MATTED GRASS IN THE NILR.
Worry Difficult to Pass Through, hut Has
It's Good Uses.

The grass barriers through which DIR.
Junker passed measured from 100 feet
TO mile and quarter in width. and
frequently delayed him for hours on
stretches that he might have otherwise
put behind him in n few minutes, writes
a correspondent of Goldthwaite's Geo
graphical Magazine. DR.. Junker di-
reefs attention to the fact, however,
that even grass barriers are not an I'M
mixed evil, since at high water their
thickly matted substance serves the
purpose of n filter in clarifying the
stream. So it happens that the White
Nile is 1.-THE clear" while the Blue
Nile, in which the conditions are UNI
favorable TO the formation of grass bar
riers, is 1.-THE dirty"
The grass is swept into the stream
at high water from the swamps and
stagnant ponds along the banks. This
grass grows together in great masses,
which, once floated in the stream, be-
come welded by nets of innumerable
roots and smaller water-plants till a
barrier forms across the channel. The
force of the current increases the COM
pactness of the barrier thus formed and
brings it new material from above.
The barriers differ greatly as TO COM
pactness; through some the Ismalia
cut her way slowly, merely with her
prov. Others were tramped down, cut
and loosened before her by natives.
Others, like felt as DR.. Junker says,
were firm against such simple devices.
Wire cables were made fast TO each
OF these massive barriers near its edge.
and at the same time to the prov of
the lsmalia. The steamship then
backed water with all her power, and
thus tore loose and set adrift down
stream great chunks of the barrier.
To thus clear n river Of large bar
rier is a huge undertaking. Ernst
Marno, for instance, with four steam
ships and several hundred men, was
busy from September, 1879, till April,
1880, clearing his way in the Bahrel
Gebel. The piercing of barrier by a
steamship bound down stream is fire.
quently exceedingly perilous, as the
loosened masses of matted grass. in
stead of floating off behind the boat,
are often driven back against her stern
until she becomes as firmly imbedded
in the grass as she would be in an ice
field

Protective Resemblance.

Snakes and lizards are the most
brilliant of animals; but all these, if
viewed at a distance or an eye the
focus of which is adjusted not exactly
at the animal itself, but to an object
more or less distant than il, becomes,
apparently one of the hue and lose all
their gaudiness. No more conspicuous
animal can well be conceived, accord
ing to common ideas, than a zebra;
but on bright star-lit night the
breathing of one may be heard close
by and yet one will be positively UNI
able to see the animal. II the black
stripes were more numerous, he would
be seen as black mass-if the white,
as Il white one, but their proportion is
such as exactly TO match the pale tint
which arid ground possesses when seen

THE true test of all civilization is
the character of the people who par
ticipate in it. If it serves merely to
produce luxury, enervation, selfshness,
and pride it is a curse and not a bless
ing; but if, through its opportunities,
the physical nature of man is strength
ened, his mental powers are increased
and exalted, and his moral character
is purified and elevated, then has civ
ilization done her finest work and full
filled her highest mission.
