still and stsgnant, are to be seen the snow covered cones and white -sprink1ed tops of the higher mountains. There are no series of magnificent snow-clad peaks as in the Swiss Alps, and no cultivation and improve ment of natural beauty lower down along the road. All along the northern ascent the scenery is desolate, and only imposing by the enormous masses of stratiied granite and stone piled up thousands of feet, with 8 southern slant on both sides of the de6le. The different mountain clans inhabiting the district, whose wretched fat-roofed novels of loose stone and open fronts are seen perched up on the top-most crags, among the eagles and vultures, are still as prim- itive and uncivilized when they were first driven up into these lonely attitudes, thousands of years ago, by the Mongolian nomads who took possession of the lower re- gions and plains, and are still represented by their descendants.
 North of the pass the road leads through Ossetia. or the country of the Ossetians, who have been considered by some philo- logists as having some affinity with the Germans. But the bewildering babel of languages in the Caucasus, or "mountain of tongues" as it was anciently called, is still a baff1ing study for European professors. It was reckoned by Arabian writers that, with the dialects and divisions of the various distinct languages, they numbered some 300 or more. Pliny speaks of 13O inter- prefers having been necessary to transact business with these inguistical groups at Dioscura, the present region of Abkhazia. Even at the present day good number would be necessary to communicate pro- perly with the more isolated mountaineers away from the main thoroughfares, where Russian is not yet the common medium of intercourse.

From the LonQOn Times.
 In the last number of the journal of the Bombay Natural History Society, MT. Lionel de Niceville describes the manner in which the larvee of species of butterfly (Tarucus theophrastus, Fabricius) are cultivated and protected by the large common black ants of Indian garden and houses. As @ rule ants are the most deadly and inveterate enemies of butterflies, and ruthlessly destroy and eat them whenever they get the chance, but in the present case the Iarvee exude g sweet liquid of some sort, of which the ants are inordinately fond, and which they ob tain by stroking the larve gently with their antenne. Hence the great care which is taken of them. The larvse feed on small thornY bush of the jungle, the zizyphus ju juba, and at the foot of this the ants cons struct @ temporary nest. About the middle of June, just before the rains set in, great activity is observable on the tree. The ants are busy all day running along the branches and leaves in search of the larvss, and guiding and driving them down the stem of the tree towards the nest. Each prisoner is guarded until he is got safely into his place, when he falls off into a doze and undergoes his transformation into 8 pupr. If the loose earth at the foot of the kAOC Ao ESAoPoA H"oJ1 AAohOASoo OA AoA seO and pupse ih all stages of development, ar ranged in broad, even all round the trunk, will be seen. The ants object to uncov- ering them, and immediately set to work to put the earth back again; if this is taksn away again, they will remove all the chry- salids and bury them lower down. When the butterfly is ready to emerge in about a week, it is tenderly assisted to disengsge itself from it's shell, and, should it be strong and healthy, is left undisturbed to spread it's wings and fly away. For some time after they have gained strength they remain lowering over their old home. In one case butterfly fell to the ground before it's | opening wings had dried, and a soldier-ant | tried to rescue it. He carried it back to ! the tree with the utmost care, and made 1 several attempts to assist the butterfly to ! hold on again, but finding his efforts un- l ayailing, he left the cripple to recover him \ self. On his return, seeing no improve | ment, he appeared to lose all patience, and
 rushing in, bit of both wings and carried the body into the nest. But high-handet l proceedings of this kind are very unusual l It is said to be curious sight to watch tn | fragile and delicate butterflies wandering
 about, all feele and helpless, among the busy 1 crowd of coarse black ants, and rubbing 1 shoulders in perfect safety with the ordinary l fierce, big headed soldiers. A larvs of another I species, thrown down among them as an ex pertinent, was immediately set upon and tori 1 to pieces by the ants.

ARE MISSIONS A FAILURES

Canon Isaac Taylor knows what he thinks, and dares to say it. About year ago he read paper before the English church con- gress in which he asserted that the religion of Islam is not only equal to Christianity in some respects, but is far better suited to the needs and capacities of many people in Asia and Africa. He now comes out with an srti- cle in the Fortnightiy Review which has the striking title, "The Great Missionary Fail- ure"
 Canon Taylor is sure that at it's present rate of progress Christianity can never hope to overtake heathenism. Estimating the ex- cess of births over deaths in Asia and Africa as Il, ,000, GOO year, and the annual increase of Christians as 60,000, it would take the missionary societies 1S3 years to oyertake one year's increase in the heather population. And Canon Taylor further makes it appear that turning heathens into Christians is very costly work. It seems that according to official reports, the 424 agents of the church missionary society in Ceydon spent a little more than $55. .000 last year in making 190 converts out of population of nearly three millions. And as there were 330 relapses from Christianity the same year, this great expenditure counted for less than nothing. The same thing was true. in a measure, of China, Egypt, Arabia and Palestine. More over, the converts which are made in these countries at cost of from $500 to $500 are, in many cases, no credit to the religion whose claims they acknowledge. As an illustration of this, we are told of robber who promis-
 
 of quarrel which broke ont among the na- tives of the nominally Christian village, in which the victors cooked and ate the van quished. In order to make good reports to the home societies missionaries are altogether ' 500 eager to enroll such unworthy men and women among their converts.
 But in spite of all this Canon Taylor be ! lieves in missions. He thinks that they might be made great success if the mis sionaries would only show a larger degree ci sympathy with the natives whom they are \ trying to evsngelize, and make an honest effort to understand their point of view. He also believes that missionaries should, as far as possible, live like the natives. "The preacher's hut" he says, "his goods, his dress, his food, should be the same as those of the natives. European missionaries fail because they attempt to make Asiatics or Africans into middle-class English Philis- tines. Islam succeeds better than Christian ity, largely because it leaves the people un- disturbed in all the outward circumstances of their lives. It has been well said that the teachers who would appeal successfully to Asiatics or Africans should be as unlike as possible to English rectors or dissenting ministers"
