Wonders of Tasmania.

Awonderful natural curiosity has lately
been discovered in Tasmania and de-
scribed before the Royal Society. Near
Southport, in Tasmania, there is a large
cave with an entrance through limestone
formation. A considerable stream of
water flows along the chambers of the
cave. The first chamber reached by the
explorers showed some fine stalactites
pendant from the roof, and stalagmites
covered the floor with thousands Of
miniature steeples. All this is quite com.
mon in great caves, but now comes the
marvel: The lights carried by the ex-
plorers were suddenly extinguished by a
Whit of wind, and simultaneously the
ceiling and sides of the a " seemed to
be studded with diamonds. This mar
velous effect, as afterward appeared, re-
suited from the presence of millions OF
glow-worms, hanging to the sides and
the roof of the cavern. On passing into
chambers farther from the entrance the
explorers found similar but much grander
sights, the number of the g~low-worms
increasing with the greater quantities of
stalactites and stalagmites. About three
fourths of a mile of ave length was ex-
plored, but it is supposed that the ex-
IRENE length is from three to four miles,
and that Tasmania, therefore, has proba-
bly, the most wonderful ave thus far
discovered.-Deron Free Press.

A Big and Rapid Star.

DR.. Elkin, formerly of the Cape o!
Good Hope, South Africa, but now
astronomer OF Yale University, has been
engaged in a long and patient series of
observations on the parallel of the mighty
star Arcturus. He has reached the con
clusion that Arcturus is moving with the
almost inconceivable velocity of 3S1
miles a second, equivalent to the distance
between New York and Chicago in less
than three seconds. The earth, in its
Journey around the sun, makes the fairly
good time of 100000 miles a day, in
round figures, but the gigantic Arcturus
travels twenty-one times faster than the
earth. 1t would seem that, since Arc
turus is thousands of times larger than
our sun, the old adage about large
bodies moving slowly is net without ey-
ceptions. The time of Arcturus is the
fastest. so far as we know, of any OF the
celestial bodies. The nearest approach
to it was made by the comet of 1913,
which whirled around the sun IN perihe-
lion, at the rate of 1 $50, 900 miles an
hour. Araturus, in his regular all-year
gait, beats the reeord-his time per
hour being 1,371,6OO miles. Detroit

An Immense Fossil Elephant.

Kansas has always been noted for the
large number of fossil remains found
within the borders of the State, aud it
was for this reason that Professor Will.
iston severed his connection with Yale
College to accept a position as professor
of pafeontology in the State University
at Lawrence.
The Professor has devoted his time to
the collecting and classi6c alton of the
fossils, and now he has received notice
that an immense fossil element has been
found in the arid region among the sand
hills in the western part of the State.
The measurements show that the AMI
NAL in life was a monster indeed. and
that it was larger than any msmmoth re-
mains which have ever been discovered.
1t is sixteen feet from the sole of the
foot to the point of the shoulder, and
its length is proportionate with the
height. It is the AIM of Professor Will
iston to get the specimen intact and
place it by the side Of the immense
megatherim which is To- the pride of
the institute at Lawrence. As this Is
the first mammoth remains which have
been found in Kansas it excites much
interest among the scientists as well as
the curiosity of the general public

"Boy" and widow" in ireland.

Nothing is more likely to perplex the
English visitor to Ireland than to find
English words used there in different
sense from that in which he has been &C.
customed all his life to use them. One
of the fbest-known examples, perhaps,
that could be cited is the peculiar sense
in which the word ''boy' is used, being,
in fact, equivalent to the English
"bachelor." A young man is a ''boy"'
until he is married, and, though less
widely, ''girl" is used in a similar way
to denote a spinster. To a "foreign" ear
it sounds ludlcrous to hear q gray.haired
man or women spoken Of as a ''boy" or
a "girl," but to one accustomed to the
country the fuller meaning Is clear. II
it is intended to convey the idea of
youth as a rule quite different express
sion is used-it will be a 'twee chap" q
ssgosson," q "lad," or, for n more
grown, ga lump of a lad" is the ex-
pressive designation. Equally peculiar,
but much more Ineligible, is the Irish
use of widow. Widow in Ireland is not,
as in England, feminine. It is a word
of common gender and is seldom. used
by itself, the gender being denoted by
affixed "man" or woman" thus
widow-man" and "widow-woman" are
of every-d day use.-London Tn-Bhs.

Wonders of San Salvador.

J. B. Elvery, a gentleman who has
Just returned from a long trip through
Central America, gave a St. Louis Star
Sayings reporter the following discourse
on the wonders of the interior of San
Salvador: Eighty miles from the har-
Dor of San Elmon, going north through
the greatest length of Salvador, you will
find the fathomless lake of Ilopango,
twenty-five miles long and about nine
miles wide. Its tempid waters occupy
craters of extinct volcanoes. In 1871,
when Salvador was shaken violently by
earthquakes, the waters of the lake sank
in the night nine feet, and along its
shores were gathered earthen vessels,
curiously colored, and images carved out
of porphyry and others precisely like
those at the Museum in Washington,
taken from the ancient Egyptian tombs.
A few miles southeast from the railroad
the ever active Izalco rises 5000 feet, a
perfect cone, from the plain about Ar
NINA. The railway crosses the State Of
Santa Ana, a district of Salvador, fifty
miles square, producing, it is stated,
more coffee than any other equal area of
land in the world. In truth, every acre
of the meso Of Salvador is cultivated,
each producing from two to four crops
annually. The products are rice, tobacco,
cotton, coffee, sugar and many other
articles. The railway penetrates from
La Elmon to Punto Barrios, or to Port
Isabel, whichever harbor may be the
northern terminus very paradise.
The average density of population along
the whole route exceeds 10Ofor each
square mile. Here the villages and
towns are almost continuous, and the
population-Aztecs, ninety-two pei
cent, and Spanish, eight per cent
toll most industriously. Labor costs
twenty to twenty-five cents and food,
ten cents per diem. The thatch. rooted,
foorless abode huts of the natives (Az.
tecs) are the cheapest possible, and only
useful in protecting the occupants
against rain storms of July, August and
September, (the rainy season. when the
country is flooded almost every day.
There is not a stove or a'fire place in any
house in the Republic; none are needed
where the thermometer never falls below
seventy degrees, or rises above ninety
degrees. So great is the annual pro-
duction of fruits, and 80 short the dis
lance from Port Barrios to Mobile, shat
it is believed that the most delicate and
delicious tropical fruits, never seen in
the United States, will be distributed
everywhere from Mobile, and SO album.
dant are the crops of Salvador, and OF
the districts of Guatemala penetrated bJ
the railroad, that it must have two
tracks-one for immense local and the
other for i%nteroceanic freights and travel.

Forest Fires in India.

OF late years steps have been taken to
prevent the destruction of forest: by fire
in certain districts of India. This care
has had one curious result. Cover aad
water, which vanished with the timber,
have again become common, and there
has consequently been a large increase
in the number of tigers. For the same
reason there has also been an enormous
increase in the number of wild deer. In
one sense it is fortunate that the deer
have grown in numbers with the tigers,
for the latter have preyed upon them in
stead of upon cattle and human beings.
When, however, they shall have scared
away the deer, or have become tired OF
venison, they will probably PROV
around villages and play havoc with
cattle, besides killing their man or two.
