10000 People on the Move.

Particulars have been received of the
removal of the entire population OF
Shoshong, 10000 in number, and the
founding of new town, seventy miles
from the old one. Shoshong has beep
one of the most widely-known places in
South Africa ever since Livingstone
wrote of it. 1t is IN British Bechuana-
land, and was the capital of King Khama,
the most enlightened of South African
rulers, who allows no wine or other
liquor in his domains, and even Furnishes
severely the brewing of Kaffir beer.
Early last year Khama decided to find
another site for his capital where there
was more water and better soil. He
selected very fine location seventy miles
northeast of Shoshong on rich plateau
about 1000 feet above the sea. In July
last every soul in Shoshong started for
the site of the town they were to build,
driving before them 10000 cattle. The
journey was made in easy stages, rs
everybody, except the babies and the
sick and in6rm, had to walk. They
were two weeks on the road.
All The aged and in6rm were carefully
borne to the new capital on litters and in
few OK carts, an interesting proceeding,
for it has been the custom of African
tribes Oh moving their towns to let the
sick and helpless take care of themselves.
Within few weeks after reaching Pala-
pye the entire people were comfortably
housed in the circular huts of sun-dried
bricks that are so common in South
Africa. The town is about six miles
long by two miles wide, and every group
Of huts has its own gardens and trees.
Khama has refused to permit single
tree in his new capital to be cut down.

What Colors Will Photograph.

The time was when the photographer
required certain colors in dress to pro-
duce good effects. Now, with experience
and the improvements in chemicals,
these restrictions are removed. he can
photograph white as we'll as black. The
capable artist prides himself on his ability
to show the most delicate and elaborate
lace work on the bridal dress.
With these restrictions no longer nee
essary, 1 would say-wear your most be-
coming dress. .
Blue and pink will photograph white.
Purple will appear many shades lighter
than it is in reality. n
Red and deep yellow appear OK,
or nearly so.
Z Strong contrasts in dress or triL ings
will give gaudy effect. 2
Subdued and quiet colors make the
neat picture. For example see the pictures
of nuns, or the lovely pictures of Quaker
ladies.-Ladies' Home Journal.

AN "L" OF BRICK WALL BLOWN DOWN.
1.-The last hurricane" he said, "when
at its height blew parallel to the main
wall. The L part received the full force
of the wind and was broken off as you
now see it." 1t was not only broken of
at its own base, but was also broken
away from its juncture with she rnairI
wall.
One of the most remarkable effects Of
a cyclone was recorded at Matanzas,
Cuba, where the centre passed directly
over the city. AS the vortex arrived the
air pressure outside was so suddenly
diminished that the air inside the houses
forced the window panes out, and then
as soon as the calm centre had passed the
violent wind, having an initiating and
lifting effect through the open apertures,
lifted many of the roofs off.
The local tornado that so frequently
plays havoc with property and life in the
West, is like the cyclone, revolving
force, but it carries with it variety of

phenomena wholly distinct from those
that accompany the larger storm. Many
of the effects Of one tornado are wholly
absent in others, aud the indications
that in one case have been followed by
terrible disaster are not infrequently
found at other times to presage merely
heavy thunder shower.
The freaks of a tornado are wholly un-
accountable. In some cases not an OBJ
iect in its trace will fail to feel its power
for long distances; in other instances it
will seem to act like cannon ball that
plows UP the earth on striking, then
rises and strikes again, leaving the space
between untouched. Sometimes it will
go through forest leveling the trees as
though gang of axemen had piled their
tools on lines laid out by surveyors,
nothing outside the track being touchedi
but again in similar windfalls there will
be found occasional pockets scored in the
forest growth jutting off the right line,
like small lagoons opening into flowing
stream. These seem to have been caused
by sort ot attendant whirlwind-a

which, having sprung away from the
chief disturbance, scoops a hole in the
woods and then expires or rejoins the
original movement.

furled and closely lashed with sea gas
kets. We were in company nearly at the
height of the storm, when the centre was
only few miles away. There was
spot in the bunt of the foretopsail where
the sail was not tightly slowed, and for
several hours it had doubtless been fut-
tering under tremendous pressure. AS
watched her little white puff went out
of the bunt of the topsail and then the
destruction of the sail was rapid. Long
ribbons of canvas went slitheIing off as
if huge file had rasped the yard arm,
and in short time there was nothing
left on the yard except the bolt ropes
and the reef tackles. We could do moth

whether we could keep off the reefs our

probably the most laborious as we'll as the

the ants in Arizona and Colorado.
Either because the ants want the pebbles
as an outer covering for their hills, or be-
cause they object to them inside, they
frequently make about their dwellings
glittering spread of stones of all sorts,
among them amethysts, topazcs and other
valuable jewels. People in the neighbor,,
hoods where such ant works are carried
on take the hint very often and, collect
ing the stones, send them to the East,
usually to New York city, where they are
often sold at GOOD prices.
