The Female Bogtrotter.

We are becoming little surfeited
with these wild women as globetrotters
and travellers. Their adventures, which
for the most part are fictions based on
very small substratum Of fact, have
ceased to impress, partly because we
have ceased to believe, and certainly
ceased to respect. Who wanted them to
run all these risks, supposing them to be
true? What good have they done by
their days Of starvation and nights of
sleeplessness? their perils by land and
sea? their chances of being devoured by
wild beasts or stuck up by bushrangers?
taken by brigands or insulted by row.
dies of all nations?
They have contributed nothing to our
stock of knowledge, as Marianne North
has done. They have solved no ethno-
logical problem; brought to light no
new treasures of nature; discovered no
new field for British spades to till, no
new markets for British manufactures
to supply. They have done nothing but
lose their beauty, if they had any; for
what went out fresh and comely comes
back haggard and weather beaten. 1t
was quite unnecessary. They have lost,
but the world has not gained; and that
doctors bill will make hole in the pub
isher's check.-Mrs. Lynn Linton in

SNAP SHOTS.
How Niagara Was Formed.

HOW Niagara W rs
Once upon a time there was beauti-
full Indian maiden who was compelled
by her family TO engage herself TO marry
hideous old man Of her tribe. In her
desperation she leaped into a canoe and
pushed it over the roaring breakers OF
Niagara, preferring the angry waters to
the arms Of her detested lover. But the
god of thunder, cloud and rain, who
watches over the harvest, dwelt in
cave behind the roaring cataract. He
caught her just as her frail bark was
dashing upon the rocks below and gave
her home for many weeks in his own
mysterious cavern.
From him she learned many new
things, among them why her people
died SO often He told her how an
enormous snake lay coiled up under the
ground beneath her village, and how he
crept out and poisoned the springs, be-
cause he craved the flesh of human be-
ings and could never get enough of it so
long as they died from natural causes.
The maiden remained in the cave until
her ugly old sutton was dead; then she
returned, and the god killed the serpent
with thunderbolt.
The great dead snake was so huge that
when the people laid its body out in
death it stretched over more than
twenty arrow flights, and as it foated
down the waters of the Niagara it was
as if mountain appeared above them.
Its corpse was too large to pass the
rocks, so it became wedged in between
them and the waters rose over it, thus
fashioning the horseshoe, which remains
to this Washington Star.

The explorer Coudreau found awhile ago
while wandering among the Tumuc-Hu-
mac mountains, in the western part of
Guiana, that it was not necessary for his
men TO descend to creek when they
wanted drink of water A vine known
as the water vine is found all through that
region. 1t yields an abundant supply OF
excellent drinking fluid whenever it is
called upon. This vine grows to a height
Of sixty to ninety feet. 1t is usually about
as thick as the upper part of the human
arm 1t winds itself loosely around trees,
chambers up to their SUBMITS and then
falls down perpendicularly to the ground,
where it takes root again.
The natives cut this vine off at the
ground and then, at a height of about six
or seven feet, they cut it again, which
leaves in their hands very stout piece OF
wood little longer than themselves. In
order to obtain its sap they raise the lower
end of the vine upon some support and ap-
ply the upper end to their mouths The
section of the vine, while showing a
smooth, apparently compact surface, is
pierced with many little veins, through
which the sap flows freely. Six feet of the
vine gives about pint of water, which is
slightly sweet to the taste. Coudreau says
that it quenches thirst as effectively as
water from the most refreshing brook

"What are you going to do that for in all

Protection of ships from Lightning.

1t has been remarked that ships at sea
are now struck by lightning much less
than formerly. The explanation is to be
found in the general use of wire rope for
rigging, as well as in the fact that the
hulls of ships are now usually constructed
of iron or steel. The ship thus forms an
excellent conductor, by means of which the
electricity is diverted into the ocean before
it has time to do serious damage
