Tie Oldest Herbarium.

The Oldest herbarium in the world is
in the Psychologist Museum at Cairo,
and consists OF an inconspicuous collec-
ton of dried portions of plants. These
portions of plants and flowers were taken
from wreaths and garlands in the coffius
with mummies, where they were placed
by the ancient Egyptians as death offer
ings, and from edible plants which were
set in earthen vessels on the floor of the
seDulchre as TUG rururturo- ot-t.~-t.-es :
resting place of their beloved ones.
Many of these floral remains are SO well
preserved that, after being treated with
warm water, they can be handled like
modern herbsrium specimens. The
colors, too, are preserved in a remarka-
bic way. The most important matter ia
connection with these plants is their
age. The remains of funeral food arc
found in tombs as far back as 5000 years
before Christ. Five hundred years later
grains of mustard seed, capsules of flax
seed, gourds, lentils, beans, figs, pino
needles, juniper berries and other edibles
are found. The richest acquisitions in
leaves and flowers to the herbarium were
made from the tombs constructed be-
tween the eighteenth and eleventh CEN
turies B. G.. Among the flowers chiefly
employed in floral decorations for the
dead were the blue aud white lotus, the
red poppy, the Oriental hollyhock, crown
chrysanthemum, satf]ower. pomegranato
flower, willow leaves, grasses and pep
permint. Celery leaves came into requisl-
ton later, and onions, leeks and garlic
played an important part in the offerings
to the dead. One of the general conclu-
sions drawn from this herbarium ic that

The Worlds Consumption OF Coal.

A statistician has lately been engaged
in estimating the worlds consumption of
coal. He divides his figures into four
groups, embracing respectively the guam
tity of coal used in heating steam boil
ers, in the production of gas, in the ex-
traction of metals from their ores, and
for household purposes. It may be
taken, he says, that the total steam en-
gine capacity Of the globe is equivalent
to 100000 horse se-power, and that,
having regard to the utilization of other
fuels, the quantity of coal burned with
the object of producing steam averages
A pounds per horse. power per hour, or
an hourly aggregate of IL, 900 tons. In
all probability, however, this is an under
estimate, as the efficiency of the worlds
steam engines is calculated by some to
be 10000, COO horsepower. With re-
spect to the manufacture of gas, the
hourly consumption of the illuminating
aeriform fluid is gwen as s, 900, 900 cubic
metres, which would necessitate the dis.
tillation of at least 10000 tons of coal
per hour. More difficult to calculate is
the consumption of coal for the produc.
tion of power and heating gas; it may
be estimated, our authority thinks, at
450O tons per hour. A large quantity
of coal is used in the reduction of metals
from their ores. 1t is calculated that in
this way some 5000 tons of the mineral
are consumed every hour. A special es
innate gives the quantity burnt hourly
by works and factories at 5000 tons.
The most difficult calculation is that of
the domestic consumption of coal. 1t is
estimated at IS, 900 tons per hour, or
1890, 600 tons per day of twenty -four
hours. This figure, however, appears
rather small considering that in Great
Britain and Germany alone the daily
output of coal in recent years has aver
aged 600, 600 tons, and that the extrac-
tion in all other countries may be reck.
oned as one and half times this quan.

The Governor Was TrespasslnH.

Governor Pattison, OF Pennsylvania,
during walk in the suburbs Of Phila-
delphia recently, sat down to rest on
rustic seat beneath tree which was on
private ground, although he did not
know it. He was soon informed OF the
fact by n little girl, who, approaching
him, said: "Do you know that this is
private property, and that my father
will prosecute trespassers2" Aud there
upon the Governor, who was too much
amused by the situation to make any
protest, was escorted off the grounds by
the little girl.

Batua, form the most important group
OF African pigmies. They are all war
like, aud few of the tribes around them
have givon explorers SO much trouble
as the lutie folks, who have dogged
their caravans, skulking in tie forests
or jungle where they can hardly be seen,
climbing the trees aud swinging them
selves out on the limbs with the agility
Of monkeys, and from this vantage place
showering down poisoned arrows upon
the enemy below. Explorers tell Of tho
Batua swinging from branch to branch,
as trapeze performers take fight from
one bar to another. Grenfell and Won
Francois were astounded to see the Batua
scramble out on boughs overhangtng tho
rivers until the limbs bend low beneath
their weight. These Batua tribes extend
over the whole southern part of the
Congo basin,, and doubtless much ad-
ditional information about them will be
brought home by future explorers.
Very little is known of them ut present
except the fact of their existence.
Schlitcher says that, like the Aka aud
the Wambutti, their intercourse with
.he various tribes OF ordinary stature
among whom they live Is usually of
friendly nature, partly because the Bautu
tribes are afraid of them and partly
because the pigmies supply these
tribes with flesh aud skins in ex-
change for vegetable food, cook
ing pots, and other articles that may be
regarded as among the 'uxuries of Afri-
san pigmy life. Moreover. they are
thoroughly at home in the forest, and
are, therefore, valuable to their Bantu
friends as spies and scouts In time Of
!suds and warfare. The sites Of their
,ncampments and villages are always
carefully selected to prevent surprise,
md Stanley describes their daily life a.

alton among whom they live. Tho

liable food, watch the fires, and dry the

,eighboring tribes. They usually speak
he dialects of their neighbors, but all
travellers say that they also have dis
inct language of their own, of which
We have little knowledge.
1t is now very generally believed that
Ill these dwarf tribes are the remnant Of
he original population of Africa, who,
many centuries ago, were decimated and
widely scattered by the intrusion of
stronger peoples. While there is no di-
ect evidence proving this hypothesis,
here are circumstances which give it
much strength, and among them is the
inprobability that the various scattered
pigmy tribes could have immigrated into
territories already occupied by the Bantu,

Nor caused o sad reflection.

No sarcasm, pointed keenly,

Fair moonlight of September.
