but usually the remains are
photographed as they appear in death,
and from that picture a life picture must
be worked out by our crayon artist. ]
