ACROSS TIE SAHARA,

Spcculatious on the Railroad Which May
Eo EuiIt There.
The traffic of the Trans-Saharian rail-
way will comprise two classes of bust.
ness-the first, local, between oasis and
and oasis, or the Salarian traffic
proper; the second, the business be.
tween extreme ends of the line, be.
tween Algeria and France and the
central Soudan, says writer in Scrib.
ner's. Once given railway transporta.
tion, depots and markets will spring up
along the line, for the surveys cross the
lines followed by the caravans that
carry on the commerce of the desert.
The export of cereals from Algeria to
the Touaregs and to the Au country,
and the export of salt, which is not
found in the Soudnn, will give impor-
tance to the salt wells of Amadrhor.
Upon the other hand, it is certain that
constant stream from tho south will
pour into Algeria, bringing chiefly
hides and leather. An estimate of the
yearly income to be derived from the
Saharian business may be put ut g.
265, 900 francs. Dividing this sum by
the length of the line from Biskra to
Lake Tchad, S,1oo kilometcrs Q,ees
lniles), the earnings are equal to 1000
francs per kilomctcr.
Central SoLdan is rich enough to
furnish vast commercial business to a
railway in spices, ostrich feathers, gold
dust, indigo, hides, leather, cereals and
fruits, palm oil, cotton, ebony and dye
stuffs. The exports and imports Of the
Soudan ought to provide an income of
1910 francs per l:iloncter Finally,
there remains the passenger traffic,
which may be expected to grow into
Importance. In round nun bcrs, may
say thai the trans-Sahurian traffic
would result in earnings of about 10,-
600 francs per kilometcr of line. AS
the construction cost would average
100000 francs q llilomcter, interest at
~ per cent. will require $500 francs
kilomcter. The running expenses of
one train q day in either direction
be between 5000 and $50 francs per
kilometor per year. From financial
standpoint the enterprise, if well man
aged, ought therefore to prove rcmuner-
ativc. This alone, apart from other
considerations, should warrant trans
Saharian railway.

The MISSING LINK.
Evoiutionists Are Encouraged to Believe
That It Will Soon Be Found.

Evoiutionists Are Encouraged to Believe
That It Will Soon Be Found.
1t is worth mentioning that there has
recently come from Patagonia am
nouncemcnt of the discovery of a
monkey Of the Tertiary, which was the
geological period before the present or
Quaternary, which is the last needed
link between the lemur and the men,
like cpcs. It only remains now, GAYS
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, in order that
the chain shall be complete. to find the
link between the anthropoid apes and
man.
This is the famous missing link, con-
cerning which SO much speculation has
been offered. Evolutionists assert that
it will undoubtedly be found before
long. For the fact that it has not al
ready been discovered they offer very
plausible reasons. The way in which
animals are preserved in fossil shape is
by falling into the water and becoming
imbedded in the muddy bottom. A suf-
fcient time has not yet elapsed for COM
ing across the remains THUS preserved
OF the ancestors of the human race i'm
mediatcly between the apes and the
present generation. The history Of the
world is n story of continuous retreat of
the waters from the land-rivers driving
up, lakes becoming shallow, and seas
receding from the continents.
Let it be supposed that five hundred
thousands years ago tribes of the miss
ing links lived upon thc earth. Neces-
sarily very nearly all of them in dying
would disappear. Not oven their bones
would be left. But some few would be
drowned in the lakes, or their bodies,
falling into the streams, would be swept
into the larger areas of water, becom-
ing on occasions entombcd in the mud
ut their bottoms. In the course Of time,
the water having gone away, that mud
is transformed into rock. 1t appears ns
dry land, and then for the FIRST time the
fossil-huntcr comes along and makes
his discoveries.
Thus it will happen within few GEN.
turies at the furthest that missing links
will be dug out from more places than
one, the vanishing waters having dis
closed the resting places of their re-
mains, and thereby will be established
in its entirety the chain which connects
that most wonderful of animals, man,
with the bit of primordial protoplasm
from which he is sprung.

Collisions in Cricket.

The recent serious accident to Collins
and Burns at Eastern park, Brooklyn,
though fortunately one of rare occurrence,
reminded the writer that such accidents
have happened in the game of cricket
Cricket is less dangerous game than base
ball, but in both games men run asquickly
to stop a ball. 1t was good many years
ago, in the annual match OF Winchester
college against Elton, that similar acct
dent happened Thornton was one Of the
men in batting for Elton, and be was host

A ball that he intended to send some

skyer. Both ''long slip" and cover point"
ran to catch it, and both butted each other
in the most approved darky fashion. But
in this case the craniums of both were eau
casian, not negro, and both boys fell
senseless to the ground and were taken to

A Peculiar Russian Sect.

''The jumping monks" Is the name OF
a new Russian sect recently discovered
in the province of Orenburg. They eat
no meat and do not use liquor or to-
bacco in any form. They attend the
services Of the orthodox church, but
this does not entirely satisfy their re-
ligious cravings. They therefore hold
private meetings at which they read
Scripture with their own peculiar COM
mentaries, recite prayers and sing
hymns, dancing and clapping with their
hands. They stand by each other in
veal and woe like real brothers, and are
very kind and courteous TO strangers.
Their ''little sisters,p as they call the
female members of their sect, on meet
ing a stranger turn away and spit, re-
peating the words, ''Get thee hence,
thou evil spirit" until they get out of
his sight. They are very industrious
and thrifty, and their neighbors respect
them. The holy synod has issued cir
cular to the missionaries to dissuade the
jumping monks from persevering in
their extravagant religious perform

Hard Man to Write Ahnnt.

All his life the poet, Whittier, has been
noted for his excessive shyness and a
modesty so extreme as to raise suspi-
cion of affectation in some minds. A
recent news item says that's. 7. Pickard,
editor Of the Portland (Me.) Trans
cript, whose wife is a niece of Whittier,
is preparing biography of the Quaker
poet, with the consent and assistance of
. the latter. The assistance is of doubtful
value, however, Whittier's difidence
and modesty being great obstacles to
progress. No sooner is he led to reveal,
by the most adroit questioning, some
thing Of interest regarding his early life
and subsequent career than he inter
poses a gentle remonstrance, as, ''But l
would not mention that, if were thee"
or, 1'Thst is of no Importance, think, I"

To Guard AGAINST Accidents.

The serious accident to Collins and
Burns at Eastern park recently was de-
cidedly unfortunate occurrence but one
under the circumstances which could not
be avoided. 1t seems that some arrange
ment or instrument should be made to
be used in a desperate emergency. The
noise and excitement at the time of tbs
collision was so great that probably neither
player were able to hear the warning shouts
of his fellow players and the commands of
his captain. 1t might be a good plan to
add to the umpiTe's outfit robust whistle.
Let all ball players understand that when
this whistle blows a collision is immi-
nent, and they could drop suddenly to
the ground or stop. If Lynch had had
such whistle he would have had plenty
of time to have used it and avoided
the terrible collision. Some people may
favor the pEan of the captain having
such whistle, but the captain himself is
in just as much danger of collision as most
any of the other players, especially where
the noise and excitement is great. Base
ball is too good a game to have any such
unnecessary risks around.

the Ianthe Canoe club, OF Newark, n. j.,

scored 40 points in possible 45.
The other two big events of the meet are
the Trophy padding and Trophy sailing
races. AT Peconic bay, Long Island, last
year, H. F. MacKendrick, of Gait, Canada,
won the former in his canoe Wish. Ford
Jones, of Brockville. won the sailing race
in the canoe Canuck. Pictures of the three
winning canoes are herewith presented.
The officers of the association are chosen
each year from the division in which the
meet is to be held. The commodore and
secretary treasurer are therefore members
of the Eastern division. The commodore is
Walter u. Lawson, of Boston, and the
secretary treasurer is Ralph H. Brazer, of
Lowell. Mass. Both are ardent canoeists
and devote all their leisure time TO the in
terest of the sport. The committee on camp
and arrangements this year consists of Paul
Butler, son of General Benjamin F. Butler,
and Thomas G. Burlington. These gentle
men have made elaborate preparations for
the comfort and convenience of the camp
ers. The arrangements for the ladies
are almost perfect. Among the campers
are many men of national reputation, in

In determining the boundaries of this
new division, they were made with refer
ence TO the leading water courses rather
than to political boundaries. The Atlantic
division, therefore, includes the lower
Hudson, Delaware, Susquehanna and Po-
tomac. The Central division now en-
braces all the territory Of the United
States not defined IN the other three divi-
sions. 1t is probable that in the near
future Southern and Pacific divisions will
be formed to take in the territory indicated
by the names.
The camp this year is to be of longer
duration than ever before-three weeks.
