Cliff Dwellings in Morocco.

Recent discoveries have shown that
cliff dwellings are found in great numbers
in Morocco, which are now, and probab iy
have been, inhabited from the time of
their construction. These dwellings are
in all particulars like those found il
Arizona and New Mexico on this CONT
nent. A correspondent speaks of them
as follows:
ut was lot until last year that the
MooTs would permit any examination of
the cliff dwellings which have long been
known to exist some days Journey south
west of Morocco. The strange city of
the cave jewellers are almost exactly like
those IN New Mexico ana other territories
which psychologists have ex plored. The
dwellings are lug oct OF the solid rock,
and many of them are over 200 feet above
the bottom of the valley. The face Of
the cliff is IN many places perpendicular,
and it is believed the troglodytes could
have reached their dwellings only with
the aid of rope ladders. Some of the
dwellings contain three rooms, the largest
Of which are about 1719, and the walls of
the larger rooms are generally pierced by
windows Nothing is known as to Who
these cav d9ellers was

About Pearls.
North American Review.

Never have pearls been more popular
or command such high prices as during
the past ten years. At present nothing
is considered in better taste than the
pearl, or account of its purity and sub
dued beauty. This unusual demand has
had the effect of greatly stimulating the
search for them, especially On the west
coast of Australia, at Thursday Island, the
Sooloo Archipelago, in Ceylon and the
Persian Gulf, and also along the coast OF
Lower California. The demand included
pearls of all colors, except the inferior
yellow. The fine black pearls from Lower
California have been in great request,
single ones bringing as much as $4,000.
With these black pearls are found many
beautiful gray and brown pearls. The
different fish ries of the world produce
fully 100000 worth annually, of which
the lower California fisheries produce
probably one-sixth. Kentucky, Tennessee
and Texas have given US over $4,000
worth of pearls per annum; their remark
able fresh water pearls, especially the
pink ones, which are unrivaled for
delicacy of tint. The finding of two
bushels Of these in the Turner group of
mounds in the Little Miami valley, Ohio,
by Professor f. W. Pullman, gives US a
faint idea of how plentiful they were be-
fore the arrival Of the Europeans. BIT
within the last five years many of the
fancy colored pearls have received their
variety of color not from nature, but by
artificial means.

ABORIGINAL WOOD WORKERS.
How the Indian Carpenters Built Houses
with Glass Tools

How the Indian Carpenters Built Houses
with Glass Tools.
at the Smithsonian institution at Wash
iagton are collected as many of the
aboriginal tools of America as the officers
have been able to gather. "Of course"
said II. f. Mcleod, one of the attaches of
the institution who is now on his way TO
Puget Sound, aboriginal carpentry vas
the chief trade of our predecessors on
this continent. The Indians and the
mound builders had q very good idea Of
woodworking. You will see even
now some very pretty joining done by
the Sioux Indians. Their tent-poles
make a lit which many q white carpenter
would not like TO try 10 better.
THE best carpenters, OF course, were
the Aztecs, who had arrived at quite q
high stage of art, and whose tools, al
though they knew nothing of steel, are
really excellent. We have few of their
tools at the Smithsonian, but the best
collection is, of coarse, in the city OF
Mexico. The material used was almost
wholly glass especially for the finer parts
Of their wood-catting. To chop trees
they used flint axes and for the rough
heWing out of the logs the same. but
when 1t came to the accurate fitting OF
the hewn timber they handled glass
knives, chiseIs, and saws very deftIy and
with beautiful results. There ia c&aba
wood post in Washington with hierogiy-
phics and faces cut pom it, all with glass.
You can see bits of the aboriginal chisel
still sticking IL q corner of the work
where it broke OFF three centuries ago
under thu hand of the workman The
Aztecs knew how TO make very good and
manageable glass, and their best cutting
blades, swords, daggers and spears, saws,
chisals, and axes were made of it When
the edged duIIed they broke it from end
instead of sharpening 1t, and go5 new
cutting line.
'You can see great deal Of aboriginal
carpentry still in use among the Moqui
Indians of the United States. Of course
they use our tools now, but they follow
their old patterns. They know how to
make ladders and they swing their doors
en- hinges from the top, and they know
how to mortise timbers-knew how long
before Columbus landed in America. OF
course they use our tools differently from
our way. The chisel they push rather
than hammer, and they work the board
up and down on fixed saw rather than
the saw on the board, but withal they get
very creditable results. The framework
in the pueblos is quiet as honest as any
thing you have in Chicago"

edly true. The evangelist of today loves
a crowd. He knows the value of a large
audience and rafting fusilade of ap-
pIause. He will not go into the desert
on the chance of converting a single sin
rer from far away Ethiopia but don't you
see he can fire his gospel battery into a
whole regiment of sinners by going to
town? As he does not have the power
that certain old fashioned preachers had
some two thousand years ago, of draw
ing the multitude after him, he wisely
goes to the multitude. So do those learn
ed and unseifish men who teach suffering
humanity that he evangelist is a fraud
and all religion a sham. They likewise
seek the city and the multitude, aud not
having the faith in the financial hberaii-
ty OF their audiences that the evangelist
b as in his, these Ieformers fear to lean
upon the much desPised collection and so
charge so cents at the door. Il is only
the gospel that is free after ali.
Now. do let the evangelist have his way.
as well as the 'reformer' Let him 90
where the crowd is. He doesn't teach
the multitude to do anything wrong.
The evangelist may have some odd, rough,
funny ways OF teaching, but he doesn't
teach evil. He doesn't pursuade them to
do wrong. He doesn't lift up his voice
and cry aloud for free whiskey and no
Sunday. It is true that he gets paid for
his preaching, but it seems TO me, my
son, that some kinds of preaching are
worth paving for as we'll as others.

THE NEW TOWN OF BABEL.
The Eiffel Tower Now 500 Feet High an
Growing DaiIy

The Eiffel Tower Now 500 Feet High and
Growing Daily.
M. EiBei lives IN pretty house in Rue
Prosny, Paris, furnished and decorated
IN delightful fashion, which suggests
the artist rather then tho engineer.
Eiffel is man from 40 to 45 ears, rather
under the average height; his hair is grey,
his eyes bright, his expression quite and
pleasant. One feels at once that he is
persistent rather than enthusiastic. Ia
his trium phs over difficulties, thought
and mathematical precision have done
the work. M. Eiffel gave me card which
entitled me to visit the tower. After
visis | must admit that, considering the
strong doubts I once held, upon aesthetic
grounds, as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of the
Elffel tower, the impression made upon
me by the reality was altogether unex-
pected. I can not say whether it will be
handsome, but am Certain that il will be
superb. lt is impossible to describe the
effect of this gigantic scaffoiding of iron
in geometrie design, the whole forming
a tremendous pyramid. It is mujestic,
impressive, and yet SO light from dis
taIce, the effect against the sky is that of
grand spiders web. [ walked back
and forth under these great arches feel
ing very small. I looked on with such
amazement that I scarcely noticed bolt
of iron which fell like bullet from the
heights above upon some sheet iron at
my feet.
ut was $50 steps up to the first plat
form by an easy staircase. Nevertheless
I was glad to hold on to q firm hand-rail.
The first platform is not yet entirely fin
ished. In parts rough boards bridge tho
space from beam to beam. Through the
cracks yoH can see the earth below /
walked cautiously along, and was glad to
reach spot where d solid brick floor held
me up. In the center of the platform is
an immense opening not yet provided
with ratings. Peering over the edge
could see workmen below, looking like
beetles. Around outside of the tower a
railroads runs, bringing. beams, sheet-iron
and other material. Above our heads 16O
Torkmen hammered at hot rivets, and the
four giant corner posts stretched sky
ward. The view is magnificent. Up go
again, by a winding staircase, to the top
of the highest beam held in place merely
by chains. The wind whistles through the
scaffol0ing so that we have TO hold our
hats. But we discover a splendid pan
Drama. Paris lies in sunlight at our feet,
with shining domes, the whole ve1lei in
a mist which deepens on the distant hills.
The Seine looks like the motionless glass
used to initiate water on the big relief
maps; the arch of triumph looks like 2
paper weight, the obelisk like needle,
and the Yendome column like its case
Yet we are only 800 feet high, third of
the way up that is to be. I got back to
ground strongly impressed. To those
who scoff at the Eiffel tower have now
but one answer: Go and see it,"

LESSON Was Hiram and Peter were
going to school one day they passed
Farmer Johnson's orchard, in which
were several trees loaded with harvest
apples.
Let US help ourselves" said Hiram, as
ne laid down his books.
"By no MEANS" answered Peter, "that
would be stealing"
"What! just to take few appIes?"
ayes, they belong to another"
sThen coward, go on and I will help
myself" exclaimed Hiram, and he was
quickly over the fence.
Now the farmers big dog ought to have
rushed out and bitten Hiram in ali his
legs, and When he sot to school the
teacher ought to have tanned his jacket,
and his father should have sent him to
the farmer to confess his guilt and sue
for pardon. But nothing of the sort
happened. he filled his pockets with
apples, was patted on the head by the
school teacher and had the pleasure of
seeing the honest Peter fall down at re-
cess and break his off leg
