Recent delicate scientific expert
ments, says writer on earthquakes,
have discovered the fact that the sur
face of the land is never absolutely at
rest for more than thirty hours at a
time. Thus those great earthquakes
which Lake epochs in history are
merely extreme manifestations of
forces that rarely sleep.
Oxygen was discovered almost
simultaneously. in the year IVA, by
Joseph Priestly and Charles Scheele,

having the precedence by a few weeks.
He removed to America in 1894. where
his fame as a physicist and chemist
was quickly recognized. His descend

BEAUTIFUL AFRICA.
What Can BE Found in the Grand Forests
of the Dark Continent.

of the Dark Continent.
Hippopotami are abundant in the
rivers and lakes, and their hides,
when properly prepared (Which is
done by cutting the skin into long
thin strips), will fetch five pounds
apiece in South Africa, and are even
of considerable value in England for
making walking sticks, which have
a beautiful, transparent, amber-like
appearance. But the great wealth OF
this country lies in it's ivory, which is
preferred to any other in the Zanzibar
market. The elephant abounds in the
neighborhood of Kilima-njaro and
Kenia to the extent of many thousands.
He here becomes quite mOuntaineer,
and ranges through the magnificent
forests that clothe the uppsr slopes of
these giants among African peaks.
The natives waylay his forest
tracks with artfully-devised pit
falls and traps, preferring this
more cowardly way of procuring their
ivory to facing the elephant in the
chase. Other tribes to the north and
west of Kilima-njaro kill the elephant
with poisoned arrows or javelins or
sharp swords Indeed, there is one
district on the northern borders of
Masai-land, where, according to Mr..
Joseph Thomson, "elephants are said
TO swarm unmOlested and their ivory
o rot untouched, for the people of the
surrounding region have no trading
citations with any one, and do not
now the value of the precious article.
\ tusk worth ESQ in England may be
picked up for nothing, or bought from
my native for a pennyworth of beads. :"
However this may be, whether the ele-
chants are slain for their ivory, or
whether, as in the tales of "Sinbad
he Sailor" there are districts in
which the tusl<s may be simply gath
red from among the bones of ele-
plants who for centuries have died,
ind died untouched, in these untraveled
wilds, ivory is procured somehow and
in such quantities with the alb
surdly inadequate existing means of
exploitation and porterage- there
is always more than enough to supply
the many native caravans led by Mos
lem traders from the coast which an
nually traverse this country between
the Victoria Nyanza and the Indian
Ocean. Another item of trade should
not be forgotten, namely, the valuable
and handsome wild-beast skins which
may either be procured in the chase or
very cheaply purchased from the ma
tives. A leopard's skin may be bought
for about Is. or IS worth of goods, and
will sell on the coast for IS. or 9s.
Lions skins are less easy to obtain
from the natives, as that animal is
rarely killed by them, but the COM
pany's sportsmen might shoot him to
considerable extent, as he is both COM
mon and bold. Monkey skins of the
handsome variety of bushy, white
tailed colobus, which is alone found in
this region, are valuable and fetch a
good price on the coast. H. John

STYLISH PARASOLS.
Produced for the Coming Spring
and Summer Seasons.

Novelties Produced for the Coming Spring
and Summer Seasons.
The new parasols for spring and
summer are covered faille or armure
silk in plain colors or richly brocaded,
or with striped silks, plaids Or bord-
cred patterns, and very dressy para
soils have thin gauze, silk muslin or
net covers brocaded with tinsel in de-
signs like embroidery. The handles
are of natural woods holly, acacia,
bamboo, cherry or ebony-with curl
ously twisted hoops or large hooks or
knobs at the end, or else they are
quantity carved and tipped with silver
or gold. Coaching parasols and those
for general use have handles that ex-
tend fourteen inches beyond the edge
of the silk cover when closed. The
Directoire parasols to be used with
walking toilettes have much longer
handles, like walking-sticks, extend
ing eighteen inches beyond the cover,
and these handles are now put to-
gether with screw joint so that they
may be taken apart and doubled
small enough to go into very
small trunk. Rich brocades of the
last century in dull colors and with
metallic designs are appropriate COW
ers for these parasols when meant for
dress, while for morning walks the
striped and bOrdered silk covers are
used. A novel feature inside the new
Cleopatra parasOls is a ribbon trim
ming winding around the stretchers
that hold the parasol open as they ra-
date from the stick; when the parasol
is closed these ribbons show beyond
the tips, and cluster of loops is
formed around the stick, giving a full,
bunchy effect that is considered very
stylish.
Faille parasols of green or of gray
shades are made to correspond with
many of the spring stuffs for dresses.
Striped parasols must be striped
around instead of down the breadths.
and those with wide stripes are pre-
ferred. The ferule at the top is very
long, and is pointed in parasols that
have cane handles. Black parasols
have new designs of MORE, palm, ovals,
or large balls on faille grounds. For
mourning are Rhadzimir parasols with
carved ebony sticks. For piazzas
and carriage use in midsum-
mer are white and gold bro.
caded silk parasols, or pale old
rose, or blue brocades in leaf and
ostrich feather designs, or else en-
broidered silk muslin or net is put
plainly over white, black, gray, rose
or empire-green silk of the shade as
the transparent fabric. A bow of the
silk or of the ribbon is tied on the
handle in full loops, and a loop of
passementerie cord is also added there.

and are covered with black taffeta silk.
For the country are cotton satteen and

plaids, with either short or long han.
dies. India silk is also prettily mount
ed for parasols to match the summer
dress with which it is worn. Small

fashion OF long ago. -Harper's Bazaar.

MAMMOTH SHIPMENT.
The Big Train OF Agricultural Inn
plements that Arrived
Last Week.

plements that Arrived
Last Week.
The big trainload of agricultural nipple
ments, consigned to Messrs. Russell &
Co., which arrived over the Northern
Pacific in two sections, was consolidated
at Tacoma. Although the train on it's
long journey from Massillon, O., to Port
land was run on schedule passenger time,
the delays caused by the long stops along
the line to enable the large crowds gath
cred at the principal points to see it, and
from the fact that it was only kept NOV
ing during daylight, kept it ten days on
the road, AS well as enjoying the dis
tinction of being the first full trainload
shipment of agricultural implements that
was ever made across the continent, it is
one of the largest fast express freights
that ever came into Portland, and for this
reason it is of special interest to every
prominent resident of the city.
This train passed over the Baltimore &
Ohio, Wisconsin Central and Northern
Pacific railroads, and when the extraor-
binary risks of running heavy train of
twenty-eight cars on passenger time is
considered, its safe arrival here shows
conculsively that the special has been
the constant care of the managers of
these several lines. 1t is learned from
Mr.. Hughes, the manager of Russell &
Co., in this city, that most of the goods
included in this large shipment have al
ready been sold and he is of the opinion
that the firm will undoubtedly be forced
to duplicate even this large order before
the harvest season begins. The demand
for Russell & Co. s machinery during 'S9
will exceed that of any previous year in
the history of the firm.

PARALLEL LINES.

Every student knows that in close rea-
soning parallel lines of thought are laid
down and deductions educed.
1t Is not our purpose at this time to en-
ter into learned discussion, and we
have drawn the above visible lines sim
ply to bring them prominently before
your eye and ask what they represent to
you.
A railroad man to whom we showed
them said, ITO me those four lines repre-
sent double-track railway"
A doctor replied to the same interroga-
tory, 1.-The lines are to me the large ar
teries and veins lying alongside each
other in the human body"
AS will be observed the same lines to
either gentleman suggested different lines
of thought, as both looked at them
through eyes accustomed to see only that
which for the most part occupied their at
tention. To the writer both answers put
an old truth in a fresh and original light.
AS every intelligent man or woman
knows, the blood of every living person
flows with almost railroad speed through
the arteries, forced by that wonderful en-
CINE, the heart. From the arteries it is
side-tracked through the capilliaries
and veins, and every drop of blood goes
through the kidneys for publication no
less than 25OO times every twenty-fOur
hours. If the kidneys be diseased the inn
purities of the blood containing the worn
out tissues, and deleterious acids are not
drawn out or eXcreted as nature intended,
but continually pass and repass through
every fiber of the system, carrying death
and decay with every pulsatiOn. Unless
remedied the heart becomes weakened,
the lungs trying to do double work break
down, the liver becomes cOngested, the
stomach refuses to digest food and the re-
suit is general breakdown.
Why?
Because the kidneys, the sewers of the
system, are foul and stopped up, and the
entire blood becomes nothing more nor
less than sewage.
Now is it not criminal, nay, suicidal
to allow such state of things to continue
when simple remedy is within your
reach, known fora certainty to do as rep
resented, which will open the closed pipes
of the kidneys, allow the effete matter to
escape, relieve the overworked heart,
lungs and liver, cause healthy appetite,
put the bloom of health in your cheek,
the dove of hope in your breast and the
light of life in your eye?
You already have OWNED the remedy
we have reference to; it's praise is univar-
sal, it's influence worldwide. Do not al
low prejudice to blind you to your best
interests, but to-day procure Warmers

to rude health and correct living.

justify you in thanking us for bringing
under your notice remedy without a
