n rev Iva ior th' history OF tuhnos
when the deposits on the rocky Is
lands uiI the coast VI Peru were first dis.
covered, the shipments Of guano were OF
high quality, the average percentage Of
ammonia ranging from 1893 per cent. in
'he lowest sample TO 1891 per ccnt. In
the highest. But there came a change.
aud us the old deposits began TO be-
worked out aud newer ones took their
place there came also reduction In tho
quality, and instead Of IL por cent. to Is
per cent. Of ammonia and q per cent. ~
phosphatcs, many Of the shipments wont
far below these figures, and where thrrc
WAS ni,rog,a equal To 10 per cent. Of ann
monia tho sample was exceptionally
good. There ara now, however. saws tho
Mark Lane Express, indications Of re-
viyal Of the old guano days. Since tho
Peruvian corporation took the matter Ia
hand u search has been made among the
thousands Of rocky islands which cxist
on the west coast of Peru. where the
birds have their breeding grounds, ana
large deposit Of high cl.ss guano has
been found. As this has been found In
the rainless gone and has had time 10 get

There can / no doubt but that these

which will Dc marked once again by the

of the Chinese lanterns that have been
strung between the trees. That awful

and bring to her its food of bittersweet
memories
Mr.. Archibald Jones is not at all con-

An entirely different train of thought has

Bah mods gratefully. "Do," she says;
cit would be ever so kind of you, and
while you are busy I'll just run to the
house for my shawl. 1t is growing
chilly"
Bah looks on for a minute, then goes
off across the grass, u little song on her

the toe of her pretty slipper restlessly
against the edge of the step. Tomorrow
she will give this small sister a little
piece of her mind, but tonight-well,
what is the use of making scene to-

She actually comes quietly down step

Their voices futter off into a little
giggle as they rise to run away under
the trees. The fun is commencing. The
boys are sending up shower of Roman
candles.
Bah gives an involuntary sigh.

And then such strange thing hap
