the middle Of the last century. when its inhab-

1t is surprising how many peoples there are

blacks know that they live on Il continent

most explorers and in many books OF travel

Pahuins. This is not their name at all. and is
in fact an uncomplimeatary word applied to
them by their enemies. Their proper name is
the Fangs and it makes them very angry to be
called Pahuins

Remarkable English.

Major General Patrick Maxwell, in an
article on how English is sometimes
mutilated by the smart baboo and the
intelligent foreigner, gives an example
taken from a memoir of the late Honor
able Justice Oonookul Chunder Mookerjee,
by Mohendro Nauth Mookerjee, his
nephew, printed at Calcutta. Describing
the grief of the family on the death of his
uncle the author says, The house pre-
scented a second Babel or pretty kettle of
fish" Further on, describing the career
of the justice, he says, His first business
on making an income was to eXtricate his
family from the difficulties in which it
had been lately enwarped, and to restore
happiness and sunshine to those sweet and
well beloved faces on which he had not
seen the soft and fascinating beams of a
shipper for many a grim YisaSed year"
In another place, This was the first
time that we & pleader taking a seat

dint of his own legal weapon; and he was
all au fait, and therefore undoubtedly a
transcendcntal lucre to the council.

he would carry a logOmachy as if his wheel
of fortune depended upon it. His elevation

He had stood on the footboard for many
years, and on nearly every road in the

the history of nearly every town of impor-

made as safe as possible, but good many
people have been killed there on the double

Rock salt in England.

The accumulation of extensive beds of
rock salt must be attributed to the natural
process of evaporation beneath tOrrid sun
in the Trias days, when a series of salt
lagoons, communicating with the sea, were
dried up and incrusted with salt after the
fashion of many of the so called Australian
lakes of the present age.
The cavities at the depth of 100 feet have
been caused by the dissolution of Local
areas of rock salt through the action OF
percolating water from the higher level Of
the Bunter sandstone. This accounts fol
the great force with which the brine rises
when the stored supply is tapped, and the
subsistence of land corresponds very closely
with the extent of the cavities from which
the salt has been evaporated. Droitwict

of the Trias, and consequently there i:
