auns Wonderful Scenery in a RegisA
seldom Visited by Travellers.
We leave Corientes at 6 P. m, and
az a distance Of eighteen miles reach
the Tres Bocas, the confluence of the
Paraguay and Parana rivers. In broad
daylight it is curious TO observe the two
streams at the point where a long sandy
spit marks their junction. The waters
Of the Parana are Of a dirty greene color
while those of the Paraguay are yell
lowish brown. and for several miles the
two mighty streams flow parallel and
..nmixed, the meeting Of the two being
marked by a long line of foam, form
ing, as it were. a white cord stretching
down the middle of the river, and sep
arating the green waters from the
brown waters.
The Parana makes a sharp turn east
ward, and under the name of Alto
Parana may be followed on the map
up to about the nineteenth parallel of
latitude, where il is formed by the con
fuence Of the two rivers Paranahyba
and Rio Grande \ fer leagues lower
down the u Of the stream is inter
rupted by the t,.taract Os Crubupunga
From this poir it runs south-southwest
as far as tn twenty-fourth parallel
where it is gain interrupted by the
cataract Of Cuayra
The regiou traversed thus far belongs
to Brazil, AID was occupied by Jesuit
reduction" in the Sixteenth century.
Doubtless in the more or less distant
future, when ways of communication
have been created. all this fertile terri
tory will once more be occupied. AT
the cataract Of Guayra the frontier OF
Paraguay begins, and the river runs
from north TO south. bounding the re
public, and then from east 10 west, un-
I'll it joins the Paraguay. The few
travellers who have seen the cataract OF
Guayra describe the falls as being as
fine as those of Niagara. but unfort-
unately they are still in the midst OF
solitudes 20 which access IS difficult.
The Salto de Victoria, some twenty
miles from the confluence Of the Y-Gua-
Eu and the Parana. is also said to be
very magnificent, and somewhat easier
of access. but as yet few travellers have
seen it. The navigation of the Alto
Parana is difficult. but practical up tC
a certain point. The Piatense com.
pany runs a passenger steamer three
times a month from Corrientes TO Pc
sadas and the intermediate pOrts-LO
mas, Santa Isabel, ltuzaingoa POsadas
on the C~orrientes side, is DDS miles from
the confluence of the Parana and Para
quay rivers. From Posadas a smaller
steamer Of the same company rum
twice a month up TO Taeuru-Pucu, a few
miles above the confluence of th'
Y-Guazu. and about 400 miles from
COrrientes.
Beyond this point no screw or paddle
steamer has been able to conquer the
rapids, currents and eddies. The whole
of the banks Of the Alto Parana, from
Villa E~ncarnscion up to the Salto do
Guayra, are covered with forests o.
yerba mate, or Paraguayan tea, and
the chief traffic is the transport Of this

a new process for the manufacture
of gas from petroleum has been put
into practice at Kittanning, Pa, by
which it is claimed that gas be
manufactured at one-half the cost Of
the old. and ispuch better for nlmi
mating purposes. The method is a vero
simple one. consisting of a feeder and a
system of retorts. These retOrts are
kept at a certain heat, and the oil forced
through them into a receiving tank
hlled with water. When the heated oil
strikes the water it turns into gas, and
is conveyed from there to the suppl
tank, ready for use. 1t is said that
1000 feet Of gas can be manufactured
from one barrel of Lima on.-Nev

One Sunday recently il was Metho-
dist clergyman whose subject was go

about half his time in drawing a suit
able model. The following Sunday it
was Catholic priest, who took for his
subject, "The tug of war;" 1.-The tug
of war is of two kinds what are they ?"
he said. One little voice on the front
seat piped out: "The tug of war game
and the tug of war for life." This apt
reply started the reverend father on
what proved to be a very interesting
discourse. The next Sunday Quaker
preacher from the church in Whittier,
was the preacher.
On Sunday from 7:30 to 9 am, and
from to pm. the boys are allowed to
play outdoors. My theory is that healthy
boys need active exercise every day, and
if they do not have it mischief will be
the result. At pm. Sunday all boys
go to the school rooms, and each
must write letter. If a boy has no
person with whom he can cores
pond he writes me. Every week num-
ber of letters are addressed to me by
friendless. fatherless, motherless boys.
examine all letters that are written
and on a scratch tablet l make mem

spelled, or other errors in each letter,
but for fear of discouraging the boy
never point out more than two or three
mistakes for one child. With these
memoranda in my hand 60 before the
school during the week and write the
misspelled word on the blackbo and
have the boy who made the mistake
come before the school and write it cor

Gently been begun by the state of Cali

This state develops almost every work
it undertakes sui generis, and, in estab-
fishing this school, it acknowledges no
model but is endeavoring to SO inter-
weave original Pacific coast ideas with
the best suggestions chilled from eastern
institutions that, within the first decade
OF it existence, the Whittier state school
may itself be the model; and, fellow
teachers, earnestly ask your hearty CO.
operation in accomplishing this result.

THE TELEGRAPHERS.
A Compromise Is to Be Effected This
Week.

week.
Grand Chief D. G. Ramsey of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers will meet
General Manager A. N. Towne at noon
today, says the San Francisco Chronicle
OF Tuesday, when they will discuss the
telegraphers' troubles in all their bear
ings, and will, they think, reach some
sort of agreement. When Chief Ram
sey first came to town he talked freely
on the subject of the strike, but now he
will say little. though he still maintains
his tone OF confidence and says that
there will be no difficulty in adjusting
the matter to the satisfaction of the
order.
The railroad people as we'll as the tel
egraphers appear to be willing tor set
tlement, and compromise will be made
in few days.
Chief Ramsey conferred with the del
egates from the five divisions on the
Southern Pacific company's system at
the Baldwin hotel yesterday. 1t was
thought that several meetings between
the railroad officials and the operators
representatives would have to be held
before the trouble could be bridged over.
The railroad officials now declare that
the only Objectionable rule that the
order has is that making the consent of
the grand chief necessary before the
company can employ q student. AS
this rule is not in the constitution or by
laws it is believed that there will be no
difficulty in effacing it if the orders rep
resentatives deem it necessary during
the course of negotiations
No more men are leaving their keys,
and all along the line there is feeling
of quietude, as Mr.. Ramsey has told
the men he believes he can win their
fight and effect the organization of the
order on this coast without further
trouble.

that VIII command great deal Of attention
as the author shows the grand results of
compacting and fusiDg together all the rail-
roads Of the world. The subject is not a

to the credit of being the first to give it to
the world in an elaborated form, with dis
tances and routes to be traversed, cost of
construction and possible results.
one thing may be said of Ex-Governor
Gilpiu before going any further. The ideas
expressed by him are not new to him. He
has not taken up his subject hap-haZard and
jotted down speculative deductions from

American Continent chained to the CONT

meets encouragement from the fact that al

Mr.. Gilpin treats his subject in its physi
cal, political and social aspect, considers the
financial question, enters iuto history Of
railway construction with its costs, expendi-
lures and profits, presents arguments in
favor of the railway as factor OF progress,
discusses race problems and procliyities,
takes retrospective and a prospective view
on the situation, discusses emigration and
