BEAUTIES OF CAPE TOWN.

A Locality Which Has Had a Most Inter-
estipg History.
In a valley between two mountains-one
high, flat, and of pure rock, it's stupendous
front overhanging the town. the other
lower and rounded, its cliff worn away
everywhere but on one mighty head-the
town with it's f1at-roofed houses and long,
straight streets lies on q bay as blue and
delicately curved as that of Naples. Here
it was that the wondering Uottentots on
the shore saw the first sails creep across
the blue waters of their bay. Here it was
that Jan Anthony van Riebaok, the servant
of the Dutch East Indian company, landed
in 1868 with his dependents, and built the
first small town, and made the first gar
dens. We still walk under the oak trees
they planted; the fort Which they built in
those carly days may still. be seen on the
seashore, the small block houses still
standing on the spurs of the mountains
were used in those days as lookout towers
against the incursions of enemies.
Here the Dutch East India company i'm
ported slaves often from Madagascar, Eng
llsh slave ships sometimes bringing them;
the reason for the importation of slaves
being, says the old chronicles, that native
Hottontots would not labor for their ma a.
ters as imported slaves would. Here Peter
kolben tells us that about the year 17l2 he
saw a slave burned to death. They are, he
says, speaking of the slaves. "most detesta-
Bile and wicked swretches," and "'tis now
and then a most difficult thing to keep
them in order" This slave had tried to
burn down his masters house, and was tied
to an upright post by a chain which al
lowed him to make one turn about it,
"Then," says Peter Kolben. was kiudled a
ire round about him Just beyond the
stretch OF the chain; the flames rose high,

Dlcastibiltty Of Cheese.

It ia we'll known that some kinds OF cheese
arc moro digestible han others; but hither-
to there have been no reliable data on the
subject. Herr Klenze, Il German investi-
gator, has now supplied them by finding
that Cheshire and Roquefort are the most
easily digested. The others follow in order
of merit, namely, Emmenthal, Gorgonzola,
Neuchatel, Ramadour, Rotenburg. Mainz,
frontage de Brie, and. lastly, the most in
digestible of all, Swiss cheese.

Grating machine at the station to the car
through a wire placed above the ground.
The elements of the system consist of
a generating station, line, car, motor and
return circuit. At the generating sta
ton an engine and boiler furnish power
to drive a large dynamo. The current
generated is conducted by wire to
line which is strung on posts, and runs
above and parallel with the track. The
car to obtain the current makes continual
contact with this overhead line by means
of a trolley, this current passing down
by wires to motor which is connected
with the axles of the car. After passing
through this motor the current passes
into the wheels of the car and thence
into the track, and as the latter is con-
nected near the generating station with
the other pole of the dynamo, a complete
circuit is thus formed. In addition to
the track connection us a return for the
current the earth is used as much as it is
employed in telegraphy, the track being
connected at intervals with large plates
buried in the ground The circuit is
further aided by connecting the rails of
the track with copper wires to keep up
the continuous electric CURRENT De-
