Tho Mountains of central Asia.

a traveller, who has crossed the
mountainous Pamir in Central Asia,
says mountain scenery there is quite
different from mountain scenery in
Switzerland and Caucasia, where, when
the eye is tired of resting on the grand
ice scenery above, it finds pleasant
change 10y turning to the green pastures
and the forests below. In Central Asia,
however, although the mountains are
higher, the glaciers, owing to the puny
snowfall, are much smaller, while be-
low tic mountains, instead of vcrdant
fields and forests, is Il picture of utter
desolation that would be hard to match
in any other part of the world. The
country at the base of the mountains is
so high above the sea that vegetation is
very scanty, and the plains arc most
forbidding in aspect.

Rcd Rivers of Morocco.

Among the noteworthy things DR..
Oscar LEM saw when he travelled
through Morocco while ago were two
little rivers that once n year, at the
time OF the greatest heat, are filled with
red water. It is supposed the color
comes either from strata of red clay
through which the streams may pass,
or from myriads OF little red organisms.
Another curious stream was a large
creek with waters almost as salt as
those of the ocean. This creek comes
from great beds OF salt, of which it car
ries Off very considerable quantity in
solution. In the dry season the creek
bed is exposed and is found to be coz
cred with thick demonstration of salt.

died at Southampton in October. Lieut.

brigade, who was born at Parkhurst,
in the Isle of Wight, on the Cd of July,
1905, spent the declining years of his
life in Southampton, ministcred to by
his daughter, ~ question arose after
the death of Col Whichcote as to how
many survivors of the great epoch
making battle replained, and it was
asccrtaincd beyond the possibility of n
doubt that Col. Hcwett was the only
one. In June, 1915, Col. Hewett was
already captain, and the late Lord

a HUMAN RAT FERRET.

He LIS an Expressmsn by Day and q Ran
Catcher by Night.
There lives n man in our town. who
is responsible for the death of so MANY
rats that the wienerwurst peddlers NAV
well regard him as their patron saint,
says the Kansas City Times BY day'
he follows his humble calling as an ex-
pressman, and does not give evidence
in actions or appearance of his sanguin-
airy disposition. With the approach of
night he becomes different man. While
by day he is DIR. Jel1yll to the in
Vulnerable colonies of rats, at night he
is to them u Mr.. Hyde. Night after
night, regardless of the weather, he
saunters forth with four assistant ter
riers, each of whom is battle-scarred
midnight hero of back alleys. From
eight o'clock until after twelve he
walks up and down the alleys in the
business section of the city and gives
up his being to joyful contemplation of
his rat-l1illers at work. When he sees
four black shadows cut swiftly through
the darkness and hears the dying
squeak he knows that his self-imposed
mission has been forwarded somewhat
to success. Inasmuch as he has been
killing rats in this fashion for several
years, it may readily be seen that his
record is up in the thousands. Hc is
tall, powerfully built man of middle
age, and habitually wears faded
black cap, the visor of which he pulls
down quite over his blue eyes. He
takes as much pride and enjoyment in
his work as his four assistants do in
the aggregate, and vows that he will
keep it up until he has killed one hun
dred thousand of the rodents.

A SUBMARINE BOAT.
The Fancy of Jules Verne Has Become n
Reality.

The Fancy of Jules Verne Has Become n
Reality.
DETROIT, Mich, April 1.-The name
less submarine boat that has been build
ing here the past winter was yesterday
given thorough trial under water and
proved to be success in every particu-
lar. With crew of three on board the
boat started from its dock on the river
Rouge, just below the city, and first
skirm med along over the surface toward
the Detroit river. 1t was then sub
merged, going down gradually and
under perfect control of the pilot.
Under water the boat was able to at
tain speed OF over ten miles an hour,
to turn around, rise or sink with tho
greatest ease. Tho boat was submerged
several times under different circum-
stances, and proved that the peculiarly
constructed propellors were we'll adapted
to their purpose 1t was also proved
that in sinking or rising the boat main
tanned horizontal position, matter of
great Importance in submarine boat.
boat is equipped to run by steam
power while on the surface, but under
meath the water the motive power comes
from powerful electric storage battery,
the cells being charged by tho same en-
CINE that runs the boat OH tho surface.
The present boat was built only as an
experiment.
1t is of the shape of thick cigar,
with pointed ends and Impressed sides,
being forty feet long, fourteen feet deep
and nine feet beam. Its inventor is
George c. Bakor, of Chicago.
