think one Of the most interesting
groups of islands in the world is the Ca.
naries, said Arthur r. Dixon. 9 They
are about fifty to 100 miles from the AT.
rican coast, and possess delightful
climate. They are supposed to be the
Fortunate Islands of the ancients. Tene-
rife. the largest of the group, is sixty
miles long and thirty broad. In the
middle Of, the broadcast part rises the
well known peak. The natives call 1t
Pieode Teyede. 1t has double top, the
highest being more than $4,000 and the
lowest nearly 10000 feet above the level
of the sea-
Snow remains on the peaks for about
four months in the year. Very near the
top of the highest peak is great cavern
where snow il preserved throughout the
year In the summer very curious
spectacle may be witnessed in the
Canaries. The northeast wind, which
blows from 10 q m, to p. m, pro-
adnces dense stratum Of sea cloud,
whose lower surface Is about 1000 feet
above the level Of the sea. Below this
is another distinct stratum, perhaps 500
feet thick. the lower surface being from
1900 to $500 feet above the level Of the
sea. Between these strata Is q gap Of
1900 to Z, 900 feet. through which people
approaching or leaving the islands may
obtain glimpse Of the mountains. st.

parts Of the country, especially IN tbs
South. IL origin Is traceable to : racs
which occurred about 1870, or shortly
before that year. ON the famous Fairfield
track on the Mechanicsvills turnpike,
near Richmond. Va. In those days Bob
Poindexter lived in Richmond. He was
a sporting man, wore fine clothes and
owned number Of horses. Among
his animals was one named Pizarro, .
plain bay gelding. with black name and
tail. the latter bodied short.
There was nothing extraordinary about
the horse, and nobody looked upon him
as a racer But Poindexter took mo-
ton that he could run. He used to
drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched
to q buggy On the day that he was adj
yertised to appear on the track q great
crowd was present and excitement ran
high for good deal Of money had been
put up on other horses To the aston
ishment of everybody Pizarro beat every
horse on the track, and the people went
fairly wild
Bob tailed Pizarro never made much
Of record. He won two or three races,
and then went to pieces. For years at.

tree Is species Of laurel. and It grows
In extensive forests IN the mountainous
regions Of the south Of Japan, far from

Japanese Government, the wood being
very desirable for shipbuilding, Many
Of the trees attain an enormous size,
often measuring twelve feet.in diameter.
and sometimes attaining twenty feet.
The seeds or berries grow in clusters.

but, by q stringent law Of the land,
another Is planted in its stead The
simple method of manufacture employed
by the natives Is as follows: The tree is
felled to the earth and cut into chips.
A big metal pot is partly filed with
water and placed over q slow fire. Then
a wooden tub is fitted to the top of the
pot and the chips OF camphor wood are
placed in this. The bottom Of the tub
Is perforated, SO AZ to permit the steam

The third tub Is divided into two com
partments, one above the other, tho
dividing floor being perforated with
small holes to allow the water and oil to
pass to the lower compartment. The
upper compartment Is supplied with q
layer Of straw, which catches and holds
the camphor in crystals. The camphor
Is then separated from the straw, packed

ating and other purposes. Adulteration
Of camphor gum is practiced mostly by
adding water just as far as the buyer
will tolerate it. Sometimes the pur-
chaser will find that twenty pounds Of

wealthy fa' Ter living near Liberty
have made occasional visits to-
the homes of two colored women
two miles from here. For some time
the neighbors had been indignant and
had warned the two men not to come
near that vicinity. The warning was
answered by threats from the visitors.
Saturday night the ST. Joseph man
appeared at the place. About mid
night twelve masked men went to the
house, dragged the st. Joseph man
out, stripped him, Jied him to tree,
thrashed him severely and then turned
him loose without his clothing. When
last seen he was rushing nude through
the woods bound for st. Joseph.
