be a subterranean stream of SOME kind,

theory is not good. 1t is, in fact, a puz-

Fire at Bismarck.

BISMARCK, Oak, Feb. 2S.-About >
O'Clock this morning the residence of
Mrs. Conkling was discovered to be on
fire. and before anything could be done
SO great was the Roadway of the flames
that the house was utterly destroyed.
Mrs. Conkling and her two little
daughters were asleep when the fire
broke out, and they narrowly escaped
being burned alive. There is ground
for the belief that the fire is tile work of
an incendiary. The building and con-
tents were insured very lightly, and the
loss falls mainly upon Mrs. COnkling.

THE HANGING OF PICTURES.

1t is generally admitted that a
symmetrical disposition of pictures,
when practicable, is more agreeable
to the eye than when they are hung
in q haphazard fashion, and if math
ematical uniformity of grouping
were the only object in view, that
object, in dealing with miscellane-
Gus collection, might easily be Sc
cured. But whenever pictures are
classified under schools" the posi-
bility of ranging them according to
size is at once greatly restricted.
Nor is this all. When two or more
of similar dimension have been Sc
lected for a group it not infrequent-
ly happens that the nature of the
subjects treated, the chrOmatic

LIBERIA.

On December 81, 1916, an associ-
alton, known as the American Colo
nization Society, of which Henry
Clay was the President, was formed
for the purpose of colonizing freed
negroes and giving them favorable
opportunity for self-improvement.
The first attempt was not success,
because the locality selected was
not healthy one. But in Decem-
ber, 1921, a tract of land on the
Grain Coast of Upper Guinea was
secured and the association imme-
diately commenced operations, allot-
ting to every man thirty acres OF
land with means of cultivating it.
Towns were founded, many OF the
neighboring chiefs were received
into the colony and the new venture
was pronounced successful. In
1S47 Siberia was left to its own re-
sources, declared an independent re-
public, and the government commit
ted to President, Senate and
House of Representatives, after the
fashion of the mother country. All
its citizens are qualified electors
when they reach twenty one years OF
age and possess real estate. The
new republic was recognized by
Britain in 184S and by other Euro
pean Powers since. The number of
settlers from the United States has
never been large, the whole number
of these in the country not exceed
ing $4,000. The total population is
estimated to be 100000, Of whom
about $4,000 speak English. and g.
900 are Christians.

WHAT A BLIZZARD is.
Toronto Globe.

Toronto Globe.
A blizzard is simply strong,
cold wind moving unchecked over
leagues of light, unpacked snow. 1t
sweeps up that which has previous
ly fallen, carries it away in the color
of vast shaken fleece, distributes
it so that each atmospheric atom has
it's little particle, and drives along
all with a steady fury. Whether
fresh snow is falling can seldom be
determined by people out in a real
blizzard. AS far as the eye can see
upward, and that is but little
space, the hurry of minute pellets
hurling through either across an un-
revealed sky prevails, and the hnr-
rying sameness on every side is va
ried only by occasional tall and
bending wraths where the wind
whirls in shifting columns. A con
fusion of the senses, comparable to
none produced otherwise, appals one
submitted to the enormous and
binding force of such snow-filled
wind, and scarcely distinct
thought remains except that the aw-
full cold forbids crouching for rest
and shelter. To our personal
knowledge, one in such a storm
keeps with difficulty upon railway
track lifted three feet above the sur
rounding prairie, and may be lost
by five steps the wrong way after
stumbling down from the embank
ment, which, being white, becomes
instantly invisible. 1t Is recorded
on good authority that teamsters
halting with their horses have been
showed over thirty feet deep By a
blizzards, and have survived by
beating out breathing chambers till
the cessation of the storm enabled
them to dig themselves to upper air.
The formation Of drift about
halted man, or horse, or sleigh, is
sometimes wonderfully speedy, and
the drift. once established, grows by
virtue of its obstructiveness. In
some well-autheuticated cases lost
persons have been found by the
drifts over them and dug out alive;
in others, the spring has revealed
corpses still unthawed among the
last white relics of winter. In bliz
yards people have often been unable
to see across the street of north
west town, and sometimes men lose
their direction in trying to reach
the opposite side OF the well-built
way.

quality of the works, or the style of
their execution, is such as to render
their juxtaposition incongruous A
brilliant and gayly-colored picture
hung near one which is painted in a
sober key will sometimes take all
life out of the latter, and reduce it
to the level of woik in mono
chrome. On the other hand, to
group together series Of sombre-
toned pictures is apt to produce
gloomy effect, and the hanger has
therefore to steer between two ex-
tremes. Again, for the purpose of
study, it is no doubt convenient that
the works Of particular master
should hang side by side. But the
varying scale of such works, their
dissimilarity of shape-horizontal,
upright, square, circular, oblong, or
arch headed, for instance-will often
present obstacles to such a plan.
And even where conditions of size,
color, and subject are favorable to
the close association of certain pict-
ures, it may happen that while some
Of them deserve the best place that
can be found on the walls, one at
least of the group is of inferior quail
ity, and cannot be allowed to occupy
space which may justly be claimed
for a work of higher merit though
less consonant in style. Last,
though not least, the requirements
of students have to be borne in
mind. The pictures which they Sc
lect to copy may not be always in
the first rank Of art, but they are
generally popular works, and when
the object in view is to produce
salable copy, or perhaps to execute
a commission, some pardonable dis
would ensue if The orig
inal were hung up in an inconven-
lent place.

CHARACTER IN NosEs.-I hold, for
instance, that by looking at a mans
nose one can tell great deal about
his character. The large nose, to
me, denotes strength of character;
the upturned, pretty, retronsse, a
frivolous, soft Welding mind; the
sharp, ill-shaped, turned-up pug, a
quick, bad temper, and the pro
boscis without well-defined lines as
indicative of weak, Unbalanced
intellect.

THE ONE-T w O-HUNDRED-
THOUSANDTH PART OF
AN INCH.
Chambers Journal .

In his address before the Royal
Microscopical Society Sir Henry
Roscoe treated the one-hundred-
thousandth part of an inch as the
limit OF visibility with the highest
known magnifying power. Mr..
Crisp pointed out that the limit of
visibility can hardly be definitely
stated, but he assumed it to be be
yond the one-five- manifestations
andth part Of an inch. DR.. Dalling-
err, the President Of the society, cor
roborated Mr.. Crisp's observations,
and said that he himself had GER
tainly seen objects which were be-
tween the observation-disclosures
andth and ne.three- hundred -thous-
andth part Of an inch. This cor
rection is worth recording, if only
as proof of the marvellous perfect
ion which the modern. microscope
has attained.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
DIR. EMERSON CONFRONTED WITH A
FIVE CHAMBER LOADED PISTOL.

On Saturday native named Laa,
of Wailuku, left a petition at the
Office of the Beard of Health pray
ing that he be allowed to visit his
wife, who is a leper, at the settle
ment, Molokai. This morning he
again made his appearance at the
Office and asked DR.. n. B. Emer-
son, President of the Board, to
grant the prayer of his petition.
The doctor said that he could not
give the authority himself, it would
have to 90 before the Board for ap-
proval. Laa, in very command
ing tone, told the doctor to grant
the prayer instantly or he would
shoot him. AS he spoke he drew
from his pocket an English bull dog
pistol with five chambers, all loaded.
Just at that moment Board of Health
officer Kingsley happened in the
office and noticing the pistol in
Laa's hand made a dash for him,
and with the assistance of Secretary
Ashley after brief struggle it was
taken away from him, and locked
up in the safe. Laa was thrown to
the ground his hands tied securely
behind him until the police were
called, when he was taken to the
Station House. He stands charged
with carrying a deadly weapon.
